It's been said before, even by me on this page ... nevertheless, now that we are near the end of the season, I'd like to stress it again:
Thanks to all the other managers, this has been the most fun I've ever had in a fantasy game. It's been so much fun, that I've never been more disappointed by a loss than last week, which somehow is a lot of fun.
(On a sidenote: I do think the reshuffling of play-off seeding, which had me playing first the nr 1 and the next week the nr 2 might be changed, as it would have made me, if I'd won as a nr. 8 seed last week, play the three best teams in a row, while the other finalist has an relatively easy road to the finals, probably is just me being (again) a bad and sour loser).
Before this league I've only played in public (roto) leagues consisting of 10 teams (without turnovers), where normally you only have a few active players, and usually not very good ones at that. This has been a real struggle, which was a real joy. I had to totally re-wire my team, but that went better than I ever expected and had me putting a lot of work analyzing, going from one of the worst 3pt, fg% and to teams to one of the best and making my team competitive in almost any match-up (with my worst projected matchup continually being Drizz as he had the best change of beating me in both % cats (which in my opinion were crucial in most of my projected match-ups).
As not a lot of you guys noticed, I almost pulled of, what I think would have been the trade day of the century in RR's basketball keeper league, as at one point I thought I would succeed in getting both Lebron and Durant at the same day; that would have been something, would have to gut my roster to make that happen, but how about going into next seasons draft with the top 2 players for $ 60!(!!!) (!!!!!!) (and I trust my waiver-wire work to have given me lots of chances this year).
As I (hopingly) predicted in my post about the Walkers: pick-up of the year did indeed become Isaiah Thomas (imo). In the last 30 days he's averaged 16 pts (49% field, 77,6% ft) 3,5 rebounds, 5,4 assists, 1,2 steals, 2,2 turnovers and he has been pretty consistent.
The only downsite playing from Europe against you North-Americans (you know, 'those kind of people') is me missing some information just before the games are played and not being able to adjust my line-up just because I'm usually (on nights before workdays) in bed when the games start; that hurt me a couple of times.
Overall: it's been more than great; the best thing about joining this forum. Hopefully next year we'll have a similar bunch of dedicated managers!
On a last note: thanks Apollo for setting this up, you are now one of my ten most favorite admins on here
