Nah, I'm not like Joe

Congrats on the win! I hoped you were a bit more ambitious and played PON + predictions, but you did not. The difference is simple: you are happy with reaching the final conference with enthusiasm around 5 and I was not happy to reach the conference final with less than 9 high and this is why I played PON despite the injury.

Not a very tough loss for me, because when I saw the injury I knew the season was gonna be over sooner or later. This is what happens when you play within the limit always. It's all or nothing!

DLR becomes now the favourite for the title. Easy conference final and tougher league final, but with HCA advantage. I'm happy for him as he's one of the best managers in the world (and his Utopian team is one of the best in the world as well) and if he wins the title he will be confirmed as one of the best Utopian teams ever (3 Heavens).

For me, it's time to relax for a second and put some perspective on what I did. 17 Utopian titles plus 1 B3 and another B3 final is something to be proud of and it has been really tough to achieve. The level gets higher every season and the quality of managers here is brutal.

Next season will be my last before selling the whole team and taking some holidays. Again, I'll try and fight for the three titles, expecting to be a little bit less unfortunate than these two seasons!!

BTW: i won the cup called "stupiest mamager of the league" by winning the last game and "gaining" draft position 3 instead of 2.
Well done

I do believe both of your losses would've been averted if not for the exhaustion kicking in, 4 players were dying in B3 and 3 in league playoffs, brutal implementation and showcase of its capabilities to nullify world class players.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

100% agree mate. Exhaustion has changed the rules. With a 6-man roster, you're now dead in the 4th quarter.

After exhaustion kicks in a couple of starters in the 4th quarter, you can easily lose an advantage of 10-15 points in a few minutes.

Since the difference between playing or not the conference final is around 280-300k and that winning the conference finale away against DLR was almost impossible for Boston Hornets everybody in the world (except you because you don't care about 300k) would have played like LA-Zvi.

I don't think everyone in the world is happy with just reaching the conference finals. If I was in his position with his team (not with mine), given that his players are old, I'd take advantage of Caneva's injury and play PON to have more chances in the finals (perhaps from a 1% to a 10%, whatever). However, being in the same spot, if he had a younger team that could be in a better position to win Heaven in the future, I'd probably opt for POD in order to secure the final.

None of the options is better or worse, it's a matter of whether getting to the conference finals at the prime of your project is enough for you or not. If it is, get there at any cost and with no enth. If it is not and you prefer taking the risk of being eliminated in return for being more aggressive against me, play PON.

Sorry, you are way more wrong! You gave him 0 chances. I said 1% in case he played POD against me and 10% if PON

Mother of God, one of the most incredible wins I've seen here. There was a huge difference in rosters, enth + HCA. But there's nothing that a good Inside Isolation (and a double GDP) cannot solve

Congrats to Zvi on his amazing POff run!
