I wish I could blame the fact that I got a brutal draw and an absurd amount of OTs for my pathetic performance this season but that isn't it... it's just a bad build. Clarke, Millsap, and Ceballos were all bad picks that all play off of each other.

I made the cardinal mistake of trying to ween my guys back to health instead of just giving all of the key tired players the game off to reboot.

Oh and I drafted Ben Wallace in the second round...Rob was right and I'm a moron.

I don't know what the right answer on the first part of this is. I always crank back the minutes the following game and it has probably cost me at least 10+ games this season following all the OTs.

An 0-5 followed by a 5-0.

I have no clue what I am doing.

The tiers are not sorted in any order so please do not read anything into that. I did not do any ranking within tiers for this exercise.

Coach	Draft Rank Average	Seasons ARL Rank	Rank Average Finish	Preseason SoS Rank	Rank Average	Comments	Predicted Range
jcred5	1	4	9	23	9.25	Really depends on lineup gymnastics but so much to love.	1-5
dBKC	2	5	6	22	8.75	Lots of usage, weak defense but so many high ceiling players.	1-5
ncmusician_7	3	6	8	13	7.5	Defense is really a problem but everything else is great.	1-5
dh555	8	15	11	4	9.5	Great division draw on a great team. How to make the bench work?	1-5
ty84moss	6	20	14	3	10.75	Top level talent is elite if the bench can hold up.	1-5
jhsukow	7	1	18	15	10.25	A jhsukow masterpiece?	5-10
benhoidal	16	12	7	2	9.25	If the schedule is as good as it looks then this could be the season.	5-10
edsortails	4	2	13	9	7	Really cool to see how much the numbers love this team.	5-10
ashamael	14	11	5	18	12	Ash is probably good enough to overcome some shallow depth.	5-10
robusk	10	9	1	19	9.75	Maybe taking min maxing a bit too far to the extreme.	5-10
steelers821	9	13	17	24	15.75	Feels far too low given the beautiful roster fit but SoS and historic performance weighing it down.	10-15
raggedclaws	17	19	4	10	12.5	Really shallow amount of ARL seasons but Gobert + Lillard is magic.	10-15
amerk1180	5	3	15	11	8.5	Shooting from the high usage players will be the draw back.	10-15
gerryred	11	7	16	5	9.75	Tons of great players playing at subpar positions.	10-15
20ks	13	10	19	1	10.75	Rebounding plus Harden is a good recipe, but the bench is rough.	10-15
chewy3344	21	22	2	12	14.25	Tough to go against the history, gonna eat my words?	15-20
24kpyrite	22	21	10	7	15	History says 24k will make at least one finals and probably be closer to 15 than 20.	15-20
jkaye24	12	16	3	21	13	Gonna be gasping for breath and can't stop anyone but sure can score.	15-20
berkelon	18	14	21	20	18.25	berkelon is gonna beat the numbers I believe.	15-20
Midge	15	8	12	14	12.25	When they aren't turning the ball over they will score a lot.	15-20
jpevans31	24	24	20	16	21	jpevans blew my projections way out of the water with his last build like this.	20-24
pbandj	20	18	22	6	16.5	Trenchcoat full of watches, but I like pbandj a lot and hope I am wrong.	20-24
jethroeg	19	17	24	8	17	jethroeg gets better every season and 20 wouldn't be bad.	20-24
albiband0	23	23	23	17	21.5	Depends on what happens with the guards tbh.	20-24

We are a little past the halfway mark; predictions are holding up pretty well so far. You're eating your words on chewy, though. The biggest overperformers seem to be chewy, berkelon (though you mentioned liking their team), and albi. Meanwhile ncm, amerk, edsortails, and ty84 haven't lived up to the rankings - so far.

I was going to copy in a current snapshot of the standings, but I should have known RobTech doesn't allow that kind of thing.

Top offense does belong to jkaye - both PPG and TS%. Also worst opponent TS%, worst opponent AST/100, and worst TO/100 with second worst Opp TO/100 allowed. A team of contrasts!

We started slow, then got super hot, now I've fallen off a cliff.

I had like 7 consecutive 2-3 cycles chased with an 0-5 this afternoon. 19 wins in the last 50 has taken all the juice out of this.

Yeah I had intended to comment at the AS break but I have been swamped. chewy and ncm were definitely the biggest misses. All the others you mentioned as well. Really impressed with albi, he also smoked my predictions. We had some good discussion of him in the video and he has played more towards our optimistic view of his gameplanning so there was so belief this team could do this. Some of the teams aren't quite getting the schedule they were forecasted to receive.

And yeah, I prevent copy and downloading to protect my IP.

I just wish I could sort by columns without breaking everything.

Unfortunately I can’t expose sort functionality without making everyone editors, and the risk that comes with making everyone editors and letting the corrupt everything is just too great.

What is the default sort on the document? I haven't been able to figure that one out. Also, what is the best way to figure out where you stand? Is there a running total of points at any given time, based on total wins, # of playoff teams, etc?

until playoffs start, wins = how you're doing.

It's a screen scraper so the sort doesn't quite matter because the source material (the web page it scrapes) changes constantly. Basically I have to manually resort occasionally based on wins. Once the score tab is exposed it is generally well sorted though (after playoffs start).

My teams certainly doesn’t think I have an easy schedule. I’m doing absolutely terrible in division.

There are no easy schedules in Savage, only harder ones.
