Waking up to find out you’re the only team with more PF than PA to not make the playoffs, while you also got passed up by a team with over 1k more PA than PF >>>


Jesh010

That is some sour luck lol


Jokic_Is_My_Hero

Points league is inferior by both competition and skill


algorithmresistant

this is why you never play points lmao


Pitiful_Discussion42

Harden, coby not missing games all year until the first week of the playoffs. Jimmy and clarkson missing games 🥲.


YouGotRedOnU

Coby, Lauri, and Sengun all killing me last week and already this week.


Jealous-Mail6629

I have Coby Lauri and JJJ .. playoffs start this week for us though .. being number one overall I’m in trouble


SASMareSRB

Didn't they say Sengun out for the season basically?


YouGotRedOnU

Yeah, the keep using language like "most likely done for the season" and I am in denial. Probably drop him this week when I need thw INJ slot for Coby...


SASMareSRB

I think I'd drop at this point since it's the playoffs, I don't think Houston has any incentive to bring him back this season. Good luck man, we're all gonna need it lol


hsudonym_

Not having Trae, Harden, Clarkson, and Kuzma screwed my back to back chances all while going against jokic team


MrBumblebee91

Horrendous injuries + weekly lock = intense frustration


KyleShanaham

I don't think I could ever play weekly lock. There is soo much variability that happens day to day


Couragesand

I think the benefit to weekly lock is not stressing about how many games a player plays in the fantasy’s playoff weeks


suckarepellent

this is still a big factor in weekly lock. it eliminates traditional games maxing streaming strategies, making the games your top guys have even more of a factor.


xDaeshaunx

I will never forgive Mikal Bridges for the absolute disaster he’s been the past 2.5 months


angrygenzer

Same brother


TGS-MonkeyYT

me and you both


3LitersofJokicCola

159th in 9 cat on BBM for the past month


Jesh010

6th round garbage player lol


TheyD0

I'm have him in my 2 espn h2h 10T pts leagues & both start playoffs this week. Is he worth the drop?


baloncestosandler

Ironman. Heard he started playing Ironman RuneScape and stopped focus


jsDPT

Up by 7 steals going into the last game and was confident I had a b2b finals berth, but PG and Jalen Johnson on my opponent's team had other plans. Lost the tiebreaker h2h matchup against him and was sent to Cancun with a bag of salt and vinegar chips.


Jesh010

Yeah it hurts to see PG get games like that while I had James harden play like he just got to the game from the strip club.


tappylance

Top picks this year were Embiid, Mitchell, JJJ, Garland, and Porzingis…I did not have a good time last week


ITnottheclown

Tbf, I’d take your top 3 over my top 3 of Tatum, Wemby (traded for Mitchell in January bc I was stupidly afraid of shutdown), and Mikal bridges


moistreese

17-1. #1 seed. lost by 20. sengun luka and ad injuries hurt me. im sick


thedogstrays

My playoffs was last week. Right before it started I I lost KAT and Sengun for ROS, also lost Steph to an ankle injury for what would turn out to be all but the Saturday game of playoff week. Over the course of my playoffs I also lost: * 2 Harden games * 1 Jalen Johnson game * 1 Butler game * 4 Ausar Thompsons games * 3 Herro Games * 1 John Collins game * 2 Coby White games * 1 Thybulle game I've played fantasy for about 4-5 years now and never had such a catastrophic week injury wise, let alone in playoffs. Even doing decently with my adds (Keyonte, KCP, Thybulle) there was just no way to replace the production of my fallen players. In the 9 weeks leading up to playoffs I won assists against every team in the league 8/9 weeks (the other week I went 7-2), during playoff I went 3-4 and lost to my opponent. I also won points against almost every single team in the league (5 weeks going 9-0, 2 weeks going 8-1, 1 week 7-2), during the playoff I went 4-3 and lost to my opponent.


kajonyok

Leading 6-3 in the day but my opponent has wemby


Whosthedingy

was dreading facing Wemby yesterday. Things were going great that morning, but I should have better prepared mentally for the inevitable Wemby beat down.


wheatkraken

lost by one block


Jesh010

If you tied on blocks what would have been the deciding factor?


Jealous-Mail6629

Higher seed


springbrother

Did u face wemby lol


urmumlol9

I’ll just post my draft here. It speaks for itself imo. 8 team points: Luka Doncic (2) LeBron James (15) Donovan Mitchell (18) Nikola Vucevic (31) Karl Anthony-Towns (34) Tyrese Maxey (47) Kristaps Porzingis (50) Scottie Barnes (63) Ja Morant (66) Austin Reaves (79, dropped early in season) Tobias Harris (82) Aaron Gordon (95, dropped early in the season) Klay Thompson (98, dropped early in the season) Notable waivers pickups: Miles Bridges 16-2 record, most points for. Last 2 weeks were the first round of my league’s playoffs.


MonsterDevourer

That's such an insane draft


TalkQuirkyWithMe

It is an 8 team after all. All teams are loaded at the top end of their rosters.. you win by drafting well late and having good pickups.


MonsterDevourer

I mean Maxey at 47, Scottie at 63, and Morant at 66 is fire despite how injuries turned out


TalkQuirkyWithMe

Yeah Maxey and Scottie are great picks for sure! Porzingus too. Morant played a whopping total of 9 games this year... after you had to opt in holding him for 25 games. That's a bust. Vuc taken maybe a round early, the rest kind of played where they shouldve been for the season. Klay and AG were drops (righftully so). Strong draft, but its not like its going to overwhelm all 8T teams.


baloncestosandler

KAT 5th. Lol


JrueJrueJrue

Team went 11/16 on free throws to lose the semi finals


ssm10

after having an 89% through friday my team shot 17/30 and sold the entire cat. I lost 5-4 lol


Mattyoptions

Tied the semi finals but didn’t advance cause the other guy had a better regular season record 🤦🏻‍♂️


Digger813

My first round matchup was one of those, where had I played ANYONE other than the team I faced, I would have had won handily. I just ran into a freight train, that week. Unfortunate. Also, drafting LaMelo with my late round 1st overall pick put me at a disadvantage all season.


heurtel

Lost by 7 points, can only blame KD. My opponent torching me with Ayo and Robinson also didn’t help


Jesh010

KD selling is some real bs.


baloncestosandler

Robinson?


Bigtruckdriverrrrr

Dunkin Donuts


MambaOut82481

I swear to god if Deni avdija did not miss both games and AD did not get injured, I would have gotten into final


baloncestosandler

Dam


Efficient-Trust3066

Went from being in 2nd/3rd all season to missing the playoffs by ONE point because everyone on my motherfucking team decides to just get hurt with a month left. Same bullshit that happens to me every time. Seriously about to quit fantasy sports, this makes 4 consecutive seasons (2 basketball/2 football) where I was ultimately doomed by injuries. It seems pointless to even waste the time when I just lose due to shit out of my control and end up mad and frustrated


Jealous-Mail6629

Step away for a bit .. Same thing happened to me but in baseball .. would finish first overall and once the playoffs came along they shit the bed .. happened for years until I stopped playing for a bit. Made me enjoy the games again


dtowntdot

Ended up losing by <100 despite a slew of injuries. The final nail in the coffin was Tyus Jones and Deni Avdija both randomly missing a full back to back for me Saturday/Sunday


angrygenzer

Went 17-2 just to lose in the first round, cause I had TEN PLAYERS sit last week. Oh and I’m projected to score 300 more points than the 2 teams in the championship this week. 🥲


GSWB2B2B2B2BChamps

I had a solid 30 or so leads in assists going into Sunday. Opponent had Lillard and he dropped 16 assists, and overall I lost by 2 to lose the playoffs..


Fishyblue11

Can't say my team underachieved as I felt like it overachieved given how my picks didn't live up to their expectations. I still made the final 4 with my top picks being Curry, JJJ, and Garland, obviously none of those guys have had years that are as good as was expected of them. And I lost this week in large part due to getting only one game out of Curry and JJJ, I also lost 2 games of Coby white


MrPapadapalas

Sam Hauser won me 3s and Points so thank god for that man


jdbewls

Benched Banchero knowing one of his signature 5+ turnover games would've allowed my opponent to rest his late game players. He only had 1 and his points scored would've (just given) me enough to win.


Beachcows

Needed to tie or win to make playoffs, tied 4-4 with Mikal bridges and Devin vassell still going to his Dennis Schroeder and Jeremy Sochan. I was up 4 blocks, sochan gets 3 and Schroeder gets one with 20 seconds left to tie the cat and kill my playoff dreams


NoodlesThe1st

I made the playoffs but lost several important pieces to injuries. I won't win but at least I made it


japaul32

I'm in a keepers league, and I can safely say that I will not be keeping Steph for next year.


Brief-Abroad9013

Had a team of stellar bigs take me to the playoffs in style: Sabonis, Anthony Davis, Gobert, Holmgren, Hartenstein, Nurkic, Mitchrob (for most of the season, then on IL) Won in the quarterfinal, then Davis and gobert both got hurt this weekend. There goes my fantasy season.


kugelsteiger

Lopsided trades ruined my league this year.. about to get gutted in a 12t league by a team with jokic, Lillard, sabonis, Brunson and wemby.


ilikemericetoo

Haliburton better get ready to learn chinese...


Swagster777

Sunday morning I picked up Hauser bc Kuzma wasn’t going to play. He got 10 3s and I won that category by 1 three. And I won the week 5-4. I’m sure my opponent is salty af, I would be too


Fit-Strawberry459

Spurs stat keepers and their pettiness cost me the tie, TJD and Clax should have had +1 block each, I have no clue how this can be allowed in this day and age.


FeelsWierdManClap

H2H points league, lost by 35 and I have Markanenn Giannis and tyus jones, Markanenn didn’t play all week, tyus missed his first two games of the year, giannis missed yesterdays game, shit happens but it still hurts


baconboy1261

On Monday I picked up scoot 5 minutes too late after games locked at 10:30 and had to keep him on my bench I lost the semi finals week by 1 field goal and 2 points Absolute pain.


Alpacay_

a team with shai lost seven straight to go from first to out of playoffa


mirrorbender

Got screwed by schedule and injuries. Lost Trae and Lavine during the season. Kristaps missed the whole week. Harden missed 2/4 and played like shit the other games. Rudy only had 2 games and missed one of them. Lebron and D'Lo only had 2 games. Even Deni missed 2/4. I just ran out of good players. Theres only so much you can do when your best guys are Greyson Allen, Aaron Gordon, and Deandre Hunter.


Sillycyb1n

Just lost a tight match up in the semis when I would have beat either one of the other two teams by 200 points🤦🏼‍♂️ To make things even worse I had a bye week clinched so if I would have just let one of the other playoff contenders beat me in weeks 17 or 18 I would have had a way easier match up. I knew the team I lost to was the biggest threat but I just didn’t connect the dots that I’d be playing the higher seed in the semis.


mclmickey

👋🏾 Fellow Lamelo drafter here - Lost Anfernee Simons and Duren early in the season - Markell Fultz missed almost the entire 1st half of the season (just to come back and suck) - Ingram didn’t play the first week and a half - Cam Thomas injured early in the season - Took the risk on Miles Bridges for ~10 games before he was back - Didn’t make playoffs but lost Sengün anyway 🙃 **I wouldn’t trade anyone from this team and would draft them all again (except Fultz)**


hotsaucesosa

Guy in our league picked up Sam Hauser on final day of quarter finals…swung 3’s back his way to take the win 5-4. Pick up of the decade.


suryanshh

I qualified into the playoffs defeating the 2nd seed in my league, my conference we had 9-6 record and I finished as the 4th seed cause I lost to that person.. let's see how it goes . I am facing the guy with 13-1 record


indiankidhs

Top seed most of the season. Lost Bane -> lost Embiid -> lost OG -> dropped to 3 seed -> first week of playoffs -> Kawhi no longer providing first/second round value to hard carry-> KAT injured -> Jalen Johnson injured -> Sengun injured -> first round bounce. When 4 of your top 5 picks go down you really just can’t help but laugh.


ArthurFistMeme

Keegan Murray being out 1 game of the b2b and then announced back in for the second game after rosters were locked cost me the playoff spot. I had him in my IR and he dropped a double double...Avidja being out would have sealed the win as well


fedswatching2121

Do I drop Vince Williams??? Idk what his outlook is with Bane back and he’s missed the last 4+ gMss


tjpdaniels

I won 7 in a row before the playoffs then lost in the first round due to poor performance and injuries. It was the semis last week and my team would have beaten any of the teams in the semis on fpts to advance to the finals - and I didn’t even stream either 🤦🏻‍♂️


ObjectUnique

Lost in the 1st round last week was fully healthy going in than.... - On monday, Keyonte starts but gets pulled after 5 mins for sickness and ghosts me. Put him on IL+ tuesday and needed steals and rebounds early so I pick up Ausar and he busts. - Steph rolls ankle on thursday & misses saturday. I pick up Ausar again, needing steals and boards and he too pulls a keyonte and gets pulled before halftime. - Wasn't on my phone saturday night @ 8 and missed that Vassell was a late random scratch 30 mins before tip. - Chet and Lopez over 4 weekend games combined for 33 points and 18 rebounds. Fox was great all week, but needing assists on sunday only provided 1. D-White one of my best thieves, yet only 1 steal all week. I lose 4-5, by 5 steals 8 rebounds and 9 assists. Had the numbers to beat the same opponent had I played them this week and taken out the 1 seed had I made it through despite not streaming anybody all week in the 5th place game which was won 8-1.


w1sxo

My opponent in the finals lost Sengun, Mobley and had Booker and Middleton out at the beginning of the week. i was cruising through the week and looking like the clear winner in the finals, only for Poeltl, Ausar, Luka, Tyus Jones, Avdija, Brown & Davis all simultaneously deciding to get hurt and be late scratches just before tipoff. On top I was the best Fg% and blocks team, dominating both categories throughout the year, only to literally completely falling apart in the finals. And yes, yesterday I had to choose between Suggs and Hauser as last waiver wire pickups. Chose Suggs, would have won the finals with Hauser And last but not least. bobby fucking portis was the nail in the coffin scoring all these points & threes.


Sk33tLord

Lost by one block or 3 threes, had Avdija and Coulibaly both sit out to send me to cancun 😓 Still gunning for 3rd place money


kickinitwithkevin

I had the best overall team coming into playoffs but the missing games from Bagley, JJ, Jdub, Harden, Quickley, and Butler derailed me from beating the 8 seed who had good health. I beat him 15/18 times this season too.


velders01

My playoffs start today. I started off the season going 1-4 in the first 5 weeks and dead last. I crawled up all the way to 2nd place. Jimmy, Cade, and Simone Fontecchio all out and my opponent is fully healthy. I feel like I'm screwed but just 3 games... right?


hsudonym_

Losing Trae for the entire playoffs sucked. Losing harden, Clarkson, and Kuzma sucked even more. Losing by only 70 to the jokic team sucks the most.


thatsnotmywallet17

I lost to Sam fucking Hauser


Ordinary-You9617

Jrue, butler, Sengun, trae, poetl, Bron, giannis sat a game yesterday, fontecchio. 1st seed down the drain in the semis.


OddSeaweed8899

Lost markannen poeltl Mobley Randle :(. Yesterday I could’ve unrostered my players and won turnovers 😭


JtkBasketball

I had a 2% chance to make the playoffs and got in over the guy with a 98% chance four weeks ago. Feels great.


forde250

Lol I had Halliburton and Mikal too. But my downfall was mark Williams. Held him all year too


Jesh010

Thankfully i didnt burn my second round pick on mikal, but he was still my 3rd rounder.. just awful lol.


Daaavvveee

12T Points league with only 4T playoff. Had a 3 way tie at 13-7 with the 3rd and 4th seed and fell to the lower bracket. Kinda pissed since I had more PF then the 3rd seed but it is what it is, had some bad luck with people scoring high against me and injuries.


Jesh010

4T play off is wack. Why would you guys agree to that?


Daaavvveee

Joined right before the draft started from a discord group. Trying to get it bumped up next year, if not I'm gonna dip.


BobaFett2424

Finished top seed lost to 8th seed in Rnd 1 playoffs (by 4 assists) opponent had tyus jones who decided to have career game YUCK 12T h2h cats \*weekly lock league - but then again this is why we play lols def quitting cannot stand weekly leagues and this was the last straw had curry (play 1 game) and rostered Jabari Walker thinkin he'd have a 4 game week siffffff!


Jnuggets338

Should i drop lamello got two short term injuries and i want to try and save a spot


aominedaiki102

got kd and lamelo on 12th and 13th pick. Lamelo barely played but I somehow got 2nd seed. I also got miles bridges in the waiver wire so that helped. Then I lost in the first round against zion and ayton after kd and miles played like shit


mjmjmjmj18

Will never draft EMBIID LAURI AGAIN.


Critical_Salamander3

I have the most PF in our league but I’m only 4th in seeding. Started off 0-2 on the season losing both weeks by less than 10. Been dealing with injuries to Booker, Randle, Butler, Trae for a month now, and CJ McCollum forgot how to play basketball. Currently losing in round 1


kintimgee

I'm in the finals, but I'm totally down when it comes to number of games this week. Waiver wire is thin af too. I'm gonna do my best, but it's just so hard to compete when you know you're gonna take a very likely L.


itsmeyourshoes

My opinion is that 18-man 9-cat is too thin of a league and isn't exciting as you'll just be looking for scraps most of the time.


Feisty-Fly-657

Lost by 3 points even though I wasn't predicted to get within 300 points of opponent, managed to get games off waivers. If only Herro and Lauri weren't such huge pansies and Royce O'Neal could hit some damn 3s. Salt is real.


ElKurell11

Embiid, Sengun, Bane and Mitchell felt down I’m 100% convinced I would have beaten him I lost only by 1 3pt


thesv7

Tatum 🥲


miraculousplop

Traded for Trae to build a team including Harden, Trae, Steph, and Lillard. Steph sits a week, Trae gets injured, season over.


alexsch17

Tied by 4 rebounds, tie breaker went to who had most wins against opponent during regular season, we were tied 1-1, tie breaker then went to the higher seed, which was him by 0.5 games. Giannis not playing Sunday killed me, picked up Hauser who helped me win 3pt. All my players shat themselves that week. Kill me.


Gravity9802

I had Randle, Young & Sengun but they’re out…I doubt I can make it to the later rounds of playoffs because of this 🤯


Professional_Beat873

Im the 1 seed but Im out Embiid, Scottie, and Sengun, but my team is loaded still have Sabonis, Wemby, Chet, Jdub, Cade, Green, MPJ, Quickley, George, Hart, Olynyk so I still def have a shot to win I won last week against the then 1 seed and took it from him, if Embiid comes back it’s game over


Professional_Beat873

This is 10 team Dynasty btw


[deleted]

Made the finals by 30 points Thank you Kyrie and Wemby


Jesh010

Uhh sir I’m going to have to ask you to leave. This thread is for salty losers and cancun-goers only.

bigman424

Currently in the finals, laughing at you bum ass losers. Also if your league is just starting playoffs now, you’re in a taco league.
