Too bad, dh. Sounds like you had a better thing going than I did. I ended up feeling lucky to make any kind of playoff appearance.

Any other candidate's team still alive in that league?

over in 33714, nc's survived back-to-back game 7s and is in the championship. Good news for him is that his opponent has also survived back-to-back game 7s. Should be a tough series.
5/26/2010 8:04 PM
Sounds like nc has the first real shot at pulling this off. Glad to see it's at least plausible. Who's he facing in the finals?
5/26/2010 8:58 PM
emarvel something... it's abrondon. I don't think he has a shot, honestly, but I don't know how fatigue has affected each team.
5/26/2010 9:01 PM
Ah. abrondon was one of my earliest WIS mentors. He only runs a team once in a blue moon, but when he does he has as good a shot at winning as anyone.
5/26/2010 9:14 PM
he's actually been playing under different user names. This emarvel team is amazing. It has only one very small weakness, and if nc can figure out what that is, and the sim doesn't take a huge crap on him, and if fatigue is not a big factor, then he can win.

It looks like emarvel (abrondon) will win the league im in. I need to make some tweaks if I try this again. Emarvel has shown that you can win an OL with a good defensive team. His starters have defensive ratings of 95, 95, 93, 92, 77 and his opponents FG% was the lowest in the league during the regular season.
5/28/2010 5:18 PM
Yeah, but he didn't lack for offense... More important than his defense was his rebounding and his 3-point shooting.

He out rebounded his opponent by almost 12 per game (had almost 20 offensive boards a game) while launching 25 3papg at a 43% make rate.
5/28/2010 8:23 PM
Looks like emarvel got that title, but nc got farther than any of the rest of us so far.

I'm convinced it's possible to win an OL title with 250 3PMs or fewer - but very difficult.
5/29/2010 12:38 PM
Yeah, he did. What's amazing is that he won 73 games in a division with a 65-win team (almost half his losses came to that one), another 50+ win team, and even 6th place didn't have less than 20 wins. The other division in our conference was loaded, too (though it did have an 0-82 team, but that was only 3 wins for us vs 8 for them).


I stick to what I said prior to this challenge... I don't think anybody would be able to win more than one out of every five attempts.
5/29/2010 1:48 PM
I'm giving this another shot before the upcoming update. I'll post the roster and who is in the league after the schedule is generated.
