If you had told me a week ago that dBKC was going to win the whole thing and pexetera was going to fall out of the top 3 I would have said you were crazy. kinoa1 still probably has to be the favorite, but legitimate possibly that it's dB now.

I did predict that pex's teams would have more trouble in the playoffs than the regular season. I did say Harden was a great pick.

I didn't see either of these things happening quite as extremely as they did. Two of my top three original predictions are still alive (dh555, kinoa, ben) but it really does look like kinoa is going full beast mode atm.

Whoa there, Nostradamus. You predicted I'd have more trouble in the playoffs once owners figured out how to play defense against my teams. Except I just beat gerry's team 4-1 and he was playing me -2 defense. And I was up 3-1 on Kinoa's team in world 3 and he was playing me -3 defense. He didn't come back and win until he started playing 4 of his starters 48 mpg from game 5. Maybe that was the reason he won, and not the defensive scheme.

That's basically your interpretation of one thing I said. There were (and are) other reasons why I believe your teams will have less success in the playoffs, I'm just not broadcasting them.

Congrats to Ben

I'm quite happy with the success of my teams, both in the regular season and in the playoffs. 4 teams with first round bye. 3 teams into conference finals. I'd take that any season.

kinoa punches 2 tickets to the finals, pex down to 1 finals team, copernicus out. all eyes on world 1 as ben tries to get a 2nd team in, and jcred and dh battle for the last spot. looks like we're going to have a staggered finals after all. depending on how many games each finals last, we'll know the results from worlds 2 & 4 first, world's 3 & 5 second, and world 1 last. It should build suspense to the last moment. much better this way

ben and dBKC need 1 more finals win than pex to reach 2nd place, and 1 more finals win than kinoa plus additional wins to reach 1st. pex needs kinoa to get shut out of a finals win to have a shot at the podium. kinoa just has to be kinoa

Finals begin today.
