Oh well, if we meet in playoffs we can have a rematch :)

Sounds good. I'm putting my odds at 50-1.

Amazing, except for RB/JR, that is nearly the identical build of Zhizhi (I can't add any RB/JR due to his potential). I wish I had five or six more players just like him. Let me guess, you already have five or six players just like him (or better)?

Nah I only have 4 guys like that, and maybe I'll buy one more if I think that's the best long-term choice. The rest of the roster are specialists, especially my current big men are not special at all.

That Valhalla is a bad team is beyond dispute -- since going bot, they have lost every game but one by more than 100 points, and in that game Jr. Jazz did not benefit from V.'s very low GS ratings.

But the teams that have played Valhalla, including me, have missed a chance to achieve lasting greatness: setting the league's individual scoring record, which is now 80 points in a game.

We are down to two teams: Tucumcari and the Visionaries. Tucumcari has a player on the TL who i think could set the record. i could see Patient or Outside Isolation as producing great results.

For the Visionaries, helpless victims of a season gone terribly wrong, they could take out all their frustration on Valhalla. Because we know Choluj's skill set, letting him loose could produce the points, or someone else could take the honors.

for myself, my best pure scorer was injured the week we played Valhalla -- but i did consider it.

That would be a great way for Capra to end his career with the Whalers. Probably not likely to happen since I'm coming off a CT two games ago and Capra has become very foul-prone in his old age and might not make it through 48 minutes, but I'll give it a try.

last game of the regular season -- the only games seeing any consequence are the Mashers and Ron Swanson along with Rdkin at the Jazz. If Swanson loses and Rdkin wins, then Rdkin will have make the playoffs and face UK. But the Flash Mashers finally have that big fellow in the lineup, who looks to be a terror (he was getting game ratings in the mid-teens with poor GS).

ATL hosts UK, as two of the better teams in the Big 8 faceoff, but i doubt they will be giving away any secrets.

in the Great 8, will the Visionaries win by 125? how cruel is it that one of the starters for Valhalla is out -- sort of balancing the injury for Visionaries, i suppose.

otherwise, thanks to PD, the final positions are pretty much set for the playoffs and relegation.

looking ahead, i don't see anyone standing in the way of the Visionaries reaching the finals; but notice ATL has not lost since they left the Cup run and the Flash Mashers have the second highest payroll in the league. UK has HCA and a pretty good team, and they are probably favored, but Big 8 finalist is not as clear to me as it is in the Great 8.

good luck to one and all.

Didn't want to risk injury vs. Valhalla so he got off "easy". Setting the league scoring record is hard, my meh SG playing PG stole all the shots from Lincoln (who is a beast but training is at C on the easy weeks).

Still trying to swap out one big man for the playoffs but time is running out and I don't want to be awake at 4am!

Good luck everyone

it's exactly that lack of dedication that will keep you from achieving your dreams . . .

actually, Lincoln did not get the message -- he had 14 assists (and a triple-double).

i do like the way Ilmar held his man to 24 points. i think that atrocious OD is about to pop!

I haven't been around to do much so the fact that I had to skimp on my SF and failed to get a backup guard in time coupled with my failure to use TIE in two recent games has sort of crushed my hopes of a miracle playoff run

I am surprised by the lack of purchases at seasons end. I thought for sure you and Kentucky Wildcats would have tried to challenge Visionaries. I guess everyone has resigned to the fact that Visionaries will promote this season, takes some of the fun out of the playoffs. Maybe the relegation series will be competitive.
