NBA BTTF III - Draft Over! War of attrition underway... (2 Viewers)

[Abraham]

Still have to make a couple picks.

 

[Frostillicus]

Ok, I'm not sure if everyone caught up or not, but no more picks allowed at this point. Players are dropping like flies and we can't let the lazy gain an advantage.

 

[Abraham]

Should have my next couple picks some time tomorrow.

 

[Gr00vus]

 

[Abraham]

Lots of value left considering all these injuries

 

[scoobus]

Dario Saric would be a good pick for you Abe.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Going to fire up a fantrax league again here. Probably will take a few days to get rosters in since I can't do it at the office.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Just noticed that Eephus started with Love/Favors just like I did last year.

Spoiler

Just missed the playoffs

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

Love Favors sounds like a cool porno title

 

[Yo Mama]

Love Favors sounds like a cool porno title

Needs Rudy Gay IMO.

Got 4-5 teams input last night, will try and do more tonight. If you weren't in the fantrax league last year, I'll need your email address to invite you. Hopefully the rest of you saw the league was renewed? If not, I can send out a mass invite too once everything is loaded.

 

[rodg12]

I didn't get an email, but the Fantrax league is showing up now for me on the site.

Props to Abe for saving me some time on team input.

Abe's so skilled he only needs 16 guys.

Antetokounmpo will start at point guard Tuesday against the Cavaliers, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Fantasy Analysis

Rumors have floated throughout the offseason that the Bucks would be running Antetokounmpo at the point this season, and he'll make his first start at the position in the absence of Brandon Knight (groin), who is not making the trip to Cleveland. Antetokounmpo had an impressive showing working at point guard off the bench over the weekend, and he'll look to carry over that momentum Tuesday, as the Bucks will roll out a starting five in which every player is listed at 6-8 or taller.

OMGOMGOMGOMG

Can't wait for him to need the minutes at the end of the season.

Super happy my 3rd round pick decided to eat himself out of shape. At least he still has 2 healthy feet (and obviously a healthy appetite) though.

I watched that game. He was much better in the second half when he was playing PG. Was invisible in 12 or so first half minutes playing off the ball, but looked good when the offense was going through him. Of course Chicago didn't really do much to test him, just let him dribble up court and didn't run any traps or double teams at him. It'll be interesting to see how he does in a start where he'll have to deal with that. I think he's probably best suited to a point forward type role off the bench right now, where he runs the offense with the second team.

Jodie Meeks (back) will miss at least the next two months with a stress reaction in his lower back.

Phew, would've been my pick if I hadn't made that trade with Yo Mama.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Homer pick alert. I like this guys game. Can play some defense and shoot the 3.

Kentavious Caldwell Pope SG

This guy could be a steal at 9.22 with Meeks out.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Vitor Faverani C Boston Celtics
Faverani (knee) will be out six-to-eight weeks after undergoing surgery Monday to clean inflammation and evaluate his left meniscus.
Fantasy Analysis

Faverani initially underwent left knee surgery in March, but after swelling persisted, he was sent back to Spain for a second opinion last weekend. That trip resulted in Faverani needing another procedure to clean his knee out and will now sideline the center for up to two months. With the Celtics currently featuring 16 players in training camp, there's speculation that Faverani could be released to trim Boston's roster to the regulated size. However, unless such a decision is made, Faverani will remain on the Celtics' injury report for the foreseeable future.
Vitor, no!

If the loss of Jodie Meeks is catastrophic to your team, then your team isn't very good.

He injured his knee the other day as well. Nothing major, but out for a couple of weeks. He was doing well this preseason.

Didn't see the game, but judging by his line:

23 mins, 0-5 FG, 4 Rebs, 0 Ast, 1 TOV, 4 Pts, 5 PF

I'm guessing it didn't go all that well.

16.04 Quincy Acy F

Takes out his teammate and commits a flagrant foul on the same play

Quincy Acy has emerged as the leading candidate to start at power forward for the New York Knicks. Acy gives the Knicks more defense at the position than Amar'e Stoudemire or Andrea Bargnani would provide. Bargnani started the first preseason game for the Knicks, but he's since been out with a hamstring strain.

“No I didn’t plan on coming here to start,’’ Acy told The Post with a chuckle. “I planned on coming here and playing hard to earn minutes. I guess I impressed enough with my defense to earn a spot. I don’t know what coach got going if I’m starting or coming off the bench or not playing, but I’ll be happy.’’

“It’s important to have guys like Iman and [Acy] because there’s certain types of intensity and mind-set that’s contagious within the team,’’ Derek Fisher said. “That high motor. Teammates enjoy feeding off it. Right now we have some guys born that way.’’

Yeah, I know it's the Knicks

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

C - Vucevic, Plumlee, Collison, Stiemsma

PF - Griffin, Kirilenko, Landry, Stokes

SF - Hayward, Dunleavy, Budinger

SG - Korver, Prigioni, Fields

PG - Lin, Nash, Shved, Ware

I was about to brag about being in 1st in Fantrax, then I realized only 6 people have set lineups and everyone else's roster is illegal. Should probably get that sorted out if we're going to use Fantrax standings for divisions.

I'll retroactively set it sooner or later...and invite timmer

 

[Gr00vus]

That's possibly the worst fantasy sports management interface I've ever used.

I believe a lot of it is due to the stupid way I have the lineups. I could make it 18 flex for all it matters. I just like seeing the starters/key reserves...

Well, I set the first lineup and you've been surpassed.

I blame Missing Ersan. He's played 12 minutes and has 5 fouls.

Still has that same stupid haircut too.

Added Rafer Alston and Sam Cassell to Abe's team so I can set a legal lineup for him...a couple of fantastic former Rockets.
