*Laughs in Westbrook*

At least he’ll rebound some of his misses.

I just don't see the math for stopping raggedclaws on his path to his first crown here. This is as thorough a playoff butt whooping as I have seen someone put down in the second round. Woof.

If I counted correctly, another very competitive/diverse conference finals. Seems like it's Rob and rc battling it out. Each has one nice match up with a bye team against 6 seeds. Both of Rob's teams had a bye, but rc has 3 teams. I bet it comes down to W1 or W3 or both if they meet in the finals.

This Savage has been a big kick in the nuts, man.

If I would have pulled off the G7 against edsortails maybe I’d feel better about my odds but after that loss I’d say odds are overwhelmingly in rc’s favor.

I'll concede that I'm probably the betting favorite, but I'm not going to feel incredibly confident while I'm still 11 behind rob, only 6 ahead of jcred, and dBKC is still lurking and likely to beat me in W3. Any of those 4 winning would not surprise me one bit. There's just too much variance in the playoffs and everyone in the group are killers.

I will take the upset win over W3 ben, but W5 was statistically my best squad (even if it had too many minutes of MJ at 3 for my liking) and now it's off the board.

At least my remaining squads are all in strong condition. We're running some pretty tight lineups out here.

It wouldn’t be Savage without gerryred knocking off one of my better teams in the playoffs. Feels like it happens every season.

This feels like the earliest Savage exit for me in a while, time to change up my strategy.

Good luck to all those still Savaging

You had an incredible season that looks like it will for sure be top 5, maybe top 3... nothing to slouch over man. You killed it yet again.

So I think it comes down to this:
1) I think only raggedclaws or robusk can win at this point
2) if raggedclaws wins W2, then robusk must win W1 by 4-2 or better
3) if raggedclaws does not win W2, then the winner of W1 decides the crown
4) raggedclaws can win W2 and lose W1 in a 7 game series and also win the crown
5) dBKC can still finish 2nd if he wins 2 'ships and one of raggedclaws or robusk wins 0 'ships.

I have a 72-win team and 2 teams in the finals and the best I could possibly finish if everything goes my way is 2nd?!?

you guys are good

gotta love seeing the two finalists going head to head in world 1...good luck to both savages

dbkc/ty in world 5 is a nice undercard...ty ran through a pretty tough western conference as a 5 seed and now has a chance to stop dbkc's monster from becoming the greatest team ever in savage

Awful not having even one team in a finals. Looks like 9th place is my best possible finish. Worst Savage since Savage 3. Oof.

I’m super ready to get the next draft going. By far my favorite league…even when I don’t have a chance at winning

An Otto Porter missed 3 to send G7 to OT…
