HTPB 22.14 (Regular Season Recap)

 


We will forgo the game recaps this week and do a season in review on the eliminated teams and look ahead to the playoffs for the real men who made it.  



1. SMBR 106-76
2. LZ 104-78
3. RM 103-79
4. BNE 101-80-1
5. BL 98-84
6.BG 98-84
7. EBD 96-86
8. BB 95-87
9. HC 90-92
10. $$ 87-95
11. TC 80-101-1
12. ODS 75-107
13. TS 73-109
14. IS 67-115

Usually there is 1 team that narrowly screwed someone deserving out of the playoffs.  Not so this year as we have 3 teams giving a full Mr. Marcus level screwing to teams.  As HC, $$, and TC all cherish the butts of BNE, EBD, and BL.  BB can take solace in the fact that their record shouldn't have been so bad but they still weren't playoff team good. 


We are going to take a look at how teams would have done with someone else's schedule.  


ODS would have gone 8-6 with BL/$$ schedule and 4-10 with IS or LZ.
BB 10-4 with TC/RM 5-9 IS/BNE
BNE 10-4 with BG/LZ/$$ and 5-9 with themselves/EBD
BG 10-4 with RM and 4-10 with IS
BL 9-5 with BG/RM/$$ and 5-9 with EBD
$$ 9-5 with BL and 4-10 with IS
HC 9-5 with his own or RM and 4-10 with IS
IS 7-7 with BG and 3-10 with $$
TS 8-6 with BB/BL or 0-14 with IS
LZ 10-4 with TC/ODS and 7-7 with BNE/BB
RM 9-5 with 7 different teams and 5-9 with IS
SMBR 10-4 with $$/TS and 4-10 with IS
TC 9-5 with TC and 3-11 with LZ

The only team without a possible universe where they made the playoffs is the Italian Stallions who's 7-7 best case scenario record would have kept him home.

Everyone had a reality where they could have missed the playoff in the multiverse of madness. 




Number of Timelines where they would have made the playoffs. 

SMBR/LZ/RM 9
BL 8
BNE/BG/HC 7
BB/EBD 6
$$ 5
TC 4
ODS/TS 2
IS 0

By this metric only BNE and BL have been screwed and TC and $$$ lucky.

Using all available metrics Bricklayers and Big Nasty Express were boned in both.  While Dollars and The Collegians were shined upon by the gods in all ways. 

According to the Skynet site that determines rest of the season results based only upon results previously in the season, meaning it doesn't know guys got hurt and that our bracket reseeds, here are the championship odds

RM 58%
LZ 16%
BG 12%
HC 9%
SMBR 4%
$$ 0.02%
TC 0%







Big Nasty Express was #2 in points but was a repeated recipient of bad luck.  So bad in fact that they were eliminated with a few weeks left to go in the season.  The struggle to win a title that they drafted continues.


The Italian Stallions continue to be the worst at this stupid game.  The Toilet Bowl comes home.  


Eh Big Dude traded for the #1 pick in the draft and got two games in which Justin Jefferson left injured. 


Bay-Bay's went as the Dolphins did and continues to be the only current member of HTBP to never make the playoffs.


Is there truth to the commish curse?  The commissioner has never won a title that they drafted.  


Tinker Stinkers finally missed the playoffs after making it every year that they have been in the league.  The current longest streak is SMBR with only 3.


Bricklayers only needed 1 win in their final 3 games and managed to not score over 100 in the final 4 weeks of the season.

Regular Season Pick em Results


Bay-Bay's won for the week (6-1) and ODS went 1-6.

The Collegians ran away with the regular season title. $$$ was the worst at picking winners.  The picks continue through the post season.





Hardcore Cabinet vs Stabmyballzrepeatedly

The two of hottest teams in the league meet in the 4/5 game.
SMBR hasn't scored less than 110 points in 7 weeks but one was still a loss to Hardcore Cabinet.
Hardcore Cabinet has gone 8-2 after a rough start but two of those wins were below 100.

Dollars vs Blue Gatorade

This is the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde game as both of these teams either go crazy or come up completely lame.  We shall see who stretched before their matchup.  

Rush n' Missiles vs The Collegians

RM goes for their first win in the history of the franchise in a rematch of last week.  Can the Collegians take advantage of all of their regular season luck or have they used up all of their wishes. 


The regular season is over.  The true game begins....
