^Although Sessions is a moderate risk/high reward player, I would still accept it for Rip.

 

[kicks r me]

Who do you take as a benched guard H2H standard 9 categories: Jameer Nelson, Chris Duhon, or Rafer Alston - primarily for Assists, steals, pts.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

^I would bench Duhon outta those three.

 

[chris boshs neck]

duhon no doubt

Did a hell of a lot better this week than last week.

League 1: 5-4-0 against the gr8
League 2: 6-3-0 against Paul..

League 3: 6-4-0
League 4: 6-3-0 against Paul part deux

League 5: 7-2-0
League 6: 2-10-0 (dude demolished me

)
League 7: 7-2-0
League 8: 6-3-0
League 9: 5-3-0
League 10: 4-5-0 (lost by both 3 three's and 4 blocks)
League 11: 5-2-0
League 12: 6-4-0
League 13: 6-3-0
League 14: 6-4-0
League 15: 1-7-0 (absolutely dominated again)
League 16: 10-2-0

Total week in points.. 88-61-0 , pretty pleased, but would have liked to at least shorten up those two losses a bit, could pose a problem later in the League.

I'll beat you when we face each other next time.

 

[japanair21]

Yeah okay bud.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Laugh now but you'll see.




Eh, I just hope I can put up a better fight than just lose to you 3-6

.

 

[eaglebball1499]

I too felt much better about my performances this week:

League 1: 8-1-0 against Burner Sports
League 2: 6-3-0 against CP1708
League 3: 7-2-0 against McGrady Guy
League 4: 7-2-0 against team2to4weeks

 

[parada45]

Anyone know what's up with Mike Dunleavy?

 

[Los Angeles]

I'm really debating Josh Howard for Gerald Wallace.

Josh Howard has that wrist sprain, Gerald Wallace always comes up with a nice stat line - but with his impending trade and his injury prone self, im debating.

thoughts

 

[kal ripped ken]

I would keep Josh...Gerald Wallace is bound to miss around 20 games this season. Josh also shoots pretty well and gets a lot of boards too

 

[rfx45]

What is up with Foye? He is doing horrible this season and even got kicked out of the starting line-up for Telfair.
Should I consider dropping him Bargnani?
I'm just not sure when he will snap out of it.

 

[untroubled youth]

^ I have him too and I am holding him for a few more weeks. If MIN uses him as their starting SG his game will really improve..

 

[japanair21]

I'd start to make the move for Telfair, he's been playing well.

If you have a roster spot you can free up, Telfair, Marquis Daniels, Nick Young, Brandan Wright, and Roger Mason are all VERY good temporary or even long-timepickups.

 

[chihigh91]

What is a keeper league?
Oh and Hinrich is on the waivers list, should I pick him up? Potentially dropping Ryan Gomes for him.

 

[japanair21]

Hinrich is out for 3 months, not unless you want to wait for him, which would be foolish.

Keeper-leagues are leagues in which there are no drops and no trades I believe, possibly trades, but pretty sure no drops.

 

[eaglebball1499]

Don't bother with Hinrich: he's out for three months and was playing very inconsistently anyway. Not worth waiting on that long.

 

[chihigh91]

Hmm he is slated to return around mid February and the fantasy playoffs aren't until mid March. But yeah thanks on the info on keeper leagues.

Also, this is a 20-team league so quality waivers don't come around often.

I already have Daniels and he is a sure thing as I heard Dunleavy might be out for the season. 15-7-3 w/ 1 block isn't bad at all.
Mason will be temporary until Ginobili and Parker returns and Wright is in the same boat until Wallace comes to GW.
Young isn't consistent yet and only provides points I believe. The same with Telfair, He is not consistent yet but does provide points and assist.
My league is fast when it comes to drops and pick-ups. All of them are picked up and I only got Daniels because I picked him up 2 weeks ago.

 

[chihigh91]

Can anyone tell me if these deals were win for me?

Send Ramon Sessions, Mil PG
Receive Richard Hamilton, Det SG

and

Receive Jermaine O'Neal, Tor C
Send Ryan Gomes, Min SF
Send Charlie Villanueva, Mil PF

League settings are h2h points, points=1, rebs=1.5, assists=2, stls/blocks-2.5.
Got tired of Charlie Villanueva, I had high hopes for him when I drafted him but looks like Skiles hates him for having no eyebrows, dude is still one of myfavorite players but just too inconsistent to be on my squad. And Gomes lost his starting job to a rookie, enough said. I also needed a C since I was weak atthat position. As for Sessions, tremendous upside but again, he has Skiles as a head coach.



Also, should I drop Bargnani, Brandan Wright or Nesterovic?

 

[japanair21]

Well, I made four other e-mails for this weekend, totaling to 16 drafts this weekend, and 40 all together,

. I'm just updating once a week, andwill probably only follow my first four leagues closely, I just wanted to draft some more.

(JapanAir11-91, and my original email, iloveyugirl).

Note: I think I like this draft, I'm not sure.

. I definitely lost assists this league, so I tried to pile up on scorers. I took TP since I knewI'd struggle early regardless. This League doesn't look too good, but I was happy to get Wade with the 8th pick. The bottom of my draft is just reallyMEHHH.

League Two- 8th pick out of 12.

Note: I was trying to get at least Wade, but it didn't happen. I didn't have Dwight in many leagues, so I figured hell why not. Once again, I'll begiving up assists every week, and I got the injured duo out in SAS, so I'll have to weather the storm for a while. I was pleased I was able to get Scolaand Haslem (really underrated role players who get around 14/8 each). Then I got the super-sleeper, Marquis Daniels. This team won't have a problem scoringonce everyone gets healthy, it's just my assists, blocks and FT%. Not a great draft again.

Note: Wade and Brand pleased me, then TD? I was going to get him with my 2nd round pick.

. Once Maggette getsback, this team
will be a powerhouse on the boards/points. FG%/FT% isn't too bad, obvoiusly once again settling without assists. Turnovers will be
a LITTLE high, but I can win some weeks with players who have a lot of PGs. Steals will be decent too. Best of the first three.

League Four- 1st out of 10 (

first time I EVER got first pick).

Note: What a long draft..

. I was satisfied with my first 10 picks, I got a solid foundation for assists with Paul, Davis, and Roy. Rebounds looked goodwith Al Jeff, Bynum, Nene and Okafor. What solidified my team was the 10-24th picks. Sessions, Ridnour, Telfair, and Brooks are pretty good backups to my PGs,but I was sorta upset I didn't get Marquis. Probably the best of my this e-mail, but not great.

. This team just isn't that good. Other than Baron, no assists. I SHOULD win blocks with Smoove, Goose, Tyson, Gerald, andNene, steals are iffy, but my main issue is scoring, and FT%. I just don't see this team doing too well, unless I get some good FA pick-ups. VERY mediocre.

Note: This was weird as hell, because it was only 11 players deep. I hope LBJ, Nash, VC, Tracy, and Ramon will be enough to be competitive every week.Reboudning is real iffy with only three power-rebounders with Nene, Emeka, and Biedrins. Three's should be good. Scoring SHOULD be good once TP comes back,and Tracy starts playing like he has a set between his legs.

Note: I had avoided Chauncey Billups for a while, I didn't really want him because I didn't know how he'd mesh in Denver, but I just picked himbecause it was my best option. First League of this bunch where I got decent PG action. Rebounds, blocks, and scoring should be easy pickings every week, butI'm just not too sure about any of the other stats..

Note: This League is DAMN ******ed. Why? Because the ONLY stat every week is points. Shame on me for not looking at the settings before signing up. Wade,Dwight, Kmart, SJAX, and Manu/Monta once they get back should be good, but I just really don't know what to expect from a league like this, it's justunorthodox and probably will end up forgetting about this League.

Note: I love getting Amare late..

. Once again losing assists, but got a bunch of scoring PGs. Decent three point shooting, FT% is alright, I justdon't know about steals and blocks every week. Didn't do too well this draft.

Note: What else is new, being the last pick.

. Caron and Granger is alright, but I was pleased getting Caron's sidekick and the leader of ATL

.Then having Andris, Gerald, and SJAX all slip to me, I couldn't have asked for much more. I knew I'd have to grab an injured guy in hopes to look downthe line. Assists aren't great, but waht I like about this team is the ability to score around the floor, to steal the ball, and to fill
up the stat sheet for multiple guys (really by 1st-7th picks).

Note: Now THIS is a draft I like!

. I got the good sleepers in Nate, Spencer, and Marquis, and still be able to get regular players who get picked way tooearly normally in Randolph and Tracy. This League I definitely won't be competitive in rebounds, but other than that, it looks promising. I would haveliked to get Nene instead of Kenyon, but this is a pretty good team. Good picks 1-13.

Note: Bosh, Dirk, VC, JJ, Artest, Howard, and Tracy and Rip really pleased me, didn't think I'd get half of these guys. Once TP comes back,
this team should control points and threes, hopefully be a little competitive in assists, rebounds and dominate steals. Not bad.

Note: Note: I have no clue why I picked Amare and Dwight, but then I got two great assists guys in Calderon/Kidd. Got some back-up in rebounds by draftingTawn, Biedrins, and Ak47. Assists were solidified with SJAX, Ramon, and I added Nate for Rondo. Got great scorers in Amare, Dwight, SJAX, Mayo, Quis, andGoose. Probably my most BALANCED team that I've posted thus far. Was pretty happy with it.

Note: Reeeeunited and it feeels so gooood!

. I am plenty pleased with this team. Dirk, Nash, Shard, JJ, Zach, Mayo, all studs in three's. Scoringshouldn't be a problem all year, and have four guys who should end the year with ~10 rebounds each (Goose, LA, Horford, Zach, and maybe even Dirk if hedecides to play hard). Assists is meh, but I tried to be a little competitive. Blcoks are decent, steals are a little better, but what I like ist he FT% andFG%. I retract what I said about the League prior to this one. THIS is my most balanced.

Note: Last pick, what a surprise. I'm not quite sure what I was doing drafting Dwight again relatively early. I should have a strangle-hold on reboundswith Bosh, Dwight, Tawn, Goose, AK47, Scola, Haslem, and Joel (Overkill?

). Then I have Bosh, Dwight, Goose, AK47, Joel, B-Wright all capable of beingshot-blockers, so I was pleased there as well. Points should be competitive, with Bosh, Howard, Roy, Tawn, Goose, Rip, TP, Quis being great/good scorers, andhaving secondary scoring is always nice. Three's will probably be abyssmal, only having Roy, Jamison, Hedo, Posey, and Farmar. Assists are meh once again,but hopefully I'll keep a low TO-total every week.


Just for those that wondering how I keep up, I have a spreadsheet set-up while I draft that I keep, has which players are on which team, and I just check thescores daily, see if anyone is hurt or doing very bad, or if there's a sleeper who's starting to play well. Only updating once a week is a littledangerous, but I just don't have the time to sit and wait everyday to see who's on the FA list every 2 minutes,

. Sorry for clogging up this post,but it'll hit the next page soon,

League settings are h2h points, points=1, rebs=1.5, assists=2, stls/blocks-2.5.
Got tired of Charlie Villanueva, I had high hopes for him when I drafted him but looks like Skiles hates him for having no eyebrows, dude is still one of my favorite players but just too inconsistent to be on my squad. And Gomes lost his starting job to a rookie, enough said. I also needed a C since I was weak at that position. As for Sessions, tremendous upside but again, he has Skiles as a head coach.



Also, should I drop Bargnani, Brandan Wright or Nesterovic?

The Rip deal I definitely like. JO has been rather lackluster, so you might want to explore more options.

 

[Los Angeles]

Am I tripping or is anyone else NOT seeing their stats?

On my page it gives me the:

Get real time scoring with StatTracker[emoji]174[/emoji] and receive up to the minute fantasy stats for the rest of the season.
Get StatTracker

?

 

[japanair21]

That's normal.

The first two weeks they give you a preview of what that StatTracker is.

You have to buy it after that to get up-to-the-minute stat updates.

I never bought it, it's not worth it. Just know who's on your team.
