When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I made a slight rule change because the language of the site is not great, and to give 4 free turnovers as I said at the start, it has to be "between 5 and 9" instead of "4 to 9" which I think is bad English but whatever.

Boy it’s hard to put up points when your #2 and #3 guys are both out. Looking like a genius for my Kanter and Royce O’Neal pickups though! Keeping me out of dead last! Oh wait nope now I’m fully in last place.

I’m like LeBron though I need the motivation. Watch out

^^ I feel you. Right now I have Kawhi, Robinson, Herro, Covington and Bertans out in my Yahoo team. Getting totally smashed.

Hmm ok it's telling me I can't have more than 4 guys that could play centre? But Ayton and Horford can play power forward so not sure why it's being a bastard? Is there a way to fix that or do I need to trade one of my bigs?

Bigs score so many points that it is a standard to cap center. I'll move it up to 5 though because now more players than ever have a C tag so it's definitely a roster constraint.

Do you need a center? I have too many haha. If anyone wants Steve Adams make me an offer!


Wait Kuzma is listed as a center? And Giannis? That 4 center rule could really mess people up.

Thank you I appreciate the sympathy, for lack of a better word, but drat not actually playing Enes cost me 50. I swore I had him started but what can ya do. There’s always tomorrow.

Haha I’m definitely putting some effort in. I’m off work for the weekend though so no more waking up at 6am and grabbing a free agent first thing until Sunday. I’ll give you that.

Feelin good even if Shake Milton disappointed against a weak Portland backcourt - probably actually helped that Dame and Simmons ended up sitting

Funny that you had Wall resting and then I had Oladipo resting, you can’t plan for that kind of thing. Delightful

I was really worried when Wall was listed with nothing but "Achilles" the other day.

E: if it makes you feel better I'm stuck if I don't cut someone I am not quite ready to cut yet and I'm not even counting Melton who I will probably drop to start Cole Anthony instead on Saturday.

Rough! Don’t forget you can set your lineups in advance by hitting the little arrow at the top where the date is.

I almost didn’t get Hayward in which surely would have gifted Rick the W. Stupid Wizards postponement make up games canceling some of my other players’ games, but I think I’d rather have Gordo in than Kanter.

As is it’s gonna be real tight. Curry has been a monster this week but it’s close!

Edit: just lol if Nance breaking his hand and me cutting him for Zubac with 30 mins to tip off ends up winning for me

Squeaked in with the win and all it cost me was a secret multimillion-dollar lobbying campaign in which I convinced the NBA to rejigger Washington's schedule thus forcing the postponement of today's scheduled Blazers-Hornets game so that I would not have to face Dame Lillard

drat that was a crazy close one vs SheLob City - we were within 40 points for the last few days. That postponement saved me! Or will the score be updated once they play those games? How are fantasy leagues taking postponements into account?

It was fun for sure, I really had to think.


One option this league has is giving everyone an additional game against a league average. It's not something I would have thought was a very good idea after our first week but might be a good idea if it stays close like this so you can lose but still pick up another win if you have a good week (potentially brutal though if you have a bad week).

The Maestro
Feb 21, 2006
I just get so attached to my draft boys. Really should have just cut, like, Coby White, to get someone that played on the last day when it’s that close. It was hard enough cutting patty mills and I don’t even like him as a player.
I saw you pick up Nunn and my heart sank because you had an extra guy. I was giddy for a minute though just on how close it was and I had to let it ride.
Gotta treat each week like a season - keep your core guys and fill in the gaps as you go.

I don’t understand what you’re talking about with the extra game though

Basically you play against your opponent and then in addition play against the league average. So you can get two wins, or two losses (or split) a week.

In theory it means you can still get something if you have a bad beat on a good week. But it really is brutal if you have a bad week so I am not sure if it is a good thing.

It is probably not a great endorsement of our system that Cole Anthony is too good to taxi when you look at his real numbers but oh well.

i'm not asking him to do too much. he got to showcase for any other owner in the future that might have a free spot and a phone notification saying "Anthony Davis ruled out." at the end of the year, when kelly oubre and buddy hield are lifting the trophy, having combined with another random pick-up to equal 1.2 lebrons, he'll be able to watch and know that he was technically on the team for 24 hours too, and approximately .4 of a lebron
