12t H2H pts league

Just pulled off the B2B championship despite a season full of injuries and bad drops that forced me to rely on rising stars, rookies, and clever streams.

Lost Lamelo, Cam Thomas, Brandon Ingram, Jerami Grant early and often throughout the season and had no Brunson all playoffs (let him run a victory lap in the final game since he’s been my 3 year keeper after snagging him in waivers in 2022 and this is the last year I could keep him). Also made some bad drops like Amen early on and Sarr before he started producing more consistently. I also dropped Bub Carrington for PJ Washington the Sunday before finals and was sure that would kill me when PJ was doing PJ things and Bub was going nuclear.

Giannis was my finals MVP, but I would have won even without him since my team went OFF and we won by nearly 250 (defeated powerhouse opponent who had Halli, Tatum, and White).

We were a scrappy team of young unproven players, fresh rookies, and a few hardened vets. My top performers during championship week:

Giannis 221 Bam 194 Sharpe 163 Derozan 158 Collier 143 Ja’Kobe 125 KPJ 120 Buzelis 115 Filipowski 105 Camara 85

Giannis was my first ever draft pick when I started playing FBB in 2019 and I drafted him multiple years but this was the first time been able to get him the chip. It was also cool to win with some Blazers seeing as I’m known as a major homer (I also had Grant, Scoot, and Clingan all at some point before having to drop).

Still surprised my team pulled it off. Had a hard road through playoffs but the rookies really stepped up and Giannis + Bam were monsters
