Congratulations to my opponent O_6. He built an amazing team. I knew from the moment I saw the draw this will be my toughest matchup (LOL, I was right in a way).

I wish him good luck. I guess it's too early to predict how far he can advance but he can surely win it all. Good luck to all other GMs, too.

I wanna thank all the judges and the other participants for making this project possible.

Spoiler:

I didn't expect to be done so quickly. I can't put my name forward as a judge for the remaining matchups but if the other guys are fine with it, I would love to join the judges from the next round.

sorry batmana--my vote tends to be a vote of death. In 2 of the 4 matchups I have been the lone dissenter.

Maybe you are the GOAT in a herd of Sheep . . . BAAAAAAA!

I love both these teams. I actually might like batmana's bench with Conley more than Westbrook in the starting lineup though. However, I'd still tend to lean O_6's team because the fits are little better (I might expand on this later...but I really like the dynamic of the team). Still a tough matchup though, and hard to discount peak Shaq. I see that the voting is already decided though, and it should be better than 5-1! I'll give batmana a vote.

I have to apologize again for late voting. I've been pretty flaky with meh reasoning so far...some stuff has come up that I had to address over the weekend. I'll try to get in a vote early for the 3/6 and 4/5 matchups. Obviously that's just words, but I'll really try to do it...

I wasn't exactly happy with my draw either. I'm pretty sure you remember me singling out your team in the Draft-discussion thread and talking about how your Shaq/Mason/Oakley frontline was extremely intimidating, before we even knew our matchups. Shaq is probably the scariest player in this project and you surrounded him with one of my favorite players ever (Grant Hill). Shaq/Hill was such an excellent 1-2 pick combo imo.

You had a very good team. Just beastly on the inside with a bunch of talented perimeter threats. Seems like I'm going to win this matchup 5-3 which tells you how close this one was.
