Subject: 12/11 'Goodbye Ruby Tuesday' Action Thread


  Posted by: qwert - Donor [2910242819] Tue, Dec 11, 2007, 17:39

Thought I'd get this going early, as a lot of people are making some plans that set them up for the week tonight.

Seems like most people are waiting a game on Lebron.

Tinsley is my early favourite for top price mover.

Jaric should see a jump with the news that foye is out for another month.

The Jazz brothers will get big buys.

AK and Moon have a lot on the line tonight.

I think Tinsley, Boozer, Deron, etc. will temper his gains.

This is definitely one of those weeks that will define your immediate future. Boozer or Deron? Wade or LBJ? Dump Baron and SJax? Dump Kaman? Bynum w/Kwame back? Can a team with Tinsley, Baron and Jaric stay healthy?!?!?

I hope the authorities in Seattle have Senator Urine on suicide watch. If he makes the wrong choice, his season is definitely OVER! ;-)

Didn't say the ESPN isn't. I said the Yahoo isn't. I'm not aware that there is something similar on ESPN to check on starting 5s before tipoff.

BTW: deejay is right - even if Anthony Johnson would be averaging 50 right now he isn't an option and never will be before 1/9 at the earliest. Production is nothing without games to make it count.

Re: 13

I just talked to Senator. We've managed to undo the Marion => Lebron move despite some technical difficulties.

If Lebron gets a triple-double off of the bench, we will definitely need to notify the authorities and keep him away from all sharp objects.

Someone said in the action thread a few nights ago about Bosh is taking Rebounds from Moon and I am finding this to be TRUE! Moon is not getting the 10 boards he normally gets each game.

Why have LBJ play just a little and kill his averages and not really impact the game and help the team. Guy like him coming off the bench? Does not make sense to me.

On the replay, looks like TJ slammed his head hard against the floor when he landed. I wouldn't be surprised if he is out for a month. Apparently he was crying as they were tending to him.

Definitely a stupid play by the rookie Horford. He was ejected from the game and I would expect him to be suspended. He probably didn't mean to hurt him but he needs to know better than that.

boozer lookin to have a 40 flat tsnp night .. im sure thats subpar for most of your expectations i am yet to buy him as i was out of trades last weeks since i unexpectedly moved AK which was well worth the trade .... may jus pick up D williams instead and use the extra cash to possibly get lebron

Looks like many people Dumped Calderon tonight. Wade and Amare each with -160k I kept Wade and hope thisis the end of that derailing.

I do not have Udrih on any of my teams and do not believe I have ever owned him this year. Would it be dumb to buy in now? I keep saying no I missed that train. Do not get on this late....but other than tonight's -20k I keep seeing him climb. Plus I see his schedule does go a little flat after Dec 19th.

105 that is what I thought as well. Just Like I see Tinsley taking off....but I do not have the faith and feel as soon as you get on board something will go wrong and he will be back to mid 20's.
Boozer and Williams just over their averages.

106 - yeah, Tinsley is going to stay very active with heavy minutes for the immediate future. The faithful believe he is beginning to realize his potential now that the Carlisle handcuffs have been taken off.
