Hi all!
Of late, analysis for the Raptors has settled into "I'm certainly glad they are winning" and "I wonder when Lowry will be back" and "Please go away, Bulls."
As such, I thought I'd put a fun little something together to play around with.
As we all know, the poster who starts the game thread is basically the only factor that determines whether the Raptors win or lose. And with the playoffs around the corner, we need to figure out who is going to be starting those game threads!
So I thought I'd have a little fun and look at how various posters have done this year.
First, our schedule:
In terms of oddities:
- In game 5, Joey was late putting up the game thread, and Demographic Shift stepped up at the last minute.
- Games 32-36 are a complete mess. TRex went a litte crazy, first following up a game thread loss with another game thread, then when he won that game, not starting the thread for the next game - then, when Scraptor lost that game with the last minute thread start, TRex decided to jump back onto the next game. Ballsy move.
- Joey got a little trigger happy for the first game back from the all-star break, starting a game thread after Cody won the last game before the break. It was established in-thread that Cody would get credit if Joey won. He did.
Now, the "standings." There are a few games left, if anyone wants to take a chance to goose (or tank) their numbers. I've made editorial decisions here - Scraptors loss in the middle of TRex's mid-season break down is attributed to TRex. Joey's win during Cody's streak is credited to Cody, as requested.
I thought it might be fun to have some debate on the order of game thread starters for the playoffs, with this background info in mind. Just something silly to fill the days before Lowry comes back and we can get really intense about this playoff run.
