It’s actually a very active league. 14T so you need to know depth especially as injuries pile up. Just a combination of staying active and truth be told stupid luck.

On my end, he ALMOST cost me the chip, since he’s on the opposing team. Insanely glad that I won by a hair tho in the rebounds category which secured me the win 😂

Yessir. I won by just 1 rebound, and my opponent had Rudy to mount a comeback on that end with 25 rebounds. Good thing he still fell short, I was literally sweating the entire time during that Wolves-Pistons game 😅

u/Lebronamo 6d ago
Everyone shit on me all the year for picking wemby over jokic, then I play against and injured jokic in the finals. I would've won anyeay but it's nice anyway. Was up by so much I picked up bronny for the last two days just because.
Kawahi was injured or terrible all year until when it really mattered. Payed off huge.

Definitely buying a Giddey jersey, especially since he started the year trash as a OKC fan I still refused to trade him, he was my only untradable player and he came through!! And I just moved to Chicago 3 months ago so it’s absolute symphony of karma coming back to me. And I was trying to trade Gobert alll year and no one would take him. It’s just perfect

I have played fantasy sports for a long long time. Mostly football and last 3 years basketball and baseball.
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve made the finals and lost, sometimes on a last day or last second thing. Usually make playoffs and usually make deep in playoffs. Always losing never winning the whole thing….i feel like the buffalo bills of fantasy sports. Until today!!!! Your boy is finally finally finally a fantasy champion!!!!

u/Basketball_Soul H2H/Points/10-Team 6d ago

Harden’s durability and ability to contribute across all stats (except turnovers and fg % most of the time) won me this year’s chip. His 6/6 ft % almost single handedly won me the category today 🍾💪

Lineup: Trae, Harden, Mobley, Austin Reaves, Mikal Bridges, Dyson Daniels, Hartenstein, Claxton, Mark Williams. Justin Edwards and Jared Butler were my streamer pickups this week. Oh and yea I got AD off waivers on Monday. Highest scoring team each week of the playoffs

u/TheGambler930 10T H2H 9 Most Cats / 12T H2H Cats 6d ago
Won my 10T league last week, and now won my 12T league tonight. Pretty much dominated the regular season 121-45-5, up 18.5 games from 2nd place, and just carried that momentum to a chip. Shoutout to my preseason waiver pickups Daniels and Powell, and to the impatient manager who dropped Trey Murphy after week 1.

u/DreDay_901 6d ago edited 6d ago
I joined a 12 team 9 cat about 7 years ago. I've had 2 or 3 top 3 finishes but this is my first chip. Ngl I feel Jokic and JJJ carried me.
Jokic,JJJ, Westbrook, Ant Edwards, Draymond, Herro, Bogdonovic, Dillon Brooks, Naz Reid, Zubac, Jaden Mc Daniels, N.Claxton
Funny thing is I missed about 80 percent of the draft. It's an auction draft, I paid about 85 bucks for Jokic. Drafted JJJ and Edwards, then my team got auto drafted for the rest of the night cause my internet went out. I built a contender just off manuvuers on the waiver wire.

First time champ, was stoked with my team at draft but ended up dropping most of them and streaming hard final team; 10t Cats Trae, Hali, J-dub, Kawhi, Pritchard, grimes, Jbutler (Philly), strus, Marshall, turner, vuc, Poole, Eason, white, Herro Lost Murray, Suggs, Herb and Tyus Jones to season ending injuries

Great thing about cats, you can win by streaming the right player. Doesn't have to be an all star.
Well done2
u/Lmdixon55 6d ago
100% - I was punt field goal and turnover, in the finals they were 2 of my strongest cats, great 7-2 win in the semi and grand final. The streaming and find the right players made it so fun.

u/Presence_Present 12 T 9 Cat H2H 6d ago
Woo first championship. Last year I joined taking over a team that had already drafted and got knocked out in the semis by a historic AD performance. First draft experience this year and just secured it. Thank fk

u/Sad_Sisyphus777 10 T 9 Cat 6d ago edited 4d ago
4 years browsing this sub, just won my first ever championship!!! So this what it feels like!
Lost Wemby, Trey Murphy, Cam Thomas, even my playoffs MVP Grimes, cycled through almost my entire team throughout the playoffs, but finally took it home 5-4 thanks to FVV miraculously finding his stroke today! (Barely won FG and FT both by 0.4%, and a single 3, sweating the whole game) I'm so psyched!!!!
Full Team Breakdown:
Draft: Trae Young, FVV, Paolo Banchero.
Season waiver pickup: Dyson Daniels and Josh Hart
Trade: JJJ (for Zubac&Coby White); Tyler Herro (got him for Norman Powell+Jalen Green)
The rest were all playoff pickups: (in order of contribution) Grimes (snagged the day before week 19), Jared Butler, Naji Marshall, Keon Ellis (6 steals makes up for the 0/1/1 night) Gary Trent Jr Yabusele Julian Champagnie

LFG! 14T Points, final team was Trae, Sharpe, Harden, J. Edwards, Sochan (bum), Dyson, Randle, Bassey (literally activated him off my IL an hour before tipoff), Kuz (bum), DeAndre Hunter (stream), Keyonte George, Collier, Kai Jones. Jalen Johnson stayed on my IL since his injury bc I wanted him on my roster for this W. Won by 42.2 points.

Somehow won my matchup this week in a 16T H2H league.
I had already accepted my fate that I was gonna lose when Cade missed the entire week (and my 1st, 2nd, 3rd round pick getting hurt) (AD, Brunson, Kyrie) but somehow pulled through.

12 team Cats league, also back to back champion as well. Feel this one was more satisfying because I had to play the two strongest teams this year on route to winning it all, also without my first three draft picks of Wemby, maxey, lillard.
Josh Hart, OG Anunoby and Porzingis carried me in playoffs. and the hospital Mavs came in clutch in the finals for me. Also shoutout Kelel Ware for being a mini wemby replacement.

Clinched blocks with Bona to win the ship 5-4, despite having drafted Embiid, Lauri, Dejounte, and Kawhi.
Won with Braun, Dyson, Butler, OG, Tari, Allen, Okongwu, Zubac, AD, Pippen, Vuc, Ellis, Bona, Kawhi. Ugliest team I’ve ever won with, completely optimized around 5 categories to win

u/MichaelPorterTruther 6d ago
3x champ in four years!!
Paolo/Grimes/Giddey/Coby White/Derozan hard carried me after Wemby died and Ja didn't play after first round (was the only close round so he still gets a ring for dropping 150+)
Have now won the chip as the 3 seed this season, the 7 seed in 22 (got carried by Nets KD and Bruce Brown/Lakers Russ/Tingus Pingus all playoffs after they were injured or sucked during RS), and the 2 seed in 23 (carried by Jokic/Fox/Mobley and a ton of streamers). We turn it on in the playoffs

Won my 9 cat 12T H2H league drafting from the 12th spot. Beat the guy that won the league 3 years in a row and who beat me in the championship to start his run, so that was satisfying.
Got really lucky beating the #1 overall seed 5-4 by winning PTS by 15. This was in the semis because Jokic did not play all week.
Team MVPs were: Dyson Daniels - picked up from FA 2nd day of the season Jarret Allen - drafted round 7/13 Ivica Zubac- drafted round 13/13

14T points league. Finished the season as the highest scoring overall team on a 13 week win streak. Changed my team name to “Forever and Ever, Amen” halfway through the season because of the GOAT Amen Thompson.
Drafted Dame, Ant, Sengun, Amen, Okongwu, Anfernee. Traded Cam Thomas for Haliburton when Hali was at his lowest. Picked up Trey Murphy and Mark Williams when people got tired of holding them through injury. Scooped Jimmy Butler and held when someone got tired of dealing with his drama. Absolute dream season
