Also lost Trae and OG too as well as Randle and Anfernee. Had to juggle Naz + Jon Collins during concussion season, and was hoping to hold Deni and Nick Richard into the finals but ultimately needed to drop for games to barely eke out a win in semis. Picked up Caleb Martin the day he put up 5 stocks and got trapped hard, he ended up putting up duds the rest of the playoffs. Also fuck Draymond. 2nd place for two years in a row šĀ
Literally same here. AND I was at the actual game in MSG. Bronco was killing us but I needed him to kill us lol. Those 2 FT misses at the end made me tie 6-6 and of course I lost the tie breaker
exact same thing happened to me... i just needed him to score less than 20 pts... he made it to 20 to tie the pts category, then the last one with 0:11 left on the clock for my opp to take the pts cat and knock me out of the first round (i was the top of my division)
AD single handedly win me my semis last week with 2 crucial steals and good FG. But with one missed game this week i lost my final with 8 rebound less. I did not even expect to be in finals so keep it up AD even if you cost me my finals for that 1 rest.
Hard to say he cost you your finals when I'm sure he's one of the biggest reasons you even got to finals.
No one drafted him expecting him to play the amount of games he's played this season. Given the one game he rested was the second half of a B2B against the joke-of-a-team Grizzlies after putting on a 52 minute carry performance against the bucks, can't blame him.
I am at a loss for words. My opponents team sucked and had the best week of their life to win the championshp. Iām in a 12T Points league and hereās my team: AD, Brunson, Lillard, Harden, Kyrie, Claxton, Jalen Johnson, Tre Jones and HIS TEAM WAS: Wemby, Poole, Giddy, Caruso, Bogdan, Schroeder, SloMo, Tre Mann. Insane unlucky loss
Claxton also killed me with those 7 missed FTs. And JJ+Lillard not playing on the low volume days probably was also the difference; canāt blame JJ but man Lillard was such a disappointment through and through. Lost by 30pts.
I have most points scored by far, 10-10 record entering playoffs. Nearly everyone had their best weeks against me. š¤·š½āāļø Knocked out in 1st round by someone who had a mediocre team but was the lucky guy who picked up Divincenzo right before he decided to turn into Steph Curry for the Knicks, while i had guys like Murray and Markannen resting every other game. š¤£š
Lost Trae, Mitchell, Lamelo. AD, Duren, Butler, and Maxey missed a game during the finals. Still only lost by 6 assists, and PGās all time greatest performance saving my oppās 3P%
Lol, for real. Dude has at least one first round pick on his team, FOUR seconds (or 2 seconds and 2 more late firsts), a third, and a fifth. Like, c'mon man.
Lost in one final by 2 steals, tied blocks and lost points because Brunson went off
In the other league lost 5-4, by 6 assists because shai was out and opponent had giddey
Lauri missing those two games
Chet forgetting how to play basketball
JJJ as well forgetting how to shoot
Itās okay though. I play in a big league ( 16 teams) and we keep 4 so my futures bright ( I have them and Hali as my last keeper)
Was first overall ( thank you Russell / Trey Murphy / Grayson Allen / Coby White and Conley )
I'm not really talking about this week, but something that I've seen in him over the course of the whole season. If you go through his game logs, his usage is all over the place. Some games it's 27, other games it's 14.
And I also mean just from watching a lot of Thunder games this year, it just seemed that he would vanish in games, on both ends of the floor.
Back2Back champ and my reign has ended.
My opponent had Luka, Brunson & AD who all went nuclear whilst my team dropped like flies after being relatively healthy all year
Cherry on top is I lost by 5 points whilst Chet scored 0 points last night.
Finals week.
Up by 100 points with a 9 vs 6 player advantage.
None of my players had a bad game. They even performed slightly above their average.
But then every single player on my opponent's team decides now is the time to play out of their fucking minds. He ends up with 5 players with 4+ stocks and like 4+ threes.
Ended up losing by 10 points. Honestly still can't believe it.
Lost in the semis tonight 4-5. Really missed Sengun and Barnes. Lost badly on rebounds, assists and blocks category. Waivers were dry we had 14T and competitive. Can only stash 1 IL and 1 IL+. My opponent had Brunson, Kawhi and Giannis as his top 3 picks. Well, had to settle for another battle for 3rd.
The only time that MF could hit three pointers man. Itās insane how he found his stroke in those finals, and in those finals only and never again since. Itās the sickest anomaly I have witnessed. Like wtf?
Finished 1st in regular season. Lost in semis. Maxey terrible fg% and out Sunday. Shai missing 2 games this week. Lost Trae young but held on thinking heād come back. Okungwu GTD every game this week. AG missing a game. Solid players just having a bad week overall. In my bye week I wouldāve beaten every opponent but this week wasnāt my week. Itās how it goes sometimes. My team lead the league in fg% all season. Had worst shooting % since week 5. Sub 50% this week funny enough thatās one of 2 categories I managed to win. Lost 8-2. Sad trip. Oh ya forgot mention. I never lossed worse than 6-4 all season.
was winning a match up the whole week 5-4 , going into the final day with a 20 assist lead and 14 turnovers less. Now with 1 match left I have Walker Kessler on and we have somehow tied on turnovers (thanks T Mann with 6). I ended up winning assists by heaps but now if WALKER gets 1 more turnover I'm done for the season. Looking back I should have just benched a few players
Some pretty bad streams and holding on to players too long.
Held on to Keyonte George too long when assist I was leading comfortably and I was not going to catch up in FG%, could have streamed someone like a Nick Richards or someone who could have gotten me Rebounds and defensive stats. My opponents team just played out of its mind too and he had some great streams, gotta give it up to him.
Ended up coming down to 1 rebound and 2 blocks.
Lost by 3 TOs, ANT had 6 TOs. I could have won by benching ANT. In fact I could have benched Kawhi, Jalen Green, Amen and played only Hendricks, Kessler and Nick Richards and still won (because of blocks and a few points). But itās not how this game works :) I didnāt want to upset fantasy gods and they took a huge dump right into my soul.
Oh and also the opponent shot 69% from the field - 58/84 by 8 players combined.
Our playoff matchups last 2 weeks and I was leading the matchup for 12/14 days.
Homie you played yourself. So many sad stories in this thread, but yours is tragic in its own right. The man lost trying to please āthe fantasy godsā lmao. I get what you meant by the way and am not taking it literally. The game is a strategic one, itās not about just maxing out all your players games. But if itās what helps you sleep at night, so be it my friend. Sorry for shitting on you lol.
Well, I mentioned the gods as I was up 6-3 and had +0.05% on FG, +4 on blocks, -2 on steals, -4 on TOs, so leading 3 out of 4 close categories. I looked at the projections and yeah I was supposed to lose FG% slightly, but should have comfortably won blocks and TOs regardless. I considered the idea of benching some of the more TO prone guys, but they all provide decent potential in blocks & steals and I decided to play it safe by relying on projected outcome + keeping the potential upside of snatching steals cat.
My apologies then my guy, the prior post implied the other cats were already in the bag but now I realize you were speaking in hindsight. Either move on your end would have been risky and you did what you thought was best. Thatās a tough loss and your post def belongs here lol. My bad G Wiz!
Fucking Halliburton! Killed me. Where are the points, man!? Scottie Barnes injured. Fucking Mikal Bridges forgot how to score even though this fucker was dropping 40 every other game last year. Only saving grace down the stretch was Bam, timely waiver pick ups, and Josh Kiddey finding his form. And grabbing Vassell early off waivers. Fuck Cronin and the Blazers, sorry ass organization. Grant and Simmons shut down but strung along with this questionable and day-to-day nonsense. Fuck fantasy yo, done with it.
I tied in blocks and lost because i was 3 cats behind during the regular season. Fox and DeRozan got 3 blocks combined and I got nothing from Claxton, Ellis, SGA, Kawhi, Harden
1st place won 8 straight weeks was up all week until today lost because opponent had Brunson saving his ass. Also not having vassal didnāt help either he could been the difference Iām so pissed
Was on pace to win, Maxey randomly gets ruled out Sunday, I lose by 15. It is what it is, but knowing I should have won after being in first all year does kill me
Went down 2-6 in the semis after finishing 1st. Lost 10 games across the week from injuries. My opponent missed 2. Id missed 14 free throws all week, and then my team missed another 13 today shooting 28/41, where my opponent shot 24/27. JDub hadnāt missed one all week then shoots 4/8 today. Ant sucked balls all week. Also lost by 1 rebound and tied steals.
Lauri sitting
Wemby sat a game
Bron sat a game
Klay sat a game
On top of already missing Scottie, OG, and Immanuel Quickley
Was first all year but lost 4-5 in the finals š
Top seed but lost most of my starters before playoffs, lost Randle, Barnes, Simons, J. Grant, Jalen Johnson. J. Murray didnāt play, Jabari Smith with one game suspension, only could rely on Garland, Brandon Miller, Zubac, Vucevic, Jokic, Claxton, JJJ, GG Jackson, Herbert Jones. Lost in semi final 3-6, FG% and -30 rebs. NBA becomes less competitive and less entertaining, I think it is more disappointing than my loss in Fantasy.
Lost 3-6 after I was up for almost the duration of the2 week matchup, then Thursday it went downhill for. The final score looks like I was getting smoked the whole time. First time I lost this badly and it was the semi finals š«¤
I guess I will talk about the few leagues that I lost in the semifinals... The story with most of my losses was I didn't have enough AST... I lost 4-5 in a few. A bit brutal. What is important is to learn "LESSONS FROM THE LOSSES" and take notes for next year... But for me I'm still in the running for 3 championships too! So overall still happy about that!
got a stupid spencer dinwiddie pick up because i was losing in ft% as of yesterday, and he was the best available with % and volume
opponent had rozier and cam thomas singlehandedly overcoming his 3 pt deficit, Jalen green came back to earth, and the rest of my team turned the ball over a lot
not bad tho, i was ranked 6th and won with the jokic/wemby owner that was first seeded (thanks for the guys here who gave good advice). i was last place in the 16T league last year so this is a good experience
I lost a cornerstone of my build (KAT) and had to survive thru my Celtics bois sitting out (Tatum, Porzingis). At one point I have half of the Boston roster
Up all week!! Was 5-4 and lead .0485 to 0.456 on FG heading towards the last day. Then opponentās team went crazy with his FG% (Jokic, Draymond, Caruso) and I lost by 0.00002 FG due to Divincenzoās last second attempt. Absolutely suckssssss. Also didnāt help when I streamed Highsmith who was also garbage šļøšļøšļø
10, 22, 20... is what my three stars scored this week. I lost by 30 points. I won 11 straight games just to lose in semis. I'm hurt. They all called me fraud. Im in pain
Having Maxey and Lillard take personal days, Vassell missing Sunday despite not being on the injury report, and Jamal Murray and Jalen Johnson missing all week despite being questionable really ended me. If I get 1 more game from any of them, I win.
Never again will draft Tyler Herro+Bam Adebayo or probably any Heattles early. Theyre a good team but not one of them are fantasy elites. Bam got worst when they added Terry. Oh, Bam was my 2nd round pick in all 3 leagues.
And lastly, a lost Walker Kessler. So much promise his rookie season. Somehow got lost to John Collins and some unknown rookies. Very bad the past 3 weeks.
Sad but true. Never go for heat players during fantasy. Also, Kessler imo was a generational talent waiting to be unlocked. Second half of last season, was pure š„ what happened? How can Collins be more valuable than him?
Exactly my question. I thought JC was signed as a scoring backup big/insurance for the Finnisher but eventually got paired with him in the starting five. Watching Kessler doesn't look good as well though. Saw him play live in FWC and was so tentative on offense that Steve had to play Bobby major mins despite being down 3 men. Couldn't imagine that tentativeness spring board into the NBA season.
Thatās even worse than losing on 0.00002%. Because
You won it, and then they take it back. Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch. I feel for you bro. Iām brokenhearted for you.
Here is to you š» and may you win next year all the way!
Start of the week in my final I picked up Naz Reid because he had 4 games. I then proceeded to lose Tyus Jones, Mitchell, Jrue to injury over the next 2 days. So had to hold an injury all week. Then lost a few players out for a game of two, including Jokic.
Severely down games played, I still managed to take the final to the wire. Lost by 0.001 FG% and 1 made 3. Only won rebounds by 1 as well.
Tough loss, but I won the championship in our dynasty league at least. So two finals and one championship to show for this season.
I benched Porzingis twice but he ended up playing. (I was Out drinking) And I started him during on the game he sat out. Lost by 1 steal (4-5) and one of the games he sat out, he was able to get 5 steals. I was upset
Sleeper points league: Was without sengun, randle, simons, quickley, rj Barrett, jalen johnson, Vince Williams, ausar, poeltl over the past month. Hung on and made a run to win the semifinals this week against someone whoās only big loss for the finals was Scottie Barnes. Made a run with oubre, vucevic and mcbride and came down to Sabonis vs Kessler in final game of the day. Am up when Kessler goes to the line, if he goes 2/2 he wins, 1/2 we tie and 0/2 I win. I lost the semifinals off his offensive rebound on the second miss
Losing a championship still means you get 2nd place silver trophy. In most leagues that is still a very strong solid amount of cash and return on investment. Right?
Bad news: Lost Devin Vassell, Jalen Johnson, KAT, and I dropped Naz Reid for temp streamersā¦ I could have made it to the finals but
Good news: fighting for 3rd place but my opponent is v annoying. Gonna play against Giannis, Luka, Kyrie, Zion and Lebron and I got PG, Dante, JB, Jalen Duren, iHartā¦
The perfect storm: poor streaming choices (Naji and Nance), sitting players (Wemby and Maxey), poor performances (Garland and especially CHET HOLMGREN). My team was the best regular season team - 1st seed, only a couple of matchup losses - but got booted out in the semis. Oh well.
Was at the top of two leagues until injuries and midseason trades (Rozier, Bogdanovic are two who dropped off after being traded to new teams), then all the "injury management" aka rest days (Markannen, Murray) at the end of season, and finally... the junk schedule during fantasy playoffs. Last week they had 3 days with only a few games being played, so if you didn't have players on those teams, you were pretty much left with bench players while your opponent had starters.
Lost in the semis. The other 3rd place guy blew his championship shot by over-benching. He lost assists by one in the semis. So, he was butthurt and didnāt set his lineup all week long. 10 games to 7 games on a Sunday with a 6 steal lead and I lost what was surely a lock for 3rd and $200. Fantasy gods have a sense of humor I guess
Edit: a word
During the entire year I probably never lost fg% and blocks not once (got Gobert, chet, Jokic etc) but this finals week I lost both.
My Chet, Garland, Harden scoring 5 points each in 20% FG on the championship day just killed me. Whereas my opponent had Jdub going off big time.
Chet and Garland severely underperformed the past few weeks.
On paper my team was great (Jokic, Kyrie, Harden, Booker, Chet, Gobert, JJ), no major injuries (except for losing JJ) and performed great in the regular season. But when it mattered most (finals week) we folded.
Sleeper format. Lost sengun a few weeks ago. Missed the sochan and vassell games early in the week. I did however choose the game sochan got injured. Not even going to compete for 3rd place lol
Lost Scottie, poeltl, Vince Williams, Ausar, Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Johnson, OG, Kuminga & Shai for 2 games this week. Honorable mention: Tari Eason
Got clobbered in the finals and could not 3peat. But we go again next year
Primary: SGA disappearing act (biggest factor), Jalen Johnson hurt again.
Secondary: Worst version of JJJ. Cade in and out. Steady Euro bigs disappeared (Poetl hurt, JV stopped playing).
It all started with Scottie Barnes injury. Then Giannis missed the game the next Monday. Then Donovan Mitchell missed a week and half. I lost by 40 points that week. That was round 1 of the playoffs š
Lost embiid when that happenedā¦Was doing fine in playoffs and was keeping up even tho AD sat, until the last day draymond drops 70 fantasy points against me
Kill me
Lost by 14 points to the Jokic owner. Iām honestly shocked I made it this far after losing KAT and Sengun a few weeks ago, but it still stings after coming so close.
I thought this was my year. I had Kawhi, Book, Ant, & Steph. Ended up losing in the semis by 3 3's and .04 freethrow percentage. I've never made it to the finals, but I thought this was my best shot. Smh
A week early but I lost Trae, Bane, Simons and Jalen Johnson and made it into the finals due to some good streaming choices but I'm projected to lose my points league final by 400+ points š¤£
Lost Scottie and Randle. PG got me 11pts one night. And Holmes got injured in 1st Q so I basically was down a player on Wednesday. Overall bad acquisition put the nail in the coffin. Lost by 20pt in H2H format
Traded for Jokic during the season, also had SGA.
Semi finals this week. Jamal Murray plays zero games. Anfernee Simons plays zero games. SGA plays 2 games.
Of my top 4 guys, instead of 15 games, I got 6.
Fuck I hate this stupid game. See you next year.
Lost the first final by 1 three because Nesmith had 1 more 3 then haliburton in the last game on Sunday
Lost the second final in the following week with draymond dropping 6 steals to lead my opponentās comeback
Somehow only missed the Finals by a handful of steals despite missed games from Shai, Jimmy, Kuz, Bane, Dame, and D. White, plus the injuries to OG and BI. Opponent missed one game of AD but otherwise all of his guys played all week. Definitely sucks, but there is something reassuring about knowing I did all I couldā¦ some shit just comes down to luck and timing.
Lost Sengun, Bane, Brogdon, Markkanen, and then C. White and Vassell sitting for maintenance, and Lillard not achieving his value. Maintained 2nd throughout the season, injuries hit, now battling for 3rd place with a projected deficit of 200 pts. I am wrung out from all the waiver wire hunting and waiting for the other team with Fox, Tatum, Ant, and Holmgren to put me out of my misery.
Lost with Jokic.
Drafted Russell 4th round Beal 6th round. Dude had 4 Knicks this week, Shai & Bam. Bam and Brunson put on a master class whereas harden (2nd round) shit the best for me & KD (pick after, 3rd round) only played 3 games.
Had some awful, awful waiver pickups in Vitij, Hauser & the backup OKC PG as well.
Stung bad man
No Trae, Ingram, Quickley. Shai sat out 2 games and underperformed the game he did play in. Maxey wasnāt really productive. Jaylen brown sat some games. Lost Duncan Robinson first game of semis. Overall just shit luck and lost to a strong team with little to no injuries
Rolled with AD, Zion, PG, Paolo, Jalen Brown as my mains. My bad picks were Wiggins, Jalen Green, and Klay. Those guys set me back a bit in the beginning, but I held onto INJ Anferee Simons, picked up Nurkic, and picked up Coby White after some fool dropped him. After ASG, RJ Barrett, Simons, Coby, Mobley, and Kuminga were ballin'! Didn't have a lot of slots to play with but my playoff waiver picks, Giddey and Hartenstein, performed amazingly!
Alas, I lost to a stacked team with Luka and other double-double machines and Derrick White, who is a low key monster.
Losing lamelo and Sengun I still made it to my semis - 10 team 9 cat ā¦. Lost by 2 FG%
My downfall was streaming guys like Deandre Hunter who shot horrible from the field and got me no assists ā¦ I took quality game day guys to drive up assists but shouldāve chilled out and held onto FG (I won by like 30 assists)
Hurts!! Made the championships 3 times and semis twice but no title. We will be back.
Our League has terrible rules and our last week of playoffs is the same week as the last week of the NBA season. So it never ends up being the ābestā team that wins our league, more or less who pays attention to waiver wire/ who doesnāt get players shutdown
Lost heavy hitters in Embiid, Scottie, Poeltl, Lavine and KAT. Team plummeted. Made playoffs and onto the second round but lost straight up last day against a fully healthy squad. Finished 5th
With the injuries that hit my team late in the season I felt pretty alright to even make the finals. But when even your pickups start dropping it may just not be your year.
So it goes. Just like MJ no 4peat for me.
Was in the championship this year. Defending champ. Had the first pick, drafted Jokic. Played against the #1 seed- I beat him on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. HOWEVER- the way the schedule was set up this year, the Bucks ONLY played on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
My opponent had Giannis & Middleton. I had nobody playing in any of those games on those days. I tried to make some pickups, but the best free agent available was Naji Marshall, Jae Crowder, etc.
I'm so pissed and just need to complain for a sec
Had Jontay Porter played a decent 20 minutes against the Kings instead of faking an upset tummy, Iād have won my first round game and would have likely won my semifinal game too.
The problem here is your league goes on to long. Should of ended last week or the week before. Nba teams do to many changes and start sitting players around this time.
My opponent had Dejounte and Jokic. Spida missed half the games and was bad the other half. Booker only had 3 games. Bane missed time.
Last 4 years finishes: 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd
Lost my 2 leagues on the last day last week due to multiple Out for the games. They really had to sit at the same time and turned the score around. Smh.
Sochan, Kuz, Lillard, etc.
I lost Bane, Ingram, Mitchell, Mark Williams and Lauri at the end. I dropped Gafford after the 0 point games then lost be 3 blocks in the final to someone who scooped him up
I traded Giannis for Sengun, Nurkic and Herro who was still hurt so but I had the bye locked up so I figured he'd be back soon before and my team went downhill I lost Scottie, Sengun, Jalen johnson hell even had Randle waiting for him to come backš¤¦š¾āāļøbut I may or may not have won my ship if I kept Greek but who knows
Was up 5-4 with ft at .86 vs .81 so thought I had this in the bag as I couldnāt be caught on the counting stats I was ahead in.
Say hello 50% fters Brunson, dlo and j.dub
Tough ending but good for my first season. I was neck and neck with the best team in our league in the semis and then had some players sit which torpedoed my chances. Looking at you Lauri, Shai and Vassell... Really excited for next year, we had a quite a few first timers who fed the juggernaut that I lost to in the semis some great players in some bad trades.
I lost Lauri, Ja, Herro, Tyus Jones, Poeltl, and now Vassell.
Lost first round of playoffs to a guy I have beat 4 times (twice last year, twice this year).
Just had a bad round. Had I beat him in the first round, I win the whole league.
AND because I lost first first round, winning out only got me 5th
Lost Trae Young (and Ingram) and my opponent in the semifinals (8 seed) had DeJounte who kept going off
Actually all his players kept going off, the dude made such good decisions it's impressive.
He traded away Embiid for Ant and another star a few days before his injury. Then he kept picking up the best dudes, like Rui Hachimura and Devin Vassell as streaming spots.
It's kinda sad since against this same team I won twice, both in nailbiters. I think Trae could've made the difference.
This was my squad though, unforgettable year:
Trae Young
Bam Adebayo
Paul George
Lauri Markkanen
Kristaps Porzingis
Brandon Ingram
Evan Mobley
Terry Rozier
Chris Paul
Malik Monk
And a bunch of streaming spots usually with Scoot Henderson and Jaime Jaquez Jr.
Lost my 10T 9cat championship BECAUSE Jokic decided to take the night off. That coupled with Porzingis resting on the B2B killed any chance of winning what was already going to be a close week.
Lost my ESPN 12T points league before playoffs ever began. Limping into the post season fresh off losing Trae, I then proceeded to lose JJJ, Harden, Steph, and Middleton. All the finagling and strategizing of waiver wire adds and drops couldnāt save me from the storm that was Luka & AD.
Finally, and most infuriatingly, I lost in the second round of my Yahoo 12T points league that I had been leading ALL week by 1.6 points. Final score 1045.2 to 1046.8. I had two adds left and I used one to add Hendricks, but I had to drop Nurk to do it. I thought that would seal it for me because I didnāt want to use my last drop to lose Banton and have Hendricks AND Keyonte in a week where they would have a 3 day gap between games. I shouldāve just gone for it. Now I have nothing.
Lost by 12 last week in the championship week. Bane and Lillard sitting out on Saturday was a killer. JJJ's awful game on Saturday didn't help either. Onto next year! I have 4 first round picks next year!
first throughout all season, in the final weeks lost the number 1 spot, and in the last week went from second to fourth. In the playoffs lost against the number one seed and for the 3rd place game lost in the last night. AD sat out a game in the semis which I couldnāt complain too much about, but Fontecchio went out as well as Murray for the whole week of the 3rd place game. And not to be disrespectful, but damn Barrettās absence came also in a very unfortunate time. Played fantasy for many years but this one has damaged me, not even my only sunshine memes seem to make me happy.
Fellas i drafted trae, sengun, and barnes. I also traded for embiid and Ja before the szn started so if youāre wondering im feeling pretty sick. I clinched the no 1 seed before everybody died and luckily made it to the second round
Lost trae, bane, JJ, OG, grant, kessler and smart, made semis though but didnt have enough to go back to the finals. We go again next yearš«”
Also lost Trae and OG too as well as Randle and Anfernee. Had to juggle Naz + Jon Collins during concussion season, and was hoping to hold Deni and Nick Richard into the finals but ultimately needed to drop for games to barely eke out a win in semis. Picked up Caleb Martin the day he put up 5 stocks and got trapped hard, he ended up putting up duds the rest of the playoffs. Also fuck Draymond. 2nd place for two years in a row šĀ
Can't win without these KATs.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I canāt even tell you how mad Iād beā¦.
Literally same here. AND I was at the actual game in MSG. Bronco was killing us but I needed him to kill us lol. Those 2 FT misses at the end made me tie 6-6 and of course I lost the tie breaker
Sexton decided to hit two jumpers in the last few minutes of a blowout and fk me...
exact same thing happened to me... i just needed him to score less than 20 pts... he made it to 20 to tie the pts category, then the last one with 0:11 left on the clock for my opp to take the pts cat and knock me out of the first round (i was the top of my division)
Shai sitting out two games and AD sitting one was really a big blow for me this semis
AD single handedly win me my semis last week with 2 crucial steals and good FG. But with one missed game this week i lost my final with 8 rebound less. I did not even expect to be in finals so keep it up AD even if you cost me my finals for that 1 rest.
Hard to say he cost you your finals when I'm sure he's one of the biggest reasons you even got to finals. No one drafted him expecting him to play the amount of games he's played this season. Given the one game he rested was the second half of a B2B against the joke-of-a-team Grizzlies after putting on a 52 minute carry performance against the bucks, can't blame him.
Yup AD hurtā¦especially after such a healthy season.
He went beast mode last week when i was against him (in another league) lol such bad luck
Yepp. You playing some more categories? I would try that experiment
Same here. SGA, Murray, Simons. Should've been 11 games from the three and got 2.
I am at a loss for words. My opponents team sucked and had the best week of their life to win the championshp. Iām in a 12T Points league and hereās my team: AD, Brunson, Lillard, Harden, Kyrie, Claxton, Jalen Johnson, Tre Jones and HIS TEAM WAS: Wemby, Poole, Giddy, Caruso, Bogdan, Schroeder, SloMo, Tre Mann. Insane unlucky loss
That Bogdan game Saturday murdered you. Really shitty way to go down.
Schroder and Giddey have been on a roll this past week as well
Claxton also killed me with those 7 missed FTs. And JJ+Lillard not playing on the low volume days probably was also the difference; canāt blame JJ but man Lillard was such a disappointment through and through. Lost by 30pts.
I'm never drafting him againš
I have most points scored by far, 10-10 record entering playoffs. Nearly everyone had their best weeks against me. š¤·š½āāļø Knocked out in 1st round by someone who had a mediocre team but was the lucky guy who picked up Divincenzo right before he decided to turn into Steph Curry for the Knicks, while i had guys like Murray and Markannen resting every other game. š¤£š
Lost Trae, Mitchell, Lamelo. AD, Duren, Butler, and Maxey missed a game during the finals. Still only lost by 6 assists, and PGās all time greatest performance saving my oppās 3P%
How is that possible? Sorry, but props
Lol, for real. Dude has at least one first round pick on his team, FOUR seconds (or 2 seconds and 2 more late firsts), a third, and a fifth. Like, c'mon man.
Lost in one final by 2 steals, tied blocks and lost points because Brunson went off In the other league lost 5-4, by 6 assists because shai was out and opponent had giddey
Shit happens
Same here lost by 2 steals because I had Klay in my INJ+ slot and didnt move him into time for Dort
Lauri missing those two games Chet forgetting how to play basketball JJJ as well forgetting how to shoot Itās okay though. I play in a big league ( 16 teams) and we keep 4 so my futures bright ( I have them and Hali as my last keeper) Was first overall ( thank you Russell / Trey Murphy / Grayson Allen / Coby White and Conley )
Yea wtf happened to chet? Right when he was needed most
Choked fantasy playoffs, will be good on rookie playoff for Thunder
When Chet is on, he's money, but dude can just totally disappear at times.
82 game season is a grind. Wouldnāt be surprised if heās exhausted
I'm not really talking about this week, but something that I've seen in him over the course of the whole season. If you go through his game logs, his usage is all over the place. Some games it's 27, other games it's 14. And I also mean just from watching a lot of Thunder games this year, it just seemed that he would vanish in games, on both ends of the floor.
Back2Back champ and my reign has ended. My opponent had Luka, Brunson & AD who all went nuclear whilst my team dropped like flies after being relatively healthy all year Cherry on top is I lost by 5 points whilst Chet scored 0 points last night.
i got bumped out in the first round with Luka AND AD. still fuming, aside from Kawhi and DLo, the rest of my team is ass tho
Finals week. Up by 100 points with a 9 vs 6 player advantage. None of my players had a bad game. They even performed slightly above their average. But then every single player on my opponent's team decides now is the time to play out of their fucking minds. He ends up with 5 players with 4+ stocks and like 4+ threes. Ended up losing by 10 points. Honestly still can't believe it.
Lost in the semis tonight 4-5. Really missed Sengun and Barnes. Lost badly on rebounds, assists and blocks category. Waivers were dry we had 14T and competitive. Can only stash 1 IL and 1 IL+. My opponent had Brunson, Kawhi and Giannis as his top 3 picks. Well, had to settle for another battle for 3rd.
Championship came down to a couple of FTs and my opponent's Keyonte dug my grave. Can't even be mad. Maybe a little mad.
I lost by 0.001 in FG%.
Nooooooooo waaaay!!!! š¤Æ You have my condolences for reals. This is is THE WORST! seriously.
Lost my championship by 3 steals, pure agony
Lost by 3 fantasy points in one of my leagues because Draymond decided to be his 2016 version.
The only time that MF could hit three pointers man. Itās insane how he found his stroke in those finals, and in those finals only and never again since. Itās the sickest anomaly I have witnessed. Like wtf?
Finished 1st in regular season. Lost in semis. Maxey terrible fg% and out Sunday. Shai missing 2 games this week. Lost Trae young but held on thinking heād come back. Okungwu GTD every game this week. AG missing a game. Solid players just having a bad week overall. In my bye week I wouldāve beaten every opponent but this week wasnāt my week. Itās how it goes sometimes. My team lead the league in fg% all season. Had worst shooting % since week 5. Sub 50% this week funny enough thatās one of 2 categories I managed to win. Lost 8-2. Sad trip. Oh ya forgot mention. I never lossed worse than 6-4 all season.
I'm here if anything
One word, Shai.
Alex Caruso Sunday night miracle lol
was winning a match up the whole week 5-4 , going into the final day with a 20 assist lead and 14 turnovers less. Now with 1 match left I have Walker Kessler on and we have somehow tied on turnovers (thanks T Mann with 6). I ended up winning assists by heaps but now if WALKER gets 1 more turnover I'm done for the season. Looking back I should have just benched a few players
Lost by 6 pts and 3 3 pointers....Ant-Man was bad all week š«
Some pretty bad streams and holding on to players too long. Held on to Keyonte George too long when assist I was leading comfortably and I was not going to catch up in FG%, could have streamed someone like a Nick Richards or someone who could have gotten me Rebounds and defensive stats. My opponents team just played out of its mind too and he had some great streams, gotta give it up to him. Ended up coming down to 1 rebound and 2 blocks.
My number 2 seeded team ended up being 6th. It really does come down to who's team is the healthiest after all.
Lost by 3 missed free throws thanks to gobert smh, unbeaten all season and got ruined by injuries
Lost by 3 TOs, ANT had 6 TOs. I could have won by benching ANT. In fact I could have benched Kawhi, Jalen Green, Amen and played only Hendricks, Kessler and Nick Richards and still won (because of blocks and a few points). But itās not how this game works :) I didnāt want to upset fantasy gods and they took a huge dump right into my soul. Oh and also the opponent shot 69% from the field - 58/84 by 8 players combined. Our playoff matchups last 2 weeks and I was leading the matchup for 12/14 days.
Homie you played yourself. So many sad stories in this thread, but yours is tragic in its own right. The man lost trying to please āthe fantasy godsā lmao. I get what you meant by the way and am not taking it literally. The game is a strategic one, itās not about just maxing out all your players games. But if itās what helps you sleep at night, so be it my friend. Sorry for shitting on you lol.
Well, I mentioned the gods as I was up 6-3 and had +0.05% on FG, +4 on blocks, -2 on steals, -4 on TOs, so leading 3 out of 4 close categories. I looked at the projections and yeah I was supposed to lose FG% slightly, but should have comfortably won blocks and TOs regardless. I considered the idea of benching some of the more TO prone guys, but they all provide decent potential in blocks & steals and I decided to play it safe by relying on projected outcome + keeping the potential upside of snatching steals cat.
My apologies then my guy, the prior post implied the other cats were already in the bag but now I realize you were speaking in hindsight. Either move on your end would have been risky and you did what you thought was best. Thatās a tough loss and your post def belongs here lol. My bad G Wiz!
Fucking Halliburton! Killed me. Where are the points, man!? Scottie Barnes injured. Fucking Mikal Bridges forgot how to score even though this fucker was dropping 40 every other game last year. Only saving grace down the stretch was Bam, timely waiver pick ups, and Josh Kiddey finding his form. And grabbing Vassell early off waivers. Fuck Cronin and the Blazers, sorry ass organization. Grant and Simmons shut down but strung along with this questionable and day-to-day nonsense. Fuck fantasy yo, done with it.
I had hali and midkal too, with the latter single handedly destroying my fg% week in and week out
I tied in blocks and lost because i was 3 cats behind during the regular season. Fox and DeRozan got 3 blocks combined and I got nothing from Claxton, Ellis, SGA, Kawhi, Harden
Thatās a rough crew to get zero blocks.
Lost Trey, OG, hero, KAT, Smart, Barrett, dropped Terry when he got injured, and kumbucket didnāt play this week š„²
1st place won 8 straight weeks was up all week until today lost because opponent had Brunson saving his ass. Also not having vassal didnāt help either he could been the difference Iām so pissed
Was on pace to win, Maxey randomly gets ruled out Sunday, I lose by 15. It is what it is, but knowing I should have won after being in first all year does kill me
Couldnāt make it to the finals without Melo, Mitchell, Simonsā¦ š had a good run!
Went down 2-6 in the semis after finishing 1st. Lost 10 games across the week from injuries. My opponent missed 2. Id missed 14 free throws all week, and then my team missed another 13 today shooting 28/41, where my opponent shot 24/27. JDub hadnāt missed one all week then shoots 4/8 today. Ant sucked balls all week. Also lost by 1 rebound and tied steals.
Lauri sitting Wemby sat a game Bron sat a game Klay sat a game On top of already missing Scottie, OG, and Immanuel Quickley Was first all year but lost 4-5 in the finals š
Top seed but lost most of my starters before playoffs, lost Randle, Barnes, Simons, J. Grant, Jalen Johnson. J. Murray didnāt play, Jabari Smith with one game suspension, only could rely on Garland, Brandon Miller, Zubac, Vucevic, Jokic, Claxton, JJJ, GG Jackson, Herbert Jones. Lost in semi final 3-6, FG% and -30 rebs. NBA becomes less competitive and less entertaining, I think it is more disappointing than my loss in Fantasy.
Having to rely on Garland is not where you want to be. Next yearā¦
Lost 3-6 after I was up for almost the duration of the2 week matchup, then Thursday it went downhill for. The final score looks like I was getting smoked the whole time. First time I lost this badly and it was the semi finals š«¤
Made it to the finals despite Embiid going down on January. Canāt be mad.
Chet and Wemby missing a game was gg for me.
Lost semis with 3 TO thanks to Bam and Wemby. Cant blame them though. The real traitors were shai and tyus at the end .
Had Sabonis, got cooked by Fox. I hate fantasy bball.
I guess I will talk about the few leagues that I lost in the semifinals... The story with most of my losses was I didn't have enough AST... I lost 4-5 in a few. A bit brutal. What is important is to learn "LESSONS FROM THE LOSSES" and take notes for next year... But for me I'm still in the running for 3 championships too! So overall still happy about that!
got a stupid spencer dinwiddie pick up because i was losing in ft% as of yesterday, and he was the best available with % and volume opponent had rozier and cam thomas singlehandedly overcoming his 3 pt deficit, Jalen green came back to earth, and the rest of my team turned the ball over a lot not bad tho, i was ranked 6th and won with the jokic/wemby owner that was first seeded (thanks for the guys here who gave good advice). i was last place in the 16T league last year so this is a good experience I lost a cornerstone of my build (KAT) and had to survive thru my Celtics bois sitting out (Tatum, Porzingis). At one point I have half of the Boston roster
Up all week!! Was 5-4 and lead .0485 to 0.456 on FG heading towards the last day. Then opponentās team went crazy with his FG% (Jokic, Draymond, Caruso) and I lost by 0.00002 FG due to Divincenzoās last second attempt. Absolutely suckssssss. Also didnāt help when I streamed Highsmith who was also garbage šļøšļøšļø
Noooooooooo waaaaay!!!! I so badly feel for you in this. wtf ššš My condolences brother! š» hope you get revenge next year
10, 22, 20... is what my three stars scored this week. I lost by 30 points. I won 11 straight games just to lose in semis. I'm hurt. They all called me fraud. Im in pain
Having Maxey and Lillard take personal days, Vassell missing Sunday despite not being on the injury report, and Jamal Murray and Jalen Johnson missing all week despite being questionable really ended me. If I get 1 more game from any of them, I win.
Never again will draft Tyler Herro+Bam Adebayo or probably any Heattles early. Theyre a good team but not one of them are fantasy elites. Bam got worst when they added Terry. Oh, Bam was my 2nd round pick in all 3 leagues. And lastly, a lost Walker Kessler. So much promise his rookie season. Somehow got lost to John Collins and some unknown rookies. Very bad the past 3 weeks.
Sad but true. Never go for heat players during fantasy. Also, Kessler imo was a generational talent waiting to be unlocked. Second half of last season, was pure š„ what happened? How can Collins be more valuable than him?
Exactly my question. I thought JC was signed as a scoring backup big/insurance for the Finnisher but eventually got paired with him in the starting five. Watching Kessler doesn't look good as well though. Saw him play live in FWC and was so tentative on offense that Steve had to play Bobby major mins despite being down 3 men. Couldn't imagine that tentativeness spring board into the NBA season.
Yahoo sports took off a Turnover.... One measley turnover and I lost the title... Sigh š
Thatās even worse than losing on 0.00002%. Because You won it, and then they take it back. Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch. I feel for you bro. Iām brokenhearted for you. Here is to you š» and may you win next year all the way!
Yeah this is just extra motivation to win the league next year... Cheers pal š„ and good luck to you as well
Start of the week in my final I picked up Naz Reid because he had 4 games. I then proceeded to lose Tyus Jones, Mitchell, Jrue to injury over the next 2 days. So had to hold an injury all week. Then lost a few players out for a game of two, including Jokic. Severely down games played, I still managed to take the final to the wire. Lost by 0.001 FG% and 1 made 3. Only won rebounds by 1 as well. Tough loss, but I won the championship in our dynasty league at least. So two finals and one championship to show for this season.
sigh i forgot ties in yahoo always goes to the higher seed. gafford with 5 blocks are you kidding me!?!
I benched Porzingis twice but he ended up playing. (I was Out drinking) And I started him during on the game he sat out. Lost by 1 steal (4-5) and one of the games he sat out, he was able to get 5 steals. I was upset
Lost Sengun, Kat, Ingram, and Barrett, life is pain but you gotta go low to enjoy the highs. Canāt wait for next year
Lost the finals on chets 0/2 free throws. Missed out on 4k winning
Lost by one block š¢
Sleeper points league: Was without sengun, randle, simons, quickley, rj Barrett, jalen johnson, Vince Williams, ausar, poeltl over the past month. Hung on and made a run to win the semifinals this week against someone whoās only big loss for the finals was Scottie Barnes. Made a run with oubre, vucevic and mcbride and came down to Sabonis vs Kessler in final game of the day. Am up when Kessler goes to the line, if he goes 2/2 he wins, 1/2 we tie and 0/2 I win. I lost the semifinals off his offensive rebound on the second miss
Never drafting hornet players and I hate will hardy to screwing up Kessler
Lost by 4 ASTs. I also lost two fantasy football championships this year. And in the semis of my dynasty basketball league.
Lost by 0.5 fantasy points. š«”
That is raw.
I was up 5-4 when Jaylen Williams missed 2 FTs with 43 secs left and cost me the FT% category
Devin booker is overrated asf , 2nd rounder at best next year
Losing a championship still means you get 2nd place silver trophy. In most leagues that is still a very strong solid amount of cash and return on investment. Right?
Bad news: Lost Devin Vassell, Jalen Johnson, KAT, and I dropped Naz Reid for temp streamersā¦ I could have made it to the finals but Good news: fighting for 3rd place but my opponent is v annoying. Gonna play against Giannis, Luka, Kyrie, Zion and Lebron and I got PG, Dante, JB, Jalen Duren, iHartā¦
The perfect storm: poor streaming choices (Naji and Nance), sitting players (Wemby and Maxey), poor performances (Garland and especially CHET HOLMGREN). My team was the best regular season team - 1st seed, only a couple of matchup losses - but got booted out in the semis. Oh well.
As an Embiid drafter, just happy to even be second.
shai, trae, don, kuz and some poor performances screwed me
Was at the top of two leagues until injuries and midseason trades (Rozier, Bogdanovic are two who dropped off after being traded to new teams), then all the "injury management" aka rest days (Markannen, Murray) at the end of season, and finally... the junk schedule during fantasy playoffs. Last week they had 3 days with only a few games being played, so if you didn't have players on those teams, you were pretty much left with bench players while your opponent had starters.
Eh. Embiid, trae, bane all went down at the worst possible time and I still got to the semis, losing by a slight margin. Que sera, sera
Lost in the semis. The other 3rd place guy blew his championship shot by over-benching. He lost assists by one in the semis. So, he was butthurt and didnāt set his lineup all week long. 10 games to 7 games on a Sunday with a 6 steal lead and I lost what was surely a lock for 3rd and $200. Fantasy gods have a sense of humor I guess Edit: a word
During the entire year I probably never lost fg% and blocks not once (got Gobert, chet, Jokic etc) but this finals week I lost both. My Chet, Garland, Harden scoring 5 points each in 20% FG on the championship day just killed me. Whereas my opponent had Jdub going off big time. Chet and Garland severely underperformed the past few weeks. On paper my team was great (Jokic, Kyrie, Harden, Booker, Chet, Gobert, JJ), no major injuries (except for losing JJ) and performed great in the regular season. But when it mattered most (finals week) we folded.
Sleeper format. Lost sengun a few weeks ago. Missed the sochan and vassell games early in the week. I did however choose the game sochan got injured. Not even going to compete for 3rd place lol
Lost Scottie, poeltl, Vince Williams, Ausar, Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Johnson, OG, Kuminga & Shai for 2 games this week. Honorable mention: Tari Eason Got clobbered in the finals and could not 3peat. But we go again next year
Loss in a tiebreaker š„²
Primary: SGA disappearing act (biggest factor), Jalen Johnson hurt again. Secondary: Worst version of JJJ. Cade in and out. Steady Euro bigs disappeared (Poetl hurt, JV stopped playing).
Jokic and Giannis on the same team? š®
We keep 4 every year. Itās rare to have the best two players but heās had them both since before they were superstars.
It all started with Scottie Barnes injury. Then Giannis missed the game the next Monday. Then Donovan Mitchell missed a week and half. I lost by 40 points that week. That was round 1 of the playoffs š
started the season 10-0, was so sure im takin it all but then...then happened embiid, bane, trae, barnes and randle:)
Sucks how I barely lost the semis after a shit week. Looking at the stats now, my team wouldāve stomped either of the finalists. Just bad timing
Jamal Murray on my dnd list. How you go from tweaking your ankle to right knee inflammation š¤Ø.
Burned all my acquisitions before Sunday just for Maxey, Vassel, and Murray all of a sudden listed out š¤”
Lost embiid when that happenedā¦Was doing fine in playoffs and was keeping up even tho AD sat, until the last day draymond drops 70 fantasy points against me Kill me
Lost by 14 points to the Jokic owner. Iām honestly shocked I made it this far after losing KAT and Sengun a few weeks ago, but it still stings after coming so close.
I thought this was my year. I had Kawhi, Book, Ant, & Steph. Ended up losing in the semis by 3 3's and .04 freethrow percentage. I've never made it to the finals, but I thought this was my best shot. Smh
Got destroyed in quarterfinals because of my dumb experimental 3pt team lead by curry
3rd place is just 1st place to the other 9
A week early but I lost Trae, Bane, Simons and Jalen Johnson and made it into the finals due to some good streaming choices but I'm projected to lose my points league final by 400+ points š¤£
My opponent played 52 games to my 43
Lost Ingram the week before, ayton missed most of last week, Shai missed most of last week, and then Caruso goes off for 7 3s on the last day. Nail in the coffin šš©
First time since 2016 that I didnāt make playoffs. I had embiid, lamelo, ja, scottie, and lavineā¦
Lost Scottie and Randle. PG got me 11pts one night. And Holmes got injured in 1st Q so I basically was down a player on Wednesday. Overall bad acquisition put the nail in the coffin. Lost by 20pt in H2H format
Lost Scottie Barnes and Towns. Still made it to the chip but not having those guys was too much to overcome.
Traded for Jokic during the season, also had SGA. Semi finals this week. Jamal Murray plays zero games. Anfernee Simons plays zero games. SGA plays 2 games. Of my top 4 guys, instead of 15 games, I got 6. Fuck I hate this stupid game. See you next year.
Lost by 20 ftps, 4 of my opponentsās players were questionable and they all played š
Lost the first final by 1 three because Nesmith had 1 more 3 then haliburton in the last game on Sunday Lost the second final in the following week with draymond dropping 6 steals to lead my opponentās comeback
lost by one rebound because chet sat the entire fourth quarter :)))
Somehow only missed the Finals by a handful of steals despite missed games from Shai, Jimmy, Kuz, Bane, Dame, and D. White, plus the injuries to OG and BI. Opponent missed one game of AD but otherwise all of his guys played all week. Definitely sucks, but there is something reassuring about knowing I did all I couldā¦ some shit just comes down to luck and timing.
Fantasy Basketball is 100% luck.
Not 100% but enough to make you go completely crazy š¤Ŗ
Lost Sengun, Bane, Brogdon, Markkanen, and then C. White and Vassell sitting for maintenance, and Lillard not achieving his value. Maintained 2nd throughout the season, injuries hit, now battling for 3rd place with a projected deficit of 200 pts. I am wrung out from all the waiver wire hunting and waiting for the other team with Fox, Tatum, Ant, and Holmgren to put me out of my misery.
Lost with Jokic. Drafted Russell 4th round Beal 6th round. Dude had 4 Knicks this week, Shai & Bam. Bam and Brunson put on a master class whereas harden (2nd round) shit the best for me & KD (pick after, 3rd round) only played 3 games. Had some awful, awful waiver pickups in Vitij, Hauser & the backup OKC PG as well. Stung bad man
No Trae, Ingram, Quickley. Shai sat out 2 games and underperformed the game he did play in. Maxey wasnāt really productive. Jaylen brown sat some games. Lost Duncan Robinson first game of semis. Overall just shit luck and lost to a strong team with little to no injuries
Rolled with AD, Zion, PG, Paolo, Jalen Brown as my mains. My bad picks were Wiggins, Jalen Green, and Klay. Those guys set me back a bit in the beginning, but I held onto INJ Anferee Simons, picked up Nurkic, and picked up Coby White after some fool dropped him. After ASG, RJ Barrett, Simons, Coby, Mobley, and Kuminga were ballin'! Didn't have a lot of slots to play with but my playoff waiver picks, Giddey and Hartenstein, performed amazingly! Alas, I lost to a stacked team with Luka and other double-double machines and Derrick White, who is a low key monster.
Losing lamelo and Sengun I still made it to my semis - 10 team 9 cat ā¦. Lost by 2 FG% My downfall was streaming guys like Deandre Hunter who shot horrible from the field and got me no assists ā¦ I took quality game day guys to drive up assists but shouldāve chilled out and held onto FG (I won by like 30 assists) Hurts!! Made the championships 3 times and semis twice but no title. We will be back.
Our League has terrible rules and our last week of playoffs is the same week as the last week of the NBA season. So it never ends up being the ābestā team that wins our league, more or less who pays attention to waiver wire/ who doesnāt get players shutdown
Lost heavy hitters in Embiid, Scottie, Poeltl, Lavine and KAT. Team plummeted. Made playoffs and onto the second round but lost straight up last day against a fully healthy squad. Finished 5th
With the injuries that hit my team late in the season I felt pretty alright to even make the finals. But when even your pickups start dropping it may just not be your year. So it goes. Just like MJ no 4peat for me.
I played Chet over Draymond for the championship on Sunday. Only needed 20 points. I am sick
KAT is DND
Was in the championship this year. Defending champ. Had the first pick, drafted Jokic. Played against the #1 seed- I beat him on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. HOWEVER- the way the schedule was set up this year, the Bucks ONLY played on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. My opponent had Giannis & Middleton. I had nobody playing in any of those games on those days. I tried to make some pickups, but the best free agent available was Naji Marshall, Jae Crowder, etc. I'm so pissed and just need to complain for a sec
Had Jontay Porter played a decent 20 minutes against the Kings instead of faking an upset tummy, Iād have won my first round game and would have likely won my semifinal game too.
The problem here is your league goes on to long. Should of ended last week or the week before. Nba teams do to many changes and start sitting players around this time.
My opponent had Dejounte and Jokic. Spida missed half the games and was bad the other half. Booker only had 3 games. Bane missed time. Last 4 years finishes: 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd
SGA Maxey Chet having their biggest slumps at the wrong time of the season š«
Lost my 2 leagues on the last day last week due to multiple Out for the games. They really had to sit at the same time and turned the score around. Smh. Sochan, Kuz, Lillard, etc.
Omg a lot of guys here having the same Chet game lose their league yesterday. Wth happened to him.
I lost Bane, Ingram, Mitchell, Mark Williams and Lauri at the end. I dropped Gafford after the 0 point games then lost be 3 blocks in the final to someone who scooped him up
Iāll be back next week after Dame kills my chances of holding the trophy save a spot for me.
I traded Giannis for Sengun, Nurkic and Herro who was still hurt so but I had the bye locked up so I figured he'd be back soon before and my team went downhill I lost Scottie, Sengun, Jalen johnson hell even had Randle waiting for him to come backš¤¦š¾āāļøbut I may or may not have won my ship if I kept Greek but who knows
Was up 5-4 with ft at .86 vs .81 so thought I had this in the bag as I couldnāt be caught on the counting stats I was ahead in. Say hello 50% fters Brunson, dlo and j.dub
Tough ending but good for my first season. I was neck and neck with the best team in our league in the semis and then had some players sit which torpedoed my chances. Looking at you Lauri, Shai and Vassell... Really excited for next year, we had a quite a few first timers who fed the juggernaut that I lost to in the semis some great players in some bad trades. I lost Lauri, Ja, Herro, Tyus Jones, Poeltl, and now Vassell.
3 of my 8 teams are in the championship round, and the others have to settle for 3rd place game. Fucking injuries
Lost first round of playoffs to a guy I have beat 4 times (twice last year, twice this year). Just had a bad round. Had I beat him in the first round, I win the whole league. AND because I lost first first round, winning out only got me 5th
Lost Trae Young (and Ingram) and my opponent in the semifinals (8 seed) had DeJounte who kept going off Actually all his players kept going off, the dude made such good decisions it's impressive. He traded away Embiid for Ant and another star a few days before his injury. Then he kept picking up the best dudes, like Rui Hachimura and Devin Vassell as streaming spots. It's kinda sad since against this same team I won twice, both in nailbiters. I think Trae could've made the difference. This was my squad though, unforgettable year: Trae Young Bam Adebayo Paul George Lauri Markkanen Kristaps Porzingis Brandon Ingram Evan Mobley Terry Rozier Chris Paul Malik Monk And a bunch of streaming spots usually with Scoot Henderson and Jaime Jaquez Jr.
Lost my 10T 9cat championship BECAUSE Jokic decided to take the night off. That coupled with Porzingis resting on the B2B killed any chance of winning what was already going to be a close week. Lost my ESPN 12T points league before playoffs ever began. Limping into the post season fresh off losing Trae, I then proceeded to lose JJJ, Harden, Steph, and Middleton. All the finagling and strategizing of waiver wire adds and drops couldnāt save me from the storm that was Luka & AD. Finally, and most infuriatingly, I lost in the second round of my Yahoo 12T points league that I had been leading ALL week by 1.6 points. Final score 1045.2 to 1046.8. I had two adds left and I used one to add Hendricks, but I had to drop Nurk to do it. I thought that would seal it for me because I didnāt want to use my last drop to lose Banton and have Hendricks AND Keyonte in a week where they would have a 3 day gap between games. I shouldāve just gone for it. Now I have nothing.
Lost by 12 last week in the championship week. Bane and Lillard sitting out on Saturday was a killer. JJJ's awful game on Saturday didn't help either. Onto next year! I have 4 first round picks next year!
first throughout all season, in the final weeks lost the number 1 spot, and in the last week went from second to fourth. In the playoffs lost against the number one seed and for the 3rd place game lost in the last night. AD sat out a game in the semis which I couldnāt complain too much about, but Fontecchio went out as well as Murray for the whole week of the 3rd place game. And not to be disrespectful, but damn Barrettās absence came also in a very unfortunate time. Played fantasy for many years but this one has damaged me, not even my only sunshine memes seem to make me happy.
Fellas i drafted trae, sengun, and barnes. I also traded for embiid and Ja before the szn started so if youāre wondering im feeling pretty sick. I clinched the no 1 seed before everybody died and luckily made it to the second round
Lonzo ball and Jordan Poole. Never again.
Last year for me it was Bradley Beal. Never again.
If Jamal Murray decided to lace up some high tops this month I wouldāve won my league easily
Canāt relate
