well, without hughes around, arenas could lead the league in scoring this year. The Wiz are going to be horrible, but he'll get his.

Should we consider making the league 12 managers? That would be stretching the talent.

Or some other way to get managers that have never played with us in?

Btw why the hell isn't Joe Johnson a pg? thats BS.

we had 12 last year. it takes too long to get things started. We barely made it with 10.

we've had rookies every year.

did you factor in his pre-philly (ie Queens) stats in your formula? I'm pretty sure if you subtracted those numbers he'd be a big piece of turd.

Some piece of turd, huh?

Its an 82 game season, you know hes going to be sitting out the last 10 games if they are going to the playoffs.

Haha, no chance the sixers are that secure after 72 games that they bench their #2 player for the season. They're not miami

He could be "hurt" and just resting.

 

[Kev]

Maybe, but he looked really good last night. He was actually posting up and playing good defense. I liked what I was seeing.

Could he move? Also how many years are left on his contract?

 

[Kev]

He's got 3 years left and yeah he could move. According to him this is the best is felt in a long time.

Man... Why did I have to play against Michael Redd?

He is on fiiiiiiiiiire

 

[Stark]

19 pts 9 boards, 2 for 3 FT, sixers lose by 20

What does the sixers sucking have to do with him being a good 7th round fantasy pick?

 

[BaboonGuy]

WTF THANKS FOR INVITING ME JERKS!!!

 

[vi edit]

In my league this week, I lead the entire league (not just my matchup) in points, rbs, FT%, steals, and assists. I missed 3PT's by 2, and blocks by 1.

It was a very good week. Richard Jefferson was a man amongst men this week.

because you know that first game was an abberation that will fade quickly from memory. And you know you'll have to dump him the first time he misses back to back games because of another injury. 7th round might be good if we had 15 managers, but he's barely a top 100 guy these days.

Recaps this year?

Recap #1 ?Week #3 - No Training Wheels

I?m sitting here watching the Clippers claim the title of ?best team in LA? and pondering why my fantasy team is so bad. ET went home, came back to socal and now wears #19 for the Clips. The power of Tex Winters and the zen his dojo teaches is fading, it appears.

So what can we assume from the first three weeks of the season? Here are 10 things I?ve learned:

1. Larry Brown is overrated. Sure, he?s the only guy to have both NCAA and NBA championship trophies as a coach, but he blew it by alienating everyone in Detroit and fleeing to NY. How does a guy who made AI an MVP and Billups a playoff star suddenly make the self proclaimed "best point guard in the league" a has-been? He could be rolling off wins in Motown right now and Starbury could be taking 30 shots a game with a ?lesser? coach, but no... he has to screw up my stats.

2. DS has the team to beat. I say this after getting my tail kicked by the ?Naters last week, but I called this as soon as the draft finished. That team is so loaded it?s sickening. Unless KG or Ray-Ray go down for a long stretch this season, he has the regular season payout locked up. Seriously, the USA should send his team to the next Olympics. BTW, I almost met the Deaf one last month, but he had an appointment in Miami with D Wade and Shaq, so I?ll have to visit again the next time the Socks win the WS.

3. The Midgets are good, but not the best. You just can?t win it all with:
A. three white centers, especially when the best one of the bunch is from Turkey.
B. two guys from Turkey.
C. a bunch of guys who score 20+ one night and 6 the next.

4. Man Boobs will bounce back. I just can?t see gleong?s team staying in the cellar with a healthy T-Mac and so many good all-around players.

5. Smush is for real. I?m still not sure how Cassell ended up on the wrong team in LA... oh wait, that?s right - Kupcheck is the worst GM in the league... but anyway, Smush is pretty entertaining to watch. Especially after enduring a season of Up-Chucky Atkins.

6. If the Lakers make the playoffs, Kobe will get the MVP. This is somewhat depressing, but entertaining at the same time. The Lakers could have kept Shaq and been title contenders, but at least they have the next MVP. I wonder if Chris Klein feels like this when he sees Katie Holmes on the cover of every magazine becaue she's dating a gay psychopath who worships aliens... "I just want her to be happy... really I do."

7. Marcus Camby is not the best player of the season so far, despite what the Yahoo stat page filter claims. Along those same lines, Rasheed isn?t a top 100 guy for my team, let alone top 10. What a horrible pick by me. I?ve given up on relying on Yahoo for FA pickups at least for awhile.

8. The FA pool is garbage. Where are all the breakout players floating around in FA? I thought limiting it to 10 managers would improve the situation. Maybe the talent level in the league really is going downhill with all these high school kids coming out early.

9. How do you get the nickname ?Pooh?? Sorry, half-time show comment. Pooh Richardson: who do you have to tick off to earn the nickname that equates with either a gluttonous Disney character or... the potty training term for feces?

10. There are no training wheels this season. Turnovers and ejections allowed most teams to at least get a few points each week. Not this year... expect to see more bagels than in a Jewish deli in Manhattan.

 

[vi edit]

My team so far is:

Arenas(PG)
Smush (PG/SG)
Carter (SG/SF)
R. Jefferson (SF)
S. Jackson(SG/SF)
R. Lewis (SF)
Walker(F)
Shareef A.R.(F)
Okafor (F/C)
Camby(C)

And then a swing position that I use daily to fill spots (Usually Barbosa, Ridnour, or Mo Williams)

So far I'm completely dominating everyone. Every week I've been in the top of the league in blocks, treys, boards, points, FG% and FT%. Steals are quite high. Assists are pretty average. I lose every matchup in TO's and personal fouls.

We'll see how long Camby stays healthy, Lewis puts up 30+ a game, and how long I can ride a guy named Smush.

 

[Stark]

that's a good team, but over half the team are "high risk" players (expected to spend some time on the bench nursing injuries). If there was an IL, you might be unstoppable.
