Maybe he decided to tank for fifth ?

I guess, but the financial changes make that not so appealing any more. it's either save 50% payroll (350-400k?) vs a minimum of a half a PO game income (~300k). So if you're sure to lose the 1st round game, you'd save a little (maybe 100k?) by finishing 5th. but being in the POs give you at least some chance at another 300k in round two, plus the attendance benefits next season for having a good season.

And then sells 2 of his better players? He now has 6 actual guys, and one of them is injured. That's an easy PON, sort of forces everyone to have to PON round 1 now just to match enthusiasm.

No lineup can stop the Ginger Giant!


Holy $#!t...Rockets put up 188!

knocking l&p out of the playoffs... odd decision there.


Yeah love to understand the rationale there.

Isn't the rationale that he only pays half as much wages? With the players sold it isn't that much money. Obv felt wasn't going to win 1st round of POs.

Well, L&P didn't exactly put in much effort to win that game either....a game he might have needed to make the playoffs.

So are the first playoff games on Tuesday?

Both Rocket Science and myself (Bruins) have key players injured too. Myself am currently at ~$690k healthy salary and Science is at ~$440 healthy salary.

LMA back in the finals? But against who?

Id guess silverbacks, but would be tempted to put some money on Airballers with a road upset in the semifinal.

Salaries are really close for each of those match-ups. I'm hoping both go 3 games. Drama and intrigue!
