Look at this battle we have going here. Player averages are just about identical. Nathan pulled away from Kapper for the time being though. But looks like Kapper will close the gap once again tonight. These 2 keep going back and forth but not in the way Kapper would like. This back and forth is Kapper goes down big but then brings it back to a close match the next day. Will he be able to take the lead on one of these days coming up? I am sure he has Nate sweating it out.

Dalton appears to be walking away with this match. But it is never over. Keep going after him Danny. Its not unheard of to catch up when being down 124, its just highly unlikely is all. But Dalton is a tough guy to beat.

I totally get how people dont care about the losers brackets. I really do get it. That is why i offered up 4 extra lottery tickets, try to make it bit more interesting. But it appears Gher is only one setting his lineup. So keep it up Chris and I am sure you will get 7th place and the 4 extra tickets.

If Kapper can blow through my projections like he did last night then this match could stay super close after Wednesdays games. But right now Nate is up 3 and has full lineup to Kappers 6. If Gallinari does indeed play, we expect Kapper to drop Rivers and add the European into the lineup. That would net Kapper with a additional 17 projection on the night. But for my projection. I see Nate having a big night and possibly going into the 400s after just 3 days.

Projected Score

Danny left a guy on the bench last night. But he only scored 3 points. But lets hope this does not keep happening. We have seen this twice now. But Dalton on the other hand is kicking some ass. Scoring 312 after just 2 days. There is a reason Dalton has been a top notch owner all year. And he is showing his skills in the playoffs. Getting a massive amount of plays while making key acquisitions. Danny has his hands full the rest of the week if he wants to battle back for a chance at the semi finals. But he has the team to do it. I expect a big night out of Danny's lineup.

What a start for Nathan in the playoffs! 172 and up 136 after just one day. Kapper did not have many guys playing so we understand him being down after one day. But 136 is quite the hole to dig out of. But from the looks of things, there plays will be back and forth most the week. So lets see how close Kapper gets it tonight. My projections say he will be down only 38 after tonight.

Dalton is projected 300 after 2 days. So I understand how Danny could have trouble keeping up with that high volume of points and plays. Dalton all year has been able to out play his opponent. And I do mean, out play his opponent. He always has more plays then the other guy leaving him self with a larger chance of winning. But Danny's team is capable of high player averages. So we wont call this a win just yet for Dalton. Lets wait a few days and see how close Danny can get.

Winning is not a sometime thing, it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in awhile, you do them right all of the time. Winning is a habit (Vince Lombardi). That is exactly what you did to get to the playoffs. You WON and you Won a lot. The playoffs are reserved for only the best of the best. So if your reading this and your one of those playoff teams. Then congrats!!! ITS PLAYOFF TIME GENTLEMAN!

It has been another great season. Some records fell and some still stand. But one thing has been the same for the last 3 years. That is, that the 6 seed is always 10-10. 
The Dream Crushers were the top team pretty much all year and they look to be the team to beat in the playoffs, so makes since for them to be our #1 seed. 
Matt battled all year to get the 2 seed and it came down to week 20 for him to get it. He kind of had a end of the season slump but lucky for him, he still got the 2 seed.
Kapper has been a top team all year. Know one liked playing his team. With a draft like he had its hard to think he wouldn't be a top team.
Dalton has scored the second most points and had the second most points scored against him. That to me is kind of nuts. He has a good team but his GM skills are top notch. Tough team to beat!
Danny has a team set to make the championship. But being a 5 seed he will have to go through Kapper and then Ritter. Sounds like the toughest road of anyone.

This is the last day before the playoffs and we have not had much excitement this week. Matt looks like he has Dalton in the bag. Gher is beating Kapper at moment but looks like Kapper will take the win based on projections. And it looks like Matt will be the 2 seed as he looks to be outscoring Kapper on the week. Danny got super lucky that Todd lost interest in the season. Not using one acquisition to try and get the win. Wish more owners would take a tip from Gher. He is trying until the bitter end while Eric and Todd gave up after week 18, FUCK BASEBALL SEASON, its still basketball season. 
The Dream Crushers broke the record for most triple doubles in a week. So far they have one triple double each day this week. I went to bed last night with 3 seconds to go in the Rockets game and Harden had 9 rebounds. I woke up and he had a triple double lol yaaaa. He got a rebound in last 3 seconds of game.
