Anyone Playing Fantasy Basketball?

    How's your season going? I'm on Yahoo in a 10 team head-to-head league, Pg SG G SF PF F C Utility Utility and 4 Bench players.

    Going pretty well. I'm on ESPN with a bunch of my buddies. My record is pretty solid, I'm 3rd in my division though because my division is ridiculous. jpake1 is in my league, I'd have to say he has the best team as of right now--long way to go still.

    What's your roster look like cview?

    Don't jinx me.
  • SQ_Crazies
    Hahaha...please--after what you did to Bill I'm not sure that team is jinx-able. Should have seen Bailey's epic jinx last night...

    I'm also in it with a bunch of my friends, which makes it more fun. Long way to go but I'm doing well.

    Chauncey Billups
    Stephen Jackson
    Hedo Turkoglu
    Anthony Morrow
    Baron Davis
    Richard Hamilton---just picked him up Friday
    Lou Williams---no FA's in our league are worth shit so I'm keeping him.
    Lamar Odom
    Pau Gasol
    Dirk Nowitzki
    Joakim Noah
    Al Horford
    Andrew Bogut

    The categories are FG%, FT%, 3's made, points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and turnovers.

    Right now I'm 37-17 so I'm trying to keep my team as is unless there's some sort of can't miss FA's.

    Notes: Yes, I picked up some douchebags. Noah takes the cake but Hedo's a tool too. And I've been accused many times of being a closet Florida fan now because of the Horford/Noah combo. The only really major trade I was able to swing was Calderon and Millsap for Pau Gasol when Gasol was hurt. I picked up Lou Williams, Noah, and Bogut all from FA early in the year and Morrow once Stephen Jackson got traded so I've been more lucky than good.


    Your team?

    I'm surprised somebody let Hamilton go, but then again I'm now. Somebody took Shaq 17th in our draft. Nothing surprises me.
  • SQ_Crazies
    Wow, how the hell do you have THAT team in a 10 team league? You have to be the best team in your league.
  • SQ_Crazies
    PG: Devin Harris
    SG: Brandon Roy
    SF: Rashard Lewis
    PF: Dirk
    C: Duncan
    G: Baron Davis
    F: Michael Beasley
    UTIL: Allen Iverson--just picked him back up, got me a nice first game back.
    UTIL: Shawn Marion
    UTIL: Larry Hughes
    Bench: Eric Gordon
    Bench: Richard Jefferson
    Bench: Rodney Stuckey

    I'm 27-19-2, should go 8-0 or at least 7-1 this week. 3rd in my division which includes 3 of the top 4 teams. And jpake just beat the hell out of the kid leading the other division--gave him his first loss of the season, was 6-2 I think. I bet he was pissed.

    Like I said, more lucky than good. I was able to get Gasol for a bag of chips when he was hurt and I got pretty lucky with Bogut, Noah, and Lou Williams. Especially Lou. I think the only guys I actually drafted were Chauncey, Dirk, Horford, Baron Davis, and Lamar Odom. I'm actually in second right now but my buddy and I are both like 9 games ahead of the pack right now. Anthony Morrow dicked me over last night. Seriously, a funeral can wait. My fantasy team is much more important.

    jpake: He got dropped awhile ago, I just picked him up once it said he was finally practicing.

    Your team loooks pretty solid. How many people are in your league? Ours doesn't have divisions. Top 6 just qualify for the playoffs. Right now there's two teams running away with it at 37 wins, two teams that are in the 15-18 win range, and the other six are in the 24-27 win range.

    10 teams in the league.

    We're in the 7th of 20 weeks.

    In my division jpake is leading (33-15), someone else is in 2nd (31-17) and I'm in 3rd (27-19-2).
    In the other division the leader is at 35-12-1, just got beat 6-2 to jpake and he's 12 games up on 2nd place. No one else in his division is above .500. 4 of the 5 in mine are.

    As for my team, my starters are solid but my bench is just decent. I do have a pretty solid team though--I've been holding my own. I tied jpake and the other kid ahead of me in my division 4-4 earlier in the season, that was long ago though, I also lost to a kid who is 14-33-1 LOL.

    Even blind people go 14-33 in fantasy sports. STEP it up.
  • SQ_Crazies
    No kidding. He wouldn't make a trade with me either--make a move young man!
  • cview
    Sucks that you guys are in that division then. How many make the playoffs?

    I hope my team stays healthy and I'm rich at the end of the year.
