Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 I think its funny Ive got OJ in the first round and he just lost Dirk. I shall advance to the 2nd round..yeah! It isn't really funny. It's lucky... but not really funny. Plus, the only thing this locks you up is points. I'll have my keepers in a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2008 BTW, if next year rolls around and you decide you want to choose a different keeper from your team (say, if someone pulls an Elton Brand/Pau Gasol and gets hurt over the summer, and you want to change), feel free. I'm not going to hold you to these, mainly I just want to have a list from everyone so I know whether or not those people will be back next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2008 Gil being out for the year, and not having computer access for the best part of four months, left me no choice but to tank this season. Next season, however, Gil, Rashard and J-5 will be my keepers, and I'll have a good solid base to actually draft well. Sticking around, guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 31, 2008 As the drama in the consolation playoffs continues, I have no idea how I made it past Stern's Suitors since we ended in a 4-4 tie, and he had the better record to finish the season, but somehow he's stuck playing alf for 9th-11th place, while I'll have a shot at the venerable, prestigious 7th place game.

Krankor 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Team Random Hero to the 2nd round of the playoffs! That's three straight years! I'm pretty happy about that streak especially in a league of this size. I'm sure the ride is once again going to end in a 2nd round exit for my team. Jermaine O'Neal's comeback has already destroyed the delicate structure that caused Troy Murphy to play incredible the past few weeks and Drew Gooden has an ab strain. Playing with the corpse of Wade on my bench will be my ultimate demise against Steviekick. My only chance is countless injuries on his team... and I don't see that happening.

The only true weakness I have is FG%. Yep, and Im beating your balanced team 4-3-1 though its really close in all the stats. Im most concerned about the Points category since thats the first tiebreaker and it could very well come down to that. Late Edit: Im probably going to go up 6-2 taking the Blocks and 3's category tonight but by a slim margin on both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfdogg 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2008 Re: trade deadline I figured at the end of the year, if guys want to make some deals to get some new keepers, this would be a good way to do it. For example, let's say you want to get Lamar Odom as a keeper. Since I'm not planning to keep Odom, at the end of the year you just send me any one of your non-keepers for him (we'll say Troy Murphy, again as an example). This would also allow you to make these sort of deals without adversely affecting anyone's playoff chances. If nothing else, we could just take a vote on this, and I can reinstate the deadline if you guys are not in favor. Something I just thought of today: This only applies to returning managers. In other words, if Fokai or Precious Roy (the only two managers I haven't heard from) decide to drop out, no one will be allowed to make trades with those teams. However, keep in mind that you don't have to keep three people, so you could drop one of your current keepers in order to have a better chance to obtain one of their big players in the draft.

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2008 In that case, if neither of them return, I just want to keep Steve Nash. If one of them returns, I'd like to keep Steve Nash and Shawn Marion. If they both return, I'd like to keep Steve Nash, Manu Ginobili, and Shawn Marion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Im conceding the loss based on the fucking people at yahoo saying Vince Carter would need surgery on his ankle and he's out there tonight and scored 34 points plus Ron Artest was out so I basically got royally screwed (pun..haha). If I had his 34 points plus Kevin Martin's 32 plus the 18 from Smith and Miller each I would have taken the points lead going in to tomorrow which would give me a bit of hope for pulling this out somehow. Instead Im screwed unless I pick up the FG and Blocks. I cant calculate FG% but Im down 1 block by my calculations and Champs has Chandler and Battier. If I only win one I lose via the first tiebreaker that is points.. ARGH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Im sitting here agonizing the stat trackers for the games and right now watching my championship hopes go down the toilet. Im screwed on FG% but Im only down 5 3's and 1 block to at least tie. If I were to tie both of those I might backdoor my way into the championship game..but its not likely..

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 Well looks like it'll be second place although I'm still just close enough that if a lot of my guys have monster games, I can win. Not betting on it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krankor 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Some critical games tonight. This has been a close matchup all week long. Ramon Sessions has been a monster in place of Mo Williams. Troy Murphy has managed to fall apart and become useless. My team learned to deal with the loss of Wade a few weeks ago, but the injuries to Drew Gooden and Josh Boone have utterly killed me in the rebounds and blocks categories. I'm fairly certain I have at least 3 categories locked up, every other category is either tied or very very close. FG%, 3PTM, REB, STL, and BLKS are anyones to win. I should win the points category and that would give me the tie breaker. TOOG will have to win those other 5 categories to get the victory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 I did all I could do to try and eek out the Points category and win by tiebreaker given that I had going into tonight 12 players starting tonight/tomorrow vs Ice Cream's 8. I was only down 54 points at the start of tonight so hopefully maybe I can pull that out. I didnt play Kevin Martin tonight because I couldnt afford to have another 0's performance but you watch, he'll probably not only play but also score 40 tonight.

Krankor 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 We're gonna cowboy up. I guess just saying that statement gets you some sort of Boston Red Sox beard karma and helps your team pull off the impossible. I'll have to remember that for next season. Even though that championship matchup ended 7-1, that was still an incredibly close matchup in nearly all the stat categories. I was extremely concerned until Jason Richardson's 8 steal performance on Tuesday. Team Random Hero will be enjoying the off-season in Disney World. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Congrats on winning dude. The Champs Are Here must spend the off-season the same way they've spent it the other seasons - wondering 'what if'. Now with a 3rd place finish in a previous year and 2nd place this year, I'm getting due to take the step to victory. By the way, I'm confirming my keepers are Iverson, Redd and Chandler.
