Man, the knicks postponement sucks. Took a hit in my matchup not having Amar'e and Chandler tonight.

I'd take Beno of those 3 right now. I don't know what Salmons problem is though.

Pick 2 (for friday):

A. Affalo v. LAC
Ja. Crawford @T-wolves
L. Williams v. Cavs
A. Tolliver v. Hawks**

some players just don't have an offensive game (ben wallace/reggie evans). not sure who you're referring to though

 Reggie Evans is killing me when he had 10 offensive rebounds, 9 defensive rebounds to go along qith his 6 points. 
So far, my teams total offesive rebounds is 3. 

It happens, there are those specialty players in fantasy basketball who will only get you a single stat. 

 

[jj1223]

I was talking about Camby, but really I'm just mad that my team has been underachieving

Tolliver might get an increase in minute with Beasley potentially out (is he?), but I'd still stick with Lou Williams definitely, and making your decision between Crawford and Arron.

Tough decision, but I'd probably pick Arron. Unless you're really dying on rebounds, I'd start Lou and Arron. Arron doesn't really turn the ball over, he'll hit a three or two, and he'll get a couple steals. Arron is a safe choice. Crawford could go off, but he may also kill you and shoot 4/13 or something like that.

 -2 pts in his last 2 games where he played 15 min each.

 

[bangdak]

I'd say Jamal and Lou.

 

[duba169]

AAAAAND that's why you don't choose Crawford.

 

[japanair21]

Also, I'm enthused to see Brand putting up some good numbers and not only that but helping Philly get some wins. I really like Philly, and I've always been a huge fan of Brand, I always wanted to see him in a winning situation.

yea. Dropping Turner for Brand is working out nicely.

I dont get it?

Unless you're referring to him missing today's game, but he did ask for games on friday, not wednesday

However, Jamal's out friday, so you should have an easy decision.

Yeah I know, but still, Jamal was out, and will be out I guess, I just said that because I saw the DNP.

Arron had a great night tonight. 17/5/2 with 3 three's and a steal/block.

 

[thasoleful1]

should i drop beno, ibaka, or salmons for either rjeff or batum

 

[shady4life]

If anyone was late like me getting into a league this year, I just set up a Yahoo League for live draft this Sunday at 8:30 PM, here's the info:

League ID #: 134407
Password: basketball10

Need 6-8 more teams.

Do it.

 

[rfx45]

Do you guys think it is a good idea to drop Rip Hamilton for CJ Miles?
I also have Calderon, which just sucks, even his ft% is way down.
I would drop Haywood for Miles but I am short in bigs right now.

I want to pick-up Bledsoe too but his pt will be down once Foye and Baron returns.

Opinions? Ideas?

I'd hold off on jumping on CJ Miles, but I will keep my eyes on him as well as bledsoe. It's Baron's job to lose but I would not be surprised he ends up losing it eventually. Just watch both of them closely.

[diew its james]

 Both got picked up 20 minutes after I made that post. Sucks, this is the first time I've been in a league this deep and the fa wire is really slim right now.
