When you have a date with your friendly nemesis...

Some of these other cats need to step up their beefs. I can only taunt you to mid second round tops if I win.

This is a tough series. You're very versatile which makes for a challenging coverage strategy. Gotta love the Kentucky vs Kentucky matchup too. I was actually hoping to avoid the 4/5 bracket. Not because of you as the 2-6 seeds are a pretty even match but... well you and everyone else knows why. But no easy series anywhere.

Very interested in Mavs/Pels. Pooch is a brutal first round opponent for a 3 seed.

You match up well against Spurs imo, didn't you do great against them this season?

Brooklyn vs Cleveland is some play in matchup, didn't realize they were there

As much as we both want it to happen, if I were you I wouldn’t overlook your 1st round opponent. A couple of those play-in teams are dangerous potential 8th seeds.

It's more like your getting knocked out in the first round just so you don't have to face the Hornets

Damn, you found me out!

Shout-out to the Miami Heat! An opponent so worthy of my respect I wouldn’t dare be looking past them, worrying about round 2 (or marginalizing them by insinuating they’re such an easy vic, that the only way I could possibly lose would be on purpose, to avoid Charlotte).

But that’s Hoffa for you.

My #1 goal this season was to have a winning record. We accomplished that.

And we did it with so many of our key player being injured at key points in the season too...

Being the 6th seed is icing on the cake.

I hit on all my goals:

• 50 wins for the first time in franchise history
• Won the Atlantic Division
• Homecourt advantage in the 1st round of the playoffs

What a turnaround! Congrats 2010!!

We handed them a couple of Ls. This is a different animal though.

ANNOUNCEMENT


Congratulations to the 12 teams who have already qualified for the postseason. It has been a long season and season 7 has shown to be one of the best BaF seasons yet. More than one third of the league had 50 or more wins and as we head into the postseason, there are many championship worthy teams. Many GM's have put together fantastic rosters but only one team will win it all in June.

Tonight we begin the postseason with the first round of the play in tourney. Two additional teams will win their way into the playoffs tonight starting at 7PM. Game one of the Eastern Conference will be on Sunday while the Western Conference series will begin on Monday. As we have done in the past, teams still playing can submit individual defensive matchups if they would like. The sim allows teams to matchup five players with five players of the opposing team. If you would like to use these matchups, put it in a PM to me prior to your game. These matchups can change daily or remain the same throughout the series. Teams who do not submit matchups will be assigned the generic sim generated defensive matchup. Feel free to write me if you don't understand how to submit this.

Regular season awards will be named after the postseason concludes. One thing I've been thinking about adding to this is a GM or Executive of the Year award to be named after the season. I would ALL like GM's to vote on this. GMs can vote for anyone but themselves and the GM with the highest number of votes will be honored during awards season. Please PM me your vote by next weekend at the latest. Hopefully people will put a bit of thought into this and it can add one more thing to BaF.

Finally, as some teams have now reached their offseason and people move their focus away from BaF and a deep Knicks run in the playoffs, I want to get a quick commitment for season 8 from all GM's. Please PM me your 'in/out' for the 2024-25 season along with your GM of the Year vote before 4/21.

Congrats again to all 30 teams on another successful season. Good luck to all still fighting for that championship trophy. And as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

My GM of the Year vote is in! So many great minds it was really hard to choose just one.

Bish, will you only announce the winner or will we be able to know the additional vote getters, kinda how the NBA does it?

Seeing vote-getters aside from the winner may be a way to recognize the other quality GMs who don’t win the award.

Bish I think I speak for everyone by saying how crazy it is we are going into our season 7 postseason with season 8 on the horizon. I don't think anyone could have imagined the success when you decided to start this up over 7 years ago.

Truly amazing.

I play in big money fantasy leagues and obviously spend a lot of time watching our favorite teams. But I honestly nothing compares to this league. I put in more time and get more enjoyment out of this league then everything outside my family.

Crazy what you built!

BK is banged up. They're gonna be a problem next season. I agree it's stunning Cleveland's in the play-in.

sim been doing me dirty all season. got tatum looking like jerry stackhouse and bam plays like bargnani whenever he's matched up against guys like plumlee. doesn't make any sense. i hate the way the sim has been trending unrealistically personally but it is what it is. maybe next year it'll get better.

As long as this game runs and I run...

In.
