Our series was a lot closer than the final score indicated, and it was certainly one of the toughest ones I've ever competed in. On paper, I'm pretty sure that you had a better team than me, which is why I had to resort to platooning in semi-decent players and scrubs on a day to day basis, and the only reason I think I beat you was because I started utilizing that desperate expedient a day or two before you did. Congrats on fielding a great team, and have a great one, Ummmm OK. I already can't wait until the next draft, and I look forward to battling with you again next season

After knocking me out in the semi-finals of one of my leagues and the finals of the other Evil is my new nemisis.

You came within a razor's edge of knocking me out in both of those series ...

I'm gonna have to play with you guys next year. I tried having a league with some rl friends but they're all idiots and they ended up ruining the league by making awful trades and stuff half way through.

You definitely should, FluidFortyOne. We've been running these D-M leagues for quite a few years now, and they are always very active and very competitive, but you can never have enough good, active managers in any league..

You should play next year, MavsX. In my opinion, fantasy BBall is a lot of fun, it really doesn't take much time, and it's a game that is very easy for any informed NBA fan who has never played before to pick up very quickly. Plus, the bragging rights and trophies that you earn by winning and placing in our traditional D-M.com leagues never go away on your Yahoo profile ...

We may have to get 3 d-m.com leagues up next year.
Of course, people are around the board a lot now. In September and October, there's never anyone here.

I thought I had ya, until you started dropping your whole roster every single day. This is only my second time playing fantasy basketball, so you got me by a veteran move. Very well played.
I had a pretty decent team, one of my biggest problem is, I had too many players on teams that had nothing to win to keep playing their starters before playoffs.
Next year, maybe I can take the great EVIL. Have a good one.

I've always felt like they should end fantasy seasons three or four weeks earlier. There usually isn't much movement in the standings after the first couple of months and too many strange things happen the last couple of weeks of the year. Most of the time it's not at all representative of how the season went. The close race in the West kept a lot of those teams honest but that was more of an anomaly than anything.
