I lost by 28 with 2 correct guesses. I was never getting past Golden Horde - I certainly didn't underestimate him. All my starters played between 112 and 127 minutes the previous week, so even training game shape, everyone was in pretty low 8 GS. I wouldn't have beat any of the playoff teams on the road with that GS, let alone GH.

Plus, if you're not gonna win the title, which I wasn't on the road with bad GS, I think it's financially better to lose now. I didn't pay my 942k in salaries this morning. If I had beat GH, and then lost in the finals in two games, it would have cost me around 400k.

Didn't they make a change a season or two ago to make it the same financially whether it goes for 2 or 3 games?

1) i would bet dimes to donuts that DeSouza had drops in JS / JR -- no way he can score like he was capable with only a 14 / 10 (although a 14 IS is nice).


I think he had 16 JS at his prime (or maybe 17). Not sure about JR though, it might have always been 10 actually. I can tell you he had a double drop in OD not long before the playoffs which was particularly painful.


3) i woulda thought Choi and Toby D. would have been keepers -- low salary, talented, good for a mid-range Cup run.


I thought about keeping them, but they're good and still not that old, so I figure they'll sell pretty high. The help that they could give me in the next few seasons is probably not worth the depreciation.

i would say that this season's voting is pretty definitive: being on a winning squad is decisive. Eckert did not get a single vote.
