Love the tally Dan. Keon and I are the old vets who used to be All-Stars but are now here to mentor the young guns. We can still get it done if we have to. We're here if you need us.

inthepaint is obviously in for a game 1 start if he wins - can't be breaking that win streak - and drops into that middle mess of .500 teams if he loses.
We've got some obvious big hitters here: Scraptor and JClaw both had incredible years. Same goes for bertarapsfan, consmap and MixxAOR.
TRex was basically unbeatable, except that at the end of his 2nd win streak, he failed to even create a game thread, leading directly and irrefutably to a loss. That loss is assigned to TRex above (showing how dominant he was when he actually started a thread). I'm conflicted here. Can TRex be trusted with playoff game threads? I'd say no... But in the spirit of load management, is the performance when he does play more important than the game he didn't show up for? Maybe TRex should be our ace in the hole - break glass in case of emergency, about to be eliminated option.
If the playoffs go as deep as we all hope (and we don't just sweep every series), we've got a few other smaller sample solid performers to fall back on as the occasional losses pile up. Joey and Keon both had good records in a few games, and then basically anyone else who got a win can step in (sorry Demo, planetmars and Goldblum, it just can't be risked).
DAMN! Looking at the strength we got up top I’m feeling very confident. Inthepaint with a fantastic regular season closer leading the way? Nicely done. And then followed by Scraptor, JClaw, Berta, Consmap and Mixx???? That crew is as strong and well balanced as the Raptors squad we gather here to support. We. Look. Good.
My vote, unlike Keon, would be to have Mixx in the mix. 8&3 is a strong showing over a fairly large sample size and his threads are dope. After that it drops off significantly with respect to the rest of us.
TRex... I agree with the break glass in case of emergency theory here. Hopefully he won’t be necessary on our march towards victory. (I suspect he’ll feel the same.)

Prove what? He can lead a team to 37 wins, unlike those 36 or less win garbage teams?

This has become one of my favorite annual traditions, thanks Dan.
Scaptor and JClaw are there every year it seems like. Consistent. I think consmap usually preforms well also. And what a rookie year by berta. They have to be our go to guys when inthepaint gets knocked out of the paint.
I'm conflicted with Mixx, I love his posts but you gotta draw the line somewhere, and the other 4 are on a 60+ win pace. Mixx was "only" on a 57 win pace. I think 4 is the key after (or IF) our final win streak dies out. 4= the amount of losses it takes to be eliminated in a round, so in theory they all get a crack at saving a series.
TRex, while I admire his GDT performance, can go AWOL at any moment. I'm not sure I'm comfortable giving him the keys to this high performance engine.
