*Saddo Fantasy Basketball*

[Fenster]

I'll give it a go.

My team is the Harlem Globetrotters. Thanks.

[OumaFan]

All right that's 9. I guess Fenster's serious

I need your email address Fenster. And we've got to figure out if were gonna do the draft tonight. You can always auto draft so you don't have to be there.

We need one more.

[Fenster]

err.. what? Fenster serious?

Sorry Ouma.. I don't know anything about basketball. I watched the Harlem Globetrotters at the Docklands arena about 17 years ago. I thought they were impressive. That's all I know about basketball. It's a pro sport? cool

[OumaFan]

that may actually be good, would rather have 8 than get stuck on 9 looking for a tenth

OK I need email addresses from: VD, Van Childs, and Pugilistic.

[OumaFan]

now just VD and Van.

[OumaFan]

And Killer's too.

I'm just going with 8 teams. If two other people want in before the draft then I guess I could redo the invites for the ten man league I started to set up.

I've invited Amat, Nameless, Jaz, and Pugilistic. You should be able to go to the league page and rank players, whatever you want to do. It has a very creative name

Looks like maybe we won't do the draft today as I just haven't heard anything from Amat, Van or VD. Thursday is the next best option if we can't get it going tonight.

[OumaFan]

Just wondering, who really wants to draft live and who could deal with just doing an auto draft? And if you really want to draft live what would be a good time? Its probably going to be Thursday as I still haven't heard from a few people.

[OumaFan]

For those that want to draft live would Thursday 7 PM Eastern time be a problem? We have to set it at some point. Oh and everybody but Van should have an invite, let me know if you haven't gotten one for some reason.

[amat]

That's fine like I told you I'm autodrafting regardless I have work in 10 minutes and tomorrow I'll be gone all day and same goes for Friday so yeah. Oh and the scoring is weekly unless there has been a shakeup from last season. And early fantasy in the NBA is always so screwy because most NBA teams don't bother to play defense this early in the season. Randolph has a lot expected of him here going into this season, he's going from "Laziest rookie ever" to "hardest worker on the team" and those are Don Nelson's words. BTW I LOOOOVE being a Warriors fan. Don Nelson has invaded this team he's the coach who only coaches when he wants to. He routinely left games in the 4th quarter last year and was hardly ever vocal at the end of they year, just kind of let the team do whatever. Chris Mullen was the GM but Nelson didn't care for him much so Nelson's players (namely Stephen Jackson) went over Mullen's head when negotiating the contract. Mullen traded Harrington almost specifically just to show that uh, I'm still here guys. It's nuts. Mullen gets fired and who is hired but Don Nelson's best friend, Larry Riley. Now all the sudden everything is his way, Nelson is putting crazy hours into coaching again. This has all been covered extensively in the Chronicle over the past month or so. I don't know if it will result in a winning team but essentially every player in the locker room is playing with a chip on their shoulder. It should be a fun team to watch and we have a very easy schedule to start out we should win 6 or 7 of our first 10 games and then it could all turn around.

As for Randolph, there's going to be a lot of spreading the ball in this offense I don't think the points are going to come quite like some are predicting but he does have a lot of potential as a consistent double-double type guy imo.

forget fantasy basketball

woah http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...ing-video.html

[OumaFan]

draft is 6:45 Eastern Thursday, let me know if that's an issue.

[Nameless]

I don't know nothing about basketball but let's give it a go for the fun of it.

[OumaFan]

BTW its not just points, there are categories for points, rebounds, blocks, assists, steals, three pointers made, field goal percentage and free throw percentage and as far as I know they all count equally although I could be wrong about that. So you kind of have to have a balanced team. Anyway with all these auto drafts there should be some trades. Not sure why I feel the need to give out advice. Draft 13 guys who can just rebound if it makes you feel better. Jaz called dibs on Luol Deng which has RUINED my draft strategy.

[amat]

hahaha damn Jaz. I liked Luol in college though which is rare for me to like a Duke guy when he's actually in college.

[OumaFan]

5th pick? Dammit. That's exactly what I didn't want, I said give me anything but 5th or 6th. Well there's one guy that I hope might still be around. But I checked it out and I'll be coming up 21st with my pick in the third round and If I auto drafted that would mean...Tim Duncan MOTHERFUCKER.
