Yeah but I mean regular season rank. It usually ends up being much different from preseason.

I'm in the #1 hardest division (as of right now) in three worlds and #2 (iirc) in the other two. I think. I haven't looked at shared conferences or anything yet. Just waiting on game 71 to finish to find out for sure.

Correct, I was talking about regular season rank.

The difference in division strength between 22 and 21 is as big as the gap between 21 and 12.

The difference in division strength between 23 and 21 is as big as the gap between 21 and 4.

The difference in division strength between 24 and 21 is as big as the gap between 21 and.................. 2.

The distribution from 1-21 is pretty normal. It is just that bottom three with massive chasms really.

Where am I? 23?

Yes

I'll post some summaries at the end of the season.

Wooooow. RIP my team.

My working theory is these posts are the evolutionary QLST!

On that note Ben is starting to separate….

Nah, my teams just really suck and they were on a god awful stretch. I went from first to -10 in like 5 cycles. It was brutal. It just isn't my season. I predicted like 6-8/7-9 end of the season ranking and that still feels about right. There is really max one team that even has a remote chance of getting out of the second round.

It's not superstition, it's math.

Ben is like -500 to win. raggedclaws, dBKC, dh555, jcred5 are probably the clear front runners to round out the top 5. ash and Midge would be my dark horses if they get enough playoff teams in.

I still have an outside shot at all 5 teams or at least possibly 4 making the playoffs. 2 byes and 2 50+ win teams. With that said I’m sure you’re right that I don’t have a real shot at top 5. My teams always tank in the playoffs and I’m sure this will be no different based off how they’re built. Last time I had the number 1 overall seed in a world that team didn’t win a playoff game. Hoping appeal to reason can at least do better than that. I’d be very happy with top 10 and somewhere deep in my sole I still think I can win it all.

That would be no mean feet.

Lol. I’d say one day I’ll learn but that’s not true.

I would like to take this moment to do the following:

Dearest Rob,

I am sorry. I am sorry for drafting Rajon Rondo AGAIN in Savage despite your obvious displeasure that I drafted him in Savage XII. I took him because I thought I needed his passing and defense while ignoring that he turns it over more than a pornstar in 200+ person gang bang.

This will never happen again when I come back for Savage XV since we can all assume I am getting relegated for Savage XIV. I have made significant changes to all of my lineups to remove his Draymond Green like turnover % from the majority of my lineups. I am currently working on lining Rondo and Boerwinkle up in such a way that I can eliminate them both with one bullet. The PB&J engineering team is trying to determine if Rondo should stand on a milk crate or if we should put Boerwinkle in a small hand-dug hole in the ground to achieve this. There has also been talk of aluminum bats ala Casino.

At any rate, my ignorance has been my undoing. Please file this in the appropriate location.

Best Wishes,

Eric
CEO PB&J Enterprises

Between being league best in possession differential, solid at rebounding, and second-worst in EFG, I must be a contender for most missed shots of all time. What a weird bunch of teams.

Forgive my Celtics/NBA rant for a second, but I have to vent somewhere. The NBA isabunchofpussies these days. Tatum is going for a dunk and some nobody named Cam Whitmore fouls him on the arm and Tatum takes a bad fall and there's no call. Fine. Tatum is complaining to the ref, gets his second T and is tossed out. As Tatum is leaving the floor Whitmore is following him off the court clapping and giving the finger swirl to check the reply. That was several minutes ago and there is no retaliation. Someone needs to club that B like a baby seal. Where have the Charles Oakley days gone - bunch of softies. Ridiculous

Can't let a rookie do that to your top guy, but Horford and Porzingis are closer to Jason Kapono than Oakley. Oakley was a treasure
