(42353866) but it wasn't an upset.

I dig that it wasn't an upset because you felt you had the obvious better team, but just out of curiosity, why did he finish ahead of you in the regular season? Did your team get off to a slow start, you buy better players as the season went on, or what? How did you fare against him in the season?

(42481922) Expected's star center got injured 1 minute into the game, and lost to a team that they'd blow out any other time.

Here is one major upset from my own league. The #1 lost to the #4 by about 14 points. Not sure why. My guess is, #4, whichi was a bot for most of the season, just improved his team that much down the stretch, though I've not seen him by any players, he may have.

He won both games against me in the season - the second because he CTd in order to avoid me in the playoffs. It didn't work because the (then) first place team deliberately lost the last game to avoid me.

The main reason he finished ahead of me was because of training. I was playing my horrible SG at PG for OD training which cost me at least 4 games. I also bought a couple of players in the middle of the season, primarily my $200k center but also my $100k PG.

I think I had somewhat of an upset, after having lost 5 times in 5 matches to this guy I won in the first round with him having 18k WR and I had 29k (until this morning):

He didn't expect me to play that bad a team.

I only scraped into the playoffs last season (my first season on BB, i joined just after the all-star game) and somehow made it to the final. I was more surprised than anyone
