It's been a great season. I had fun getting to know you guys this season. Hopefully TSN Hoops will be back next season, and we'll make new memories. |

Haha, well at least one of my "obvious" ones panned out. I had West as my #1 and Brand as my #2. I figured those two had the least risk of sitting out of anyone - West had something to play for, and Brand had nothing to play for when he came back in the first place so you knew he'd play. Plus the Clippers were playing two playoffs teams, so I figured they'd try hard to serve as spoilers for the hell of it. Unfortunately I skipped Richardson entirely, and went with Brand and his 14 point dump on all three teams. Carter ended up recovering at least but he's only on one team. Now I'm just waiting for Roy to disappoint. I'm ready for next season.

Well today went better then expected. Yesterday i said if palyers hit there averages i would be down ten. I am up 30.
Still tho I dont consider it over. Our rosters tomorrow could share as few as 2 players. Even if lebron sits (has this been finalized?) you would just need 8 more TSNP per game from your players. A lot but on the last day anything can happen.
It was discouraging to realize that all the West studs who still have something to play for have been playing poorly of late and I dont know whether to expect that to improve. (Nash, Boozer, Kidd, Dirk, Duncan, TMAC) I will have to see what i want to do. Maybe ill just mirror you tho that is no fun
Also you are writing off the DEN players but it is possible that they decide they want seventh place and the matchup with NO and play hard tomorrow. In Bosh and West i ahve 2 palyers looking to paly limited minutes and i can only move 1

Kudo's on the JRich pick-up. That pretty much summed up the past week for me.
My Denver players could play, but the desperation mode isn't there now, so it's very possible they see similiar minutes to Bosh etc. Plus they are playing Memphis, so that game could be over after the 1st quarter. I'm just thankful that they are talking about playing at all. Atleast that gives me a fighting chance.
Down 31 on the last day and without Lebron playing certainly isn't the scenerio I saw 2 days ago, but that's the hand I was dealt.
It's going to take divine intervention to over come this obstacle, but all things are possible.
I took a vacation day from work tonight so I can stay glued to the TV/computer, lol

yea my fourth is a little more difficult. Coming down to west and Bosh. i guess bosh is expected to only see 20-25 mins. I cant think of any of my players DNP so thats about the worst. West could see limited minutes but they may want to beat DAL so they have a chance to get DEN in first round. I will hope for a DAL victory tho so DEN gives up at least in the second half.
Deciding who to pick up is tough to as i find myself drawn to players whose teams are out of it as the have the higher averages recently but these are likely riskier and I am not sure that is the route that I should go. Maybe just pick up TMAC AI and Camby and make u beat be by 30 4 vs 5. But I feel there are better options. Well we will see and I am real curious who u choose. Hopefully i can find out before the 11 oclock freeze

Sure thing, I'll let you know who I pick after they are froze. That way you can know who to root against.
I agree on some horrible averages from some of the studs lately. It makes our decisions much harder. I have lost alot of confidence in some of those players. Seems like alot of them have really wore down in the 2nd half of the season.
I really need the law of averages to come into play tonight which means JRich should get 1 TSNP.
Hopefully T-Mac will get 54 to make up for his 29 and 23 he gave me a few days ago ;)

Dont tell me your moves as they lock as i still have a decision to make and it may influence my decision.
With Amare DNP im skipping class and waiting on where to go.I had moved Bosh but no Amare is the likely target. It has to be a center but my choice out of Bosh was a center anyways. I will weigh my options before deciding. my other 3 moves are locked in however.
If i was correct a few days ago and Amare was ure alternative to salmons then the "final" boxscore may have been a blessing in disguise.
Did you leave ureself any discretion or all your moves locked in?
Luckily that is not how the law of averages works

Thanks SU. I have chills, and my palms are sweaty, this is crazy.
Amare wasn't my choice instead of Salmons. I needed a player from Lebron if they won for last night and tonight, Amare didn't fit.

Ok that would work too but you could have went with a player playing monday wednesday from whoever you moved to salmons and then moved LBJ today to get the same three games. Thought the PHO game for Amare might have been a big draw. Either way doesnt matter as you wouldnt have gone there

No, my last trade was saved for Lebron if they won, because that meant Lebron would probably sit on Wednesday.
If Cleveland had lost and he had to play today, I was going to trade off one of my Nuggets for a King, and that's exactly how I executed my plan after I saw the Phily/Clev boxscore Final in which Philly had intially won.

Paul
Deron
Iverson
Monta
granger
Richardson
Bosh
West
AlJeff
Bogut
I was likely more risky here then I needed to be with the Aljeff and granger pickups but I can only hope they work out.
Im disapointed to see that RSF offline stat tracker isnt working for me as that is the one that i prefer

Nice start for West/JRich. 23.5 and 19.5 at the half.
I took a flyer on Sessions, I had a flashback of Jamal Tinsley several years ago where he went on about a 5 game 18+ assist rampage, puke so far!
I also got Jefferson. I really wanted Kidd, but I thought you may take him, plus he puts up alot of stinkers.
I haven't decided 100% on my other 2 forwards. Melo's been good for me, but having 3 Nuggets is risky tonight.

8 in the first minute?
yea Jrich obviously was a better then expected pickup. just hoping for a good 80 for the 2 games already at 93 with nearly a half to go.
IF you havent read rotoworlds update after his game last night it read "Wow. Hopefully you had him in your lineup, as this line probably led several owners to a fantasy championship." could very well be true in our case

If I'm adding this correctly, and Ellis doesn't play in the 4th quarter, you're going to win by less than 10 TSNP's!
Hopefully Ellis comes back in the 4th and scores 20, otherwise I'm really going to be ticked about that Philly/Clevland game the other night.
Gotta go to bed, I'm fixing to stroke out.

he only needs 11.5 and he has 20 so it is over effectively.
It amazes me the number of times you have given up Bandwagon only to come right back and pull even (dont think u ever pulled ahead significantly). i think if we read these threads it would be 3 or 4 times. I def am lucky that the SA game was over after 3 quarters. wtf was wrong with deron?
Well regardless it was a great season and u gave me all I could handle down the stretch. The back and forth was great. I look forward to enxt year and going at it again

#112, yea, I get frustrated at players easily, and where my heart on my sleeve. I also like to vent alot, that's why I feel a strong fantasy connection with SU. He seems to where his heart on his sleeve also. I really had no idea I was that close last night until I saw that Deron only had like 4 or 5 TSNP's. I assumed he'd get 40 when I wrote post 109.
Anyway, I did think it was over 3 or 4 times the past month, but some of our players were roller coasters. Odom/Melo/Iverson/JRich putting up 60's. I trade/plan on averages, and I don't expect those type of games, and with one or two of those type games, you're right back in the game.
What a ride this was.

Congrats to team Bandwagon for such a convincing overall victory! A gap of more than 4000 TSNP to second place can truly be labeled as dominating the competition. It think it was by January already that you didn't leave any doubt about which team would be hoisting the GMD trophy in the end. And all this with the original roster! So kudos to Bandwagon for doing such a great draft and for playing an awesome comeback season after a few years of absence from the game.

Myself being drafted at 5.02 (18th pick) and finished at no. 7 in GMD standing so think at least I present good value for the team.
Hope the will offer the Ultimate Hope game next season and I am sure I will be back for the GMD game.
