It's basically the "yeah he's good but where's his championship" argument lol.

 

[Hardy]

"Also he looks like a ninja turtle and I'm more of a Street Sharks guy".

Best of luck for the final. Remember to check injury reports and set your line up early as it get locked as soon as games start and they start very early today

--- Double Post Merged, May 16, 2021 ---

On another note play in gonna be lit.

--- Double Post Merged, May 16, 2021 ---

As it is now. Bucks meet Heat the first round. I feel sorry for giannis, he'll have to go home first round this year

--- Double Post Merged, May 16, 2021 ---

Hornets, wiz and pacers all tied, today results gonna determine 8th which mean one less game in play in

Lakers and blazers situation is also interesting

 

[SirSamuel016]

What match-ups/teams are you peeps interested in come play-ins and play-offs?

For me the teams I'll be keeping an eye on are:

West: Lakers, Nuggets
East: Wizards, Bucks, Knicks

 

[Hardy]

Detroit

 

[scav]

Wiz got 8th seed, great

 

[Faust]

Suns vs Nets NBA Finals would be a very epic storyline, mostly because of Steve Nash.

Although Nash have a championship ring already from the time he worked as a consultant for the Warriors.


A ring for CP3 would be nice.

 

[Hardy]

WHO CARES ABOUT THE NBA THE ONLY TOURNAMENT THAT MATTERS JUST FINISHED

 

[SirSamuel016]

Hey guys, just thought I'd say I've created a group for ESPN's "Playoff Basketball Battle". As I understand it, you just pick whatever fucken teams you think win play-ins and play-offs as they roll around and person with the most points wins the feeling of success, and if you're the best out of everyone playing in this ESPN thing, $30K USD. So yeah, come join this one and use the password Ayyyy#18 to join. You can also get 2 entries in the league if you want, as I accidentally found out :P

@Belserion @goldb @syx @Mazino @M3J

Also congrats to hardy on the big fat W in the draft league! Really enjoyed this season, and while 3rd wasn't optimal I'll still happily take that finish. Jokic for MVP.

when do we pick our team?

 

[SirSamuel016]

when do we pick our team?

You're not picking a team, you're picking results of the play-ins and play-offs

 

[M3J]

You're not picking a team, you're picking results of the play-ins and play-offs

how do I do that?

 

[Hardy]

how do I do that?

I think ESPN has those locked until the next hour

--- Double Post Merged, May 17, 2021, Original Post Date: May 17, 2021 ---

You can pick now

 

[M3J]

Done.

So that's how it works

 

[Faust]

Spurs is donezo.
DeRozan 5/21

Morant Brooks/Valanciunas waiting for the loser of LeBron/Unibrow vs Wardell/wIgGiNs

Career high numbers much wow

--- Double Post Merged, May 20, 2021, Original Post Date: May 20, 2021 ---

Buzzer beater from the scoring champ

--- Double Post Merged, May 20, 2021 ---

Another buzzer beater, LeBron (poked by DrAyMonD) for the win!

 

[Newkerzy]

Goddamn. What a game. I was begging for Steph to just hurry up and hit a half-court because at that point, all bets were off.

 

[scav]

Whew been busy since fantasy ended, didn't have time to make a proper post.

Thanks everyone for playing fantasy. that was definitely interesting and made me more engaged when following the regular season. I hope ya'll gonna be back next season.

Congratz @Hardy and @Belserion. That final was interesting. It's a shame that many players rested last week, it kinda added too many hazards. I'm planning to finish 2 weeks before the playoff next year. I like how hardy got actively involved in trades and made the wheel spin. Hope more people get involved in trading next season.

Spoiler: final ranking

1- Hardy
2- Belserion
3- SirSamuel
4- goldb
5- scav
6- hakuteiken
7- syx
8- mazino
9- faust ( dropout)
10- m3j

m3j, i believe you gonna improve . The fun is in participating not winning. Sadly consolation bracket was less active than the winner bracket but i can't blame people for losing motivation when they didn't make it to winner bracket.

Bit disappointed we had some dramas but also glad we didn't let it ruin our fun

@goldb, i would like to suggest a badge reward for hardy, if it's not already in the making.
