I'm gonna lose because I hosed up and forgot to put Kendrick nunn in on Monday after picking him up on waivers and then a bunch of guys got injured. I guess I deserve this for not having it happen to me all regular season

I'm probably gonna lose because I forgot once again that sometimes games start at 10 am Pacific time. Honestly losing will be a relief, it's pretty demoralizing to invest time day after day after day into cobbling together a starting lineup of marginal starters only to tie with someone who hasn't touched their roster in months yet still automatically puts up virtually the same score. Lesson thoroughly learned: do not build your roster around injury-prone players

The 10 am thing sucks, I think for next season maybe we should do away with roster locking at game start even though that is a fantasy staple (to the point I'm not 100% sure it is something I can change) . It's different on ESPN where you can pretty much mess with your roster the entirety of the day that games are on, being locked out of doing most things from 4:30 PM to 5:00 AM is tough. E: Yeah I can only stop players from being added to waivers at the start of games. . . which I guess could at least be somewhat better.

Down ~90 points, my opponent is finished, and all I have left is Kelly Oubre and Buddy Hield. One of these guys is gonna give me 30 w/ 5 3PM and the other will score 2 and I'll lost the matchup by 10

Disappointing for as well as my team played this season to go home in the first round but that is the fantasy life. James Harden certainly isn't considered injury prone and this was supposed to be a breakout season for Shai and like Murray's injury,, Tobias Harris falling off at the end, poo poo happens.

all im asking is for my team to score the most points every week of the playoffs and i think its a fair ask, imo also asking for russel westbrook to not have over 300 pts against me in a single week, asking fairly hard for that

hahaha I totally forgot to set my players for today, the last and most important day of the playoff round. What a way to end the season. edit: lol Darius Garland (67 points) and Jarrett Allen (77 points) sat on the bench and I ended up losing by 13 points.

the trade system enforcing roster construction rules before the trade even completes is annoying, i cant offer mason plumlee(fantasy playoff game winner) for james harden(didnt even show up) e: oh i guess we dont follow the bracket and instead im against not-saruman. this is good, for me

Wondering how folks feel on whether it would make sense to have either an additional bench slot or one less active lineup spot next season. Most of the time (just about all the time, in my experience) there's zero flexibility afforded in deciding who to start. I"m sure part of this is injury woes across the league making roster management trickier, but there seems to never be a choice on lineup. Most days it's just "start literally anyone/everyone who's playing that night", which obviously is still fun, but there's almost no decision-making or gambling on your lineup choices. Today was the first day literally all season that I actually had to choose between a pair of starters, and it was only because starting Porzingis would mean taking him off IR and releasing someone else off the team. At no point in this season have there been any moments like hmmm start [high-usage 6th man] against Portland's dogshit defense or [starting PG] against Utah. I don't know if that kind of juggling is more frequent in a normal season, or if it's even preferable, but this season has been largely ride-or-die w your draft and not much lineup flexibility night-to-night. Not sure if anyone agrees/cares, just thinking out loud EDIT: Also Rick I don't suppose being GM unlocks any export capabilities not available to regular members? Part of me want to dump everything into a spreadsheet and wallow in league stats for poo poo like biggest bust based on draft position, biggest steal not named Russell Westbrook, top undrafted player etc etc Some of this could be pulled by other means but it would be a lot easier if there was a way to take the Lothlorien season specifically and dump it to csv w scoring system intact if that makes sense. I assume that's a no but thought I'd ask. rivetz fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Apr 29, 2021 |

^I've thought about this the last couple of days and concluded I have no opinion Nicest thing I can say about my third crack at ruining the unbeaten season is that at least Westbrook and Jokic aren't playing on Sunday

They unfortunately haven't released a formal way to export anything yet. There are a lot of ways to import, but, not the other way around. There is an API though that apparently supports pulling data from individual leagues, so we could get more from that. It is a little bit beyond me as a humble computer janitor who never learned anything beyond php. If any of us know Javascript maybe they can work with it? I have a friend who might be willing to do it, too. I also would be interested in seeing that extra stuff. ----- I am for experimenting with shortening the rosters or adding a bench spot if other people also want to try that, I agree that there aren't a lot of decisions, or at least there hasn't been this year. Maybe after the season everyone who wants to stay in, I can send out a poll of some sort as to what features people agree on. I will say it's usually even worse in a non-compressed season, now we're at about 8-12 games a day, in normal season's it' usually it's more like 5-9. Since most people end up picking around one player per team, it gets rare that there is a ton of overlap. But then again maybe adding more roster spots would cause people to have more players from a single team which would lead to more choices.

Every time I tried to micro manage and overthink it I ended up losing points. Should have just trusted my gut more. Can’t wait til next year. Should be a good showdown in the Finals here coming up. Gentle reminder to pick a keeper if you haven’t yet

I would have made it through to the next round but I must have forgot to click Save Lineup. The Yahoo league has an auto save so that's way easier.

Should've held firm to my principles and never trusted a Sixer, let alone two Also I probably should've been smarter with my last day micromanagement and realized Rick Carlisle calling Tim Hardaway "our ironman" meant he was about to get rested but I knew I wouldn't be home when injury reports came out and had to do something down ~200

I think switching sites should also be on the table of things to consider. For me it's a mixed bag, there are a lot of quality of life things on Yahoo and ESPN that I miss,r but not the level of control of the rules, and no email draft which is also really nice.

Should things come to a vote, I'm on Team Fleaflicker. Migrating to a big machine like ESPN/Yahoo feels like such a sellout, whereas the homegrown vibe of this site make it totally worth any inconveniences in my book. I'm in next year regardless but I dig where we're at way more than some polished juggernaut, I don't need to see some fuckin Bud Light banner or whatever every eight seconds.

His worst fantasy game since the start of April netted 54 points, and that's the only one under 65. Insane.

I am going to clear rosters on August 2nd, if you still need to set your keeper, you only have a few days. I am thinking of starting the draft at some pointlate August, maybe even early September. I am probably going to remove the people who were inactive for more than half the season. They're welcome to rejoin if interested, or if they say something about wanting to stay before I do that. Also we can welcome new members now. If you don't want to play next year, no worries, but please say so, so that we can make sure and remove your team before the draft.
