2 C
2 Util
3 Bench

if u don't like this, fuck u (just kidding, totes open for suggestions)

also....

2 divisions (similar to the real nba!) i think wd be tight if we get more teams this time around.

head-to-head play, last 3 weeks of the season are playoffs 4 us

stats:
# Total Rebounds
# Assists
# Steals
# Blocked Shots
# 3-point Shots Made
# Points Scored
# Free Throw Percentage
# Field Goal Percentage

tentative draft time:

Sunday September 26, 2010, 2:00 pm CST

let me know if this day sucks biggity balls 4 u

just to add my two cents as to the a/t ratio stuff on the other thread, the standard way of doing things is count assists as one category, turnovers as another category. turnovers go against you. i am in favor of this model, tbh imo.

totally classic thread title

What rules are we playing for drops etc? I'm happy with whatever, as long as the rules don't change midseason!

yeah keep the 5 add/drops a week rule

(Also would anyone be up for a NO DROPS league running in parallel? Obviously super low maintenance plus you have to make SWAG MOVES on draft day - if you take Derrick Favors or whoever and they bomb there's no getting rid...)

Is that draft time set in stone? I'd prefer it not be a month before the season starts? Something closer to mid-October would maybe make more sense?

yeah, i just had to set a date to get teh league started, def moveable, but i'd prefer a sunday afternoon.

yeah could we add turnovers? i just wanna have an odd number of categories, all those 4-4 ties last year were lame. no ties in basketball!

k ur wish is my kazaam

Okay great re: draft date. I need to read 500 glowing training camp reviews of all the rookies so I completely overvalue them and waste rounds 5 through 8 picking rooks on spec.

how about 4 trans per week? also theres a bench this year so hopefully poaching flavors of the week will be out of vogue.

word, also need to obsessively track preseason box scores

u guys, wade and bron are gonna score 60 pts and 20 reb and 20 ast and never turn it over and practice 3 pts from half court while bosh wears shades and flexes midcourt, take this into consideration as u make ur draft choices

fyi I am only drafting white dudes this year

u can call yr team "restoring basketball's honor"

no it will be called GONSWAGA

buttsweat made me lol

two divisions, love it!!!

we need to think carefully about the add/drops rule, was it last year when it worked out that someone was just working the waiver wire literally every day? i'm all for something that encourages something close-ish to the real thing

maybe once a week then

ok i'm gonna join in on this even though i have no idea what i'm doing

um...dunno

get in get in remember its the HOOPOCALYPSE this year, get your fix before lockout time

winter 2011 we're all gonna be playing eurobasket fantasy pick'em or some such crap

dibs on rubio

big lols if the tiago splitter story ends up 'tiago finally ends up coming to the NBA and plays for one season...only to be so disgusted by the lockout he returns to europe forever"

fuck u if this happens btw

^_^

ps when do u dudes want to do drafting? is oct 10 better?

I'd like to see a teensy bit more preseason. Maybe 15th-20th?

also rite now we have odd # of teams, so we require an additional odd # thus making an EVEN NUMBER OF TEAMS because what is basketball but an exercise in symmetry

sunday 17th ok then?
xp

pps have cahnged it now to:

Sun Oct 17 3:00pm CDT

perfect!

dammit, out of town that weekend. might be able to draft if it's earlier in the morning?? otherwise it's computer-picks for me. bummer

http://i55.tinypic.com/2n69eys.jpg

Hey. Can I join up on this?

Well, too bad. I did already. Viva Los B.L.A.M.s!

every1 is free 2 join

bump 2 remind u. currently 10 teams, bring a friend so that way when they 4get they have a team, we can beat them up for free wins.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

what's CDT

cold daquiris time

(central daylight time)

o damn that's 4 AM here

~hmm~

lol u gonna have greg oden, corey magette, and evan turner then

have no idea about what my opinion is on players like rondo and dwight who murder in some categories and get murked in others, is it worth it?

I could give you an answer but then you would have to figure out if I'm just messing with your head or not

I know it's late and all, but it would be nice to round up one more team. The two divisions are split 6/5 right now.

ah fuck, who's the wiseass who joined @ the last second i fucking h8 u

im just keeding u, but u need 2 fone a friend!!!!

where's a sock when you need one

HEY TURDS, FIND SOME ASSHOLE FRIEND TO JOIN PLZ

Ok ok I'll join

You're not allowed to change the rules because I'm doing too well this time though.

u were playin lawyerball, son, not the fantasy hoops my forefathers played when they came to this country

45 minutes til draft time, get your sunday best ready

http://beasley.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/joakim-noah-suit.jpg

I am utterly unprepared for this.

nothing prepares u 4 it until u r *in* it, man

Quick Q: Can you draft, say, a Swingman at one of the plain ol' guard positions, or does he go in the UTIL spot?

Answer me now or I'm leaving this league!!!

Just playin'. Good luck, everyone. Draft order's up now.

what up fam

alex, u can play any1 at the util, and swingmen can play whatever positions they are so designated, regardless of how the draft auto places them on your board

Thanks, Bison.

W/r/t that draft and picks like Griffin, Hickson, McGee, Blatche, Oden, I offer this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EymH-COrGk

can't believe i forgot about the draft, why does autodraft want me to have andrew bynum and gilbert arenas?

it's destiny

What could go wrong with those two I wonder

holy shit gravelz, you werent kidding about having no centers. bargniani can play at c, but u need to swap one of your bench dudes and go get another one.

Apparently, I am meant to watch a lot of OKC hoops this year. Could be worse.

Like getting Greg Oden.

Fuck an autodraft on a wedding day.

Yeah, I was planning on drafting one, then I got distracted by Gordon Hayward's maths major and lateral movement. Anyone want Travis Outlaw or Ariza? Really don't like either.

anyone know why ilx league doesnt show up when i log into my yahoo account from work/elsewhere? fantasy stuff only works from home, on other computers it says i'm not in any leagues

Gravel, make me (More Organ Music) an offer for Ariza.

me too! (bigcountryreeves)

oh my. couldn't make it live due to a trip and forgot to set my autodraft list because i thought i was going to be able to make it

and my punishment is a monta ellis/stephen curry backcourt and starting center okafor.

oh and i scored mr. late april ramon sessions!!!

in other words...argh

Ellis/Curry is a much better fantasy backcourt than real life backcourt.

No bald dudes: I will only trade a center for a center because I am light on centers at the moment.

it's on tonite bros

lol sort by yahoo rank in reverse order: kwame brown is the least valuable player behind such not available luminaries as magnum rolle and brian butch

gl everybody in fantasy poopz

I just traded Blake Griffin for Kevin Garnett in my other league. Hope I don't regret it!

hey dudes watch out i am the undisputed turnovers king this year

My team looks like garbage so far. :/

Luis Scola has been a huge surprise so far. Damn whoever has him.

And damn DeJuan Blair and Zach Randolph for completely shitting the bed last night.

currently getting out rebounded by like 60. woops.

so much for jrue holiday hype

i got scola, what up scoutin reports

h8 my team so much

Dammit, Zach Randolph. Fuckin' bruised tailbone?! I'll bruise your tailbone, boy! (N/H)

Seriously, though, I figured dude would just smoke the pain away. If he ruins my squad any more I hope he gets screwed on those marijuana charges.

if i owned a couch made of good fg%, joe johnson would be all "fuck your raggedy-ass couch"

Only being able to make one move a week is so lame.

take it up with god, cos the mod ain't listenin', girlfriend

*cries*

sorry, u cant cry, you've used your weekly move already!!

*dries*

rite now at this moment, rudy gay is ranked #1 in our fantasy hoops league

thread title totes prescient

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CqDk4jAv_Y4/TNgsaNuQvzI/AAAAAAAAFmM/cGjnMK3CsDM/s400/04.jpg

vujacic jokes never not funny

that should have gone in the antawn jamison thread

o well

yesss won my week by offering discounts (eff your raggedy ass shooting percentages) and making it up in volume (pts, reb, blks, TOs)

ps monta ellis turned it over 19 times last week. his season is going to be epic

but man channing frye is some straight fantasy garbage this year

Division 2 of ppl who understand fun is clearly the Eastern Conference of our league.

lol ;_;

anthony randolph lundgren

If Division 1 is the Western Conference then I'm the Clippers.

does that make me the twolves

I would have three more wins (and, obviously, three less losses) if I were just more diligent about benching and starting players. Anyone else feel my pain?

i just spend five minutes on monday morning doing the whole week's rosters and check back in if I hear about injuries or what-have-you.

^ the advice of a champion btw

My team is so injured and underperforming, and every week I make my one roster change and two of my guys falls apart over the course of the week. It's like swimming upstream.

man horford and gay are bona fide ballers 4 me

*listens to offers for joe johnson*

was thinking of pulling the trigger on shannon browne but you got me

this is why we #1 and 2, nerd wade

youre not kiddin about joe johnson

yeah, i made some good picks this year, but that was def not one of them

the risk u run when u name your team the "just got paid all-stars"

Worst week ever. Fuck.

love that SHAQ got picked up- good lookin out more organ music (check)

this is the week where my team gets exposed for being the fantasy Miami heat that they are

lol clay - last I checked you only needed on rebound to break the tie and beat me, and j j redick was the only guy playing. however now it seems that redick failed to grab that board

he did get 3 rebounds, that's twice his average. i can't turn jj into my team's beast of burden, you know.

love that SHAQ got picked up

I think you jinxed me!

to answer you question: did i really just drop yao so i could pick up josh mcroberts? yes, in fact, i did.

probably a solid move all considered though you lose marketing opportunities in china

hey yahoo sports news thanks for telling me tyreke evans was gonna be benched tonight

he only has 22, 4 and 5 through 3, no biggie

*phews himself*

my team shot a lol 38% last night. marc gaLOL went 2-16

yo anybody need a center? i'm drowning in them and i gots a timmy duncan who can pretty easily go on the block

also hedo turkolol vs the warriors = fantasy murder (5 steals!!)

haha you should have seen hedo before the trade

yeah its really the "vs the warriors" part, corollary to feats & aberrations vs gsw and nyk threads basically

How do you feel about Joe Johnson

anybody want tyreke evans or gilbert arenas

or stephen jackson

i could really use a C a la Duncan. plz to check out the roster of the team called BALL and make me an offer maybe? i don't even know who's on my team right now tbh.

hmm m bison i am not a superfan of joe johnson but might consider a monta for joe-joe swap? just so i'm not so reliant on an all-warriors backcourt?

clay im not sure what i would want off your roster, kg would be my favorite but i'd probably have to include something else with timmy to make it work, though i think kg's stats will level off when he comes back and tim's value is probably as low as it will be all season right now.

haha maybe we could work charlie villanueva into that somehow

i dunno, i suck at trades

Clay, lemme sleep on dat

clay im not sure what i would want off your roster

kinda feel the same way about my dudes, honestly.

tho i do get a kick out of gallinari.

ayo BALL i just accepted yr offer! trade season is on, fools. i think it actually makes my team a tiny bit worse but i personally like kg and battier better. soft spot for timmy as he's been my center a few years but i'm drowning in centers right now.

so happy we worked out the magical kg for cancer patient deal. gonna lol about that all year most likely.

i know me too. can't wait for the trade to finish going through.

if I knew wtf I was doing I would be a more helpful trading partner

Someone make me an offer for Andrew Bogut if you are so inclined.

I am going to miss you, Bogut.

his journey is over.

maybe this move will catapult me into 7th place

I am excited to trade my 3rd round draft pick for a guy I had off the free agent wire earlier in the season.

"Humphries' Journey."

only kwame brown can save my season now

bogut's journey leading him to the mri room. awesome. how will I ever get to seventh place now.. fuck this.

For the record I traded him exclusively because of his horrible FT%.

yo andray blatche explain me how a big man shoots .235 even for one night

lol autodrafted

did not know emeka okafor was so important to my team until he got injured!

Do you guys think I should drop Kyle Lowry or JR Smith to pick up Brandon Roy in my other league?

The last thing I need is points but he is pretty dang good at points.

good trade material if nothing else, assuming he eventually starts again and is averaging somewhere around 17-3-4. if he gets back into shape and plays close to all-star level you can probably sell high.

I love him as trade material but I'm not sure I'm willing to give up either of those guys for him, or lose my waiver position.

nice job curry and monta, that 20 points, 4 reb and 3 assists between the two of you AGAINST PHX is really gonna help me this week

So tired of winning 5-4 and losing 4-5.

those are the worst! poly which team are you?

although i like that our league is total W and L points so the 5/4 to 4/5 split isn't as heartbreaking as it is in football

I'm Bell Biv Monroe.

It makes wins and losses sort of meaningless, so why even have weekly matchups? Might as well just do roto or points.

hm i see what you mean, roto week-by-week is still good. i kind of hate total points because you can still recover from a bad week in this format.

Yeah, that's true.

career night for channing frye! finally that fool paid off

this melo trade will probably be bad for felton and gallinari fantasywise, right?

my money league team is fuct

I just have no clue whatsoever about how this will shake out fantasy-wise, but of guess guys moving from knocks to elsewhere are, yeah, hurt from a numbers perspective obv.

iPhone I curse you.

this melo trade will probably be bad for felton and gallinari fantasywise, right?

I just have no clue whatsoever about how this will shake out fantasy-wise, but of guess guys moving from knocks to elsewhere are, yeah, hurt from a numbers perspective obv.

I'm not so sure. Felton, yes--DEN will be starting Lawson for a while, at least. But Gallo and Chandler are definitely somewhere in the mix, and they're going to push Harrington (my player--have to cut dude) down the bench for sure. I think Gallo starts, Chandler is 6th. Not sure about Mozgov. I'd hazard a guess and say that he'll at least get good minutes relieving Nene. On good days, he's better than Balkman (now gone, of course) and Ely combined.

i'm hoping felton goes somewhere else, tho there is no replacement for being the pg under mike d

farewell t-mac, you had a good run as a point guard who could randomly score 20 a game sometimes

melo-tron- 84-94-2
Washington Bullshits- 84-93-3

Looks like it's between you and me for that last playoff spot, melo-tron, and we're matched up against each other this coming week.

Really wishing I'd done my lineups every Monday morning for the entire season right now--that's 2 more wins and two less losses. *Fingers crossed*

Washington Bullshits- 83-94-3*

the 1-move-per-week limit has been awesome, it's making roster moves really tense now, evidenced by three teams pouncing on the waiver wire this morning

playoff start next week!

In my other league a guy just lost a playoff game by the margin of .001% in field goal percentage.

i'm about to get golden state'd unless washington starts missing free throws

Well, Big Country, Rondo's out for me tonight, so as good as that is for my team FT% (you just went ahead in that category, anyway), I'm falling behind in AST and STL, for sure. Really thought I could pull a 2007 GSW. I've been in Richmond the past few days, so I guess two upsets is already enough for one weekend.

Last night I thought I won, but it turns out I didn't. :/

^bummerz

saw that and wondered how the tiebreaker was calculated- head-to-head? better seed advanced?

I definitely was the lower seed. I was winning all week long!

all in the game i guess :/

Yep. Can't complain.

Extra sucks because of how my team flamed out in my other league though. I was in fourth with two weeks left and then lost my last two games and missed the eight-team playoffs.

I was down 6-3 like all week, sorta gave up, then checked in yesterday and I'd won 5-4. Feel kinda bad considering how mediocre my team was all season. Like, I don't deserve to upset anyone this year, guys! It's cool!

So, my official apologies to team ballsweat.

lol! polyphonic, were you bel biv monroe? I feel the same as clay :/ I even forgot to put in two of my guys on sunday

I was indeed.

walking down the street humming the name of this thread today i realized ilh thread names have almost become their own madden cover curse!

can't believe I'm in the finals O_o

it's just u and me dayo, mano y mano

ready to throw in the towel already tbh!

it's a long 10-day week man, can't get discouraged by wednesday

final matchup is v v close!

yeah random season-ending injuries and pre-playoff rest is killing my team

think dayo is gonna get this because he's loaded with dudes who don't know better than to produce huge numbers in early april when they're already eliminated from the playoffs (kwame brown, looking @ u)

(ps this was the ramon sessions effect for like three straight years, look it up, dude used to tear up meaningless april games and star on the hoopshype rumors page like all summer)

says the guy with andre blatche on his team!! haha I have no idea how I'm even contending, thank you marcus thornton (???)?

feel like my team is on some weird bizarro '10 celtics run lol

haha

andray blatche has been money all year fool! no fantasy points for awful hoops iq

jerryd bayless was key for you though, was looking at him the same day you picked him up, though my consolation prize was jordan crawford ???

I know about blatche, I had him last year! yeah calderon went out, bayless was freed from nate

disappointed the add/drop didn't reset on monday, otherwise I woulda had rip hamilton

me too! I saw the note about that rule the day after i used my pickup on crawford. no regrets really, just wish i we could pick up one more guy- so many minor injuries result in guys just shutting it down for the last week. anyway TONIGHT IS FOR ALL THE MARBLES

this is gonna come down to percentages isn't it. lol I'm just happy to be here.

haha it is literally changing by the minute. i think we might tie.

a lot closer than I expected! totally thought I was gonna get stomped. congrats dude!!! basketball galactica really ran through the competition during the second half of the season, and tbh I had no business being in the finals at all. lol

anyway great season ya'll, and thanks to m bise for setting this all up for us (again)

thank you, thank you- great final round dayo. i think if monta ellis hadn't shut it down i probably would have lost- i'm sure he would have murdered the percentages and you had a huge lead on the main counting stats (pt/reb/ast/st) which was my main steez all year.

def thanks to m bison as always and i think its time to retire my team name after three or four straight years.

btw overall i love this league format: weekly head-to-head and one move per week are total keepers to me.

^ agreed with this and congrats to hibachi. I had a good two year run, but you are a worthy successor.

thanks mang, good lookin out on the kg-tim duncan-charlie "madman" villanueva trade too. anything is possssibbblllllleeee! *tears*

How about two moves per week? Compromise?

good season/congrats y'all. also love the format, also think my team name is getting stale
