Cup is not important to me this season. Of course I wouldn't mind going forward but that is not my main point of interest.

Looks like the finals may be played a little bit early - lucky for me, I play at home. This luck has to run out at some point.

It was a battle for 3rd up to this point. Now it's for 2nd.

Great (but overly violent) game (12702711). If not for key injuries to bronic and fabiano, sculpins would have won.

/deep breath

You've got to be kidding me.

Those two were the two huge matchups for me, too. Fabiano vs. the kids, and Bronic's scoring game matched up with a center at SF. I can't believe I played the second half that close with both of them out for the whole thing.

Bronic is gone for 3 weeks now, and a decent reserve (Carrasquel) for one. Luckily Fabiano escaped.

What a freakin' disaster.

P.S. This was deju va all over again (except worse): (53959.8) (8126349)

Congratulations to the other three teams in the Final Four - especially the Thoroughbreds who have taken out two Naismith teams.

And hard times for the Sculpins continues with another big injury ...

Congrats to all the team that made the Final Four, I'm still a little peeved about that loss. Flow and rebound killed me I guess.

Should make some nice matches.

BTW, congrats on the GM!
