I won points league by 0.5. Couldn't believe it.
Thought I had a done deal loss because Draymond got injured at 12pts as my final player, and then Austin Reaves shat the bed for my opponent and scored 11.
Picked AD in the first round, Wemby in the second. Between AD being injury prone, and Wemby being a rookie they both got underestimated. Total run was 15-6, beating the favourite who was 19-2
Knocked out the 1st, 2nd and 4th teams on my way to the chip, including the Jokic owner and repeat champion in the finals.
Picked Chet 44th overall and named my team ChetGPT.
Lost Ja and Mark Williams but otherwise stayed relatively healthy. I made more moves than the top two teams combined - championships are won on the wire!
Hali, Booker, Chet, Quickley, J Brown, Claxton and Hart were draftees that delivered. And had some league winners off the wire with a trio of knicks - Divicenzo, Hartenstein, and McBride.
Shout out to the one game I got out of Chimezi Metu too lolol.
Congrats champs!!!
In my league someone made their team name WEMBY and I snaked him before in the draft, so I made my team The Real WEMBY, then DECLINED a week 3 trade of Halliburton AND Ja for Wemby & Vassel because I wanted him no matter what. That petty decline won me the league
Just delivered a 3-peat in my league. Can't believe it.
AD, Sabonis, Fox were my top guys. Got a healthy year from Zion, miraculously. Picked up the Metu-verse at the start of finals week...crazy.
Survived a gauntlet of “injuries” the last 3 weeks. 0 games from Shai, 1 from JDub, and 2 from Spida this week. Stream stream stream. Don’t be afraid to drop guys who got you to the ship when it matters most. And shout out to Metu, GTJ, and Tyrese MF’in Maxey!!
Beat 6th,2nd and 1st seed to win the chip. Won both my semi finals and finals due to 1 block being the decider.
Best players were curry,booker and getting LeBron at pick 38. Getting kuminga as a FA and drafting oubre for my last pick were perfect.
Didn't have any bad players but had Mark Williams and beal who were injured quite a lot. Ayton early on was sorta trash but he did turn up during the last few months.
Team that drafted wemby had embi, lavine and ja so he was out of playoffs or else he woulda been a problem.
I thought my team were just Shai merchants but managed to win with no other stars just a bunch of top 50 players:
* JJJ (drafted 20 overall)
* Bam (29)
* VanVleet (44)
* Vucevic (53)
* McCollum (92)
* Keegan (101)
* Bogdan (waivers)
* DDV (waivers)
I overdrafted JJJ and Bam but FVV, CJ, and Keegan were steals. Bogdan and DDV were amazing waiver pickups. I’m going to miss this underrated team!
Picked up Jordan Poole and Josh giddey and they won me the league. I kinda hate it lol
Shout out to Tyus Jones off the waiver tho, singlehandedly turned my punt fg/assist team to just punting fg
Fuck yes!!
Top 5 players:
KD (9th overall)
Dejounte Murray (19th overall)
Jarret Allen (67th overall)
Miles Bridges (91st overall)
JJJ (43 overall)
Special thanks to: Devin Vassell buddy was great all year
12 team H2H points league: 12-8 (7 game streak coming into playoffs) no first round bye
CONGRATS CHAMPS!!!! Damn near dropped Giddey a million times during season, but that mf was clutch as hell for me down the stretch. Also shoutout my unlikely waiver wire heroes Brandon Miller, IQ, Dosunmu, and motherfuckin Deni Avdija. Cheers to all you champs, and also anyone who’s celebrating back to back chips 🍾😤
I feel like 10yrs of dominance is guaranteed. We can only keep 1 player per team and i used to have Luka so im gonna drop him now.
We also have a fun draft bec we based it on last season standings. I literally tank last season to have the chance to pick Wemby haha
10 year anniversary of my league and I finally broke through with my first championship! Jokic carried me all year but waiver gems like Jalen Johnson were huge for me all year too
In spite of money fantasy leagues being banned in Ontario, playing the free leagues gave me that serotonin boost I needed. I couldnt have done it without the Hachimura, Ivey, Scoot stream at the end
won on the last day. naz reid and rui hachimura went off. wemby was definitely my mvp all year. my team was super deep though. devin booker, steph curry, chet, demar derozan, jaylen brown, myles turner, jimmy butler, nikola vucevic, tyler herro, klay thompson.
JOSH HART also a monster pickup for me. miles bridges was there as well as a stud but traded late in the season for vucevic.
was the number one seed. points league.
Pick 9 - Sabonis
Pick 16 - Mikal Bridges (🥹😂)
Pick 33 - Dejounte
Pick 40 - Vooch
Pick 57 - Clax
Pick 64 - Zion
Pick 81 - Jabari smith
The rest - trash
Traded dejounte for kawhi in November
Also picked up Miles bridges right after it was announced he would feature for charlotte and court was not gonna hurt him
Luckily my opponent in finals lost Scottie Barnes and Julius Randle and only had 3 games from booker, halli, and wemby in finals week
3 peat for me!!
Was 6th (bottom seed) out of 6 in the playoffs for the second season in a row, running a triple punt (PTS, 3s and FT) centered around Jokic.
Drafted Kawhi, Sengun, JDub, Bridges, Caruso, Draymond and Gafford for cheap. Traded Sengun for Harden a week before Sengun went down. Picked up Amen, Micic and Avdija who all went off during the playoffs.
Won all 3 playoff matchups 5-4 and went B2B. 🙏
We out here champs! Lost Scottie, Sengun and Ingram all heading into playoffs. Shout out LBJ and KD for staying healthy and carrying me all season. Love them
Just repeated as champ in my points league.
Luka was my captain I spent like a third of my $ in auction draft on him
Also splurged on Devin Booker and Anthony Edwards, both of them delivered for me this season.
Got Brandon Ingram for pretty cheap at $26 and he was really consistent this year
I grabbed Terry Rozier (the only player I also had on champ roster the previous year) for $2 and for a stretch of the season he was a top 5 fantasy player, almost single-handedly carried me to a few victories
Derrick White
Josh Hart
Isaiah Hartenstein
Adding these guys to my squad off the waiver wire pushed me into championship contention again after a bumpy start to the season.
I made a blunder and dropped Tyus Jones right before he finally started balling (spent $8 on him, Scottie Barnes went for $7!)
Even worse I traded Jalen Williams for Jrue Holiday.
Jrue was solid tho.
The pivotal moment was when Jalen Green got dropped by a rival towards the end of the season and I used my #1 waiver to grab him.
The man was my Playoff MVP and now I am a huge fan.
Three peat next year
Won by the skin of my teeth. Entered as the fifth seed against the teams I matched up the worst against. Took fox somehow getting two blocks on the final game of the last day to advance out of the semifinals after my opponent had lebron, PG and doncic shitting all over me.
Overall best players - AD, fox and Chet (though Chet went a bit poo in the playoffs)
Worst pick - Mikal bridges how the hell you so bad……
Best pickups - Coby and miles bridges kept my season afloat
Shoutouts - Dejounte going nuts in the playoffs and the carousel of streamers helping me eke out the small differences
Narrowly scraped by a 5-4 win where 5 out of 9 categories were single digit splits (including a 0.006% in FG)! My opponent was destroying me in 6 cats this week. Sadly, he picked up Flynn and the poor guy went from 53% FG to 46% lol. Great group of guys I play with, always a fun season!
Won a 12T points league on the Timberwolves & Lakers game. I had Gobert, he had Ant. I was up by 2 points before the game started, and ended up winning by 12.25 points. What a rush.
I won 3 out of 4 finals I made. Won one coz my opponent had kawhi giannis zion LeBron and AD. All of them missed at least a game. And AD only played 12 min on Sunday.
Sad part Is that 12 min was enough for me to lose my only finals I lost by 1 rebound. Dunno if I should be happy about 3 wins or sad that I missed out on a 100% win record in finals by 1 board 😅😅
Went up against Wemby AND Jokic and won. Didn’t have Kawhi, Trae, or Scottie plus limited games from Curry and Zion. Embiid was dropped to stream early in the playoffs and I scooped last week. Quickley, PG13, and Jalen Johnson did very well.
Finally, Deni Avdija, Rui, and Dalano Banton will always have a special place in my heart. Dudes went absolutely nuts down the stretch
I needed FTs and steals desperately today, and my team delivered with 45/48 from the line as a team. (Thanks maxey and dame!) Garland also gave me 5 steals for 2 games in a row to win that cat by 2. The team I was facing was a juggernaut with a 15 game cushion over the 2nd seed in the regular season. I didn't think I was gonna be able to pull out the dub this week, so it was a particularly sweet victory.
my opponent had sga and j-dub out all week so that helped.
this is for scottie barnes and brandon ingram, i indeed pulled a championship win out my ass thanks to edwards, fox, maxey, vanvleet and also snatching hartenstein and jalen johnson from my opponent as well!
I've drafted Mike Conley like 10 of the last 12 years... to the point people make fun of me for it now. Someone said after our draft this year "it wouldn't be fantasy without [me] drafting Conley"
We were tied in 3s going into the last game of the night which means I lose on tiebreaker unless Mikey can deliver. Mike Conley, my boy, makes one three to repay me for all these years of faith I've had in him.
Paul George, jalen Brunson, porzingis, chet, Darius garland, jamal Murray, jjj, tyus Jones, Jalen Duren, Alex Caruso, Franz Wagner, Paul Reed,
and Mike fuckin Conley
3x champ in one (AD, Sabonis, Derozan). First time on the other (lost Barnes, Bane, Mark Williams, JDub along the way for this one)
Both 14t leagues woooo 🙌🏽
I simultaneously won and got my ass beat in the championship in both my main leagues so goin through it all rn 😅
Goats: The Villanova boys really carried me hard this week. Porzingis surprised me. Dalano Banton is a god send. Booker had that crazy outburst. PG went super saiyan to save me today. Shout out to Tatum/Fox/Nurk/Jaren (especially considering he could've sat out!) Raptors players have been nice considering
Donkeys: Horrible timing on Lauri. Jimmy gets up when he feels like it. KD was meh. D White really disappeared on the back end. Trey Murphey I needed more. Valanciunas and Capela weren't getting it done
I couldn't withstand AD, Kyrie, Jalen Johnson, KP, JJJ etc. In that one 🤷. Beat the Jokic owner tho (phew)
Never had a 4-5 record since Week 12 and got 5th seed. Managed to beat 4th seed in qf, 1st seed in semis, then the 3rd seed in championship today. Thank you so much KD, Wemby, Cade, and Kawhi for bringing me to the playoffs and for the championship. Huge shoutout to Jordan Poole for the 3ptm!
12 team $500 buyin yahoo league. Surrounded unicorn centers Wemby Porzingus iHart with a punt fg% build consisting of Hali/FVV/DRussell/JalenGreen/Rozier at guard and BogBog/Bridges/CamThomas/Levert/Ayo at forward. Team went insane throughout the playoffs even with only 3 games a week usually from the unicorns. Rockets 10 game win streak gave me 2 extra first rounders for 3 weeks to pair with Hali/Wemby/TingusPingus. Best roster construction, drafting, and waiver choices of my life. Was a good season. Barely even made playoffs though, Jalen Green was that bad and Wemby/Hali missed big chunks of the season. Then 9-0’ed the 1st and 2nd seeds in back to back weeks for the championship
I have two teams this year, finished 1st and 2nd.
For my winning team - IQ, Ayton, and Porz were my championship week MVPs. Props to Porz for playing all four after being in injury management entire season!!! Ayton putting up Embiid numbers after disappearing all season. Streamers like Banton and Kispert were also solid this week. Expected more from Hali but he did just enough!
Holy shit. Check out my story bois. So I lost Scotti Barnes and Ingram right before the playoffs and yes I could not match up at all with the Wemby team in my league. I'd been in defacto first (one conf in our league ended up being trash, so their guy had a wins advantage, he had Embiid). So for the last month or so there's been three of us right at the top. I was mostly me in first but the other two guys would randomly jump ahead for a week. I could not match up with wemby team he ruined me. But the other team at the top really could and their matchups were always very close.
So I made a decision to take a gamble and instead of taking the bye in round one (which would put me in Wemby teams' bracket) I managed to knife myself between the two of them putting them in one bracket and myself in an easier one where I knew it would be one of them in the finals.
This is where the rollercoaster really starts. I was 'carefully' losing cats for the last few weeks and somehow pulled it off. But then I lost Scotti and Bron only had a game or two that week with rest etc. Bunch of other guys I had had 2 games etc as well. The guy I did face had just loaded his roster with 4 game guys. He jumped out to 8-1/7-2 leads on me and held them pretty much till dunno... thursday when I had a full team of games and he was down. So like man in that first round it got crazy. I won on a DJ Murray assist to tie and by a single free throw... in the last 20 seconds of the last game of our whole match up.
DJ passed to the open man with like... less than a minute left and when the shot went up and in I cheered like my team had won the championship. Adding to it he was worried about FTs so he benched Clint Cappela thinking he'd never win dimes. Paul George only got one dime that game tho so the whole thing ended 4-4-1, tied on dimes, and a single FT giving me the percentage over him. The most intense fantasy ever that I've experienced.
So anyway I do think I won the draft. Here's who I started with.

Coby White and Monk were huge ass pickups for me off the wire. Donkey and Bane were really big for me after i picked them up and held them on IR for a while. I fleeced a guy for buckets and Jrue but missed Derrick White a ton. And I eventually traded Jordan Poole to the guy I played in the first round 'n Poole killed his percentages just enough FTW.
I won back to back now the past two years. It's been a really wild ride with the final last year being won in the final minutes. Nearly as close as the squeaker this year.
First year ever. 12 team 9CAT. I drafted a dream team and got solid guys off the waiver. AD, KD, Harden, Barnes, VanVleet, Thomas, Terry. I just won the championship by a tiebreaker against Wemby and Book and I have to say, watching Wemby go into double overtime was scary, but those extra TOs won it for me.
I won pretty easily the finals, I was winning 7-2 before the last day and the only car that was in play was FG% that I ended up losing.
Final score 6-3
Roster: Curry, Irving, Wemby, Mobley, Derozan, DiVincenzo, Green, Duren, Miles Bridges and Quickley were my main guys
🏆🙌🥇
Managed to win despite having Shai missing the entire week. Had a huge trade in the start of the year, Claxton and Keegan Murray for ANT and he came through for me tonight as I won by two 3PTs only. Feels gooood
Was not on time for draft so my team was auto drafted. Picked up Bridges and [DiVincenzo](https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/6028) mid season. Won finals 4 - 3 over my opponent who has Wemby.
Been casually playing since 2022 and I don’t even know what punting or waivers are.
But this time I took Fantasy seriously cuz there’s money involved, first time I won a chip!
I have Jokic, Wemby, Booker but really my waivers (Strus, Levert, Banton, Hauser, Strus) won me the finals alongside my mid picks that went off the past 3 weeks (Jalen Green, Vassell, Klay, Oubre)
Among my 8 leagues, 6 of them had top 3 finishes and 2 of those are champs. It has been challenging because as a Suns fan drafting at the end of the round in many cases, I leaned into the KD Booker combo and it worked well enough. KD pick paid off but i am not sure i would pick him early again lol.
Aside from that, other keys were:
- trading away guys like Mitchell and Ingram earlier in the season
- Jalen Johnson, Coby White, Divencenzo, Hartenstein and Grayson Allen as waivers
- drafting Kawhi, which worked up until championship round :(
Oh yeah! Thanks Embiid! You saved my ass! lol
So many heroes from my team: Luka, Oubre, Hachimura, TrentJr, Olynik, Naz Reid, Trey Murphy, CJ Mccollum, Andre Drummond, PJ Washington, Jimmy Buckets, Scoot, Portis, Nurk, Capella, N.Powell, Despunte Murray. Without these guys, I would not be able to beat the other juggernauts in my league!
Won my league even with all my injuries. Picked Trae and lamelo 2nd and 3rd and they both were out before the playoffs started. Then Brandon Ingram got injured right before finals.
Thankfully joker came through for me plus picked up Coby White and Miles Bridges during the season. Then got naz Reid and Deni avdija in the middle of the playoffs to carry me through. Also helped that the guy I played in championship had shai.
2 championships in the last 3 years let's go!
I overcame Jokic Bam and Wemby!
I still don’t know how I did it but I knocked out 3rd and 1st, to finally meet 2nd place in the finals who had those 3 powerhouse players which led me to my 6th championship!
Best Player: I never lose when drafting PG, so I believed i. that pattern this year. KP as much as he rest, I freakin love the guy. FYI my first pick was Curry ..
Worst Player: Amen Thompson or Oubre but they really held it down for me too
back to back champion! had AD and Joker, picked up Embiid with my last move last week. traded for Poole and Donte back in November/December and held them all season. Picked up Deni Kispert CP3 and WCJ from waivers throughout the season. that was my main team, and lots of streaming. what a ride..
Lost kat and Lauri and thought my season was done but I made some clutch streams through playoffs and I secured the chip. Haven’t won since 2018 so it was overdue lol
Heading into the playoffs, my record was just over .500 with losses in the last two weeks of the regular season. Getting a podium finish seemed like a dream. I had Ja as an early pick and he only played 11 games, Mobley was out for forever, Jimmy Butler had a relatively mid season, Brandon Ingram couldn’t play the last few weeks, and Sengun got shut down earlier this year. I don’t typically see myself as streamer but I was definitely forced to make a couple of moves.
Next thing you know, I edged out my quarterfinals opponent and proceeded to beat the #1 and #2 seed back to back for the chip through FG, FT, steals, blocks, and TOs. Honestly can’t believe I’m in this position, but man what a season. Congrats to all the champs!!
Giannis 1.4, Wemby 3.4, FA pickups like Jalen Johnson (in Week 1), Bridges, Reaves, Coby White, Tre Jones and Drummond a few times, along with quality later round depth like Vanvleet, MPJ, Franz Wagner and Clint Capela helped me overcome Garland and Lavine in the 4th and 5th, and an underforming Donovan Mitchell (2) to go 17-4, get the first seed, and then win the championship dominantly in my first season of fantasy basketball in a .5 points Sleeper League
first time doing fantasy in a few years but I knew from the beginning that I was winning with luka, wemby, and chet as my stars. had a couple other good players like brandon ingram, demar derozan, jalen williams, and jalen green who were also key contributors. had some solid pickups on waivers like trey murphy III, IQ, khris middleton, giddey, so I had a pretty stacked team winning by no less than 250 points per week.
must say it feels nice going undefeated and winning the chip in my first season back after never winning a league before
Shoutout to Maozinha Pereira for carrying me all the way to a championship this week. 💯💯💯 AD almost fumbled my bag just because he doesn’t want to wear goggles. Ended the season 15-5 and beat our 1st seed who was 17-3
Yeahhh buddy, was quite a ride.
Drafted:
Lamelo (11th)
Trae (14th)
Cade (35)
Kessler (38)
Sengun (59)
Vassell (62)
Gafford (83)
Dinwiddie (86)
Portis (107)
Keegan Murray (110)
Conley (131)
Brandon Miller (134) - dropped him during a slump lol
Melton (155)
Traded lamelo ball (when he was injured) + Vassell for Vanvleet + Franz Wagner, and Gafford for Olynk later in the season.
Won semis by tiebreaker on the last day. Won the finals on the last day 5-4.
I think I won via tie-breaker?!
9-cat H2H (keeper) and I I’m holding the tie-breaker over the 1-seed (regular season record against each other).. At least that’s what I’m thinking as Yahoo doesn’t confirm anything 😬
Opponent had Jokic/Kyrie/Ayton/Chet/CJ as his best 5 this week.. He had SGA out while I had Kawhi out and Steph resting today.. And AD left early today when one block would have been enough to give me the outright win..
Had to rely on key pickups all year (iHart, DLo) and this week it was Metu/Zubac/Rui playing key roles! Metu 8-8 today helped me win FG% by .004 👌
Points league with friends, went 19-1 and won the playoffs
MVP was Sabonis at pick 15 who ended up with 3rd highest total fantasy points
Worst moves was trading for Lavine giving Keegan Murray and Anfernee (idk why tf i did that tbf)
KD, Kyrie, Wemby, Dejounte (traded away Chet), and Banchero (traded away jarret allen and middleton) won it for me. Definitely got lucky in the quarter and semifinals with my opponents losing donovan mitchell and lauri respectively, but kyrie and dejounte absolutely showed out for me in the finals!
I drafted luka, jb, pg, tmax, jarret allen, and my roty jalen duren, midway through the season traded for dbook for brown, got kat and ja and lost them both. Dropped 250+ in every round to take home the gold
won with a team of arguably second best players as my core
Dame
KP
Dejounte
Booker
Miles Bridges
Ingram
Dwhite
Shoutout to quickley for clutching up my championship week to edge out in ast and stls 🤞
I just won my first chip today! 10T H2H Cat league. I lost 6 out of 13 players to injury that i drafted smh. Zach lavine joel embiid Trae young Tyler hero jerami grant and jalen Johnson!!! Waiver wire secured me the chip lol
I lost my final 5-3
Last game came down to my Naz Reid v his DLo. Ended up tied on 3s and lost by a single point. I finished top of the ladder so presumably I would have won the tiebreaker if it was tied. Sad night
First time playing fantasy nba in about a decade after a good run (plat level on yahoo). 4 teams, 2 champs, 1 second, 1 third. Drafted normal except brunson in round 2 or 3 and either chet or wemby in round 3. Looking forward to next year.
First season and won it all! I drafted Devin Booker 2nd overall, traded during the draft to get Wemby, and got Giannis at the trade deadline. Those 3 carried me through the playoffs and to my first championship!
I had Webmy and lost haha, needed 2 more blocks for the win :D
But won in the other league even with AD going down and leaving TJ CcConnell on the bench so all good!
But...what to do now until next season?
First year playing fantasy (Yahoo 12 man 9cat snake)
Started playing on Yahoo after a 10 man points league on ESPN fell apart after some questionable trades, went super research mode and did as many drafts on Yahoo as I could. Felt like I had a very successful first year due to how active I was on the waiver wire. Players like Caruso, Herb, Naz Reid, DiVincenzo, Grayson Allen, and later on, Miles McBride and Dalano Banton all secured my victory.
**2nd - Jokic/Lebron/Scottie/Trae**
- Trae and Scottie injuries were too much to overcome, massive blunder was dropping Ayton last week before, thought the Blazers would shut him down, and my opponent picked him up and whooped me. Terrible move but my only blunder of the entire season I believe.
**2nd - Shai/Scottie/Kyrie/Banchero/Brunson**
- Shai happened
**1st - Haliburton/Fox/Holmgren/Mobley/Zion/McCollum**
- Felt like I smashed this draft out the park, got away with robbery at every single pick, team with zero weaknesses, almost won 9-0 if it weren't for a few turnovers and 2 rebounds.
**1st - Haliburton/Maxey/Scottie/Ayton/Claxton**
- I only won this because the other dude had Shai
**7th - Dame/KD/Brunson/Kuzma/Mobley**
- Fell out of the top 5 of the draft and started experimenting with going all out firepower and it didn't work at all
**3rd - Shai/Trae/Bam/Lopez**
- Team was slightly too well rounded and just got destroyed by injuries down the stretch, carried hard by Rozier/MilesBridges/Bogdan/Grayson
**1st - Haliburton/DMitch/Zion/Banchero/Scottie/Ingram/McCollum**
- Ran laps around everyone in the draft, and despite the terrible slumps from Hali and Spida + Ingram/Scottie injuries, there was just too much value left on my roster, other dude also had Shai again
**1st - Giannis/Sabonis/Porzingis/McCollum/Rozier**
- Finals opponent had Kawhi, I picked up almost every single undrafted gem like Naz Reid, Hartenstein, Dosunmu, DiVincenzo, Kuminga.
Been in a league 16 years. We take it very seriously. Won my second title. Last title was 2009 so long drought.
Luka, AD, Porzingis, Deni Advija and Josh Giddey the MVPs.
Cant believe I won one of my leagues with all the injuries/sitting out this week.
Shoutout to Rui and Naz for playing out of their minds in the last game of the week.
12 team Points league.
Started 2-6 but finished on a 10-2 run was able to sneak into the playoffs as the six seed. The team with Embiid made to the finals which really freaked me out but clinched it Sunday when he sat out.
Drafted Players:
Sabonis
Trae Young
Dejounte Murray
Deandre Ayton
Josh Giddey
Franz Wagner
Clutch Mid season waivers:
Collin Sexton
Keegan Murray
Kelly Olynyk
Herb Jones
I retired last year so I decided to give it a try. My first draft was so much fun that I drafted 14 teams in the end. I won 5, finished 2nd in 5, 3rd in 3, and 5th in the last league. I snapped up Jalen Johnson in every one of them early, but after that it was a mixed bag. One team went into the finals with 8 undrafted players from the waiver wire and no stars thanks to injuries. Another had 5 top 25 players. My best team finished 3rd. It was undefeated in the regular season, and they weren’t even close. Even in the couple of 5-4 weeks, it dominated the 5 categories it won. Then it lost the semifinal BADLY, only to win the 3rd place game 8-1.
10/10 I will play again next year. On to baseball.
FIRST CHAMP HERE. In a dynasty league and I did it against a guy I’m with in 2 leagues it was truly a poetic run for me. Giannis, bron, bam was my big 3. I had mitchrob and mark Williams go down but I still pulled it out.
Big thanks to Sabonis, Derozan, J. Allen, Gobert and Murray, carried me all the way to the top, also big thanks to Bane and Jalen Johnson, what a studs, if injuries werent there i would probably win without streamers with them two
Finally won my 16 team dynasty league. My studs were pretty much injured (KAT, SGA, Embiid, Bane) but shout out to guys like Poole, Banton, Micic, Trent Jr, Hachimura. They pulled through for me!
Started 1st seed, finished winning the finals 7-2. 10T H2H. Had Curry, Mitchell, Harden, Irving, Rozier, Porzingod. Then I made really solid pickups all year. JJ, Deni the Wizard, IHart, Coby White and Playoff lunch lady.
Woke up to see I won my matchup even though my opponent had everyone healthy all week and In the last 2 weeks I lost sengun, kawhi, SGA, vassel.
LFGGGGG
14T 9-Cat. Was first seed, I won in the end by one block. The guy that had Wemby and Luka fell early on, he would've beat all of us in any scenario if he got out of the first round.
Top 3 - Hali, PG, KAT - not stellar by any means, but they stayed healthy-ish (until KAT at the end)
Maxey, Gafford, Quickley, and a trade for Giddey mid-allegation are who I can thank the most.
My team overall had balance. High %'s, low TO's, strong in niche categories as I got players who were like all averaging at least one steal or block a game
7-2. It wasn’t even close. Kawhi, OG, and Cam Johnson, Myles Turner were injured. Nick Richards and Tatum were out.
Traded for Jokic. Gave Maxey (drafted in the 6th Round), Towns, Ingram, and JJJ.
Got JJJ (wasn’t doing good efficiently) + Sengun from giving CJ Mccollum (had a great start in the season) + Markkannen
Traded for AD when Sengun was popping off. Packaged White and Bogdanovic to make it happen.
Traded Valanciunas to get Klay when no one wanted him.
Traded Hartenstein (waiver) + Smart + Saddiq Bey because he got injured for Quickley + Portis
Traded Precious, Russell, and Wiggins for Fox. This was when Precious and Russell were popping off.
Got Grant Williams Naz Reid, Oubre, and Draymond in the waivers when they were inconsistent/suspended. Embiid and Towns being out for the season boosted their value and Green started playing well starting week 20.
Lost Scottie (5th round) + Ja (7th Round pick).
Haliburton (1st Round) was the only one that was in my team.
Made some stupid trades like (Steven Adams) and regretting ones I rejected like (Morant).
No clue how I won. Still in shock.
5th seed in a 12 team weekly h2h league with a 11-8 record. Made it all the way to the championship and ended up squeaking by with a 9 point win against the 1 seed with a 16-3 record!
Everything seemed to go wrong at the worst time. Draymond ejection/injury, amen thompson ejection, jaren jackson injury, tatum out.
However, still managed to pull of the win with this team: Mike Conley , Terry Rozier , Amen Thompson , Fred VanVleet , Paolo Banchero , Draymond Green , Pascal Siakam , Jayson Tatum , Jaren Jackson , Russell Westbrook.
The other team: Cade Cunningham, De'Aaron Fox, T.J. McConnell, Jalen Suggs, Giannis Antetokounmpo, DeMar DeRozan, De'Andre Hunter, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Marvin Bagley, Rui Hachimura
I won 5-4. It was so close and went down to the Lakers game. Naz Reid won FG% for me!!
The guy with Wemby didn't make the playoffs. Brunson was so good this year. KD and Tatum were my top 2 picks :)
I was tied with Ant being my last player. I won by 1 rebound all thanks to Ant's one rebound game. Luckily I would've won the tiebreaker

LFG! Won with FVV, Booker, Cam Thomas, Herro, Wemby, Bogdanivic, Ayton, Banton, and Embiid. Thought I was cooked when Jalen Williams and Kawhi were both out.
Our league is sleeper game pick
Took Chet last year in the 14th round of 9C12T as a keeper. He took up my IL slot all year and I came in 8th.
I came in first, but almost lost in the finals. My opponent didn't have Jokic or Wemby (neither did I for that matter).
I wish I could be a part of this . Congrats to everyone who grinder for the Chip. I lost too many valuable players who I couldn’t drop JJJ , SGA who was solid until the end and opponent had Hali who bailed out of his mind this year.
Just won a public league where I missed the draft (didn’t realized I had signed up) and auto drafted kyrie first, sabonis second, Murray third, Jaylen brown fourth, Jarrett Allen fifth and sengun sixth. Picked up all the waiver wire hero’s, coby white, Jalen johnson, Ayo. League has 3 diamond players. I should be diamond after this win. Total record for the year is two first place finishes and one second.
Won in 2/3 leagues, should've been 3rd in the other, but between JJJ and losing Kawhi and Jdub I had no chance against my opponent's full, healthy roster, I was down too many games. I had AD in one league and Kyrie/Fox/Derozan in my other.
Points league 10T and I was the last pick. Sabonis, Lebron mostly carried me. Then I had a ton of solid mid tier guys, almost no bums, PG, Duren, McCollum, Garland, Ingram. Cody White, Cam Thomas, Grayson Allen were huge mid season pickups for me.
Got some injury help of course. And Lebron getting IL+ gave me free streamers every week. Overall pumped to win my first chip!
12 team...went all guard to start draft with Luka, Brunson, Kyrie, got a steal with Kawhi, and got Allen and Lopez as late Cs. Finals opponent had Wemby, Fox, Durant, DWhite, Adebayo, Vucevic, Giddy, Mimic...picking up Blanton, Drummond, and Strus helped Mr pull it off 5-4, sweating out Wemby going OT.
Got the chip back after not winning for 4 years, had previously won 3 in a row before this. Lost a final and 2 semis in that span but finally got the chip back.
Had my best ever season with 18 W and 2 L in the regular season. 12 team league.
Drafted Tatum #4 but won’t be doing that again, he was very disappointing in my points league, even resting on the last day.
Lost Barnes, Towns, Bane & Randle during the season too but CJ, J.Johnson carried me. Risks such as Bridges and D Lo paid off, while Olynyk and Vukecvic made good finals pick ups.
10T points
only one active on wires so i was able to overpay on buy-lows
team consisted of
-donovan mitchell
-tyrese maxey
-jimmy butler
-giannis
-AD
-tatum
-ant
-gobert
-josh hart
most ridiculous team i've ever had lol
Won my points league after going 10-10 in the regular season.
Joker led the way all season, dejounte gave me the post season push, got a steal on Chet at 61, and survived my Lamelo pick too.
Feeling real proud after a hard fought season.
WON AS A 4TH SEED WITH ONLY 2 CENTERS AND 10 GUARDS
Haliburton
Cunningham
Ant
PG13
VanVleet
Devin Vassell before injury
I went all in on the guard cats from the beginning and by the end of the season no one could touch me in 3s, FT%, assists, or steals. Id stream based on my opponent to pick up the last cat. Not the easiest strat but it did the job. I love my short kings.
Won my comp with a 4-4 draw, clawed back points to win the 4th cat by 16 points in total. Finished the year 103-46-3 and played the finals against his jokic and Irving without my SGA.
Would say the winning moment for my was trading away lamelo and Duncan Robinson for FVV and OG, the. Flipping Scottie Barnes into Trae and sabonis.
Draft day steals in Derrick white and Jalen Duren were also big for me, and a huge end of year by green
16T Keeper league, have finished top 4 consistently which has meant that I’ve kept Jaylen Brown 3 years in a row. Felt like I needed a keeper and swung on Brunson, Wemby and Chet with picks 1, 2 and 3. Traded picks 5 and 8 for Dejounte Murray part way through the season when he was slumping and while I arguably lost the trade, it allowed me to have solid streams through the season.
The boys really stepped it up in the playoffs, was a strong 5-4 win.
Just won my first year playing in a 10T PTS league. Basically cake walked the finals with 1800 pts
My team had Luka, Wemby, PG, Harden, Jimmy, Demar, Coby, Ayton.
Shoutout to divincenzo and Coby for being great waivers.
Out of my 3 teams two made it to the finals. The first matchup wasn't even close and I won 7-2. The second went down to the wire and I was only up a few points, rebounds, and blocks while my opponent still had AD starting. It was looking rough for me. Kyle Anderson was looking out for me though.
Jokic
Kyrie
Dearron Fox
Paolo Banchero
Mikal Bridges
Hartenstein
Evan Mobley
CJ McCollum
Klay T.
Giddey
Won draft night, didn't mess it up along the way.
First 3x champ in our league, about 10 years in.
Let's go boys, congrats to my fellow Champs 🏆!
I threw my last regular season week for favourable playoff seeding. Annihilated my first playoff week. Won my second week by 1 in a points league and then in the final week just crushed the Mickey Mouse run from the other side of the bracket
I won points league by 0.5. Couldn't believe it. Thought I had a done deal loss because Draymond got injured at 12pts as my final player, and then Austin Reaves shat the bed for my opponent and scored 11. Picked AD in the first round, Wemby in the second. Between AD being injury prone, and Wemby being a rookie they both got underestimated. Total run was 15-6, beating the favourite who was 19-2
Having AD & Wemby is a cheat code lol
I have AD, Wemby, and Luka. Easy champ right here.
Had AD too. League winner if u get lucky with injuries like we did this year lol
On my other league where i went first i had Luka + Wemby lol
Luckily the AD/Wemby/mother fucking jokic owner lost in the semis
Knocked out the 1st, 2nd and 4th teams on my way to the chip, including the Jokic owner and repeat champion in the finals. Picked Chet 44th overall and named my team ChetGPT. Lost Ja and Mark Williams but otherwise stayed relatively healthy. I made more moves than the top two teams combined - championships are won on the wire! Hali, Booker, Chet, Quickley, J Brown, Claxton and Hart were draftees that delivered. And had some league winners off the wire with a trio of knicks - Divicenzo, Hartenstein, and McBride. Shout out to the one game I got out of Chimezi Metu too lolol. Congrats champs!!!
Metu really won me a ring in 2024 🥲
Fellow ChetGPT named champion!
YEAHH!! Not even injuries could’ve stop me! Props to AD for carrying me along the way.
The irony in this comment. I love sports
I won because the 38-4 owner didn’t have like 8 dudes he drafted due to injury. Haha
Thank you Maxeyy
What a finish to a great season he made!
Don’t forget Hart and Divincenzo. They were the diamonds in the rough for the last few weeks
3rd year playing, total noob to basketball and won my ship!! Let’s gooo. Wemby carried me, they mocked me for picking him early
In my league someone made their team name WEMBY and I snaked him before in the draft, so I made my team The Real WEMBY, then DECLINED a week 3 trade of Halliburton AND Ja for Wemby & Vassel because I wanted him no matter what. That petty decline won me the league
Just delivered a 3-peat in my league. Can't believe it. AD, Sabonis, Fox were my top guys. Got a healthy year from Zion, miraculously. Picked up the Metu-verse at the start of finals week...crazy.
Metu-verse lolol I only got him for his last game, but what a game it was.
Yo i had AD and traded for Fox. Those sunday games are all clutch haha. B2B champ here!
Sabonis and Fox for the win!
Metu delivered for me too
hashtag MeTu
The MeTu movement
won the league by 9 points . naz reid.
Naz Fucking Reid
🙋♂️ 30 Team League winner woot
Jesus Christ I cant even imagine what waivers are like in your league.
Pretty bare. Ended up streaming players that got maybe 5 minutes playing time just to get 1-2 rebounds lol
SGA almost costed me the chip but tingus with the 5 blocks today saved me from crying in my sleep.
8th seed champ here.
Thank you Luka. That is all
The champs are here!!!
FUCK YES. I AM SO GLAD GIANNIS FELL TO ME AT THE 8TH PICK, I BUILT A CHAMP TEAM AROUND HIM CONGRATS TO ALL THE CHAMPS
Survived a gauntlet of “injuries” the last 3 weeks. 0 games from Shai, 1 from JDub, and 2 from Spida this week. Stream stream stream. Don’t be afraid to drop guys who got you to the ship when it matters most. And shout out to Metu, GTJ, and Tyrese MF’in Maxey!!
Best players are wemby, kd, brunson. But the reason why i won was because of hachimura helping me take the lead in points by only 7
I did it! Also blew a 250 point lead!
Beat 6th,2nd and 1st seed to win the chip. Won both my semi finals and finals due to 1 block being the decider. Best players were curry,booker and getting LeBron at pick 38. Getting kuminga as a FA and drafting oubre for my last pick were perfect. Didn't have any bad players but had Mark Williams and beal who were injured quite a lot. Ayton early on was sorta trash but he did turn up during the last few months. Team that drafted wemby had embi, lavine and ja so he was out of playoffs or else he woulda been a problem.
I thought my team were just Shai merchants but managed to win with no other stars just a bunch of top 50 players: * JJJ (drafted 20 overall) * Bam (29) * VanVleet (44) * Vucevic (53) * McCollum (92) * Keegan (101) * Bogdan (waivers) * DDV (waivers) I overdrafted JJJ and Bam but FVV, CJ, and Keegan were steals. Bogdan and DDV were amazing waiver pickups. I’m going to miss this underrated team!
I drafted McCollum in the 80s too. Definitely was the steal of the draft for me this year
Picked up Jordan Poole and Josh giddey and they won me the league. I kinda hate it lol Shout out to Tyus Jones off the waiver tho, singlehandedly turned my punt fg/assist team to just punting fg
First 2 picks, Tatum and Fox. Won the championship with 0.05 fg perc. That was a god damn crazy night
Fuck yes!! Top 5 players: KD (9th overall) Dejounte Murray (19th overall) Jarret Allen (67th overall) Miles Bridges (91st overall) JJJ (43 overall) Special thanks to: Devin Vassell buddy was great all year 12 team H2H points league: 12-8 (7 game streak coming into playoffs) no first round bye
Jarrett Allen is been my unsung hero/mvp of the year. Dude was consistently solid from December
100% so glad he was able to get his cake this year. Buddy has been a godsend. Cheers mate
CONGRATS CHAMPS!!!! Damn near dropped Giddey a million times during season, but that mf was clutch as hell for me down the stretch. Also shoutout my unlikely waiver wire heroes Brandon Miller, IQ, Dosunmu, and motherfuckin Deni Avdija. Cheers to all you champs, and also anyone who’s celebrating back to back chips 🍾😤
Banton and Dante divenchenzo pickups!
Donte is the WW pickup of the year. Got him in so many leagues. He’s been incredible.
Won in two leagues. I had Wemby in both. Nuff said.
I had Wemby for keeper league and won on first year. WE ARE ONLY AT YEAR 1
Keeper league with Wemby is goals. Nice!
I feel like 10yrs of dominance is guaranteed. We can only keep 1 player per team and i used to have Luka so im gonna drop him now. We also have a fun draft bec we based it on last season standings. I literally tank last season to have the chance to pick Wemby haha
YEWWWW first time winning after 5 years. Have came 2nd 3 times.
10 year anniversary of my league and I finally broke through with my first championship! Jokic carried me all year but waiver gems like Jalen Johnson were huge for me all year too
In spite of money fantasy leagues being banned in Ontario, playing the free leagues gave me that serotonin boost I needed. I couldnt have done it without the Hachimura, Ivey, Scoot stream at the end
KD/AD/Maxey trio did the job throughout the regular season. Shoutout to Jordan Poole for stepping up in the playoffs tho
AD injured but gave me 2 steals, I won 5-4 55-54 in steals lol. Props to my opponent's Hachimura though.
Points league. 24-0. All hail our lord and savior Nikola.
won on the last day. naz reid and rui hachimura went off. wemby was definitely my mvp all year. my team was super deep though. devin booker, steph curry, chet, demar derozan, jaylen brown, myles turner, jimmy butler, nikola vucevic, tyler herro, klay thompson. JOSH HART also a monster pickup for me. miles bridges was there as well as a stud but traded late in the season for vucevic. was the number one seed. points league.
Pick 9 - Sabonis Pick 16 - Mikal Bridges (🥹😂) Pick 33 - Dejounte Pick 40 - Vooch Pick 57 - Clax Pick 64 - Zion Pick 81 - Jabari smith The rest - trash Traded dejounte for kawhi in November Also picked up Miles bridges right after it was announced he would feature for charlotte and court was not gonna hurt him Luckily my opponent in finals lost Scottie Barnes and Julius Randle and only had 3 games from booker, halli, and wemby in finals week 3 peat for me!!
Thank you Sabonis Maxey and Brunson Deni and garland!
Was 6th (bottom seed) out of 6 in the playoffs for the second season in a row, running a triple punt (PTS, 3s and FT) centered around Jokic. Drafted Kawhi, Sengun, JDub, Bridges, Caruso, Draymond and Gafford for cheap. Traded Sengun for Harden a week before Sengun went down. Picked up Amen, Micic and Avdija who all went off during the playoffs. Won all 3 playoff matchups 5-4 and went B2B. 🙏
We out here champs! Lost Scottie, Sengun and Ingram all heading into playoffs. Shout out LBJ and KD for staying healthy and carrying me all season. Love them
Just repeated as champ in my points league. Luka was my captain I spent like a third of my $ in auction draft on him Also splurged on Devin Booker and Anthony Edwards, both of them delivered for me this season. Got Brandon Ingram for pretty cheap at $26 and he was really consistent this year I grabbed Terry Rozier (the only player I also had on champ roster the previous year) for $2 and for a stretch of the season he was a top 5 fantasy player, almost single-handedly carried me to a few victories Derrick White Josh Hart Isaiah Hartenstein Adding these guys to my squad off the waiver wire pushed me into championship contention again after a bumpy start to the season. I made a blunder and dropped Tyus Jones right before he finally started balling (spent $8 on him, Scottie Barnes went for $7!) Even worse I traded Jalen Williams for Jrue Holiday. Jrue was solid tho. The pivotal moment was when Jalen Green got dropped by a rival towards the end of the season and I used my #1 waiver to grab him. The man was my Playoff MVP and now I am a huge fan. Three peat next year
Won by the skin of my teeth. Entered as the fifth seed against the teams I matched up the worst against. Took fox somehow getting two blocks on the final game of the last day to advance out of the semifinals after my opponent had lebron, PG and doncic shitting all over me. Overall best players - AD, fox and Chet (though Chet went a bit poo in the playoffs) Worst pick - Mikal bridges how the hell you so bad…… Best pickups - Coby and miles bridges kept my season afloat Shoutouts - Dejounte going nuts in the playoffs and the carousel of streamers helping me eke out the small differences
Narrowly scraped by a 5-4 win where 5 out of 9 categories were single digit splits (including a 0.006% in FG)! My opponent was destroying me in 6 cats this week. Sadly, he picked up Flynn and the poor guy went from 53% FG to 46% lol. Great group of guys I play with, always a fun season!
Taco league but made it through unscathed, Luka, Maxey, AD, Zion all played out well
Won a 12T points league on the Timberwolves & Lakers game. I had Gobert, he had Ant. I was up by 2 points before the game started, and ended up winning by 12.25 points. What a rush.
I won 3 out of 4 finals I made. Won one coz my opponent had kawhi giannis zion LeBron and AD. All of them missed at least a game. And AD only played 12 min on Sunday. Sad part Is that 12 min was enough for me to lose my only finals I lost by 1 rebound. Dunno if I should be happy about 3 wins or sad that I missed out on a 100% win record in finals by 1 board 😅😅
Went up against Wemby AND Jokic and won. Didn’t have Kawhi, Trae, or Scottie plus limited games from Curry and Zion. Embiid was dropped to stream early in the playoffs and I scooped last week. Quickley, PG13, and Jalen Johnson did very well. Finally, Deni Avdija, Rui, and Dalano Banton will always have a special place in my heart. Dudes went absolutely nuts down the stretch
2nd championship of the year baby! I barely had competition all season and my team was relatively healthy! Congrats to everyone else! 🥳🥳🥳
Goodwin and metu free agent pick ups carried me in categories. AD, Brunson, kyrie and zingus were the main stayers.
I needed FTs and steals desperately today, and my team delivered with 45/48 from the line as a team. (Thanks maxey and dame!) Garland also gave me 5 steals for 2 games in a row to win that cat by 2. The team I was facing was a juggernaut with a 15 game cushion over the 2nd seed in the regular season. I didn't think I was gonna be able to pull out the dub this week, so it was a particularly sweet victory.
my opponent had sga and j-dub out all week so that helped. this is for scottie barnes and brandon ingram, i indeed pulled a championship win out my ass thanks to edwards, fox, maxey, vanvleet and also snatching hartenstein and jalen johnson from my opponent as well!
I've drafted Mike Conley like 10 of the last 12 years... to the point people make fun of me for it now. Someone said after our draft this year "it wouldn't be fantasy without [me] drafting Conley" We were tied in 3s going into the last game of the night which means I lose on tiebreaker unless Mikey can deliver. Mike Conley, my boy, makes one three to repay me for all these years of faith I've had in him. Paul George, jalen Brunson, porzingis, chet, Darius garland, jamal Murray, jjj, tyus Jones, Jalen Duren, Alex Caruso, Franz Wagner, Paul Reed, and Mike fuckin Conley
1st year playing. I beat Wemby by having him on my team :) \- Wemby \- Sabonis \- Porzingis \- Mobley \- Dejounte \- Deni MY KIGNS <3
I am destroying in my final series right now. My MVP's: Maxey, Sabonis, Fox, Booker and Zion
3x champ in one (AD, Sabonis, Derozan). First time on the other (lost Barnes, Bane, Mark Williams, JDub along the way for this one) Both 14t leagues woooo 🙌🏽
I simultaneously won and got my ass beat in the championship in both my main leagues so goin through it all rn 😅 Goats: The Villanova boys really carried me hard this week. Porzingis surprised me. Dalano Banton is a god send. Booker had that crazy outburst. PG went super saiyan to save me today. Shout out to Tatum/Fox/Nurk/Jaren (especially considering he could've sat out!) Raptors players have been nice considering Donkeys: Horrible timing on Lauri. Jimmy gets up when he feels like it. KD was meh. D White really disappeared on the back end. Trey Murphey I needed more. Valanciunas and Capela weren't getting it done I couldn't withstand AD, Kyrie, Jalen Johnson, KP, JJJ etc. In that one 🤷. Beat the Jokic owner tho (phew)
Never had a 4-5 record since Week 12 and got 5th seed. Managed to beat 4th seed in qf, 1st seed in semis, then the 3rd seed in championship today. Thank you so much KD, Wemby, Cade, and Kawhi for bringing me to the playoffs and for the championship. Huge shoutout to Jordan Poole for the 3ptm!
shoutouts to getting brunson and gobert in the later rounds great around hali-ant
Naz Reid
12 team $500 buyin yahoo league. Surrounded unicorn centers Wemby Porzingus iHart with a punt fg% build consisting of Hali/FVV/DRussell/JalenGreen/Rozier at guard and BogBog/Bridges/CamThomas/Levert/Ayo at forward. Team went insane throughout the playoffs even with only 3 games a week usually from the unicorns. Rockets 10 game win streak gave me 2 extra first rounders for 3 weeks to pair with Hali/Wemby/TingusPingus. Best roster construction, drafting, and waiver choices of my life. Was a good season. Barely even made playoffs though, Jalen Green was that bad and Wemby/Hali missed big chunks of the season. Then 9-0’ed the 1st and 2nd seeds in back to back weeks for the championship
I have two teams this year, finished 1st and 2nd. For my winning team - IQ, Ayton, and Porz were my championship week MVPs. Props to Porz for playing all four after being in injury management entire season!!! Ayton putting up Embiid numbers after disappearing all season. Streamers like Banton and Kispert were also solid this week. Expected more from Hali but he did just enough!
Luka brought it home!
Glad to be among the champs this year. Congrats fantasy bball Boiz and girlz
Holy shit. Check out my story bois. So I lost Scotti Barnes and Ingram right before the playoffs and yes I could not match up at all with the Wemby team in my league. I'd been in defacto first (one conf in our league ended up being trash, so their guy had a wins advantage, he had Embiid). So for the last month or so there's been three of us right at the top. I was mostly me in first but the other two guys would randomly jump ahead for a week. I could not match up with wemby team he ruined me. But the other team at the top really could and their matchups were always very close. So I made a decision to take a gamble and instead of taking the bye in round one (which would put me in Wemby teams' bracket) I managed to knife myself between the two of them putting them in one bracket and myself in an easier one where I knew it would be one of them in the finals. This is where the rollercoaster really starts. I was 'carefully' losing cats for the last few weeks and somehow pulled it off. But then I lost Scotti and Bron only had a game or two that week with rest etc. Bunch of other guys I had had 2 games etc as well. The guy I did face had just loaded his roster with 4 game guys. He jumped out to 8-1/7-2 leads on me and held them pretty much till dunno... thursday when I had a full team of games and he was down. So like man in that first round it got crazy. I won on a DJ Murray assist to tie and by a single free throw... in the last 20 seconds of the last game of our whole match up. DJ passed to the open man with like... less than a minute left and when the shot went up and in I cheered like my team had won the championship. Adding to it he was worried about FTs so he benched Clint Cappela thinking he'd never win dimes. Paul George only got one dime that game tho so the whole thing ended 4-4-1, tied on dimes, and a single FT giving me the percentage over him. The most intense fantasy ever that I've experienced. So anyway I do think I won the draft. Here's who I started with. |NO.|PLAYER|OFFER AMOUNT| |:-|:-|:-| |25|[Paul George]() LAC, SF|$30| |31|[Jordan Poole]() Wsh, SG|$26| |33|[LeBron James]() LAL, SF|$30| |35|[Dejounte Murray]() Atl, PG|$32| |41|[Pascal Siakam]() Ind, PF|$22| |42|[Zion Williamson]() NO, PF|$19| |45|[Brandon Ingram]() NO, SF|$14| |65|[Scottie Barnes]() Tor, PF|$15| |71|[Derrick White]() Bos, PG|$4| |74|[Gary Trent Jr.]() Tor, SG|$2| |122|[Kevon Looney]() GS, C|$1| |126|[Aaron Gordon]() Den, PF|$2| |132|[Mason Plumlee]() LAC, C|$1| |136|[Christian Wood]() LAL, C|$2| And here's my roster at the end...

And I eventually traded Jordan Poole to the guy I played in the first round 'n Poole killed his percentages just enough FTW. I won back to back now the past two years. It's been a really wild ride with the final last year being won in the final minutes. Nearly as close as the squeaker this year.
2nd Chip in 3 years! Kepper league with Jokic and Giannis, going to hold onto them until the wheels fall off!
Congrats everyone! My first year Final results: [https://ibb.co/vBqb8Bk](https://ibb.co/vBqb8Bk) (I hope there's no another week for finals lol)
Won my 10t league. Zion and KD were a surprisingly good pairing.
First year ever. 12 team 9CAT. I drafted a dream team and got solid guys off the waiver. AD, KD, Harden, Barnes, VanVleet, Thomas, Terry. I just won the championship by a tiebreaker against Wemby and Book and I have to say, watching Wemby go into double overtime was scary, but those extra TOs won it for me.
Shoutout to Draymond and Caruso stocks coming in clutch on the last day of my season 🙌🙌🙌
I won pretty easily the finals, I was winning 7-2 before the last day and the only car that was in play was FG% that I ended up losing. Final score 6-3 Roster: Curry, Irving, Wemby, Mobley, Derozan, DiVincenzo, Green, Duren, Miles Bridges and Quickley were my main guys 🏆🙌🥇
Managed to win despite having Shai missing the entire week. Had a huge trade in the start of the year, Claxton and Keegan Murray for ANT and he came through for me tonight as I won by two 3PTs only. Feels gooood
AD Fox and Brunson carried me all year
Was not on time for draft so my team was auto drafted. Picked up Bridges and [DiVincenzo](https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/6028) mid season. Won finals 4 - 3 over my opponent who has Wemby.
Been casually playing since 2022 and I don’t even know what punting or waivers are. But this time I took Fantasy seriously cuz there’s money involved, first time I won a chip! I have Jokic, Wemby, Booker but really my waivers (Strus, Levert, Banton, Hauser, Strus) won me the finals alongside my mid picks that went off the past 3 weeks (Jalen Green, Vassell, Klay, Oubre)
Had 10 moves on the season. carried by Sabonis. Won $600 clicking autoset lineup. Won finals by fg% tiebreaker by .0004 lifes good!
Among my 8 leagues, 6 of them had top 3 finishes and 2 of those are champs. It has been challenging because as a Suns fan drafting at the end of the round in many cases, I leaned into the KD Booker combo and it worked well enough. KD pick paid off but i am not sure i would pick him early again lol. Aside from that, other keys were: - trading away guys like Mitchell and Ingram earlier in the season - Jalen Johnson, Coby White, Divencenzo, Hartenstein and Grayson Allen as waivers - drafting Kawhi, which worked up until championship round :(
Oh yeah! Thanks Embiid! You saved my ass! lol So many heroes from my team: Luka, Oubre, Hachimura, TrentJr, Olynik, Naz Reid, Trey Murphy, CJ Mccollum, Andre Drummond, PJ Washington, Jimmy Buckets, Scoot, Portis, Nurk, Capella, N.Powell, Despunte Murray. Without these guys, I would not be able to beat the other juggernauts in my league!
I took wemby with my 1st pick and AD with my 2nd pick 10 team cat what a year 🏆
Won my league even with all my injuries. Picked Trae and lamelo 2nd and 3rd and they both were out before the playoffs started. Then Brandon Ingram got injured right before finals. Thankfully joker came through for me plus picked up Coby White and Miles Bridges during the season. Then got naz Reid and Deni avdija in the middle of the playoffs to carry me through. Also helped that the guy I played in championship had shai. 2 championships in the last 3 years let's go!
Letsssd gggoooo!!!! AD, Hali early on, and the a lot of solid pickups did it for me. I also had some wildcards like Klay that nearly fucked me though.
I overcame Jokic Bam and Wemby! I still don’t know how I did it but I knocked out 3rd and 1st, to finally meet 2nd place in the finals who had those 3 powerhouse players which led me to my 6th championship! Best Player: I never lose when drafting PG, so I believed i. that pattern this year. KP as much as he rest, I freakin love the guy. FYI my first pick was Curry .. Worst Player: Amen Thompson or Oubre but they really held it down for me too
back to back champion! had AD and Joker, picked up Embiid with my last move last week. traded for Poole and Donte back in November/December and held them all season. Picked up Deni Kispert CP3 and WCJ from waivers throughout the season. that was my main team, and lots of streaming. what a ride..
Lost kat and Lauri and thought my season was done but I made some clutch streams through playoffs and I secured the chip. Haven’t won since 2018 so it was overdue lol
Heading into the playoffs, my record was just over .500 with losses in the last two weeks of the regular season. Getting a podium finish seemed like a dream. I had Ja as an early pick and he only played 11 games, Mobley was out for forever, Jimmy Butler had a relatively mid season, Brandon Ingram couldn’t play the last few weeks, and Sengun got shut down earlier this year. I don’t typically see myself as streamer but I was definitely forced to make a couple of moves. Next thing you know, I edged out my quarterfinals opponent and proceeded to beat the #1 and #2 seed back to back for the chip through FG, FT, steals, blocks, and TOs. Honestly can’t believe I’m in this position, but man what a season. Congrats to all the champs!!
Naz Reid Won final week 5-2-2 Beat the Joker & Wemby owner (he also had Maxey go off today)
Back to back champ! AD carried me this season shoutout to Olynyk and Ayton this week too!
Giannis 1.4, Wemby 3.4, FA pickups like Jalen Johnson (in Week 1), Bridges, Reaves, Coby White, Tre Jones and Drummond a few times, along with quality later round depth like Vanvleet, MPJ, Franz Wagner and Clint Capela helped me overcome Garland and Lavine in the 4th and 5th, and an underforming Donovan Mitchell (2) to go 17-4, get the first seed, and then win the championship dominantly in my first season of fantasy basketball in a .5 points Sleeper League
first time doing fantasy in a few years but I knew from the beginning that I was winning with luka, wemby, and chet as my stars. had a couple other good players like brandon ingram, demar derozan, jalen williams, and jalen green who were also key contributors. had some solid pickups on waivers like trey murphy III, IQ, khris middleton, giddey, so I had a pretty stacked team winning by no less than 250 points per week. must say it feels nice going undefeated and winning the chip in my first season back after never winning a league before
Shoutout to Maozinha Pereira for carrying me all the way to a championship this week. 💯💯💯 AD almost fumbled my bag just because he doesn’t want to wear goggles. Ended the season 15-5 and beat our 1st seed who was 17-3
Crushed the championship this week. I have no business being in the finals (only won my semis c/o a block from Fox) Lol
Lost Scot barn. Went up against wemby. AD and Kyrie did enough for me. Back to back champ in dynasty.
Congrats guys! Shoutout to Wemby, Dejounte, Banton, Cam Thomas, Miles Bridges, and Naz Reid for holding it down when I needed it the most 🫡
Yeahhh buddy, was quite a ride. Drafted: Lamelo (11th) Trae (14th) Cade (35) Kessler (38) Sengun (59) Vassell (62) Gafford (83) Dinwiddie (86) Portis (107) Keegan Murray (110) Conley (131) Brandon Miller (134) - dropped him during a slump lol Melton (155) Traded lamelo ball (when he was injured) + Vassell for Vanvleet + Franz Wagner, and Gafford for Olynk later in the season. Won semis by tiebreaker on the last day. Won the finals on the last day 5-4.
I'll be back on Sunday, bros. Congratulations to everybody already certified
I think I won via tie-breaker?! 9-cat H2H (keeper) and I I’m holding the tie-breaker over the 1-seed (regular season record against each other).. At least that’s what I’m thinking as Yahoo doesn’t confirm anything 😬 Opponent had Jokic/Kyrie/Ayton/Chet/CJ as his best 5 this week.. He had SGA out while I had Kawhi out and Steph resting today.. And AD left early today when one block would have been enough to give me the outright win.. Had to rely on key pickups all year (iHart, DLo) and this week it was Metu/Zubac/Rui playing key roles! Metu 8-8 today helped me win FG% by .004 👌
Points league with friends, went 19-1 and won the playoffs MVP was Sabonis at pick 15 who ended up with 3rd highest total fantasy points Worst moves was trading for Lavine giving Keegan Murray and Anfernee (idk why tf i did that tbf)
KD, Kyrie, Wemby, Dejounte (traded away Chet), and Banchero (traded away jarret allen and middleton) won it for me. Definitely got lucky in the quarter and semifinals with my opponents losing donovan mitchell and lauri respectively, but kyrie and dejounte absolutely showed out for me in the finals!
Dalano Banton finals MVP but Jalen Johnson lowkey my fav player of the year for me
2nd year playing. 500$ richer. Easiest money I ever made
SABONIS
I drafted luka, jb, pg, tmax, jarret allen, and my roty jalen duren, midway through the season traded for dbook for brown, got kat and ja and lost them both. Dropped 250+ in every round to take home the gold
won with a team of arguably second best players as my core Dame KP Dejounte Booker Miles Bridges Ingram Dwhite Shoutout to quickley for clutching up my championship week to edge out in ast and stls 🤞
I just won my first chip today! 10T H2H Cat league. I lost 6 out of 13 players to injury that i drafted smh. Zach lavine joel embiid Trae young Tyler hero jerami grant and jalen Johnson!!! Waiver wire secured me the chip lol
I lost my final 5-3 Last game came down to my Naz Reid v his DLo. Ended up tied on 3s and lost by a single point. I finished top of the ladder so presumably I would have won the tiebreaker if it was tied. Sad night
First time playing fantasy nba in about a decade after a good run (plat level on yahoo). 4 teams, 2 champs, 1 second, 1 third. Drafted normal except brunson in round 2 or 3 and either chet or wemby in round 3. Looking forward to next year.
First season and won it all! I drafted Devin Booker 2nd overall, traded during the draft to get Wemby, and got Giannis at the trade deadline. Those 3 carried me through the playoffs and to my first championship!
Had my best ever fantasy week in four years
Rode AD to a close win for the chip.
I had Webmy and lost haha, needed 2 more blocks for the win :D But won in the other league even with AD going down and leaving TJ CcConnell on the bench so all good! But...what to do now until next season?
First year playing fantasy (Yahoo 12 man 9cat snake) Started playing on Yahoo after a 10 man points league on ESPN fell apart after some questionable trades, went super research mode and did as many drafts on Yahoo as I could. Felt like I had a very successful first year due to how active I was on the waiver wire. Players like Caruso, Herb, Naz Reid, DiVincenzo, Grayson Allen, and later on, Miles McBride and Dalano Banton all secured my victory. **2nd - Jokic/Lebron/Scottie/Trae** - Trae and Scottie injuries were too much to overcome, massive blunder was dropping Ayton last week before, thought the Blazers would shut him down, and my opponent picked him up and whooped me. Terrible move but my only blunder of the entire season I believe. **2nd - Shai/Scottie/Kyrie/Banchero/Brunson** - Shai happened **1st - Haliburton/Fox/Holmgren/Mobley/Zion/McCollum** - Felt like I smashed this draft out the park, got away with robbery at every single pick, team with zero weaknesses, almost won 9-0 if it weren't for a few turnovers and 2 rebounds. **1st - Haliburton/Maxey/Scottie/Ayton/Claxton** - I only won this because the other dude had Shai **7th - Dame/KD/Brunson/Kuzma/Mobley** - Fell out of the top 5 of the draft and started experimenting with going all out firepower and it didn't work at all **3rd - Shai/Trae/Bam/Lopez** - Team was slightly too well rounded and just got destroyed by injuries down the stretch, carried hard by Rozier/MilesBridges/Bogdan/Grayson **1st - Haliburton/DMitch/Zion/Banchero/Scottie/Ingram/McCollum** - Ran laps around everyone in the draft, and despite the terrible slumps from Hali and Spida + Ingram/Scottie injuries, there was just too much value left on my roster, other dude also had Shai again **1st - Giannis/Sabonis/Porzingis/McCollum/Rozier** - Finals opponent had Kawhi, I picked up almost every single undrafted gem like Naz Reid, Hartenstein, Dosunmu, DiVincenzo, Kuminga.
3 peat in a 14 team league . LFG
Thought I won it by .5 only to have it stat corrected four hours later to a 1.5 point loss :(
Picked up Giggidy and Jalen Green off waivers 2 weeks before the finals and the rest is history.
Been in a league 16 years. We take it very seriously. Won my second title. Last title was 2009 so long drought. Luka, AD, Porzingis, Deni Advija and Josh Giddey the MVPs.
Cant believe I won one of my leagues with all the injuries/sitting out this week. Shoutout to Rui and Naz for playing out of their minds in the last game of the week.
Yahoo Public League champs let's put that shit on
Lads we made it, lost embiid but Dominayton for the win
12 team Points league. Started 2-6 but finished on a 10-2 run was able to sneak into the playoffs as the six seed. The team with Embiid made to the finals which really freaked me out but clinched it Sunday when he sat out. Drafted Players: Sabonis Trae Young Dejounte Murray Deandre Ayton Josh Giddey Franz Wagner Clutch Mid season waivers: Collin Sexton Keegan Murray Kelly Olynyk Herb Jones
Waiver guys appreciation: Dennis, Lunch Lady, JJ, Banton, Miller 🤝 Also, trade deadline DLo for rewarding patience
Won by a solid 600 points, only a 6 player league and I had Wemby (:
I retired last year so I decided to give it a try. My first draft was so much fun that I drafted 14 teams in the end. I won 5, finished 2nd in 5, 3rd in 3, and 5th in the last league. I snapped up Jalen Johnson in every one of them early, but after that it was a mixed bag. One team went into the finals with 8 undrafted players from the waiver wire and no stars thanks to injuries. Another had 5 top 25 players. My best team finished 3rd. It was undefeated in the regular season, and they weren’t even close. Even in the couple of 5-4 weeks, it dominated the 5 categories it won. Then it lost the semifinal BADLY, only to win the 3rd place game 8-1. 10/10 I will play again next year. On to baseball.
FIRST CHAMP HERE. In a dynasty league and I did it against a guy I’m with in 2 leagues it was truly a poetic run for me. Giannis, bron, bam was my big 3. I had mitchrob and mark Williams go down but I still pulled it out.
Big thanks to Sabonis, Derozan, J. Allen, Gobert and Murray, carried me all the way to the top, also big thanks to Bane and Jalen Johnson, what a studs, if injuries werent there i would probably win without streamers with them two
Finally won my 16 team dynasty league. My studs were pretty much injured (KAT, SGA, Embiid, Bane) but shout out to guys like Poole, Banton, Micic, Trent Jr, Hachimura. They pulled through for me!
Jokic owner. Won FG% by .005. We did it baby!!
19-0 : )
AD, my fantasy MVP
Started 1st seed, finished winning the finals 7-2. 10T H2H. Had Curry, Mitchell, Harden, Irving, Rozier, Porzingod. Then I made really solid pickups all year. JJ, Deni the Wizard, IHart, Coby White and Playoff lunch lady.
Woke up to see I won my matchup even though my opponent had everyone healthy all week and In the last 2 weeks I lost sengun, kawhi, SGA, vassel. LFGGGGG
I would like to thank Luka, Zion, Jalen Green and Jalen Johnson for handling business at the right time. Took me to the promised land.
Thank you to whoever poked AD in the eye. You won me my season!
Won by 12 points. His AD went down while my naz Reid and gobert decided to go stupid on him.
1st win ever in my dynasty league 🥳 god bless Wembanyama
First time playing fantasy and came in third…pretty damn happy.
Drafted Wemby Zion Chet Maxey Brunson as my top five. Was second place all year. Just beat the frontrunner by 3 steals.
14T 9-Cat. Was first seed, I won in the end by one block. The guy that had Wemby and Luka fell early on, he would've beat all of us in any scenario if he got out of the first round. Top 3 - Hali, PG, KAT - not stellar by any means, but they stayed healthy-ish (until KAT at the end) Maxey, Gafford, Quickley, and a trade for Giddey mid-allegation are who I can thank the most. My team overall had balance. High %'s, low TO's, strong in niche categories as I got players who were like all averaging at least one steal or block a game
7-2. It wasn’t even close. Kawhi, OG, and Cam Johnson, Myles Turner were injured. Nick Richards and Tatum were out. Traded for Jokic. Gave Maxey (drafted in the 6th Round), Towns, Ingram, and JJJ. Got JJJ (wasn’t doing good efficiently) + Sengun from giving CJ Mccollum (had a great start in the season) + Markkannen Traded for AD when Sengun was popping off. Packaged White and Bogdanovic to make it happen. Traded Valanciunas to get Klay when no one wanted him. Traded Hartenstein (waiver) + Smart + Saddiq Bey because he got injured for Quickley + Portis Traded Precious, Russell, and Wiggins for Fox. This was when Precious and Russell were popping off. Got Grant Williams Naz Reid, Oubre, and Draymond in the waivers when they were inconsistent/suspended. Embiid and Towns being out for the season boosted their value and Green started playing well starting week 20. Lost Scottie (5th round) + Ja (7th Round pick). Haliburton (1st Round) was the only one that was in my team. Made some stupid trades like (Steven Adams) and regretting ones I rejected like (Morant).
No clue how I won. Still in shock. 5th seed in a 12 team weekly h2h league with a 11-8 record. Made it all the way to the championship and ended up squeaking by with a 9 point win against the 1 seed with a 16-3 record! Everything seemed to go wrong at the worst time. Draymond ejection/injury, amen thompson ejection, jaren jackson injury, tatum out. However, still managed to pull of the win with this team: Mike Conley , Terry Rozier , Amen Thompson , Fred VanVleet , Paolo Banchero , Draymond Green , Pascal Siakam , Jayson Tatum , Jaren Jackson , Russell Westbrook. The other team: Cade Cunningham, De'Aaron Fox, T.J. McConnell, Jalen Suggs, Giannis Antetokounmpo, DeMar DeRozan, De'Andre Hunter, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Marvin Bagley, Rui Hachimura
I won 5-4. It was so close and went down to the Lakers game. Naz Reid won FG% for me!! The guy with Wemby didn't make the playoffs. Brunson was so good this year. KD and Tatum were my top 2 picks :)
I was tied with Ant being my last player. I won by 1 rebound all thanks to Ant's one rebound game. Luckily I would've won the tiebreaker https://i.imgur.com/Bh4Wd9W.png https://i.imgur.com/gZs7yz3.png
LFG! Won with FVV, Booker, Cam Thomas, Herro, Wemby, Bogdanivic, Ayton, Banton, and Embiid. Thought I was cooked when Jalen Williams and Kawhi were both out. Our league is sleeper game pick
Took Chet last year in the 14th round of 9C12T as a keeper. He took up my IL slot all year and I came in 8th. I came in first, but almost lost in the finals. My opponent didn't have Jokic or Wemby (neither did I for that matter).
I wish I could be a part of this . Congrats to everyone who grinder for the Chip. I lost too many valuable players who I couldn’t drop JJJ , SGA who was solid until the end and opponent had Hali who bailed out of his mind this year.
Just won a public league where I missed the draft (didn’t realized I had signed up) and auto drafted kyrie first, sabonis second, Murray third, Jaylen brown fourth, Jarrett Allen fifth and sengun sixth. Picked up all the waiver wire hero’s, coby white, Jalen johnson, Ayo. League has 3 diamond players. I should be diamond after this win. Total record for the year is two first place finishes and one second.
Wemby the god!
Won in 2/3 leagues, should've been 3rd in the other, but between JJJ and losing Kawhi and Jdub I had no chance against my opponent's full, healthy roster, I was down too many games. I had AD in one league and Kyrie/Fox/Derozan in my other.
Points league 10T and I was the last pick. Sabonis, Lebron mostly carried me. Then I had a ton of solid mid tier guys, almost no bums, PG, Duren, McCollum, Garland, Ingram. Cody White, Cam Thomas, Grayson Allen were huge mid season pickups for me. Got some injury help of course. And Lebron getting IL+ gave me free streamers every week. Overall pumped to win my first chip!
12 team...went all guard to start draft with Luka, Brunson, Kyrie, got a steal with Kawhi, and got Allen and Lopez as late Cs. Finals opponent had Wemby, Fox, Durant, DWhite, Adebayo, Vucevic, Giddy, Mimic...picking up Blanton, Drummond, and Strus helped Mr pull it off 5-4, sweating out Wemby going OT.
Got the chip back after not winning for 4 years, had previously won 3 in a row before this. Lost a final and 2 semis in that span but finally got the chip back. Had my best ever season with 18 W and 2 L in the regular season. 12 team league. Drafted Tatum #4 but won’t be doing that again, he was very disappointing in my points league, even resting on the last day. Lost Barnes, Towns, Bane & Randle during the season too but CJ, J.Johnson carried me. Risks such as Bridges and D Lo paid off, while Olynyk and Vukecvic made good finals pick ups.
10T points only one active on wires so i was able to overpay on buy-lows team consisted of -donovan mitchell -tyrese maxey -jimmy butler -giannis -AD -tatum -ant -gobert -josh hart most ridiculous team i've ever had lol
Jokic and friends
Having 2nd last pick in 12T, had to roll the dice on injury prone players....AD & KD. Who knew they were going to be durable :) Champ baby!\~
I won because LeBron sat, let’s goooooo! Shoutout to Naz Reid too
Drafted: 1-3 KD,AD,Wemby, Harden 5th round and Miles bridges in the 12th round Congrats to the champs out there!!
I won 9 cat with Shai (last week was stressful as fuck but I pulled through). Some clutch pickups I made are Coby white and Donte.
Who knew KD and AD would end of being some of the most reliable players the entire season and the in the playoffs lol
2nd year playing fantasy, 2nd year going to the championship, and finally got my first chip! MVP Sabonis aka Mr. Reliable
Won my points league after going 10-10 in the regular season. Joker led the way all season, dejounte gave me the post season push, got a steal on Chet at 61, and survived my Lamelo pick too. Feeling real proud after a hard fought season.
WON AS A 4TH SEED WITH ONLY 2 CENTERS AND 10 GUARDS Haliburton Cunningham Ant PG13 VanVleet Devin Vassell before injury I went all in on the guard cats from the beginning and by the end of the season no one could touch me in 3s, FT%, assists, or steals. Id stream based on my opponent to pick up the last cat. Not the easiest strat but it did the job. I love my short kings.
Won my comp with a 4-4 draw, clawed back points to win the 4th cat by 16 points in total. Finished the year 103-46-3 and played the finals against his jokic and Irving without my SGA. Would say the winning moment for my was trading away lamelo and Duncan Robinson for FVV and OG, the. Flipping Scottie Barnes into Trae and sabonis. Draft day steals in Derrick white and Jalen Duren were also big for me, and a huge end of year by green
i lost with wemby because middleton bane amen tobias steph kawhi happened😔
Giannis AD Derozan McColllum Irving Vassell and Randle RIP brought me the chip. Got Coby white and Quickley off waivers
16T Keeper league, have finished top 4 consistently which has meant that I’ve kept Jaylen Brown 3 years in a row. Felt like I needed a keeper and swung on Brunson, Wemby and Chet with picks 1, 2 and 3. Traded picks 5 and 8 for Dejounte Murray part way through the season when he was slumping and while I arguably lost the trade, it allowed me to have solid streams through the season. The boys really stepped it up in the playoffs, was a strong 5-4 win.
Just won my first year playing in a 10T PTS league. Basically cake walked the finals with 1800 pts My team had Luka, Wemby, PG, Harden, Jimmy, Demar, Coby, Ayton. Shoutout to divincenzo and Coby for being great waivers.
Out of my 3 teams two made it to the finals. The first matchup wasn't even close and I won 7-2. The second went down to the wire and I was only up a few points, rebounds, and blocks while my opponent still had AD starting. It was looking rough for me. Kyle Anderson was looking out for me though.
🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️ Jokic & Bron carried my entire team
Bazley's block with 1-minute left in the Jazz-Warriors game put me up in the category and won me the ship 5-4.
Jokic Kyrie Dearron Fox Paolo Banchero Mikal Bridges Hartenstein Evan Mobley CJ McCollum Klay T. Giddey Won draft night, didn't mess it up along the way. First 3x champ in our league, about 10 years in. Let's go boys, congrats to my fellow Champs 🏆!
Turns out picking jokic first is a solid strategy
I threw my last regular season week for favourable playoff seeding. Annihilated my first playoff week. Won my second week by 1 in a points league and then in the final week just crushed the Mickey Mouse run from the other side of the bracket
