Great write up. We'll see how things shake up. It will be an interesting finish.

I was relieved to get a big win in the prime time #7 vs #8 matchup last night :)

Hopefully I can pull out something in relegation and stick around!

Eagles certainly seem like the favorites to promote, but they're built around a starting 5 with little depth behind it. That injury could be key in deciding the HCA for the likely championship matchup with the Mad Hatters.

Yeah, I have the Mad Hatters winning due to their bench.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm afraid I'm not even gonna go past the first play-off round. This was supposed to be my rebuilding year as I sold my starting bigs to completely rely on homegrown talent and then got hit with a number of injuries, none bigger than my SF who went out for 4 weeks and still has 2 more to recover so he will miss that first game.
My new starting center will be back, but in pretty terrible shape after the injury.
In fact, there's a very good chance I won't finish top of the division as I have 2 away games against 2 of the strongest teams in the division.

So it's been a good run, but most likely it'll end for me with 3 straight losses, last being the play-off.

I just played in the game of the year with Mirandas. Wow. My PF fouls out before the 1st HALF ends and I'm already weak in the front court due to a prior injury and I was playing small ball to start the game up. My backup plays well. Both of us are scoring points like crazy. In the 4th I think I have it in the bag and then I foul a three point shooter on back to back possessions. They get 5 points of 6 free throws. I still have a nice lead but then they connect on back to back three point attempts and I miss some FTs and we go to overtime. In overtime my starting PG gets hurt and now I'm really thin. Plus for some reason my starting SG gets subbed out and misses 3 minutes of OT. So for most of OT I had to rely on 2 rookies, my starting SF who I just bought last week, my former starting SF who had to play stretch PF, and my backup 40 year old center. Somehow I still score some points and squeeze out the win. Willd, wild game. If any of you have the chance go watch it. Probably the craziest BB game I've sat and watched. Good game to the Mirandas. I'm just glad I have finally clinched HCA throughout the playoffs.

Holy cow I was definitely not expecting the game to play out the way it did... I haven't been able to watch much of the games this season but this is definitely one I'll be turning on the tivo for. Just based on your recap alone I'm a little sad that I couldn't win OT with the lineup you had out there. Though I'm sure if you played with a healthy roster and didn't TIE, you would've wiped the floor with me. GL in the playoffs!

Yeah, that was an amazing game. I was only able to catch the last minute of the 4th and all of OT, but it was intense! Until you team went on a little run, I thought Mirandas might pull off the upset. Good luck in the playoffs.

Pretty surprised that I took game 1 of my relegation series despite going playoff normal and being away. Was hoping to get an enthusiasm boost for the home game and send it to 3. Looks like you guys MAY be stuck with me for another season, but we'll see :)

Yeah, it seems like San Diego wasn't trying to win this win IMO. Here's to hoping for an exciting game 3!
