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 fixed it although I don't know if it matters doing it this late, sorry just saw this now.

Thanks man, yeah it helped a little. I was feeling smug for being so well prepared and then wondered why my coach rating was 77% haha.

I may come to regret giving up on JJJ but I thought he'd be back a lot sooner. I would be surprised if he was back before April, and I'm sure they're going to take it really slow easing him back into the rotation. DeAndre Hunter's injury isn't as bad and has a much better recovery outlook, plus he's apparently ahead of schedule on getting back on the floor.

setting your lineups and realizing your team thats already had like 50 games missed in the past 2 weeks just had another top scorer sit out is depressing

If only I was missing my top scorer I'd be grateful.

I've made a lot of good bets on benc h players this season but Patty Mills is the biggest mistake anyone's made, he managed ~3 points tonight.

Oof I rode the Patty Mills roller coaster of hope a few times. He had some bonkers games early in the season.

I WILL win a game this year though, even if I have to beat Dejan to do it.

I am fine with that, what do other people think? I will say if I drop it to 8 then there is no off week for the playoff teams.

It's Patty Mills still, lol, I didn't have time today to cut him before his game started so Beal is stuck on the IR.

I have left around ~200 points on the bench so far this week but I am leading the league in scoring this week at the moment so I guess it doesn't matter.

Yesterday I saw the little thumbtack next to Harden’s name on Rick’s team, got curious, and figured out how to designate my keeper.

Later that day Curry breaks his coccyx. Coincidence? We’ll never know.

But does having a keeper screw things up or does it mean the draft order is the same too? Would be weird if the person with the #1 pick last season kept that player and then got the #1 pick in the new draft.

I think draft order is going to be based on record. Might be worth trading a keeper quality player for a pick.

If you don't set any keepers you get an extra pick at the end but that seems like bad compensation. Maybe in a league with a lot of keepers it would make sense to give one up.

Thrilled just to be at .500 after being without both AD and KD for this stretch. If I can scrape together enough points to stay in the mix until they get back on the court I can be the scrappy underdog nobody wants to face™

Did Pop decide to sit out until LeBron is healthy again?

The Maestro
Feb 21, 2006
If so, then I guess we’re lucky he was able to draft him in the first place or else he would have just dropped out.

This is my week, I can feel it. I’m going to get my first win. The only major earner on my team that won’t be sitting due to a trade is Oladipo and he doesn’t play b2bs anyways. Curry won’t be sitting either but that’s an inflamed tailbone for ya

i am being a sore loser yes. that all star stretch was loving brutal for me and as soon as it looked better lebron and taters went down in a week i could have beaten the last undefeated guy. ill try to remember to check when i have a winnable game again but just playing all the best teams who I was previously toe to toe with just as my entire team implodes is uh, rough times

I can understand that, I am playing the best team in Dejan's league at the moment and am actually nearly tied and have AD, Kawhi and am make the same Dragic mistake over there and would be winning if my fate was better.

It's a lot less fun when dealing with a lot of injuries.

I also really hate the all star format of this league.

Lol drat I've been trying to add Moses Brown for four days but I have been busy during work before his game started or the guy who I wanted to cut's game started already before I woke up and now I get outbid for him.

Also, I tried to add him in Dejan's league and Dejan thought of it first. Mosesssssssssssss

So the playoff format's staying as-is (vs shrinking to six or eight)?

E: am I going soft or was that something that was tossed around as an idea? I skimmed lightly back through the last couple pages but couldn't find it.

also sorry re: Moses, Rick lol
