It's been close all week in my match-up, but I feel dcdoorknob is the slight favorite heading into Sunday, with him having a full board of players (to my eight).

I could even lose 9-0 since every category for him is up for grabs. Me, I'll be crossing fingers for my guys to come up big.

Good luck too Craig, to lead Rounders Block heading into the last day has been some achievement.

With any luck, we have a dream Final, but we could also be playing for 3rd/4th if things don't quite go our way.

In any case, it's been a fun year. Just wanted to let you guys know that I won't be returning next season to represent RealGM, as I'm retiring from all forms of fantasy basketball.

Big game from Brand this afternoon... grabbing 2 AST, 2 STL and 5 BLK. Would have liked to see more than 3 REB in an OT game especially since I have a slight lead in the column.

I've locked in FT% and TO. It looks like RB has FG% and PTS. 3PTM, REB, AST, STL and BLK could go either way. I have leads in 4 of those categories; but, since I'm undermanned in talent in the final day, this could really go either way...

Oh Craig...heart-breaking stuff.

I somehow pulled a victory from nowhere, but needed a lot of luck to get there. I'll take it, being in the top-3 all season and now making the Final.

I look at Rounders Block's team and wonder how I can beat him.

This is my last action representing RealGM, so I'll give it my all.

Oh and Gokce will be playing for 7th/8th next week. G

Devin Harris and AK injuries plus - essentially - four wasted wire adds. This win was definitely within reach. I can't believe Jordan squeaked out a win... last I looked, it was over.

In this league, I have made a habit of nicking wins I don't think I necessarily deserved. That's the reason why I have made it to the final week.

Look at it and my draft - Lee and Lopez have underperformed, Gay was lost for the season, J-Rich's trade to Orlando killed his luck. Hardly your core four to lead a team to a title, but I am one week away.

Wish me luck..

We've all had some bad luck one way or another. Injuries to my squad forced me to scour the WW, and my team is where it's at because of that. Lowry, Tony Allen, Monroe, and Chuck Hayes were all pickups that have given my team some nice depth. Basically had to sit through 2.5 months of sheer mediocrity from Lawson too (nearly dropped him half a dozen times) until it paid off with the Billups trade.

Never been a fan of the H2H playoff system because it rewards a 3-week sprint over a 20-week marathon, but I'm just happy the two top-seeded teams ended up in the finals.

Like last week's matchup against sly (which was extremely close - very well played Craig), it looks like I'm gonna have to make up a little deficit again. So here goes nothing, and good luck to you YS.

Close loss.

Bargnani missing two games was BAD for me.

1 spot is open, possibly 2. So far no word from Sabonis, I'll speed up the recruitment once we have some sort of positive development for the season

I'll take one of those spots if there's an opening...and if there's a season.

Sabonis is back and WB takes Jordan's slot so we are ready to roll as soon as the lockout ends.
