Congrats on the great Cup run. So very hard for a non-NBBA team to make the finals and we can see from that travel call at the end that the refs clearly protect the NBBA teams.

I think you are still the clear favorite for the the postseason, but I also think it is shaping up to be a fairly competitive postseason all around. Should be an exciting couple of weeks.

I would complain about the refs, but they bailed out Honeycutt when he decided to drive in the last two minutes that let me tie it back up at 90. And after the first period, I thought Busch was a goner but nobody really got into foul trouble. I ended up just not able to make a stop in the first half of the fourth quarter, and not able to hold on to the two point lead I had late long enough to get into a FT vs 3s battle, where I think I would have been able to put it away. I'll take it.

We'll have to see on the postseason. I probably was a clear favorite at 22-0 last season too, but that first game in the Finals is one of those that will haunt this team forever. At least now I won't have to worry about a Cup game any more, so I won't be constrained in my lineups as much, but likewise I would not be surprised in the least to see the Cantaloupes knock me out if they finish fourth either. The playoff race on this side is crazy close.

Come on, we all know that all games are only decided in the last seconds and nothing that happened prior to that truly matters! The refs stole this one from you with that ridiculous traveling call!

And actually, if the Cantaloupes win their next game, there is a chance they end up in third and you'd be facing BHT or TF - whoever might win the point differential if all three teams end up at 13-9. Which certainly seems possible. On the other hand, and I'd say less likely, if BHT and TF both win big, you could be facing Milwaukee to open the playoffs. As you said, the race is crazy on your side.

Less so in the Great 8, as the teams are already decided. But if Redbull upsets JC, or one of the new teams pulls out a surprise win, the 2-4 seeding can certainly change. And while SF is the favorite, the right tactics, a few bounces, and bit of luck could land any one of the four in the finals. I know my team is no where near ready to promote, and I've already made adjustments based on next season's training plans, but that also means I have nothing to lose in the playoffs and can take chances.

Oh man, that was too close (just reviewed the play by play). Nice comeback in the second half of the 4th.
Shultz' back to back 3's were quite clutch.

Incidentally, the playoff games that have been calculated are based on the standings after the 21st game (since that still hasn't updated). Marin's aware of it and it'll be fixed. I wouldn't have minded drawing TF now that he's sold off four players, though. ;)

Thanks for letting Marin know.
I am ready for my humiliating plummet to 7th place.

Well, someone had to do it, so I naturally took one for the team by letting you do it.

I need to go through and look at some of the other leagues I had seen where the playoff standings were still wrong as of yesterday afternoon. Hopefully those are all fixed.

Wow. I hadn't realized you had never made the playoffs here - I've certainly always considered you as being one of the better teams in your conference. I'd love to see you get a runner-up trophy this year. ;)

Y'know, I'd be rooting for you, but I'm afraid that would mean another season of listening to hrudey lament about how his poor team blew another season. I think it is time to get rid of him. lol.

Really looking forward to our playoffs this season. I think the two regular season winners are the favorites, but I do think that anyone could win any of the opening games, and probably any of the possible future match-ups. That kind of wide open post season is just fun.
