Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2004 I did the math, being 7.5 games out of 6th place, Im the only team not in the top 6 with a realistic chance to make into the top 6. Over the next two weeks, I have to go 16-0 and Team Failure needs to go 7-8-1 or worse. Not very likely, but just like the NFL league, I've got a chance although Im gonna end up just a bit short again. It's about the same for me making 12th place. And I need a hell of a lot more luck then you do. ...just isn't going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2004 I still hold out hope that the Harlequinns can make a run at it personally. Can't. Mathematically eliminated. It's why I have to go 14-2. No chance for him. No chance for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted March 8, 2004 God damn you, don't you crush the hopes and dreams of those kids in the Harlequinns. Sure, they haven't set their roster in a month but still, hope is alive and it is very much ready to kick our ass. But yes, basically, I'm bitter at that team because I coulda possibly moved up from 6th to 5 or 4th even if Whalers on The Moon hadn't gotten a dead team. Oh the hatred. For some reason I have a feeling I'm gonna end up in 7th and that just saddens me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2004 Another week, another injury. This time its Carlos Arroyo, who got hurt flying into the stands. This pisses me off. Luckily though, Richard Hamilton should be back playing this week and Im hoping Dwayne Wade will be back at some point this week too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2004 It's not often you win 7-1 and drop a place, but now i should only need to win about 5 or so categories over two weeks to secure a playoff spot. Garnett alone should get me most of that. *puts a voodoo curse on Mindless_Agression and alfdogg to secure my playoff spot* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted March 10, 2004 Well Better Than Utah had 2 guys go nuts tonight and the rest either were injured or didn't do shit, so I may luck out, I think I have overall more games this week, but with the likes of Etan Thomas and a streaky Chris Crawford, Hedo Turkoglu, and a now role playing Brad Miller, we still may be in for an ass kicking.

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2004 Has it been determined yet how we're doing next season? I don't feel like digging it up. As far as who gets what draft picks, and are we doing keepers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2004 Regarding the Keeper Issue: Yes, for next season there will be keepers, as well as an expansion (since there are only 15 teams that can possibly return). Drafting will be the expansion team getting the first overall pick of every round (meaning, the offline draft will be non-serpentine), and whoever finishes in what ascending rank of the regular season. Meaning since Harlequinns is last, they have the 2nd overall pick, etc. And since I've had a lot of good feedback regarding our offline draft, we will be using it for the following season. At the end of the regular season of the league, you will choose your two keepers if you wish. If you do not state who you pick or do not wish to retain two keepers, you will have a first and second round draft pick. In the event that everyone takes keepers (and I'm half suspecting this will happen, not sure), the expansion team will then have 2 picks and then the draft will accordingly happen. Meaning the expansion team will have 3 picks for their first round. So please decide soon on whether or not you'll be taking keepers, or whether or not you'll be staying for another season. Only two other notable changes for next season as well. 1) Turnovers will be included into the stats. To get rid of any 4-4 games. 2) Instead of the normal 2G, 2F, 1C, 1U, 3B, and 3IL (I think it's 3IL) for the roster, it'll be changed to 2G, 2F, 1C, 2U, 2B and 2IL.

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2004 I just realized something. I'm cheering on Alfdogg this week. Why? Because if Alfdogg Asylum manages to beat up Pocono Poison, 7-1 and I manage to take my own series against Team 2004 8-0 (it'll most likely be 6-2), I've got a shot at the consolation playoffs. Of course, I still need to rely on Better Than Utah destroying Alfdogg Asylum and Whalers on the Moon destroying Gwanju White Tigers the following week, but if this all happens, I make the playoffs. As my team can beat Pocono Poison. I just need everything to fall into place (which looks like it'll happen). All I can say is wow. Didn't think it would happen like that. I honestly didn't.

Heh... It's so funny that your team is bashing another one. I mean, you're teams doing it pretty nicely as well. You also managed to destroy one team one week as well. Dem are some fighting words. Oh, I'm going to make up for my sorry season by going from last to freaking 7th place. You better believe it. I'm feeling it. Hell, I only need two perfect weeks, which I can get due to more games from my stars, and I'm in). Your team is done for when next season bub.

Damn you, why the hell don't you have a better team WHY?! Some of my best players are on the floor tonight. Juwan Howard is the only other Magic player in double figures with 14 points and 15 Rebounds, Marcus Camby has 12 rebounds, Baron Davis has 18 points. If theres any good news is that White Tigers is inactive and didn't start 2 players (4 of 6) and I've got all 6 spots going tonight. But none of that is gonna match 20/37 FG 17/26 FT 5/14 3's for 62 points 10 rebounds and 5 assists for T-Mac I think hes out of the game, but Im not sure. Theres still like :30 to go and the Magic are only up 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
