And 3 of us went PON, managing to avoid the dreaded PON upset as a home team.

3 of the 9 voters who predicted "Other" in my playoff prediction pool are already proven wrong! I'm not sure if they were over-confident playoff teams voting for themselves or what. Regardless, the league heavily favors Stark Contrast to take home the banner. They have home court throughout the playoffs but run up against the highest salary team (ETBU) in the semifinals.

We should have a good semifinal matchup to Tar Team. I beat you in the Cup quarterfinals but then you beat me on my home floor a couple weeks ago to secure the #1 seed. I'm hoping that game doesn't come back to bite me given I now have to win on the road to get to the finals...

Top 3 MVP :
1- Quentin Laperche (Visionaries) 188 points
2- Lyle Feaster (ETBU Tigers) 112 points
3- Jackie Wheatley (TarTeam) 101 points

This seems quite logical when you look at the individual statistics and team rankings.

Second NBBA MVP for Laperche but he doesn't FEEL so amazing to me somehow. 18ppg that I never notice but I guess it does make him near or on the leaderboards for all the main counting stats. Wonder how much longer he'll be on my team as so many factors conspire over and over again to give me reasons to keep him around despite feeling like the salary isn't quite worth it.

Also I would hazard a guess my 13-9 finish is one of the worst W/L ever for an MVP's team.

Very entertaining reading, thanks for your effort and dedication! Belated congratulations to Wahoowa with the Tournament title! (I only lost to him by 2 points a few rounds earlier, and he beat Splash Gang by 8 in the finale, so that means, in some alternate reality, I hire the right PR guy for a neutral court, foul his big man out as we go into OT and then pull off the upset, sneak past Flashover so that I can lose to Splash Gang by like 35-40 points.) I'm relieved to be sticking around another season, but sad to see Mos Eisley go, we had a friendly cross-division race for best record last season. I almost bid against him for Fry when Humanfund put him up and I doubt he'll be in D2 for long. None of my picks made the Fnals so good luck to the guy from our side and that other team. I didn't get a pop on a guy I need to sell to make my salaries work next season, but at least I have a few weeks to figure it out before everyone is geared back up again.

edit: @Azariah, sorry about the injury to the trainee, but at least on the "bright" side I think they heal at the reset if it was going to be a longer one.
