The game begins with the start of the NBA regular season, on November 2, 2004.HOW TO PLAY
Select your team of five NBA players and a coach and accumulate points according to each players performance. Your players points will be determined by the following formula:
(PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) - ((FGA - FGM) + (FTA - FTM) + TO)
In this formula, PTS = points scored, REB = total rebounds, AST = assists, STL = steals, BLK = blocked shots, FGA = field goals attempted, FGM = field goals made, FTA = free throws attempted, FTM = free throws made and TO = turnovers. In addition, your head coach will earn you 5 points for each game his or her team wins.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 10/15/04 10:27 PM
How do I end up in the 99.1% percentile, same as Pork, and Plaw is in the 99.5% percentile while he's only 65 points above me and I'm nearly 800 points higher than Pork??
EDIT: It's probably the percentiles for the playoffs.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 10/15/04 10:30 PM
I'm guessing that the %iles are based on the Post Season (the last "round") and not the overall total...
Yeah, what he said at the same time.

Let me be the first......
I don't like the way they have the site set up.
More importantly, you hadda pick a team first in order to join a league, so I just picked the top guys at every postion.
I wound up going 3.0 over the cap, and unless I missed it, didn't (and don't) see a warning.

I didn't see a "warning" either, but noticed that the team value ("locked") was in red instead of green.

The link for the basketball game doesn't seem to be working. Or maybe I can't figure out how to access it. Let's wait for JG.
So far, it's me, JG, Spike, TM, Pat, and the very entusiastic DMC (lol)

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 10/28/04 04:31 PM
Well, Arsiva's
BBC link still works, but I have a feeling this site isn't being updated. I posted to their forums on Aug 8th and there hasn't been one post since then.
And since ESPN changed their game from VGM to whatever it is now, that link won't work.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/01/04 11:35 AM
That sure sounded encouraging to DB :rolleyes:
Remind him what a great time we had last year.
Remind him how basketball fills the boring weekdays in between football games, and how it fills the boring months of February and March when there is no football at all, and baseball hasn't started yet.
Remind him how you nosed him out for second place in the playoffs on the very last day, and how is honor is at stake.
Tell him how it just won't be the same without him, and how I need the competition.
Oh....And as far as the new site goes, I think it's swell.
Nice color pictures of the players and everything.

BUT get this, one of my teams has Culpepper, Owens, Moss and Edgerin James with corey Dillon. Mike Vanderjact kicker and Baltimore Defense, make any sense to you? it doesn't to me lol
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/02/04 07:03 AM
That's pretty amazing for 10th pick!
Last year we had less teams -- 8 I think. I was 8th pick. And I ended up with an awesome lineup. Not the best, but, an awesome lineup. (Portis, R Moss, etc). I wasn't even the best team, but made the playoffs, and, somehow beat out both opponents for the title.
This year? No, not so much....
not bad at all J Geoff
Could I possibly get a response to my original question?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/02/04 09:07 AM
A "decent" score? About 110 or so.
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/02/04 09:11 AM
Damn, Plaw! I was waiting for his first results to say, "no, that's not decent - another 20 pts woulda done it! lol "
But "decent" for Plaw is like 99.9%ile... I'd say 100+ is pretty damn "decent".
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/02/04 12:03 PM
Well, you can be fairly certain that you won't have a decent score tonight, DMC.
This is a
daily game. The same format as baseball. You're supposed to change your roster every day, picking only players who are
playing that day. :rolleyes:
So it looks like you'll be starting about 100 points behind. Don't worry, though. It's a looooong season.

Don't know plaw... I gave him the link to this thread. Maybe he should get to know you guys...
Pork (JG) - The Don of these boards; He's #1 on the boards... and #3 in fantasy sports (usually!) :p
Plawrence (PL) - I usually trade first place with him in most games. Has an affinity to baby wipes.
Spike (SP) - Played last year and hoping he plays all the way through this year. Shown that he has some trash talking moxie in the fantasy football thread.
DonMichaelCorleone (DM?) - He's has 428 teams in 112 fantasy games. lol.
Tony Mosrite (TM) - Played last year. Disappeared since. Now he's back.
Pat (PP?) - Eminem nut. Kerry nut. Works at Arby's.
Hey plaw... you giving out odds this half?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/02/04 03:32 PM
Man, I'm glad you reminded me.....
PL: Has to be considered the favorite once again. Won the first half last season, finished second to his MWA (DB) in the second half, won the non-mythical Overall Points Championship, and is an all around good guy, although his humor can be a little too dry for some at times. Almost a lock to finish first or second.
Odds: 2-1
DB: The usual second choice. Finished second in last year's first half, first in the second half, and second in overall points. His season was marred by his incredible last day collapse (read: choke) in the playoff round, when he allowed JG to sneak in for second. Has to learn to use the Bobby Suras and Marquis Daniels' of the world, though. Should finish no worse than second.
Odds: 5-2
SP: Surprise pick to finish third based on his vow that "JG is going down, because I'm not going to miss any days this year." The missed days killed him last season, though, so we'll have to see. The key to his season may be doing his homework on time so his mother doesn't punish him by making him stay off the internet. When I was a kid, "No T.V." was the punishment. I guess times have changed.
Odds: 4-1
JG: The only thing he has going for him is that he'll be there every day to change his team. His problem is the players he picks. Admittedly knows nothing about basketball, but plays only for the Uber points (Whatever they are). Not a threat to crack the top two.
Odds: 6-1
DM: Would probably have rated him higher , except since he only has one player going tonight, he'll be basically starting the season about 100 points behind lol. Still, he's a serious fantasy player, and he's all excited about finally getting into a game for a whole season lol. Could see him as high as third if he shows real talent, but in this highly competitive league his 100 point deficit will make it impossible for him to finish any higher lol.
Odds: 7-1
DB's Brother: We'll have to come up with a two letter ID for him...CB (Chinese Buffet)? BB (Brother Bigelow)? DT (Douche Two)? Let the commish decide. The real question is, is DB bringing in a ringer? An older brother? Hmmm...a more experienced fantasy player? Does "older" equal "smarter"? Always hesitant to rank an unknown quantity too high, though, but DB sent me a PM asking me not to rate him too low. Didn't want Big Brother to be emabrrassed, I guess.
Odds: 10-1
PP: Played the second half last year, or at least started to play, and showed nothing. Could be different this year. Since the election coincides with the start of the season, he won't be able to use his involvement in political discussions as an excuse. If Kerry wins today, it could psyche him up. But if Bush wins, he could lose heart early. In either case, can't see him any higher than 5th.
Odds: 20-1
TM: To the extent that these things can be certain, he's about as certain to finish in the bottom two as anyone. Played last year and dropped out early. His roster for opening night (all Pistons) indicates that he's a real "Homer" who's not playing to win, but just to have fun. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm sure they cut grass, grill, chase girls, and hang flower baskets in Peru or Chile or wherever he's from, too. An FS in the making? No threat at all.
Odds: 50-1

That's pretty strange, 'cause when I look at your roster for tonight, those are not the players I see
I'm thinking that maybe the guys you name above are your team for
tomorrow night. If it is, you better make some changes, because not all of
them are playing tomorrow.
Check the date on your entry. I'll bet it says it's your team for Wednesday, November 3rd. Then go back to today's entry, and see who you have.
how do I go back to see who I have playing today?
plaw what time did the rosters lock? The roster I have now was set by 2pm the latest yesterday
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/02/04 04:21 PM
DMC... Just to make sure we have the rules clear...
You have to enter your team by 3 AM eastern (e.g. You have until 3 AM Eastern tonight (3 hours into Nov. 3rd) to set your team for tomorrow's November 3rd evening games).
I hope that made sense.

yeah that made sense. So if my roster was set at 2pm yesterday on November 1st then it should have been fine for November 2nd, am I right?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/02/04 04:25 PM
I just checked...there is nothing to click on to show you who your team was yesterday, but, then again, there weren't any games yesterday, either.
Last year's format had today's roster listed with a scoresheet. and they updated each player's score in real time during the games.
When you wanted to change your team for tomorrow, I think you had to click on "next", and then you got the same roster, but there was like an "edit" button to change the players.
This format looks different, so I don't know what to tell you. I guess we'll see what happens tonight when the games start.
But I can tell you that if the players you named are listed as your players for Nov 3rd, you better make the appropriate changes.
The rosters lock at 3:00 AM Eastern.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/02/04 04:28 PM
DB, what do ou see when you look at his roster for today?
Maybe the whole thing is all f**ked up, like it usually is with ESPN the first day.
When I try to look at your roster or your brother's for today, it won't let me. Everyone else's I can see, and they all have players for tonight except DMC.

Technically, that's right - if you set your team yesterday at 2pm, whoever you set should have been your Nov. 2nd team.
I think there are a lot of bugs so far with the new format.
1 - Whatever this thing with DM is
2 - When you select players and it adds up the values, it rounds... Only on the "select players" pages do I know what I have available to the decimal
3 - For some reason, I can't see Yao's team
4 - As plaw mentioned, they do not have a page that'll keep a running track of how your team is doing that day
plaw NOW it says roster for Nov 3rd, but wouldn't that just be because my roster for today was already locked so any changes I make today will be for tomorrow?
I just checked the message board and everyone seems to be having problems with lineups.

When I look at everyone else's team for today, though, the site says that this is their roster for Nov 1st (yesterday), along with the message:
"The above roster is this entry's roster from last night.
You cannot view another entry's
current roster." (italics mine).
If that's gonna be the case, this game won't be much fun. What you're not supposed to see is everyone else's roster for
tomorrow, until after the rosters lock.
Tune in later tonight or tomorrow, I guess.
so plaw it could just be that I was the only idiot to not have my roster for games played today set before yesterday? Everyone else probably picked their team a while ago so they would have had the same lineup.
Thank you for the minor heart attack lol
1st problem over with.
Now if this damn midterm paper would begin writing itself...

I just went to check DMC's roster and it's showing players from "Mon., Nov 1" (a non-game day) and says: "The above roster is this entry's roster from last night. You cannot view another entry's current roster."
Wheren't we able to see each person's current roster last year?
As this is a new ESPN game, and we know how ESPN games having growing pains early on, I'm assuming it'll have to start up before things settle down.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/03/04 03:36 PM
Suprise, surprise fellas!
Arsiva Fast Break Much like ESPN, I think there are some bugs that need to be worked out - the Arsiva scoring tally does not match plaw's calculation.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like Arsiva is adding up the "Average" of each player instead of what they actually scored.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/03/04 03:44 PM
Their scores are waaaay off. I may be off by a point or two here and there, but Arsiva is not even close.
It does appear as though they are slowly working out the bugs. At this writing, I can see my scores for yesterday, but no one else's. Also, there is a "box score" for me for tonight's games, but I can't see anyone else's picks for tonight.
A
major bug is that if you go to change your team for tomorrow, they're still showing today's opponents next to the player's names, so be careful.
I think there are only three games tomorrow:
Minn @ Denver
Wash @ Charlotte
Cleve @ Miami
Oh, and DB....Tell Big Brother to show his face here. We want to meet him.

When you look at the box score page for your team, there's a column for "AVG*"... which is:
* FB AVG: The average Fast Break points earned by player over the course of the season.
(Total Fast Break points earned to date) / (number of games played to date)
I'm just saying that this is what Arsiva is refering to. I don't know where those averages come from - probably last year - I'm just saying that Arsiva is mistakingly taking these numbers for our scores.

They now have yesterday's scores posted for the league, but not in order.
Also, the "Average" column reflects this season's "V. Avg."
But you still can only see your own roster for today, not everyone else's. And while you can see everyone's scores for yesterday, you can't see them in "boxscore" form like you can see your own.
Did you give BB the message, DB?

That's fixed.
The only thing left, I think, is to be able to see everyone else's rosters for today.
But when you click on a league member other that yourself, you see yesterday's team, and it says:
The above roster is this entry's roster from last night.
You cannot view another entry's current roster.
That leads me to believe that this may be a permanent feature, in which case this game will suck. What good is it if you can't follow everyone else's scores along with your own?
There's a link on the site somewhere called "suggestion box". I'm gonna email them to complain, and when you guys have a chance I'd suggest you do the same if it doesn't get fixed in a day or two.

I had only Pistons in my team because I had picked a team just to be able to join a league. then I forgot to pick a new team until yesterday
of course it's my fault, but fuckin' ESPN helped me to do that shit since there is not a single NBA reference in it. is the first time in my life I can't watch the opening night
anyway, I'm happy that Detroit won the first game. LET'S GO PISTONS!

After their three years of success, it was painful to watch. I left midway through the fourth quarter.
Mourning didn't look too bad, considering everything. Presumably, his playing is no risk to his health, so if he can get his game back to a semblance of where it once was, he'll contribute.

I'm not expecting or hoping for 40 minutes, 20 points, and 10 rebounds a night.
If he does half of that I'll be satisfied, and I'm sure he will be, too.
I don't think we'll really know if he's capable of even that, though, until we're maybe 20 games or so into the season.

His last full season was 2001-2002, when he played 75 games, after playing only 13 the year before.
He missed all of 2002-2003, then came back for 12 games last season before going down.

NOTE: The scoring rules state that if you have either NBA Player of the Week (Eastern Conf or Western Conf) on your roster on Sunday, you get 15 points for having one or 30 points for having both added to your score when the winners of POTW are announced Monday afternoon.
I'm having problems getting on the site right now, but I was wondering if any of you know if there is a way to set your rosters for 2 days in advance?

very high so far.

You only get points for POTW if that player is on your team for today. Since Garnett and Wade aren't playing today, none of us have them on our teams.
I always thought counting points for POTW was a bit silly because of this scheduling issue.

POTW points would benefit Weekly owners more than Daily owners, but they need all the points they can get. But it was a nice bonus now and then for use daily players... but it really doesn't matter to me how/if they do it...

Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/09/04 01:44 PM
"POINTS ABOVE AVERAGE"
This, from the "How to Play" section:
Each group is given a Points Above Average (PAA) value, which displays how above or below the group is compared to the average points a group in the game earns. Think of PAA in terms of what "par" is in golf. Each EFC entry -- that is currently in a group -- is used to determine an average game score by adding all EFC points and dividing that sum by the total number of entries. Once this value is determined on a per entry basis, each group member's PAA is added together to determine the group's PAA. This total is displayed on each group page, as well as in the Group Directory, which can be sorted by "Rank". There is no prize for the group with the highest PAA and it is only displayed to increase group against group competition.
I'm not exactly sure how they treat the scoring discrepancies between daily and weekly players, but anyway, I looked, and our group ranks 238th out of 6,434 groups, which places us in the 96.6 percentile.

Not patronizing at all. Said from the heart and with all due respect and sincerity.
The rivalry between you and I that goes back to the second half of the 2003 baseball season, and has spanned six "segments" of ESPN salary cap fantasy sports in which one of us was nipping at the heels of the other virtually all of the time, has been the source of my inspiration and spurred me to even new and greater heights.
If you were to go into the tank, so to speak, and I were to win, everyone could then say:
"Yeah, you won. But only because DB had an off-season"
A bit early for that, don't you think??

I don't know. As you know, this game is riding waves. Even this Dwayne Wade stretch is a wave. I distinctly remember when you implied BGT was a homer for picking Wade last year. I just thought Hughes was on an upwave - especially at the beginning of the season, when a lot is unknown.
In any case, it's loooonnnggg season. Things will settle down soon enough.

Well, I figured out who Larry Hughes is. I actually took time out and watched a "home" basketball game. I can't help it if I only knew who 4 Wizards were. That's probably more players then most people in Baltimore can name.
I guess the 26 points Hughes scored isn't all
that bad. How many time outs does each team get? It seems like every 10 seconds one coach is taking one. The game runs too slow for me.
Beth E, in basketball the 2nd and 4th quarters take about 25 minutes each.
13 minutes for the first 11 minutes
12 minutes for the last minute

A Nets win would have been nice last night. In that weak division, anyone can finish first. The team that finishes second may not make the playoffs.

Excellent point.
The season is only ten days old, and already three of the eight members of our league have missed at least one day.
Not missing any days practically guarantees that you'll finish at least fourth.

That's the trouble with this game.
In baseball, filling 10 roster spots every night with 30 players or more at each spot to choose from, unless there's a doubleheader, on most nights everyone has a team that's pretty much different.
In this game, with only a few teams in action every night, and almost automatic picks like Garnett or Duncan, or some obvious picks simply because the guy is the only decent player in action at his particular position that night (like Rashard Lewis), we tend to frequently wind up with the same, or very similar, teams.
In the baseball game, where a 50-70 point night is good, we generally have much wilder swings from night to night than we do in this game, even though there are a lot more points scored every night in basketball, which would lead you to believe that it's easier to make up ground in this than it would be in baseball.
We all tend to have good nights and bad nights at the same time, although last night is an exception.
picks like Garnett or Duncan
plaw, there has to come a time in a season when they aren't a staple though isn't there?
At this point in the season its suicide to pick against them.
You are right though about making up ground, with only a 1 or 2 player difference its very hard. I just don't think you have a leg to stand on against me tonight :p

That's because of the pitching staff anomaly I think. From catcher to DH, offensive production is about the same from night to night, but you get the swings in PS.

That's also what's
good about this game, BTW.
In baseball, I usually spend at least 15 minutes or so picking my team each day.
In this game, usually about 2-3 minutes is enough. Sometimes even less. Especially now when the cap values are still low and you can get almost anyone you want.
plaw- so there will come a time when someone like KG just isn't a realistic pick then right?
So towards the end of the season the scores will be a lot different then right? (i.e. 5 guys for you against 5 totally different guys for me)

Originally posted by Don Sicilia:

Well, some say pitching is 90% of baseball.
That estimate always seemed a bit high to me, since you can't win a game if you don't score any runs and you're not gonna win many when you score only one or two or even three.
But it's not unreasonable in the fantasy game that pitching should account for 30% or so of the points you get every day.
My problem, as we've discussed before, is the idea of a cap value for an entire staff.
It would be a much better game if each starter had his own cap value, and you got points only for what the starter does.
I mean, if you don't want to pay the cap price for the Cubs PS when Glendon Rusch is pitching, you don't have to pick him, but when Randy Johnson is pitching it doesn't make sense that his value should be based on the rest of the crappy Arizona PS. Everyone picks him, and that cuts down on the "fluctuation opportunities"
I haven't done the research, of course, but I'm 100% certain that if each starter had his own value and you got only his points on a given day, that would knock at least a few points off everyone's pitching total every day, since
a) The starter rarely pitches a complete game, and
b) The starter doesn't always get the decision
I know you've heard this all before DB. I just thought our new, very good, and very interested player, DM, would find it interesting.

Well.....That question is almost kinda getting into the area of discussing strategy, and I'm not sure I want to go there with someone who's still learning the game, seems to have an aptitude for it, and is ahead of me in the standings (temporarily, of course) :p
I do find it interesting, but it could also ADD points to the pitching staff score. Think about it: how many times did Johnson or someone go 7 innings and leave with a lead only to have the bullpen blow it.

True about Johnson, but I'm looking at the aggregate.
Figure it this way:
The average total for a pitching staff each day is about
+27 for 9 innings (I'll assume that extra inning games more or less make up for the games when the home team wins and only comes to bat 8 times).
+2.5 points for half a win (Every time two teams playeach other, one gets 5 points for winning).
+6.5 for strikeouts, figuring an average of 6.5 per game.
So the average positive total is about 36Now the negative total:
-12.5 for earned runs allowed (Let's say the total E.R.A. in all of baseball is about 4.17. So 4.17 times -3 points for each earned run is about 12.5).
-3.5 for walks, figuring 3.5 per game per team
-10 for hits, figuring 10 hits per game per team.
So the total negative value is 26So the average PS will score, on the average, 10.0 points per game.
Or 1.1 point per inning.
The better starters, who we mostly pick, average more, because the Johnsons and Santanas have to make up for the crappy starters and back-end-of-the-bullpen-guys, so let's say for the sake of argument, that if a "good" starter averages 7 innings, he might get you 8.5 points, while his reliever(s) might get you only an additional point and a half for their two innings, instead of 2.2 points.
So add to that 1.5 points that you lose because the starter only went 7 innings, to the times that his team wins the game, but he doesn't get the win.
Let's figure (and again, bear in mind that these are all estimates) it like this
33 starts
His team wins 22 times
He gets 27 decisions
He gets 18 wins.
So that's 90 "win points" instead of 110.
20 fewer "win points" over 33 starts is about .6 per game.
Add that to the other 1.5, and it comes to about 2 points per game less,
on average, that I think each pitching score would be each day if they only counted the work of the starter.
For some reason I suspect it's more...maybe the starters we pick don't average 7 innings. Actually, they probably don't, since 7 IPs seems to be about the max these days for most guys, and there are many games when they pitch less.
Also, I'm not sure if I treated the 5 "win points" correctly in my calculations, and I'm not about to re-think this whole thing.
As a matter of fact, I'm not exactly sure why I'm bothering with all this in the first place.
good day today jg

I'm starting to think I've probably heard it sometime but it really makes no sense.
When I was bowling we used to call 10 pins Dimes or when we got 10 in a row we called it a dime but obviously because of the number 10. I'm not seeing how assist and dime go together

Tuesday Scores & Wednesday FB AVGs DB 1611 (122.4) 118 (- 4.4) 1729 (114.5) Increases lead over JG. Is that who he fears?
JG 1546 (127.3) 113 (-14.3) 1659 (126.2) Watching his back, as usual
PL 1528 (120.3) 130 (+ 9.7) 1658 (129.3) 22 from wrong Daniels. Meant to take Marquis.
DM 1550 (117.8) 75 (-42.8) 1625 (122.7) Shoulda picked Garnett. JACKASS.
PP 1385 ( 99.7) 100 (+ 0.3) 1485 (111.1) Can he hang on to 5th?
TM 1343 (121.4) 121 (- 0.4) 1464 (111.1) Still in the race for 5th, but for how long?

I didn't know I was supposed to be fearing anyone?? :p
Just looked at the lineups... I was
this close to NOT picking Garnett, but I didn't want to end up like DMC!
A lot of movement today, I think.

Well, it looks like this kid DM has an idea about how to play. And he seems smart enough to learn from his mistakes.
And JG, of course, is always a threat. Look how he nosed you out for second in the playoffs last year :p
And then, of course, there's......

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/17/04 03:23 PM
What I didn't include, and probaby should have, is the amount spent on coaches.
Get some kind of index that establishes the relationship.
Obviously, if you spend less, you will probably have a worse record, but having the extra cap money available to spend on players might make it worth saving the cap room.
I know there was one day this season where I had a lineup I loved, but no cap room for anything but a cheap coach whose team wasn't even playing that day.
I considered it briefly....kinda like when we talked about sometimes going with no pitching staff in certain situations....but ultimately decided against the idea.

Oh, never mind! You can't do a "never mind" when I'm in the house. You should know better by now. Anyway, that's an easy one, I think....
22 teams in action.
Let "x" equal the number of SFs that we want to arbitrarily eliminate.
Assuming that all who are left have an equal chance of being picked, the formula would be
(20/21-x) * (19/21-x) * (18/21-x) * 17/21-x) * (16/21-x) * (15/21-x) * (14/21-x)
Works out to about 21.5%, without knowing what "x" equals. The fewer the number of players we consider, the less likely it becomes.
I think.
But seriously, who picks AGAINST Garnett??
in my defense of that- I picked Dirk, it's not like I picked PJ Brown or someone like that. I think you have to admit that (from a stat standpoint) Dirk stood the best of change of beating him.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/17/04 04:47 PM
It's really impossible to evaluate, after the fact, the wisdom of what you did.
Had you taken KG, you would have had far less cap room to pick the rest of your team.
So even had you picked KG, your overall score could have, conceivably, been worse.
In this particular case that would have been kinda hard, since KG scored 46, and your total was 75. I imagine you could have picked almost any other four guys and a coach along with KG and gotten 29 more points.
Dirk got 24, so you only lost 22 points between the two of them.
What happened was, with all the extra cap room you had, the rest of your picks also sucked. :p

Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/17/04 04:57 PM
Actually, you probably would have done better with the rest of your team as well, had you picked Garnett.
You got a whopping 53 from four other players and a coach.
Even if we give you 22 more points for Garnett, and forgetting about the cap, you still score only 97 for the day, the worst score in the league, and you're still in fourth place.
But remember.....The key to success here is to not miss any days. All of us hit bumps in the road.
Enough sugar coating for one day.

They should be done for the season, in my opinion. Attacking the FANS?? I saw a boy crying. Fuck that... they shouldn't be allowed to play again! But, I didn't see what happened, and only saw the replays (over and over) w/ the sound turned down at the bar. But from what I SAW, they should be finished.
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/20/04 07:47 AM
OMG, I just noticed (at 2:46) I had that mafugga for tomorrow! *whew* Thanks, DMC!!
I was watching it as it happened. I was PRAYING for Wallace to miss both free throws (points lossed are points gained :p ) Then I saw Ben Wallace shove Artest, and wanted to see Artest get his a$$ handed to him cause Ben Wallace is a BIG guy.
I feel that Artest was wrong for fouling him in the first place- 15 point lead 45 seconds to go and the foul was kinda hard so a kinda hard foul along with a NOT NEEDED foul ALONG with the rivalry is going to piss him off.
So Ben Wallace gets up in Artests face and the benches clear- Rasheed Wallace was the first to try and break everyone up. Artest was just sitting on the announcers table and the guy in the white hat threw a plastic bottle with beer at him. Artest thought it was the guy in the blue shirt and went after him.
Do I think Artest should be suspended? Yes. Rest of the season? No. There was no reason for a fan to throw ANYTHING at him. He should have shown self control but tempers were flaring to begin with and that was just fuel on the fire. Steven Jackson I guess is the other one, he SHOULD be suspended for the year. He was not involved in the orginal confrontation but he was the one trying to start a fight, he didn't have beer thrown on him but he went into the stands and punched 2-3 fans.
A guy that was there that had credentials (sp) who was either a reporter or someone- not just a normal fan. was beating on fred Jones (I'm not good with first names) The only people in the stands fighting were Jackson and Artest. Everyone else was trying to break it up until they themselves were attacked and they retaliated. Jermaine O'neal had a chair thrown at him and was punched a few times. A fan ran onto the court and put his fists up looking to fight Artest and Artest punched him in the face. As the fan was trying to get up O'neal slid in and punched him (O'neal is responsible for that one).
Fans were diving over the baracades to get to the players going back to the locker rooms. Things were thrown and poured on them on the way back and people were hitting them, the players should not be responsible for defending themselves there.
If it was up to me suspensions would be as follows:
Ben Wallace - 2-3 games
Jermaine O'neal- 2-3 games
Ron Artest - 10-15 games
Steven Jackson- Season
A few one game suspensions thrown in there for Hamilton and Tinsley (there are bound to be others that I didn't see) Hamilton hit a fan and tinsley came out with a dust pan and was looking to throw it at someone.
Rasheed Wallace- $3 million bonus. One of the most hot headed guys in the league not only broke up the original fight but also went into the stands to protect (DID NOT THROW ONE PUNCH) his players and the Indiana players.
Also an older woman was trapped under a huge fight, she was taken to the hospital but no reports yet.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/20/04 07:59 AM
Thanks for the recap. But still, a bunch of freakin' millionaires shouldn't be fighting with FANS no matter WHAT they say or throw at them!! They can say whatever they want (it's part of the game), yet fans shouldn't throw shit (of course) -- but those fans should be escorted out and that's it.

Well, you inspired me to CHECK to see if any of those guys were in there...
haha - you really ARE gonna turn into a Plaw now!
I think you have to look at the circumstances. If there wasn't just a fight before it then yes they have no business in the stands. But the fans KNEW what they were doing.
The players should have shown more self control BUT can anyone honestly say they would have reacted any differently. The security wasn't doing anything to protect the players and fans were throwing things and starting to come down after them. If you look at the recap fans were already on the floor and some where already getting ready for a fight with Artest when the bottle was thrown.
I think when you are faced with that many people looking to get you and no security or way out in sight you need to defend yourself first and worry about reprocussions later.
Tm Picked Artest , so did SP :p
I'm tired of Ilgauskez so I went with Haywood!

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/20/04 08:11 AM
I don't know... it's hard for me to see rushing into the stands as "defending oneself"...
Don't fret, I always check before bed anyway. I can't not bust your balls!
Wade saved your ass, no doubt. :p
Wade saved your ass, no doubt. [Razz]
That's who my team was built around though :p
What happened to Artest though. At the end of the first quarter he had 17 points scored in the game (don't know how many fb points) and I'm saying to myself here's where jg gets another 30 points on me. At least Mason beat him by 2 :p
And Miller DESTROYED Nesterovic :rolleyes:
I'm looking at the scores right before the Sac game saying I'm beating JG by like 12 or so a big game by Miller and I can be in striking distance. Then the game update comes on and Miller is 0/6 lol
About going into the stands I look at it like a caged animal type of thing. Let's face it they really had no place to go. I honestly think the players were scared and did what they had to do to make sure they could go home. I personally blame this on the security. You had 1-2 security guards "right there" in the area that is closest to the players. The "security guards" could barely hold back 2 people themselves and you had about 20 looking to get through. I think the next game between Pistons and Pacers should be played with no fans
But what do I know I got suspended from High School Basketball for running into the stands when a kid threw a quarter at me lol At least Artest had his whole team behind him, my team stood there looking at me
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/20/04 08:25 AM
Did the kid get the quarter back? Oh, that's football, never mind...
Two words: Anger Management. :p
But yeah, of course I know how it is. But if I was a millionaire NBA player, I'd just walk off and say "fuck it" probably. I'm not gonna let some FAN get the better of me! But alas, after the lawsuits, many of those fans will be new millionaires themselves!
you know your the 400th person to tell me I need anger management lol
But thats the problem though JG, is that they COULDN'T get off the court. Fans were on the court to begin with so its not even like if they didn't go into the stands they would be safe. The fans broke the stands going to the lockerroom to the point where it was almost baracaded off. They couldn't go anywhere.
I think someone like Steven Jackson who was just looking for a fight deserves the suspension but for the rest of those guys they were more acting out of fear. I wish I had the screenshot but when Artest came back to midcourt after he was in the stands and saw the amount of people on the court and looking to get him on the way to the lockerroom- HE WAS SCARED.
But alas, after the lawsuits, many of those fans will be new millionaires themselves!
I don't believe that. I think fans that were injured that were "in the way" deserve something. But the people who went on the court were looking for something and they got it. The fans who threw things at the players and motioned for a fight shouldn't get anyting.
If I motion for you to come fight me and you come kick my ass- then should I get money for that?

And please....I would greatly appreciate it if no one started a congratulatory thread. I mean, I just hit 5000 about 10 weeks ago, and it's a bit embarrassing to hit another, um, "milestone" so quickly.

Helpful hint to the Fantasy Basketball opponents: Hmmm, that would be two hours less that plaw has to make his picks.

The reason it was funny is because I'm looking at the game updates on Espn and I think 3-4 minutes into the first quarter Ilgauskez is on the bench with 2 fouls and I'm saying to myself I made a good decision for once.
Then about 8 seconds into the Washington game Haywood is on the bench with 2 fouls lol

DB 670
JG 670

PP 558
TM 584
BB 619

Dear Mr. Wallace,
My name is Mr. P. Lawrence of the Gangster BB and I am a big fan of yours. I wanted to thank you for granting my wish by throwing up 2 3-pointers in the last 30 seconds to tie the game against the Bobcats. I am a big fan of the Pistons - I picked you and your team to win against the Bobcats. Your win gave me 5 points in my fantasy basketball game. Go Pistons!
I am so happy to see you granting my wish like this - you probably heard that I recently got my 6000th post on the bulletin board. Please check the board in a few days - by then, I'll get my 7,000th and I'll dedicate it to you.
Your Fan,
Plaw
P.S. - Thank you for not getting involved in that ugly fight. I had Ron Artest in our "Who's going to get kicked out of the league?" Pool. I had my faith that your cooler head will prevail.

You gonna take that from him??!! :p

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/22/04 03:33 PM
I'm not JG, but I'll take that one.....
Very simple. When I get into second place, i assume that I'm at least there to stay (altho I have had a few ups and downs).
When JG hits second, we know he's only there temporarily.

Yo 'Sheed,
Thanks for last night, but please allow me to inform you that there is a guy in my fantasy basketball league who sends letters to players and signs my name.
I have consulted with my attornys, and am considering a lawsuit, the hope being that he will be distracted enough to relinquish his hold on first place.
Meanwhile, pleas ignore whatever he writes. You'll know it's him because his letters are postmarked from Chicago rather than Secaucus, NJ.
BTW, I'm a huge Nets fan, and my son and I will be going to the game on February 5th. We both hate the Pistons for beating us in the conference semis last year, so we'll be there to root against you.
Oh, and where were you during the big brawl? You'd think that you and some of your teammates would have gone into the stands to help out your loyal fans who instigated the whole thing with those poor, misunderstood Pacers.
You're nothing but a big wuss, actually.
Yours truly,
P. Lawrence

That annoys me- it makes me think there is something more to the fines than just what they did.
There used to be a priest at my church who would give "chores around the church" as penance (yeah I can't spell) to people. No Hail Mary's just something like- there is a dinner coming up and we could use the extra help. I was told to clean the pues (yeah I can't spell lol).
It would be nice if the fines went to charity, but if its going to the league I just don't think its right. They need an extra 100,000 for something and Rasheed Wallace gets thrown out of a game they can just suspend him for an extra game for no other reason than for the money.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/22/04 10:56 PM
Hey plaw... Not that it's a big deal or anything, but I think my score is 5 points too low.
Of course, when my score is 5 points too high, I'll conveniently forget to tell you!
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/22/04 11:11 PM
Fixed.
When I did the scores this morning, I must have still been upset that on a day when I had a golden opportunity to gain ground, I got a combined 13 points from my backcourt.
And then, to compound my problems, when I did my team for tomorrow I failed to realize that KG is playing tomorrow, so I picked Chris Webber.
Then when I realized that KG has a game tomorrow, I had to take him back at 22.9 instead of the 22.4 I had him locked at.
And for me, the .5 makes a difference tomorrow.
plaw- is there a cap on salaries?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 11/22/04 11:21 PM
A good question, my son.
I assume you mean "is there a limit to how high an individual player's salary can go?"
I really don't remember from last year, but my guess would be "No".
Garnett is 22.9 right now. If he increases .5 each week (the max weekly increase) for 13 more weeks, that will get him up to 29.4, which seems OK if he's gonna be averaging 30-35 fantasy points per game.
I think we talked about this last year, and agreed that a logical way to do it would be to have the guy's "FB Avg." equal his cap value.
The only problem with that is that as you get deeper into the season and it becomes harder and harder to affect a guy's FB Avg with just one good or bad week, a guy could have a great week or a horrible week, and it might only affect his cap FB Avg, and hence his cap value, by only .1 or .2
Hope that helps, my son.
yes it does
thanks for adding the "my son" :p

Weird, I got an email today from some guy wanting me to join their group - he says his group was ranked 2nd overall last year.
What's the point of the high ranking if you're recruiting "ringers" (not that I consider myself one) in your league?

Dan Patrick reported that on the 1:00 am SportsCenter
"This just in- Carmelo Anthony is now JGEOFF's bitch-slave"

He could always find a public computer at an internet cafe or someting. That's what
dedicated fantasy players like
I do when we are computer-less.
Or,
you could register for him. I'm sure that JG wouldn't mind you maintaining two accounts, considering the circumstances.
You could tell him which avatars are available -- I believe I suggested Sonny or Fredo (famous older brothers), which would be particularly appropriate in your case, since you are the younger brother, or he could use the one of Buscetta....
(Get it? The guy who never says anything.....) -- and then after selecting a screen name and avatart, he could tell you what to post.
Hope this helps.....

I'm not good at making grand dramatic posts lol
well the other board I'm on was great but now "the people who were there before" (a 2 year old board with people who were there for like 3 months and posted 80 times) come back on and start insulting the people who are there now and when I said something about it I was told that they are old friends of the boards and that it's okay. :rolleyes:

What's the Commissioner's ruling if someone got shutout from picking a team for tomorrow? I hope the top four in our league all got in.
Everybody's screaming over on the ESPN message board.
I think when I ended my picks this morning I was over the cap and was going to come back tonight and fix it
I saw alot of posts saying if they couldn't get it fixed then tomorrow wouldn't count but I'll believe that when I see something official.

I saw alot of posts saying if they couldn't get it fixed then tomorrow wouldn't count but I'll believe that when I see something official. Something similar happened last season when ESPN forgot that there was a february 29th, everything got all screwed up, and they didn't count the day.
But we counted it anyway (we were able to reconstruct our teams from our respective transaction logs.
What I would suggest is that if you, JG, or DB were unable to pick a team, we hold the scores of those who did in abeyance, pending the end of the season.
Then we should determine if the missing scores would have affected the final outcome of the standings.
For example: If you are the only one who didn't pick a team for tomorrow, and you finish 300 points out of first, excluding the scores held in abeyance then it really doesn't matter, so everyone else's scores should count.
On the other hand, if you finish only 100 points out of first, including the scores held in abeyance, then not having a team tomorrow potentially affected the final outcome, so none of the scores should count.
In other words, if ESPN doesn't count the day, and I finish the season ahead of DB, but if
we count the scores then DB finishes ahead of me, then he should be the winner, unless you finish only, let's say, 90 points behind, in which case the fact that you were unable to pick a team potentially cost you first place.
I don't think I explained that very well....maybe DB can in fewer words.
I see what you mean plaw. You are a man of many words but I got it :p
There are still 4.5 hours left for them to get it fixed so we'll see what happens.
edit: if espn says the scores won't count what will you guys do then?
53 for dirk
plaw they aren't b**ching about it on the message board anymore

I'm quite sure they'll run the numbers once the site is back... so no need to worry. BUT, if they don't, then of course those whom I picked tonight should count! Not my problem some lazy asses waited until 2:59am to make picks! :p
tonight's scores better count lol I was the only one to take cle
and I believe one person ahead of me took Jackson but I'm not sure.
edit: nevermind I'm not good with a clock by tonight YOU meant Friday, but I meant Thursday

Plaw only had me by like 80 points if I remember correctly and I gained about 12-13 on him so he has me by 70- which isn't THAT much

Shit, you could have a heart attack and die (God forbid) during the day -- and you'd lose those precious points!!
I never leave my team hanging, even if I had to pick the last guy on the list! :p
well whatever you guys decide on I will live by.
I need to get to sleep now though, I'm trying to get back on a normal sleep schedule (no more 5 in the morning) and until I do its none of the good stuff from my fiance

I believe that yesterday, among DB, JG, myself, and DM, these were are teams, altho I'm not 100% positive (scores in parens):
DB JG PL DM
-
PG Miller(12) Miller(12) Miller(12) McGuiness(16)

C Ilgy(10) Ilgy(10) Ilgy(10) Ilgy(10)
CCH Denv(0) Denv(0) Denv(0) Cleve(5)
-
Total 115 110 115 124
If above is correct, standings for the Top Four are as follows:
DB 3424 115 3539
JG 3327 110 3437
PL 3314 115 3429
DM 3252 124 3376

NOOOOOO!!! That doesn't make it right. Bear e is an idiot for arguing this point. If he is so smart, he should acknowledge that this stuff up is detrimental to the concet of sportsmanship. A level playing field for all. Otherwise, why bother?

Anyway, the site is back up, but it still looks a little kinky.
We seem to be in good shape, integrity-wise. Only Spike and Pat don't have teams today, so whether ESPN counts today or not, I think that we should (at least among the top four of us).
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/03/04 02:45 PM
This just in from ESPN.....
Due to technical difficulties with Fast Break Challenge on Thursday, Dec 2nd, many players could not update their rosters. This issue has now been remedied. Due to the large number of players who couldn't make their daily picks, no points will be accumulated for Daily Groups on Friday, Dec 3rd. We apologize for the inconvenience.I say we count our scores manually.
Commish? DB? DM?

My opinion - don't count it - follow the ESPN ruling. I doubt any of us are happy with our teams and although Pat and SP miss every now and then, there is still a race for 5th to be decided.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/03/04 02:58 PM
Why aren't you happy with your team? You picked it :p
I'm happy with mine.
We went through the same thing last season with Feb 29th, and we manually counted our scores. What's the difference this time?

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/03/04 03:06 PM
The difference is we had all day to pick on February 28th and were able to go through all the progressions of picking a team that we're comfortable with. We didn't have that yesterday - at least I didn't.
With that said and no matter how any of us feels about our teams, there IS a race for 5th and just because the top 5 were able to pick a team, we shouldn't leave Pat and SP out in the cold.
I gave myself a heart attack and it turns out I DID have a team lol
whatever you guys decide is fine by me.

I'd pick lakers.

I say we include it only in case of a tie -- don't bother adding today's points and making life difficult. But in the end, if it seems it'd matter, we could consider it and add an astrisk.
Tho, if I was to be penalized in the end for getting
my team in on time, then I might me kinda pissed. :p Just remember "Page 15"

If you beat me tonight by 50 points, but according to the ESPN standings I'm one point ahead at the end, you wouldn't want to count it?
But if we were tied you would?
I like the idea of tallying up the scores, and kind of holding them in reserve, just in case. Then we can postpone this whole argument until the all-star break, when we'll have nothing to do anyway.
And who knows? Today's scores might end up making no difference at all, and we can save ourselves the trouble of arguing in the first place.

I guess kinda like that mistake :p :p
sorry plaw lol
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/03/04 06:54 PM
DB's argument, I think -- and I understand it perfectly and think it's completely logical -- is that if he had the chance to check over his team, he would have seen that Croshere isn't playing.
Of course, none of us had the chance to check our teams a second time, either
The other side to that argument is "maybe".
Anyway, if you want to hear some real whining, go over to the ESPN message board.
Some more samples:
_________________________________________________
I had my picks in already so I get stiffed for Friday. Espn needs to get there site in order, this could cost alot more people points. I think those who did not have there picks in order too bad. I miss days cause of work and I don't expect them to do anything for me about it. I think alot of us got hosed because of Espn, what a crock!
_________________________________________________
No points for today. Thats lame. Just because people didnt get lineups in early, everyone has to suffer??? I say if you didnt get it in before the problems arose, your S.O.L !
_________________________________________________
HATE THAT ALL YOU WHINERS WHO COMPLAINED THAT YOU DIDNT GET YOUR LINEUP IN LAST NIGHT SO THEY BETTER FORFEIT TONIGHT! UNLIKE YOU BABIES, I dont want to have another VGM where everytime they have a problem people cry because they didnt get their lineups in so it should be cancelled. GET OVER IT!!! I missed the first two days of FAST BREAK, and I dont bitch and moan, so if you miss one day who gives a rats ass. People, FAST BREAK is not life, stop making it seem so important. For gosh sakes, if some people miss tonight, it would probable make competition even more exciting because people who have missed days will have a second chance.
BOTTOM LINE: IF WE VOID EVERY NIGHT THAT THE SITE GOES DOWN BECAUSE THE LITTLE BABIES DIDNT GET THEIR LINEUP IN, THAT WOULDNT BE VERY FAIR TO EVERYONE ELSE, NOW WOULD IT?

If my brother didn't miss those three days, there's a good chance he'd be in 4th right now.
He's behind by 212 points - if he had a 3 day average for those missed days of 71 points, he'd be in 4th. 71 points??? We all know that's a bad day.

I say we don't count it. I never do my roster until atleast 11 PM or 12 AM. I don't have time to do it before school and fantasy is blocked in school.
Also, I've been having women problems lately. I tried hooking up with this got ass girl today, but ugh. There's also some shit going down tonight that I'm going to be part of. My friends are going to find me some hooches.
BTW, I didn't forget to set my line up. :p
It was a technical difficulty.
I fell asleep around 11:30 and woke up around 1 AM. My computer was off, and even though I could barely walk straight, I still turned it on and tried to do my roster.
Take my word. :p

I'm certainly glad that the point differentials were so small.
Hopefully, yesterday's totals won't affect the final standings, and this is the last time we'll have to discuss it
Of course, if I finish second to DB by two points......
Oh, and BTW, since JG and I both unequivocally agreed that yesterday should count, I declare myself officially unofficially in second place.

How does the NBA rank their teams? The Wizards are 10-5 and Miami is 11-7, yet The Wizards are in 2nd and Miami is in 3rd in their conference.
beth I believe they rank them by losses.
Because wizards played 15 games miami played 18. If the wizards won the 3 games they would be 13-5 compared to 11-7.

that number is the ranking for each conference- top 8 teams from each conference goes to the playoffs

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/05/04 05:09 PM
My newspaper doesn't have that.....
I thought it would be what DM said, but if that were the case, then this morning Orlando would be #1 seed in the Eastern Conference, followed by Washington (2), Cleveland (3), Indiana (4) and Miami (5).
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/05/04 05:15 PM
Actually, that's wrong, too.
The top three seeds for the playoffs are the three division winners, regardless of their W-L records.
So as of now, the rankings would be Orlando (1), Cleveland (2), Knicks (3), Washington (4), Indiana (5), Miami (6), Detroit (7), and Boston (8).
plaw- so after the first 3- the next 5 just go by rank out of ALL divisions(in that conference)?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/05/04 05:35 PM
That's the way they've done it in the past.
Although this is the first year of the 3 division set-up in each conference, I can't see them doing it any other way.

My "Must Haves" last night were Amare Stoudamire, Marion, and Miller.
The only guards I would have taken were Nash or Bibby, and Pierce, Johnson or Richardson. There was no way to have a combination involving those 5 guys if I used cap room on any of the four coaches last night.
My mistake was taking Johnson over Richardson.

I was at the Bulls game last night. Great game. Going to games are a lot better when they win - I knew all of us had Bronnie so I didn't care if he did all that well.
Best part of all - FREE BIG MAC!
Quick question for JG - I was working with all the permutations of the lineup last night - by taking Zach, you didn't have enough to get the Portland Coach?

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/09/04 09:24 PM
They jury is still out on the "not picking a coach" strategy.
On a day when there are very few games, and one standout player at each position, it's quite possible, if not likely, that the by spending only 3.0 on a coach and sacrificing the possible 5 points you could get by spending more, and using the extra cap room on players, you will benefit by more than 5 points.
And remember, the 5 points for picking a coachis no lock. He still has to win.
If I pass jg tonight I hope he doesn't feel like he has the FLU or anything :p :p

I guess today it didn't make that much of a difference -- the one guy out of the top four who did pick a successful coach has the lowest score -- but it sure did the other day when PL lost a spot by those exact 5 pts!

Any battling you do with me, if there is any, will eventually be for first, not second.
If you're battling for second in a few weeks, it will be with DB.
NO games are set in stone (chi over cle by 30, chi over Lakers, cha over orl, cha over ny, no over utah) so I don't see how the no coach strategy is not smart. Even ATL gave MEM a run the other night.
I don't see how someone can spend 5-6 million on a coach (depending on the day, if its a 4 team day etc) for only 5 points.
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/10/04 06:50 AM
Anyone who's paid any attention to my coach picks already knows my strategy. But, in any event, the hard-core schmucks on the ESPN msg board would disagree, and say that you HAVE to have a coach. But, as far as I'm concerned, I actually agree with Plaw here. And I tried it, and didn't really lose anything. So, I agree... I think it depends on the particular circumstances (well, MATH!) that day.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/10/04 06:50 AM
That's pretty much what i was saying at the top of the page here.
If you spend 5 cap points on a coach, and he wins 90% of the time, you're getting less than one game pont per cap point.
Take a shot with a coach for 3 cap points, have him win 25% of the time, get your half point or so per day from your coach, and spend the other 2 cap points on players.
But again, this isn't always sound strategy. It appears to be unnecessasry on days when there are a lot of good choices among the players.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/10/04 06:53 AM
The bottom line is, I think, that you get the fewest "game points" per "cap point" out of all the positions.
You can waste 6 cap points on a coach and get nothing, after all.
So it makes sense to spend as little as possible on a coach.
Anyone who's paid any attention to my coach picks already knows my strategy.
would that be the "I suck anyway, why waste money on a coach?" strategy :p
in all seriousness though, if alot of people start doing this "no coach" strategy it will eventually backfire on you. Atlanta is great right now because they are what 2.9 or something like that, with people taking them because of there low value it will eventually go up.
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/10/04 06:55 AM
AND, I hate this b.s. paying up to 6.6 (If you're worth 6.6, gimme 6.6 pts!) for a coach that will only get you 5.0 (or otherwise zero!)... These caps are out of control so early in the season - pretty soon, like last year, no one will have KG every day...
But then again - everyone's in the same boat, so... doesn't really matter.

I'd like to hook him up for some trash talking with Big Daddy.
oh no, JG starting in with the ebonics on me lol
I'm still trying to figure out pat's "bust a cap" and "choke a bitch" lol
I do agree with you about the salaries though. 6.5 for a team is b.s. and at the rate KG is going we'll only be able to pick KG and ATL lol

I'm sorry, I thought when you showed it to me and I fell on the floor laughing and then said "3 inches, yeah thats the biggest one I ever had" and then rolled my eyes that you knew I was joking. Guess I need to be a little less subtle next time

Oh, sorry! I "pulled a Plaw" (with my typing!) and really meant 13 inches!!
(Where's the "yeah right!" smilie?)
oh wait that would only be if you REALLY had it lol :p :p (oh wait that might fit as well)

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/10/04 07:32 AM
Okay, I gotta save this post. Cuz maybe tomorrow I'll be able to figure it out -- tho I doubt it!!!
you said where was the "yeah right" smily for your 13"
so the first one was an open mouth but that would only be if you HAD the 13 inches
the 2nd one was sticking his tongue out so that would also be if you had it (licking)
3rd one is kinda weird, I knew this girl when I was 13/14 who was talking to her friend about how her bf liked her to pretty much chew "bite repeatedly" on his penis
the eek would be if you really had it
rolled eyes would be the "yeah right smilie"
sorry it's late lol

At halftime, I was killing you. Then I got just about nothing in the second half from Parker, Allen, and Dampier.
The emergence of DM has made this into a very interesting competition so far, and I gotta give the kid credit.
He did well in what little he played of baseball, is doing nicely at Salary Cap Football considering that he started two weeks late, and is doing very well here.
Plus, he seems to be a pretty good trash talker, also.
I have a strong feeling that no one is gonna really pull away this season, and it will come down to the "Big Four" all having a shot going into the last few days.

You forgot a few things:
1) I'm now in Second Place (again)
2) I'm only 64 pts from First
3) See what happens when you make fun of Redd?
4) DB really screwed up not picking Wade
5) You and DB both screwed up with your C's
6) TM in 7th Place did even better
7) AStoudemire was awesome, but still overshadowed by KG
8) You were right about your Melo
9) The Nets actually won a game!
10) I know tomorrow I'll be in 3rd or 4th!!
8) You were right about your Melo
I'm always right, even when I'm wrong, I'm right!
**I had a dream 2 nights ago where out of no where there was a marshmellow on a toothpick for no reason at all and it said pick melo, so I took it as a sign** but there was no "pick mohammed" in there lol
And I doubt you will be in 3rd or 4th tomorrow, I was/am completely lost with my lineup so I am HOPING to just not lose too much ground on you or plaw.

That depends on how you look at it....
The first one we played was 2003 Baseball. I finished first in the first half, second (to DB) in the second half, and had the most points combined for the season.
Then in basketball last year, I won the first half (DB finished second), DB won the second half (I finished second), but I again had the most points for the season. (I also won a separate game for the playoffs)
Then, in baseball last year I won both halves, (with DB finishing second in both), and, obviously, led in overall points yet again.

Don't be too worried (This is from a different source now!) but Okafor needs to have a GREAT game:
to put a twist on a classic
he picked Hill but he might not play

"Ain't that a kick in the shin?"

Honestly plaw, and I'm not just saying this because you have him: I don't think he will. I think with all of the injuries this guy has had over the past few years they are probably going to be extra cautious with him. So even if he does play it might be for limited minutes (just my opinion)
edit: I just heard he went from questionable to game time decision - I don't know which of those is better though
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/12/04 11:38 PM
To be perfectly honest, I was in a bit of a rush when I picked today's team, and didn't look at the injury reports.
I don't know if Hill play or not. I'm just hoping Hill play.
Good thing for me 'Melo and Nazy combined for a rousing 17.
plaw- it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I checked Hill last night and it didn't say anything about an injury (yes he missed a game but that could have been for a number of reasons).
You had a 20 point lead on me anyway lol
I'm just hoping for a bad day from odom, or a gs loss, or both :p .

well plaw, I do feel sad when I think about all the missed days. most of them I actually couldn't make my picks, but I feel angry by the days I forgot to do that..
I had problems picking teams for today and yesterday but tomorrow's team took me all of 3 minutes.
I think you just need to play more days. The more you play the more you are able to see things. Like say Vashon Leonard is having a great week you will know you want him and that makes things easier. Just coming in and picking 5 players that you aren't real familiar with how they are doing is not helping.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then!
Words of wisdom from the ESPN message board:
The question: I can fit either Kobe or Ray Allen in my lineup, who should I take? (no this isn't me)
Allen if you want 15+
Kobe if you want to get a lot of stats... he wants to out-do Allen pretty bad and he's gonna be getting to that charity stripe often. I'd say 25+ minimum.
Well according to that logic and the fact that this isn't golf this moron couldn't just say "I think kobe will do better"?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/14/04 10:44 PM
Why these guys even ask each other is beyond me.
As JG once pointed out, half of these posts are of the "Tomorrow's Lineup: Comments Please" variety.
I could understand if someone said, "Well I think Kobe will do better because of the match-up. When the Lakers play so-and-so, he's usually guarded by so-and-so, and because he has a height advantage, Kobe can post his guy up, etc."
So who's it gonna be tonorrow, DM? Kobe or Allen?

You have to think like the average player who's not in the Top 10 Overall and has league mates who do not post on the message board.
None of us would certainly answer a strategy question if it was posted on the GBB but I could see an average player going to the ESPN message board and asking his question. Most of the guys on that board don't consider each other competition anyway (although they technically are), so asking is innocuous.
I'm going to go with Allen. As much as 25 points sounds nice I like the number 15 better :p :p
very good point BD- I never thought of it that way.

Very true.
Not like the top four in our league, all in the 98.3765 percentile or better.
I will, however, confes that I have picked up a valuable strategy tip or two over there.
Not the kind like "Is so-and-so gonna play tonight?", either.
Not like the top four in our league, all in the 98.3765 percentile or better.
if people didn't miss so many days we would HAVE to be close to one of the top groups in the league.
btw plaw what is the groups rank now?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/15/04 12:44 AM
We are #310 out of 8786 groups, which places us in the 96.29 percentile.
There's an axplanation for how the PAA works, and, quite frankly, I really can't seem to figure it out, but here's the thing:
The group ranked ahead of us at #309, "VGM Forever", has 9 members, so i figured they would make for an interesting comparison because when I took a look at their numbers, it seemed to me that ours were better.
So, from The Department Of Useless Statistics, here's a table:
US Them
Position Points Percentile Points Percentile
-
1st Place 4562 99.4 4338 95.3
2nd Place 4517 99.0 4321 94.9
3rd Place 4475 98.4 4309 94.5
4th Place 4473 98.4 4244 92.7
5th Place 4153 89.9 4235 92.4
6th Place 4129 89.2 3911 83.5
7th Place 3982 85.3 3667 78.4
8th Place 3623 77.6 3604 77.3
9th Place -- -- 3415 74.5
-
Average 4239 92.1 4005 87.1
Top 8 Only 4239 92.1 4079 88.7
So someone explain to me how they rank above us

Dec. 13, 09:13 AM ET Dropped Mike Bibby for 19.00
Dec. 13, 09:14 AM ET Added Mikki Moore for 12.30
Dec. 13, 09:14 AM ET Dropped Nazr Mohammed for 14.90Net Result: Minus 40 points
I did the marbury move as well. But now I can't get on the stupid website to change my team! whatever ground I made tonight will be quickly made up by you guys
back to being down 10 to JG

It's not that weird... We all had to take a second tier starter/bench player because Garnett was playing. In a comparison between you and Plaw, it's Plaw's Telfair/Marion/NO vs. your Nash/Freije/GS...
Hmmmm... I think I'd rather have Plaw's combo.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/15/04 02:55 PM
I liked my chances until I saw Telfair only played one minute last night with Van Exel back
I figured if he could get me 4-5 points with his 4.3 cap value I'd be in good shape, but now I don't know if he'll even play

At least Frieje is a starter and will get 30 minutes but the only problem is that MORE minutes has the possiblility to lead to MORE negative
If shaq doesn't have a HUGE game I can risk losing alot more ground to JG
At least nazr has to go against Big Ben so that should help me lol

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/15/04 03:08 PM
I considered a Frieje/legit PG combo instead of Telfair/Marion, but I was at the Nets-NO game Friday, and I thought the guy really stinks.
A real chucker.
Of course if he gets his 25-30 mins, you never know.
Not if Melo has another 7 point game lol
I think the matchup between me and JG comes down to the Centers.
Francis/Nash - even
James/ Richardson- James
Melo/ cheapo - Melo
I thought the guy really stinks.
no thinking is involved for that one lol but who knows even if he gets 10 points 5 boards and doesn't go 3-20 from the field I can at least get something POSITIVE from him and thats all I really want

Well, DM has the FBA edge, for whatever that's worth.
I've always wondered about two things:
The first, which I brought up last year, is why, on a daily basis and in total, do our scores more often than not wind up lower than the players on our teams combined FBA average?
and
Over the course of the season, do we the players with the highest score, in total, have the highest FBA averages in total?
I have some spare time today. Maybe I'll take a look at question #2
we also didn't throw in the fact that plaw took NO over GS. If GS wins that gives me some breathing room for Frieje to mess up a little.

The first, which I brought up last year, is why, on a daily basis and in total, do our scores more often than not wind up lower than the players on our teams combined FBA average?
I have my reasons but it might make people think and I don't want to help anyone.
Originally posted by Don Sicilia:

The explination is in the "How to Play" section
To get the full list go to the home page and go to group directory. Then go to the top left corner and it says sort by: and then you will see PAA and click that.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/15/04 04:00 PM
I understand what it is, but I was just wondering where our actual number was because the "How to Play" section says that this number is on our group page.

oh, I have no idea where the actual number is. If you understand how it works can you explain why that team is ahead of us
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/15/04 04:14 PM
Well, PAA is stupid because the ranking is weighted towards groups with more members. Look at the group ahead of us - they have one more member and they are all above the 50th percentile. Although the 50th percentile is the median, I would be willing to bet that it's close to the average.
With that said, if that 9th spot is sufficiently above the average such that he makes up for the difference of how our top 8 dominates their top 8 (i.e. their 9th rank guy is at least 1,285 points* above the average), then they'll be ranked above us.
I hope that makes sense.
* 1,285 is the number of points our top 8 scored more than their top 8
so it's not just toal points then its more like golf?
I think I understand it now but it would only play to LARGE groups that ACTUALLY PLAY. If you look at it, if you have the top 2 people in the league but have 3 dnp's there as well then it will negate it.
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/15/04 04:22 PM
Each group is given a Points Above Average (PAA) value, which displays how above or below the group is compared to the average points a group in the game earns. Think of PAA in terms of what "par" is in golf. Makes sense so far...
Each EFC entry -- that is currently in a group -- is used to determine an average game score by adding all EFC points and dividing that sum by the total number of entries.Simple average among all players in a group, gotcha... Should be close to the 50th percentile.
Once this value is determined on a per entry basis, each group member's PAA is added together to determine the group's PAA.Here's where I think they go wrong. If you add it all up together, then it's more weighted towards groups with more members. Let me put it simply: Say there's a group of 9 all scoring 100 points above average and a group of 10 all scoring 100 points above average. The PAA for Group 1 is 900 while the PAA for Group 2 is 1000, meaning Group 2 will be ranked ahead of Group 1, although Group 2 has no discernable advantage other than having one more member. What they should do is average all the PAA within each group so that Group 1 and Group 2 will be ranked equally.
This total is displayed on each group page, as well as in the Group Directory, which can be sorted by "Rank". There is no prize for the group with the highest PAA and it is only displayed to increase group against group competition.I can't see it.

OK, guys....from
The Department Of Useless Statistics I started tracking the FBAs and the +/- on November 14th. There were one or two days when the FBAs didn't get posted, and there were the two days when the site was messed up.
And I only did our group's "Top Four".
But we have 28 days times 4 players worth of data to look at, or 112 "Data Samples".
The first question:
Why, on a daily basis and in total, do our scores more often than not wind up lower than the players on our teams combined FBA average?I can't answer that one, but using plus 20 and minus 20 as examples of "good" days vs. your FBA, and "bad" days vs. your FBA, here's what I came up with:
Number of Days Number of Days
+20 or More -20 or More
Over FBA Under FBA
-
DB 2 4
PL 1 8
JG 2 9
DM 4 9
-
Total Number of Total Number of
"Plus" Days "Minus" Days
-
DB 11 17
PL 10 18
JG 9 19
DM 10 17
-As for the second question:
Over the course of the season, do we the players with the highest score, in total, have the highest FBA averages in total?Here's a chart for that:
Points FBA Game Points
Scored Points per FBA Point
-
DB 3104 3233.4 .959
PL 3056 3288.2 .929
DM 3034 3256.7 .932
JG 3011 3281.5 .918So.....
DB averages almost 2 points a day better than PL, while using an average of about 2 FBA points a day less than PL.
DB averages about 2.5 points a day better than DM, while using an average of almost 1 FBA point a day less than DM.
DB averages more than 3 points a day better than JG, while using an average of almost 2 FBA points a day less than JG.
PL averages a little less than 1 point a day better than DM, while using a little more than 1 FBA point a day more than DM.
PL averages almost 2 points a day better than JG, while using about the same number of FBA points as JG each day.
DM averages almost 1 point a day better than JG, while using almost 1 FBA point per day less than JG.
I once remarked that this game could be regarded as strictly a mathematical exercise. Even if you didn't know any of the playes, just try and pick the highest possible FBA average each day while staying within the cap, and you can't do
too badly.
As I paged through the previous posts to get the data for this study, I did notice that clearly the bottom four players in our group usually had lower FBA averages than the top four, and I'm pretty certain that days missed notwithstanding, that's the primary reason for thier poorer performance.
As far as what it proves for the top four, I'm really not sure of anything.
I'm thinking that the sample size might possibly be too small.
My instincts tell me that the person who has the highest FBA total
should have the most points.
If I
really had the time, I'd go back to last year's thread and do a whole season's worth of studing, but I'm not that nuts (at least not yet).
Hmmm.....I just thought of something.....
These figures don't take into account what happens on a day that you pick someone who doesn't play.
Given how close these averages are, one or two DNPs could affect them significantly.
Gentlemen?

What they should do is average all the PAA within each group so that Group 1 and Group 2 will be ranked equally.
I can see the logic in the way they do it, though....
It's harder for a group of ten to have ten people averaging 100 points better than the norm than it would be for a group of nine.
For example, DB, if just you and I formed a group and we are both in the 99th percentile, should we rank higer than a group of 50 who are all in the 90th?
Seems like their group would be a little more impressive than one with just you and me.
This total is displayed on each group page, as well as in the Group Directory, which can be sorted by "Rank". There is no prize for the group with the highest PAA and it is only displayed to increase group against group competition.Yeah, I don't think it's there on the group page like it's supposed to be.

A DNP from one or two players is a statistical anomaly... How is it any more significant than picking Michael Redd and getting 3 or 4 points?

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/15/04 05:38 PM
I guess that accounts for DB's invitation to join another group.
They must have had some spots open, and were looking to add players with high rankings.
More players in the group = Higher PAA.
I don't really think there is a "fair" way to figure this.
You could take everyone in a group, add up all their points, get an average per player, and rank the groups that way, but that would penalize the larger groups.
It's harder to have a group with 50 good players than it is to have a group of only two, both of whom are good.
So the way this works is, if BB, PP, TM, and SP were to leave our group, our ranking would be even lower, since despite the fact that they are not doing well by the standards of our group, they are still getting us PAA "points" because they are all above the 50th percentile.
DB 11 17
PL 10 18
JG 9 19
DM 10 17
plaw was there a day that I was even? This is the chart for minus and plus days- everyone adds up to 28 but mine is only 27, just wondering if I was even or if that makes a difference in what you did.

There was a day when you scored 114 with a 114.0 FBA.

I see your point... I guess there really is no fair way to do it, the way groups are currently structured (with different sized private and public groups). In any case, it's a stupid statistic since it isn't a fair way to compare different sized groups.
The only fair way is to have all the groups the same size.

now what are the odds .........oh nevermind :p :p
what about injured players for fba? Say I took Reggie the first day he came back. My FBA would be significantly lower (since Reggie would have had a 0) than everyone elses yet I would still have had around the same final score.
I'm just saying in terms of your study plaw, say the day I took reggie instead of Lebron was the first day Reggie came back- me and you have the same exact team except for those two
The other 4 players get there EXACT fba for that game.
So say your team has 100 fba with Lebron's 29 fba
My team would have 71 (0 for miller).
Lebron had 25 compared to reggie's 32
Final scores would be you 96/100
me 103/71
For pretty much the "same" basic team as there is not a 29 point fba difference between Lebron and Reggie- in that situation you appear to have "lost" points where as I appear to have had a "genius" day by going 30 over my average where in all actuality I may have only REALLY went 8 over my average (since Reggie's real fba would be around 24 and not 0)- does that make sense lol

Hmmm....
Both cases affect you negatively, but for different reasons.
When the guy doesn't play, you had no chance to get any points at all. It was "bad picking" maybe, because you didn't know he was injured, but his zero total is not reflective of the same "poor playing" that made you take Redd on a night when he only score 3 points because of
his poor playing.
There are three skill sets involved in this game, I think:
1- The ability to pick a new team each night without missing any days.
2- The ability to intentionally not pick any players who aren't going to play at all.
3- The ability to predict how a player will do, for whatever reasons you use, on a given night.
If Redd scores 3 points, it could be because of the matchup, which could be predictable. It could be because the guy he is guarding always gets him into foul trouble, and his minutes will be down, which is predictable.
But if you picked a guy who doesn't play because he's injured, that's usually because you just weren't paying attention.
I don't know if I made my point very well, or if I did that it makes any sense, though.
Here's another scenario:
Suppose I pick a team of 5 players, and use 96.0 of cap room.
But all of the coaches who are "playing" that night have a value of 4.1 or more.
So I can choose a coach with a value of anywhere from 2.7 or whatever to 4.0
Should whatever I spend on a coach that night count in the figures that I used above?
I intentionally spent only 96.0. The only reason i picked a coach is because I had to, since my last coach would have left me over the cap.

I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
Perhaps you would care to elaborate?

OK....I think I get it now.
Reggie's FBA was zero because he hadn't played any games yet.
So, yeah, your FBA on that day would have added up to only those of the players who
had an FBA in the first place.
Now, while I would certainly hesitate to call you a genius for picking him that day (which you didn't, anyway) the fact is that on his first day back he could have played only 15 minutes and shot 0-6 or something with a bunch of turnovers.
So anyone who
did pick him demonstrated a certain level of acumen.
Perhaps what they should have done is put Reggie's last year's FBA up, to give people an idea, but I guess an FBA is an FBA, and zero is zero.
But since you don't get anything for having a high FBA Points to Game points ratio, only a nut like me (and, seemingly, you) would care.
Had you picked him that day, it would have been, as DB says, a statistical anomoly.
Now, while I would certainly hesitate to call you a genius for picking him that day (which you didn't, anyway)
I was just adding some drama to it
I see what you are saying now though and it makes sense.
But since you don't get anything for having a high FBA Points to Game points ratio, only a nut like me (and, seemingly, you) would care.
maybe so but it never hurts to understand your opponents thinking either.
I bring up exhibit A:
baseball last year (the quote as I remember it) plaw said "I picked Baltimore knowing SC would pick Baltimore"
So it is good to know if there are risk takers out here (say like JG who has had a low FBA the past few days) I would know to look out for that. On the other hand if I was playing someone that just seemed to have a high FBA all the time I would know that as well incase it came down to the last few days and I had to beat him.

What does your question about Miller and the effect of picking him on your FBA average have to do with giving you any insight into the way I think about the game?

Some of the highest scores the past few days (in the whole league) came off of teams with low FBA's (risk takers) its always good to know (at least for me anyway) if I'm dealing with risk takers or not. (no coach comes to mind)

For me personally I can't figure you out just by looking at your picks. I REALLY thought I had you all figured out and then BAM you changed - so rather than looking at the actual picks I'd rather look at your numbers.
Also, it wasn't the reggie thing that I was talking about it was just how you said that FBA only matters to me and you and I was just saying that it can be used for more than to just figure out who's people had the better day compared to there average.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/15/04 07:27 PM
FBA means a lot to me - in this quote from Plaw, he means me:
Even if you didn't know any of the playes, just try and pick the highest possible FBA average each day while staying within the cap, and you can't do too badly.
Well, no, I'm not doing
too badly. I'm beating DMC, aren't I?
However, I will admit that after a long season+ of playing this, of course I'm learning something about the players. I'm actually paying
some attention to other things besides FBA... and yeah, some risks paid off, and some didn't.

I know its a different sport but you can't say that during baseball you never once said- I want Beltran or do I want Guillen ok well Beltran is going against Johnson and Guillen is going against a pitcher named JG (who HAS to suck :p ) I think I'll take Guillen. It's the same thing.

If you picked Redd and he scores only 3 points because Bruce Bowen was covering him the whole game or if you picked Tinsley while he's injured so he gets you zero points... it's the same situation. You weren't paying attention in either case. The fact that Tinsley is a guaranteed zero while Redd is a probable 3 shouldn't have bearing on how you do your analysis, in my opinion.

Well, I'm not making excuses, but....
To be sure I don't forget, I do my roster after I wake up, all groggy and shit. Who knows how I'd do if I was AWAKE and all! haha
Anyway - There's a LOOOOONG way to go, so NO ONE should be getting all too comfy now! :p

Listen, kiddo (
) ...!
Since Day 1 (two years ago) I've realized that there was a very positive correlation between my talking-smack and losing, and my reticence and winning! Granted, a couple weeks ago I really did feel comfortable enough to talk smack, thinking I was in a comfy lead... and see what happened? NOW, you are in trouble! Cuz once I stop talking shit, I'm gonna blow you out of the water! :p "So, dress warm."

He went with 3 studs and 2 regular guys.
Could be good picking skill, could be luck, but how you gonna figure 48 points from Morris Peterson and Damon Jones?
Every day ESPN shows us the max team for the previous day. I'm sure you've noticed that it's rare for
anyone to ever have that same roster.
Most days there are one or two guys who were totally unpredictable beating out the studs that everyone else picks.
Again, not to minimize his accomplishment today, but if BB could get a combined decent total
every day from two guys like Jones and Peterson, we'd be chasing
him right now, instead of Little Brother.
My point is, when you say it wasn't the smartest move we could have made, I'd say that our respective rosters on a given day almost never are the "smartest".
They were good enough today to beat the guys in front of us. That's all I care about right now.

The problem tomorrow is no Garnett or Dirk, no Kobe or Lebron, no Shaq or Wade.
No studs to build a team around. Strictly a crapshoot.
JG- my only problem is that people can't see HOW you are typing. And I've lost many a friend by saying something sarcastic over the computer and having people take it as being real.

I've wondered about this for over a year already. In retrospect, EVERY SINGLE DAY, I'm like "of course!" But, shit, it seems almost impossible to pick *that* lineup, even when 100 other people overall have. And, it's not like every one of us don't say to himself "THIS will be tomorrow's BEST lineup!" cuz we ALL must think that, cuz otherwise we'd've picked a different lineup!

maybe you should pick a different lineup :p

Oh, never mind... haha
Blown out of the water = bad
Blown in the water = good
'nuf said!
the only time that lineup thing annoys me is when the top PF is NOT KG.....because its suicide to pick against KG even though in the back of your mind you are saying Do I take Brand tonight? No way you'll get screwed again by KG.
Maybe if I didn't get screwed that one night when I picked dirk over KG and lost 25 points because of it I would go against KG some but its like touching the hot stove...

How dare they promote a religion that isn't even their own.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/16/04 06:38 AM
It really won't take long before NO ONE takes KG any more cuz he's too expensive. That's what I recall from last year: Zach Randolph was cheap as shit to start, and creating megapoints, so everyone started picking him instead!
When the 2005 Zach shows up, KG will be a distant memory...!
I know there is a pet peeve thread but the one thing I hate is when people say something like :
Person: "Hey I hate women with white shoes"
Me: "My wife wears white shoes"
Person: "Oh I'm sorry I was just joking around"
NO YOU F'N WEREN'T BE A MAN AND STAND BY WHAT YOU SAY!
so if the sarcasm (that I didn't take as sarcasm) is what plaw felt and said it and stood by it who am I to say something?

As for that, that seems to be the right proportion for a formal paper: 5% gold, 90% horseshit!
I have to compare Rousseaus's social contract in a small society to Madison's Federalist Papers in a small society and each in a large society.
Then tie in a book about opressed women in a futuristic society and THEN explain how one of the first 2 books fits our society today better than the other

Actually, no -- that was the program my degree happened to be in.
Here's the condensed story:
1) Went to college (Rutgers) for Comp Sci from high school, but, that course was closed out already Freshman year.
2) Took Psychology 101 Freshman year cuz it seemed "interesting"
3) Four years later, ended up with a BA as a Psych major, with a lab science option even
4) Went to Montclair State for a Masters in Counseling
5) Worked for 4 years or so as a counselor/therapist to troubled/emotionally disturbed teens
6) Went back to Rutgers Grad School of Education, cuz that's where their Counseling program was: Got an EdM in Counseling Psychology.
7) Two Masters degrees in hand, no work; end up online, and making web sites
8) Cut to 2004
There's my life story the last 20 years - lol

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/16/04 07:27 AM
I would LOVE to get back into that, tho, it was quite stressful (to say the least!), but, I was VERY good at it cuz I am apparently on the same level as most of the time!
They trusted me more than anyone, and, quite frankly -- and professionally -- it seemed that the parents were often the ones as or more f'd up than the kids. But I was always there to listen, and not judge.
I guess that is, as Plaw mentions, why I tend to have much patience w/ most of the kids on this board. Shit, I turned Vercetti around!

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/16/04 07:34 AM
What's she do?
UMDNJ - was very familiar with them at the time...!
I actually applied for a job with Big Bros / Big Sisters in Monomouth County -- thought it'd be rewarding and all, but, as much as they liked me (I was in that interview for over an hour, and, we chatted it up like old friends!), but, they decided to go with someone with more *current* experience... *sigh*... See, I wanted to do it cuz I thought it'd be rewarding, NOT for the money (or lack thereof, in that field!)... but, I'd rather they have the better person there anyway... that's how I really feel...
she is a secretary for UMDNJ at a school - they have them on site for some of the "bad schools"
If anything comes up around your area I'll let you know and then you can take it from there, if you want.

I lived right on the border -- right by Bush campus, and we'd go to -- shit, what's that road, that has Pizzeria Uno's and shit on it? We were throwing distance from there, and went there and I think Bennigans (sp) was there, too.
At the same time, SP is quite big -- I think Sam Ash on Rte 1 was considered SP, tho it could be Edison.
AND, then there's the job I almost got doing video shit, in SP, but off 287 exit 13 section of SP that I could never put together in my head as part of SP... lol...
Stelton Road?
and yeah I have no idea what exit 13 is part of SP

I know it well - but - it freaks me out when I went to this place in SP off exit 13 and stil have NO idea how it relates to where I know everything else to be in the same town! haha It might as well be a different town! lol
But shit, never say "near Edison" when you mean "South Plainfield" -- be proud of your shit, man! :p I LOVE that area!
when I'm around people who know where the hell it is I can be "proud of it" lol

I have to compare Rousseaus's social contract in a small society to Madison's Federalist Papers in a small society and each in a large society.
Then tie in a book about opressed women in a futuristic society and THEN explain how one of the first 2 books fits our society today better than the other
How's money gonna help you with that one?
everybody's got a price
plaw if there is one thing I've learned about college is that money goes along way. The college my friend goes to his father donated 150k to a building project or something like that- the kid doesnt hand in his final for a course and gets an A in it. something fishy there wouldnt ya say?

Well, money may solve a lot of mundane problems, but it won't make someone HAPPY, necessarily...
Sure, it'd make ME happy! but, in general? Beyond the "bills" and shit...
OK, I'm gonna agree: Money can buy happiness!!

5 pages of posts and all I learned was that burgers from this one place is good. Full-sized White Castles?? That does sound good!
Hey plaw... what kind of poker do you play online? I'd like to play but only if it's free and if it's texas hold'em because that's the only game I know well. Learning the other types wouldn't be too hard though, I guess.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/16/04 03:24 PM
I don't much care for Hold 'Em. I grew up on 7 card stud, been playing it for 40+ years, and i figure I'm too old to learn the nuances of another game.
Anyway, my son who has apparently inherited my poker gene, found this site. You
can play for real money by sending them some dough on a credit card, but there's no way they're gonna any money out of me.
I mean, all these "on-line casinos"....How do you know that you're playing against real people or a computer program designed for you to always lose?
You can also play for "Demo Money". I guess they figure you'll play for fun and then get sucked in to the real thing.
The demo games are fun for me because I play like it's real money, where must people don't, so I usually win. They start you off with a free $1,000, which I've run up to more than $20,000 in a couple of weeks of 7 Card Stud Hi-Low.
Anyway, if you wanna play sometime, it's
http://www.pacificpoker.com You have to download and install their software, but I imagine it's safe.
IM me or PM me and we can play at the same table, or we can make a definite appointment. Although the games have a chat feature where players can talk among themselves, we can keep our IM open, and chat privately about what's going on.
I'll play Hold 'Em. Even though I'm no expert, I know more or less what I'm doing.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/16/04 05:01 PM
I've tried a couple online casinos -- I'd play for fun, and do okay. As soon as I'd start playing for money, forget it!
Sounds like fun, I'll check it out.
I've played at, and people seem to love,
EmpirePoker.com tho. It's in Canada so when you lose $100, you're really only losing $81.
I also enjoyed
InterCasino.com years ago, which has many different games... and they're probably still spending my dropped money!

Each person gets 3 cards. Then there are 4 "community" cards dealt. You make the best 5 card poker hand you can.
Plaw- can you use just 1 of your cards or is it a min of 2?
(that is the way I remember learning it, is that right?)
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/16/04 09:29 PM
That's not 7 card stud
No community cards.
Everyone gets 2 down and one up, and you bet.
Everyone gets 3 more up cards, and you bet after each one.
Then one more down card, and you bet again.
ah ok, are you at a table on pacific poker? I'm on now just not at a table

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/18/04 06:45 AM
I guess not. If the max number of points you can get from a coach is 5, I think there are days when the money can be better spent elsewhere.
Originally posted by plawrence:

I wonder if fastbreak ever takes that into account when they put up the "Best team" of the day before?
I don't understand how the high priced teams are STILL going up in value.......what morons are still taking coaches for 6-7 million of "unguaranteed points"
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/18/04 06:55 AM
I thought the same thing. When you look at the max lineup every day, there is always a coach who has 5 points, so I guess not.
Usually, I think, you probably couldn't get a higher max lineup even with no coach.
First of all, if you notice, they always use the cheapest coach that got the 5 points. Also, since virtually every day there's someone in the max lineup that's a surprise and has a low cap value, I'd imagine that there's almost always room for a winning coach.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/18/04 07:05 AM
Do the math.
If the most expensive coaches are 6.5, and you can find one every day who is playing a team they should beat 95% of the time, then you are paying 6.5 cap points to get 4.75 game points, or .73 game points per cap point.
So, if you take the cheapest coach for, say, 2.5 cap points, you save four cap points.
But for that to pay, you have to use those points to get a player who will get you at least 4.75 points, or about 1.2 game points per cap point.
That's hard to do, cuz if we could average 1.2 gane points per cap point, we'd be averaging 120 points a day, which we're not.
so then it would have to depend on the players involved.
example:
Lebron value 22.8 FBA 27.5
GO to the person valued 3.5 million below him (difference between high team and low team)
Michael Redd value 19.1 FBA 16.8
(that would be worth it- Redd is a bad example but even Iverson at value 21.5 FBA 19.9 - still worth it)
**Kevin Garnett can not count because he would only throw off the numbers because of how dominant he is**
Center
Shaq Value 22.2 FBA 23.7
Camby Value 18.8 FBA 17.3
worth it
Point Guard
Marbury Value 22.2 FBA 21.1
Billups Value 18.8 FBA 18.1
not worth it
I used the top valued players as they are more "Stable" (spelling?)
For example look at Simmons he costs 15 mil but plays as though he was a 19/20 mil guy.
He would throw the numbers off because you would say Jim Jackson is .2 higher but if I go with the lower guy I would gain 5 points which isn't "normal"
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/18/04 07:25 AM
All this assumes that the players perform up to their FBA.
Also, we're not talking about a team with only one postion.
If a whole team consists of Lebron and no coach, or Redd and a coach, you could be better off with Lebron
But there are other positons to make moves at also.
I have my method for picking my team, as I'm sure you do. Some days it seems to pay to have a coach, and some days it doesn't.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/18/04 07:44 AM
Penis!
Oops, sorry, you were in a serious discussion...
I, also, can't see spending more than $5m on someone who
can't give me more than 5 freakin' points. But, most of the time, those 5 pts can make a difference. 5 pts a day for a week is 35 pts. With NO coach, you're still paying almost $3m for a guaranteed zero. But sure, even I have said once or twice that offense might outway the measly 5 pts for a Win... as Plaw said, it depends...
You pulled thru this time, DMC! I'm not too happy with tomorrow, but, soon enough I'll take my rightful spot back! :p
You pulled thru this time, DMC! I'm not too happy with tomorrow, but, soon enough I'll take my rightful spot back! [Razz]
no KOBE pulled thru lol 5 from MO PETE and 9 From Nazr was giving me a mild heart attack lol- thats why I put up the first post about you passing me
Then Kobe had a 20 point 1st half and I put up maybe not
Then he had an 18 point 2nd half/ot and I said definitly not lol
Oh Great "you are not happy with tomorrow" I seem to remember those words- A very wise man said them yesterday lol, heres where you have a good day too lol

Woman is getting her hair cut and tells the girls next to her "my husband has the biggest penis in the world"
They all don't believe it and tell her to get pictures, she says she can't because they only have sex with the lights off. So they told her right in the middle to put the lights on.
So that night they are having sex and the woman switches the lights on to find her husband using a cucumber on her. She starts screaming saying you lied to me you said your penis was big and all these years you were using a cucumber....how can you explain that?
The husband resplies- "how do YOU explain the three kids"
According to your math then JG- If I keep picking loser coaches you will catch me. so using today as an example- in 5 days you should only be 62 points behind me :p :p

I wouldn't be so confident if I were you.
BB is leading the pack this week, he's made up 89 points on you since Monday, and he's cut your lead to a very surmountable 242 with nine weeks to go.
You may want to start worrying more about those who are behind you with a shot to catch up than those who are in front of you that we all know you're not gonna catch. :p
I have a feeling the "Top Four" may soon be a "Top Five".
89

eeze!If my point total was increased the same as the difference between mine and BB's, I'd be #1 with a 110 pt lead! :p Unlike myself, he isn't going anywhere!

Hey Plaw - Have you noticed whether any of us have gotten any bonus pts for POTW yet this season? I haven't been paying any attention to that....
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/19/04 03:18 PM
According to the scoring rules at the beginning of the seaon, the 15 point POTW bonus was in effect.
But no one has gotten it, and I think it's disappeared from the scoring rules.
hope you didn't unpack JG :p :p

What are the chances of 3 different centers at different prices to all have the exact same score?????
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/20/04 07:45 AM
Depends on the possible range of scores.
If you wanna say that they can each score anywhere from 10-40, there are 32 possible scores for each.
So the chances of all three scoring the same are 32*32*32, or 1/32,768.
That, however, asumes that there are only 3 centers in the league.
However, since there are about 40 or so, the chances that
any three of them will have the same score are much lower.
But, since there are 40 or so, the chances that the three
that three people select from the 40 have the same score are much higher.
Hope that helps

Plus I'm almost out of money there anyway. I started playing tournaments and took 2nd 3 times and 3rd 4 times only to find out that they weren't paying out the prizes, so I went from a little over 5k to down to 450

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/20/04 05:55 PM
These top groups are doing more than "OK" -- look at the
overall leaderboard :
"uP" (Underground Pride®) has 2 in the Top 3, and 5 more in the Top 47
"[FBI]" (Fast Break Intellects ©) has 5 in the Top 44
"F.B.G." has 2 in the Top 15
"uP" has 77 members in their private group: The Top 4 are at 100%ile, the Top 24 are at or above 99th %ile, and the Top 19 are doing better than DB.
"[FBI]" has 61 members in their private group: The Top 14 in that group are doing better than DB, and the Top 21 are over the 99th %ile.
There's no way to catch up to that with our little group, especially when some keep missing days. I'm sure the top groups have over 90% of their players as consistent as our Top 4, but play even better.
Face it: We suck! :p
Face it: We suck! [Razz]
::cough:: no YOU suck ::cough:: I gotta get this cough looked at lol
my problem with those "top groups" is that they recruit the players, remember one of them contacted DB because he was doing good.
If the points are retroactive then as long as they hand pick who they want you can't catch them.

-38 pts? wrong! :p
Fockin' Payton, tho...
the - was a dash and not a negative sign, although -38 (in that case a negative sign) would have been alot nicer lol
luckily you won't pass me at least lol

Not even close.
The PL-DB rivalry spans almost two years. Eight "halves" from four separate games.
It's a legendary rivalry, unsurpassed in the history of Gangster BB fantasy sports.
I had no idea plaw.
Good thing for me simmons has a whole 2 points at the half so I have a 5 point lead on JG :rolleyes:

That depends on how you look at it....
The first one we played was 2003 Baseball. I finished first in the first half, second (to DB) in the second half, and had the most points combined for the season.
Then in basketball last year, I won the first half (DB finished second), DB won the second half (I finished second), but I again had the most points for the season. (I also won a separate game for the playoffs)
Then, in baseball last year I won both halves, (with DB finishing second in both), and, obviously, led in overall points yet again. [/b][/quote]
sorry I should have explained that better. I meant the no idea part in response to the "legendary rivalry" part (it was a bad shot at sarcasm lol) - yeah I'm losing it

lol it sounded a lot better in my head before it went on the screen lol
yeah for some reason Simmons has been having GREAT 3rd quarters. Last I checked he went from 2 in the first half to 14 in the 3rd, yesterday he went from 1 or 2 in the first half to 18 in the 3rd

I figured if any person was good at going more than one way it would be you JG :p
Clippers were up like 80-2 at the end of the first now its 81-81 lol
at least I'm in 3rd for another day- looking at still having a 20 point lead

No thanks. I don't follow college football at all.
Hey, let me ask you guys for an opinion. It concerns the FC-BD matchup, which FC apparently won because as for now, Yahoo counted the Buffalo TD from a punt block as Defense TD.
Do you think it should count as a Special Teams TD or a Defense TD?
Take into account that although it was available, I didn't count punt or kick return TDs for the Defense because I viewed those as Special Teams TDs, not Defense. If you go by that thinking, however you view the punt block TD makes a difference.
I think Yahoo was confused also - on the team page, it has FC winning by 3 points and on StatTracker, it had BD winning by 3 points. Obviously, those 6 points matter.
What do you think?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/22/04 03:07 PM
Considering that this may have happened previously during the season, and although we didn't notice it because it didn't affect the outcome of the particular game in which it happened, it
may have affected the total points scored tiebreaker.
So I think we have to be consistent throughout.
Although it may not have been your intention to count special team TDs as part of the team's defensive score, if they've been counting all along anyway, then this one should count as well.
Maybe what you need to do is go back through the season and see how this situation was treated in other games .
A fine mess, though.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/22/04 03:15 PM
I would also add that had you asked at the beginning of the season, I would have offered the opinion that Special Teams TDs should count - as part of the defensive score, I guess, if there are no other options.
Special teams force fumbles on kickoff returns which I presume counted in the defensive scores, right?
And they block field goals, which impact negatively on the kicker's score.
So it likes like we're going to have a season shrouded in controversy.

Being new and everything, DM, just so you know.....
When someone takes over first place from someone who has held it for a lengthy period of time, it is customary to offer the new first place holder a hearty round of congratulations.

I wasn't
thrilled about taking JO'Neal after 15 games off, but figured everyone probably wouldn't notice he was back, and, he could just have a great game. Well, he's not. I tried. Shoot me (and DB)!
(Not too thrilled with Crusher at the moment, either.

Josh Howard put on the name tag.
What name tag?

Well, I've been out of commission for the weekend and I just wanted to wish my fantasy basketball compadres a very Merry Christmas! Hope you've had a good holiday!
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/27/04 03:00 PM
"Out of commission", huh? :rolleyes:
Is that your euphemistic excuse for your fall from first place?
Or is saying that you were "out of commission" an excuse for hiding your embarrassment and failing to congratulate me on my ascension to my rightful spot on top?
Since you obviously had access to a computer the past few days and were able to pick your team, I can only view your silence in this thread during the several days of your demise as a huge personal insult.

Why does Richard Hamilton wear that plastic shield on his face? He looks like a ghoulish Phantom Of The Opera.
Beth- that is because he broke his nose.
It's a hard plastic so if he takes a shot to the face the mask takes most of the punishment and his nose is fine.
Posted By: Beth E
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/31/04 03:04 AM
Poor guy. How long does he have to wear it? I suppose that's what Lebron is gonna have to wear.
Actually he doesn't HAVE to wear it. I believe there are 2 reasons he wears it:
1) There is the possibility he can break his nose again so its used for precaution
2) He just got used to it.
From what I've learned through playing sports its that people are VERY superstitous, since he was playing good with that mask on I would bet my life that he never takes it off again.
Posted By: Beth E
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 12/31/04 03:11 AM
After I posted the announcers says he's actually broken it 3 times. That's a hard snout!
They showed him without his mask on. His nose still looks broken. Keep it on there buddy.

(temporarily of course)
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/03/05 03:34 AM
Damn, that's some line!
41 mins
20/27 FG/A
10/17 FT/A (coulda been better!)
11 REB's
3 Assists (slacker!!)
1 TO (not too bad)
1 STL (slacker!)
1 BLK (slacker!)
50 PTS (
)
= 51 FB Pts
Don't worry about packin' just yet, tho...
Is Damon his brother or something, watching from the bench?
well both of our teams lost
Harrington/Nowitzki= 50
Odom/Stoudamire = 62 (2nd half of odom left)
Guess I might not have to pack but it sure is cutting into my lead

Vince Carter admits to not giving 100% in Toronto. To me, I don't care what the situation is, if someone is paying you that kind of money, (I have no idea what he made, but I'm sure it's more then I'll see in a lifetime), they're still paying you, so they're still your employer. I can't stand my job sometimes, but they still pay my salary, and when I punch in it's my responsibility to do all I can to make sure that things go right until I punch out. I think it's irresponsible for these athletes to put themselves ahead of their team. It does an injustice to the fans.

You've GOT to be kidding me. Don't they have better things to do then to monitor a coach's language? Good thing that isn't done in football. So if the coach gets 4 fouls is he out?
Beth- coaches only get Technical fouls- 2 and they are gone.
A LOT of times coaches will curse at the ref to get a technical foul to get his team all fired up.

Beth- the thing to remember is that the coach is basically like a King or General in war. (back in the medieval days) if someone insulted your King or General you would fight that much harder to overcome it. Thats what the players do, their coach gets a technical foul and it gets the players to play better- works BEST when the opposite team MISSES the technical free throw lol

Well, it depends on what you mean by "pull away" since there's roughly a 100 pt diff btwn first and second, and second and third. With, how many months left? :p

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/09/05 06:49 AM
About six weeks left in the first half, and a nine week second half.

so then the overall winner is the only one that "really counts"?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/09/05 06:56 AM
In my opinion, the overall winner should have more weight than the winners of each of the two "halves".
My reasoning is that the only reason that they start a new game in the second half is to attract new players, and give a clean slate to the players in the first half who are hopelessly out of it.
And since, as I'm sure you would agree, the game gets more difficult as the season progressses because of rising cap values, when they start the second half and the cap values are lowered a bit, that makes it easier for everyone, and, since there is now more luck involved, more difficult to win an overall points championship.
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/09/05 06:58 AM
DMC, it depends who you ask. If someone wins, say, the first half but not the second, BUT, wins overall points -- that person will claim that the halves mean nothing, but the overall points are what matters. Yet, if that person was to, say, not win overall points, but won the first half, then that person would just say that the first half was longer and therefore harder, so more important! OR, if the other person.....
Oh, you get the idea.
I hope they don't "adjust" the cap values too much.
At the beginning of the year, anyone can pick- Wade, James, Jefferson, Garnett, O'neal, MIA (I don't know if that EXACT combination worked but you get the idea) but at least now, even though the scores may still be tight it is with different players- that's what tells if you are smart or schmat.

Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/09/05 07:26 AM
The cap values don't really mean that much since everyone has the same cap to deal with. I'll admit I'm always the first to bitch about the cap, in whatever game we play, in whatever sport. But, it really doesn't matter than much since we all gotta deal with it. And since I'm shmat, and I can handle things.... err uh... never mind.

Everyone has the same cap value but it shows brains to see who picks expensive point guard cheap shooting guard or vice versa.

Punk is cool. Especially classic punk. Hell, I like most music, but how can I not bust your ass given the opportunity? (Yeah, I went there!

Listen to Doo-Wop at least. Awesome.
A Cappella 50's rocks. See: A Bronx Tale. And on the country side: Hank Williams (Sr) - there's no better! (I can name a dozen

Yeah, but it gets harder having to deal with the lesser known players.
Harder = more skill and less luck.
And re: overall points....how about someone who wins overall points with out winning either half?

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/09/05 07:46 AM
Listen - You know I only go by numbers when the "stars" aren't playing. I look at the stats just like everyone else. Sure, I don't know the matchups as well, and surely if I spent more time looking at the splits for every single player I'd be right up there as well. It has a lot to do with luck, even near the end. If this was my JOB, I'd sure as hell spend a lot more time on it, and surely would be GREAT at it. Yet, after all that, look who's sweating me - some expert who can't take third place with any authority?? :p
how about someone who wins overall points with out winning either half?
Is that even possible?
Listen to Doo-Wop at least. Awesome. A Cappella 50's rocks. See: A Bronx Tale.
My father has 2-3 doo-wop CD's that I listen to sometimes. 50's is too "old" for my liking- I'm more of a 20's to 40's kind of person.
I LOVE A Bronx Tale.

Ahh, okay - when you get "tired" of me, you'll solidify Third... I get it now! {*yawn*}
That's it, you're going down!
Come to the game on Tuesday, and I'll give you something to solidify!
But you're right - it's definitely more fun going back and forth with someone, rather than solidifying a non-Top-Two spot.

I doubt very much that you help out DM. You are probably the most competitive out of all of us here. You throw a fit whenever someone mentions that there might be rain during the baseball season. :p
Listen, I don't want to prolong this argument or whatever it is anymore than you do. I consider you a friend and a great competitor. Maybe I'm a bit sensitive because of all the crap that BDD has been posting lately, but I've always prided myself in playing the correct way, having fun with it, and competing. I thought that's why people enjoy playing against me. If I misunderstood your comment, then I apologize and I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.
I know DMC has made similar "collusion" comments in the past - I ignored him because I just took him as a young upstart trying to impress you and Pork. But for it to come from someone I respect like you, it just bothered me a little. I would think that when you call someone your "Most Worthy" adversary - it is not only because of his level of skill, but also because of the integrity and fairness with which he plays the game.
With that said, this episode is done for me unless you say otherwise.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/11/05 09:42 PM
DB - You know how dry PL's humor is, one can never tell when he's screwing around. His lack of emoticons can change the most innocent and amusing comment into the most insulting, obnoxious, caustic comment you can think of. So, I really doubt he meant anything negative or insulting by it.
I sure didn't read it like that.
Between PL and BD's abuse, I think DB needs a big group hug! {{{{{{{{{{ DB }}}}}}}}}}
And thanks to you and your brother again for including me in the Simmons tip for today!
j/k of course! You know we love you! :p

I haven't even been on much lately and rarely visit this thread but I was tipped off to this. All I have to say is ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?? What is it these days with everyone and their sensitivities ? Trust me - if I in anyway thought you were not playing by the rules my feelings on that would be clear. With all that is going on in my life - like I really care about the outcome of this game, sure I played to win but this game is purely for fun, no money like the other leagues I am in - this is just passing the time, having some fun and talking some smack. PL probably feels differently - he lives this chit .... :p
So to clarify and to make sure that everyone knows - in NO way do I feel you did anything wrong in the game - just busting your chops a bit. And unlike your MWA - I will continue to call you DoucheBag. However - as a good will offering I even removed my 'new' title.
Anyway you keep you this crap up I am not gonna let you buy me dinner when I am in Chicago. Actually a guy in my group was there last week - flew in the day before the snow storm. I could have went - it was my project but I didn't feel like being away from home for the weekend and he could get it done without me.
And regarding this group hug - leave it to Pork to suggest that. :p I will take a pass, I am afraid that huggin this group can lead to the potential for some serious diseases.
However regarding PL - you keep yelling at him, he might not play anymore. HA, I almost wrote that with a straight face - he is loaded up with baby wipes there is no way he is not playing fantasy sports.
As you were Peeps ....

Okay, so it may take another day or two.
I was watching my buddy Dick at the game. Figured, hey, not so bad! But still, 10 pts less than James... LeBron, too...! :p
McPenis is the one who focked me over!
JG- I see Mcinnis have like a 1 or 2 point game and I'm saying this is over, I'm gaining a HUGE lead on you.
Wade, 15 points...woo hoo BITCH-SLAVE!
although I was VERY happy with 25 from my "bad guy" which was 10 more than my "good guy"

Lebron would have had a better game if he didn't have
8 F'n turnovers.
and Smith beat Simmons bretty damn bad, I also believe smith costs a few cents less than Simmons.

A Gangster BB mystery
I think we can safely eliminate TM and SP. BB isn't even a member, as far as I know.
So that leaves the following possibilities:
1) The Wuss is full of it. No one tipped him off. He's been lurking, and didn't want to admit it.
2) JG or Bethie are full of it. One of them tipped The Wuss off.
3) DM did it. He has fine potential as an instigator, although I wonder if he knows The Wuss well enough.
4) Buffy did it.
5) Patrick did it. He likes to stir up controversy, and he
was the first to
sense tension".

Looks like I'm back to 4th place.
when in the world did it come about that Wade was injured?!?!
every f'n site said nothing about it until 20 minutes ago!

I figured he meant average sales but I'm not even going to bother with him. Football created it's own demand by having so few games, of course they are going to sell more tickets per game than baseball (usually).
His "Facts" that come from his opinion are baseless and I don't like debating someone's opinion.

Oh, GREAT! My turn!!!
(PL et al. as well)
NEWS: January 13
SKINNY: Bibby (sprained ankle), the team's only remaining natural point guard, is questionable for tonight's game against Utah, according to the Sacramento Bee.
JG- it did NOT say that for bibby yesterday.
No sites are updated with injuries until the day AFTER!
JG- I am now VERY happy with my team pick of Utah
The Kings could be very shorthanded against the suddenly-hot Jazz tonight if Bibby, Chris Webber, Cuttino Mobley and Michael Bradley are all unavailable for the game. If Bibby is unable to go, the starting five for the Kings will likely be Eddie House, Maurice Evans, Darius Songaila, Peja Stojakovic and Brad Miller, setting up perfectly for the Jazz to get their third-straight win over a quality opponent.
Source: Sacramento Bee
, I doubt c-webb will play but I would be EXTREMELY surprised to not see Bibby play.
bibby and Mcleod are tied at halftime :rolleyes:

I have a 42 point lead from today but that doesn't include Mcleod's 2 points lol so it's 44 +24 = 68

There's just soooo much to grab
**STRATEGY SPOILER** If I were you I'd spend less time thinking about my nuts and more time on the game :p

Anyway - don't spoil strategy! I didn't get this far from nothin'! :p You had a decent night (relatively, of course) and I had a shitty night. 'nuf said. Add a couple days to my comeback to 3rd! :p
I did have the highest score of the night between all of us (3rd time in the past 4 nights)
so you need to make up almost 70 points by the end of the week (to fulfill your guarantee) and I don't see that happening.

Yeah but Knight had 20 assists in the last game.
It comes down again to Arenas vs O'neal and Jackson vs Knight

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/14/05 07:53 PM
Hey PL – it seems that we have really hurt DB’s feelings. Although we have both offered apologies he still has not not posted recently. He must be the new man we hear of – all sensitive and stuff. I think he has been hanging with Buffy too long – she is turning him into a ‘chick’. Maybe he will start wearing her clothes soon – well he would have to get them back from Pork first. :p ba da bump. Anyway, I can see you getting your panties all in a twist over something like this – you being a metrosexual and all but DB ….. that kind of surprised me. Oh how we long for the days we would have DB drooling over the likes of Jessica Alba, the two Hawaiian chicks from AI and Blake's little sister?
Anyway with DBs absence now, I did get a PM from PL last night. Told me that he is lost without his MWA. Told me he was the last person he thought of before going to sleep and the first person he thought of when he awoke. That without him, something is missing in his life and that he is hurting
. We all know that PL needs a MWA in his life and without DB there now, we need to find a new one to cheer the old codger up. The obvious thought would be Pork, but he already has his own MWA in DMC – and vice versa. Although from some the posts between those two I believe DMC sees Pork as his MWA however it means Most Worthy Ass. Personally my vote would goto to Buffy for that one – however I digress.
So with Pork and DMC out of the running who is left. Well it can’t be me, the fact that I am not playing is one however I was once referred to as his honey from Phila., so that elminates me from being a MWA. Can’t be Pat – he is a thug – in need of a hug and you can't be a Thug and a MWA, takes away from his ‘thugness’. This guy Tony is not around and PL needs a MWA that does NOT take vacations. MC could be a worthy MWA for PL, however as noted above he too takes vacations AND believe it or not he sometimes does not make changes to rosters while on vacation – PL could not have that in his MWA. So really looking things through I think there is only one person left – the Crabster. She is on a lot, doesn’t take many vacations therefore I nominate Crabby to be PLs new MWA.

Plaw has made it clear I cannot participate in group hugs. My feelings were extremely hurt by this. I know when my pom poms are not wanted. I respectfully take my name out of the running. I guess he needs to teach Flopsie and Mopsie how to particapte in fantasy games.

Hey BD.....
I grateful that you are concerned about my need for A Most Worthy Adversary, and I appreciate your analysis in comparing the various candidates.
Unfortunately, a MWA must be exactly that -- A Most Worthy Adversary, and, as is quite apparent from your analysis, none of those who you mention are really up to the task.
As DB as consistently proven that he is the only participant in ESPN Salary Cap Baseball and Basketball who is able to offer me a challenge, I would just as soon keep him as my MWA.
His worthiness in that respect is proven on the scoreboard, as his recent four day winning streak in which he reduced my 100 point lead to a managable level can attest.
As far as his lack of posting is concerned, I believe that that is due to the inane and virtually unintelligible conversations that have been taking place in this thread the past several weeks between two of our members who shall remain nameless (JG and DM know who they are).
As you may have noticed, I too have been posting here far less frequently than I normally do, in large part due to the fact that it has become exceedingly difficult to wade through a page or two and 30-40 posts of drivel, looking for something worth responding to or commenting upon.

Group hugs, I believe, should be limited to members of the group.

As long as Knight doesn't get another 50 in the last quarter I think I'll hold onto 3rd
Suns were supposed to come close to the Bulls record, now they've lost 2 straight
31-6 is good but there is no way they are going 41-4 for the next 45 games

The idea is to score the most points possible, not to see how many points you can score while having a lineup with a lower FBA than everyone else.
If you even crack the top four in the second half, it will be considered a major upset.
If I were you, I'd stay away from sports and stick to politics. It's about time we started debating gay marriage again, anyway.

JG or Plaw... Do you guys remember coach's values this high last year? I don't ever remember being to the point where I have to pick the lowest coach value nearly everyday or playing the No Coach strategy so often...
Or maybe I'm just changing my style of play. I definitely played baseball differently from our first year to our second year - maybe it's the same for basketball.
And Plaw... maybe I should clam up!

Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/20/05 02:33 AM
I don't recall the coach values going beyond the low to mid sixes last year.
As far as strategy goes, I think the "no coach" strategy is more a question of realization than high cap values.
I just don't think it occured to any of us last year.

That's right... We did talk about that.
Yep, Buffy was the only one with the balls to do it. If I remember correctly, it actually worked out for her (since most picked the Yanks, who bombed).

You could've waited a little later today though, since I have a 2 hour delay because of the snow. :p

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/20/05 03:15 PM
Hmmmm... I think I like BB's lineup the best. I tried getting Francis and McGrady into the same lineup (figuring, much like all of you, that it will be a revenge game for both) and just couldn't find any combinations that I liked. Considering Simmons has been stinking it up, if Newble comes up with any sort of game, he could be in for a big gain - and he's got the possibility of an Orlando win as well.
Why didn't he share that tip with me??
:p
Since I know it's hard for plaw in the morning to think of the lines he can just copy and paste this for JG:
Gains nicely on DM

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/22/05 02:54 PM
I knew that.....that you weren't calling me "shrimpo" and saying "nice going" for picking him.
You can see who picked who if you want. You have an ESPN account, and you know our league name and password and everything.
And even though you're not playing, I'd much rather discuss pom-poms with you than penises with JG and DM.
Posted By: Beth E
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/22/05 03:00 PM
You don't mind discussing my pom poms, but I'm not allowed to have them near anyone in a group hug though.
I don't know if I have and ESPN account, and quite frankly don't want to spend the time to bother. It's not like I'd have anything intelligent to add to a conversation anyway.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/22/05 03:21 PM
Of course you have an ESPN account. It's the same one you had before, when you played basketball and baseball last year.
And
anything you contribute would be better than the "penis drivel" we're listening to these days. :rolleyes:
As far as the group hug goes, well, maybe I was wrong. From the looks of the picture of DB and Buffy at Wrigley Field, DB wouldn't mind your pom-poms in there.
Posted By: Beth E
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/22/05 03:27 PM
With all these games going on I forget what's ESPN and what's Yahoo. I don't even think I remember what my password is. And if you consider what I did in basketball playing ...well....
By the looks of the pics I think DB ws enoying Buffy's pom poms all to himself. Maybe he doesn't want any distractions.

I seem to remember you hanging around 3rd or 4th until you dropped out.
Which somewhat goes to prove my theory that these "salary cap" games can sometimes be nothing more than a mathematical exercise.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/22/05 04:44 PM
3rd or 4th? I think you failed to mention there were only like 6 people playing.
I got tired of having no opportunites to play with Zhi Zhi Wang. It's no fun not having any Feeleys, Bulgers, Johnsons or Hardens to play with.
Is it too early for a beer? Heck, I haven't even gotten out of my jammies yet. I might not all day.

Ah, you're too young (lucky you) to remember the great Bullets teams of the late 60's and early 70's, who used to battle the Knicks (when I was a misguided Knicks fan).
Kevin Loughery and Earl Monroe at guard, Jack Marin and Gus Johnson at forward, and Wes Unseld at center.

(only reason I asked is because I believe I've been at 100.0 for the past few days. therefore I figured that you would think I would be there again and by saying money left over would eliminate you from having my lineup.)

James gained 18 points, Ilgaus gained 11 and van exel gained 1.

well you lucked out since the Heat beat NO by like 175 so Shaq played about 42 seconds lol
Shaq got about 21 points...Nailon had 2 -I'm glad we all had him lol
21 +11 = 32 (which he has the possibility of doing)

JG....50 8601
plaw does JG's 50 include the 5 points for the win?
either way we have a new record - thank you webber

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/24/05 06:06 AM
JG- 11 for Ginobli, 3 for nailon, 7 okafor, and nothing great from C-webb
The scores are a little different though, I don't think I gained 21 on you I think I gained 18.
I don't like my lineup for tomorrow so rather than say anything I'm just going to find more pictures of Trish's ass.
p.s. if your sister-in-law Trish looks like my Trish then feel free to post pictures of her too :p :p

I like to leave something to the imagination.
If you ever saw Torrie Wilson's playboy spread you know what I mean. Everyone was going apeshit over her playboy spread and when I saw it I was just like ok. Her body was just sort of "there" and there was nothing great about it.
That WOULD NEVER happen with Trish but me likes what me likes

First time that I have clicked on the basketball thread and I can't read all these pages and pages (hmm, looks like we have PICTURES too?)so let's cut to the chase. You KNOW what I am gonna ask:
WHO'S WINNING? "One day lead" - does that mean had I looked earlier than today that DB would be in first?
Carry on. I am heading towards my own dry fantasy season soon. Must find something to amuse myself with.
LDV- DB has been in the lead for most of the season.
What are your views on the pictures??
Posted By: J Geoff
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/24/05 06:31 PM
LDV - Good to see you around for a change!
And please
don't read this thread -- at least anything posted by me or DMC!

There is a "lovepervs" thread. I think it was even mentioned that Geoff and his MWA - Most Worthy Ass - take their business there. And to think, my pom poms were given the boot and replaced with the Penis Twins. I guess we all know what side their bread is buttered.

Bethie is my biggest fan!
Ok, I was intrigued and my online Jeopardy game ended so I experimented with a 12" ruler. Crude, I know - but:
I'm 5'4" without heels and I measured from bare heel to hipbone and I come up with 31 1/2 inches. So I guess Trish's measurements compute.
Wow. The fun one can have with office supplies!!!

Every year for the past 6 or 7 years, I have played in anywhere from 2 to 3 football leagues and the past 4 years, I have played in at least one baseball league.
Due to having a life and time restraints, can't say I champion very much. I have in football, never in baseball.

How nice of you to stop by.
I don't know where to begin to respond to all the fun posts i missed today, so I'll just stick to the one above:
DB and I seldom have a daily difference of more than 15-20 points or so. Many, if not most, days it's less.
So I figure when one of us has a lead of 20-25 points, that's a "one day lead", meaning that the other will need at least one good day to catch up.
Don't be a stranger.

Jury duty? Ewwwww. My condolences.
I
always get called for jury duty. Luckily, I always seemed to get out of it.
Here are some of the ways I found that worked for me:
1) Be married to a cop. They HATE that! They think you will send everyone to the chair!!
2) Be married to a politician. They HATE that!! They think you will try to acquit everyone!!
3) Be 9 months pregnant. That seemed to work the BEST!!!

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/25/05 03:12 PM
When I lived in the city I used to get served all the time. I've been through the elimination process a couple times, but I can gladly say I've never served on a jury. I guess the frown I wear on my face when they call me let's them know I'm not amused, and that I will find the bastid guilty just for the fact that I'm pissed off about being there. That always worked for me.
Since I've lived in the county I've written them letters why I should be excused and I've never been called. Thank God! I think I would definately be someone who would be responsible for a hung jury. They're all guilty as far as I'm concerned.

What I SHOULD have told them is that I work on tort reform everyday. I didn't though. In my heart of hearts, I knew that it wouldn't affect my objectivity in this case. Too friggin' honest for my own good.
Still should have mentioned it though. Let the lawyers make their own decisions.

I think we've always said we're not two peas in a pod, which is why we get along so well. I'm more the synical type. I've lived around crime all my life. The less people on the street to mug or shoot me the better.
As far as death penalty...give me the needle. I'll insert it myself.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/25/05 03:32 PM
Um, Bethie. Do you remember who I am married to and the life I live? Noone has seen more crime than I!!!

uh oh. plaw is gonna correct me on that and you on
cynical But I believe killing in any way is wrong. Plain and simple. I am not a religious person or even claim to have high morals. Shoot, I'm even a Democrat!! But killing anything, anyone, is wrong in my book.
Now, crushing someone to a bloody pulp in a fantasy sports game is A-OK in my book!!
And yes, opposites often attract. We have always been able to engage in debates in a civil way. Ending debates over a Happy Hour is even MORE fun!!

Then about a week later we were talking about the chance that a "civil war" might break out since the country is so divided.

Guns don't kill people.
Idiots with guns kill people.
I own guns - I don't like them, but they are in my house and I am trained and certified on every one of them.
If I ever killed someone, it would be a crime of passion - in the moment. They would probably be bitten or kneed, kicked or gouged to death. A heavy object over the head would suffice quickly as well....
But since I don't believe in violence or killing, they would just end up in prison disfigured or unable to walk....I'd shoot someone in both legs if I felt I had to.

By the way - I know I said it was over for me, but just to set the record straight (from Bethie's post before) - I never called Plaw "pathetic". I called his one post pathetic.

Here's something to wrap our brain around:
With the introduction of DMC, how will this shake up our fantasy standings for baseball? As you can tell, DMC has my respect already with his strong 3rd place finish so far - unseating the usual 3rd place finisher, Pork.
Assume our usual players (Big Daddy, Buffy, Crabby, SC, etc) along with our basketball participants.

Wow.......
So many posts today I'd like to respond to.
I've been unbelieveably busy with work the past few weeks, and expect that I will be for the next few, so please excuse my absence from all of this daytime fun.
I just finished dinner and a few glasses of wine, and to even
attempt to try and and come up with my usual quotable quips would be an exercise in futility. I'll be content just to make it through the first half of the Nets-Sacramento tonight.
However.....
Since my MWA has returned, and I have long since forgiven him for calling me pathetic, and yes, since I am starved for some intelligent conversation here, I would be remiss if i did not respond to his recent query which was unquestionably an attempt on his part to turn the conversation away from penises and on to a loftier level.

First of all, I have to agree with JG.
It ain't over 'til it's over. A lot can happen in the next few weeks.
But that said, it's clear that DM takes his fantasy sports seriously.
Plus, he has the advantage of gaining salary cap game experience here in basketball which I'm sure will serve him well in baseball.
However, as we well know, there are certain little strategy tricks in basbeball which may take him a while to learn, and, if Buffy and the Wuss play, there will be a couple of other fairly skillfull players to contend with.
So here's my very early prediction prediction:
Fourth place in the first half, third place in the second half.
So here's my very early prediction prediction:
Fourth place in the first half, third place in the second half.
**I do really appreciate the fact that I've earned everyone's respect** (It sure as heck isn't for my spelling

Truth be told I don't expect to finish in the top 3. At this point top 5 would be around what I am looking for.
But you know I can't let someone like JG try and punk me out :p

If I wanted to refer to you as "pathetic", I would have just written "You're pathetic plaw!" or if some of our more gramatically challenged posters would write it, "Your pathetic plaw!"
"That's pathetic, plaw" and "See the quote above?

In any case, you're pathetic plaw!
"You're pathetic plaw!" or if some of our more gramatically challenged posters would write it, "Your pathetic plaw!"

But if I said "That's stupid Patrick", then I'd be referring to Patrick, not the post. [/b][/quote]What exactly is your point Plaw? I wrote, "That's pathetic, plaw" with the comma so by what you wrote above (and what I've been saying all along), I was referring to your post and NOT YOU.
Are you trying to make an argument that I was calling you pathetic (which I wasn't) just to belabor the point?

You might've made that up, but I know that I have said that before. Just for the record:
"If Tupac was alive today, I'd vote for him for President."
Actually, Plaw, I think you may have made an error. Shouldn't it be, "It Tupac were....?" And shouldn't it say, "I'd for for him as....?"

I believe that "were" should be used for the plural, and "was" for the singular, as in
If the boy "was" a basketball player
If the
boys "were" basketball players
As far as "as" president or "for" president goes, I'm not sure
But I know
I wouldn't vote for him for president or as president.
yikes, what a bad day today was

What are you majoring in, DMC?

Not that there's anything wrong with that! :p
I'm still undecided. I wanted to be an accountant but after taking some of the business classes I realized that it's not for me.
Then I was looking into political science but for the most part unless there is some kind of election going on the number of classes is pretty low- which means it would take me a while to graduate, but I can't handle a job that is "do everything" for about a year and then "do nothing" for the next 3.
I'm just getting all of my gen-ed out of the way right now then deciding what to do,
If not I can always be a spelling teacher

If not I can always be a spelling teacher Sounds like you got the right idea. I didn't decide on my major until my second year. Coming in, I always thought that I'd be a physics and math major, but decided in my second year that economics, statistics and math were the way to go. There are a lot of things poly-sci majors can do - although a good number go on into law school.

SHIT! I took a chance on LeBron (The Wuss) and it backfired.
How could I be the only one when he was a game-time decision?? :rolleyes:
It's still not "definite" yet but with him being sightly injured I don't think they are going to take a chance on him. They say game time decision but I've heard it is more doubtful than anything.
Nevermind
the only good thing for you is shaq had a bad day
5 on 4 and I'm lucky to have gained 2-3 points

And had LeBron played, I REALLY would've lucked out!
Had lebron played you'd have probably been with in about 20 of me, rather than 55

what the hell is standard deviation ? anyway, I'm the absolute champion of it
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 01/31/05 04:48 PM
TM - without getting into all the statistical mumbo-jumbo of the calculation, standard deviation is how much above and below your score ranges from your average. In your case, you generally score 118 points above or below your average of 574 per week.
With all your DNPs, your high ST.DEV. makes sense - one week, you may have played all 7 days while another week, you could have missed 3 of the 7 days.

Now what are the odds of that?
I thought this was just too stupid to pass up. I was reading espn the magazine and come across this :
"I used your Aug. 16 NFL Fantasy Preview while drafting my team (in fact, I copied your exact Top 100 list except for injured players at the time of he draft) and went on to win the League Championship. thanks for the help. I'm already looking forward to next season's fantasy preview."- David Hollingsworth Provo Utah.
This literally had me speechless for a few minutes.
In other words, you didn't win David, ESPN won. It's a focking game, play it yourself!

**Cough** Jermaine O'Neal also has the flu. **Cough**
It must be going around. In any case, since both Penis Twins have him, it doesn't much matter.
Well, it doesn't matter only if they've given up on aspirations of finishing in the top 2.
as long as we both have him then it doesn't matter :p

-All scores will be posted by Plaw by no later than 7:00 AM. Posting scores later than 7:00 AM more than one time a week will result in Plaw's banishment from the BB. He will be sent to the Gulags.
-Everyone must call me 'Sir' or 'Mr. Pastro' when ending a post.
-All hot women (i.e. Beth, LDV
) will flirt with Pastro and Pastro only. Plaw, DMC, and DB all get JG.
-When Pastro is in need of assistance, he will look for the most available person for help. Failure to help Pastro or resolve his goal, whether is be school, fantasy strategies, etc., will result in your sentence to the Gulags.
-Any attempts to overthrow Pastro will result in a mooning from JG (
).
-Bow down to Pastro.
Sincerely,
Pastro
that would have been funny to see.....but

Back to Pasty's comments (Plaw would be proud of me for trying to stop another round of penis posts...)
I'm actually glad the kid is showing some life. If he plays everyday and if BB doesn't have any DNP hiccups, we could have a strong competition in the 2nd half.
I think Plaw likes the penis posts :p
I think if ANYONE doesn't miss any days they would stand a chance.

Will come down to the last day, I think. JG working hard on keeping his usual 3rd place spot. DMC trying to earn a respect slot.
6th Place - I don't know how much attention Pasty is paying in this race. Keeping his eyes on the prize for the 2nd half. Better keep his eyes on SP though.

Was I lucky that Korver scored only 5 when Nailon scored only 2?
Or was I unlucky that Nailon scored only 2 when Korver scored only 5?
Were you lucky that Nailon scored only 2 when Korver scored only 5?
Or were you unlucky that Korver scored only 5 when Nailon scored only 2?
I figure I was lucky. My guy got the 2. It could have been much worse.

I figure I'm lucky. My guy scored only 5 - it could have been much worse.
Seriously though, I'm a pessimist by nature so I
really do feel lucky. I figure with my guy only scoring 5, I figured you to take advantage of it - as you usually do. So I was lucky that your guy didn't do well either.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/03/05 03:23 PM
I always find it interesting the types of concessions everyone makes - the must have guys vs. the none must have guys.
As I was doing my lineup last night, I concluded that today was going to be a very important day to determine final placement.
I was actually thinking about picking 4 superstars and a superscrub but I couldn't find a way to make that lineup work to my liking. You guys try the same thing?

I DID!
But I honestly wasn't that worried when I saw I couldn't, I have a 100 point lead so there is some room for messing up.
but then again I was going through my lineup for yesterday trying to decide between Mo-Pete and Nailon, that took me about 30-45 minutes.....then they both get 2 points lol

To be honest, I don't remember what I was trying to do
. This whole game is starting to become a blur.
But I've found the four superstar and one complete scrub strategy to be risky. If one of the supes has an off-night, you're looking at a 75 point day.
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/03/05 04:42 PM
With the choices last night, I was close to taking that risk. I couldn't find a superscrub that I was willing to take though.
PL ended up with 2 superstars and 3 decent players, with no coach possibility.
I ended up with 2 superstars, 2 decent players, and 1 semi-scrub, with a coach possibility.
DMC takes the PL route - 2 supes, 3 decent, no coach
JG has 3 supes, 1 decent, 1 scrub, no coach
BB has 3 supes, 1 decent, 1 scrub w/ coach
(JG vs BB depends on who has a scrubbier scrub!)
PP has 2 supes, 2 decent, 1 scrub w/ coach
SP has 1 supe, 3 decent, 1 semiscrub, no coach
TM... well, he had a good vacation! :p
Tonight will be telling...

I don't spend more than 5 minutes doing my lineup!
The only problem I have with JG's lineup is that he has 3 supes but I really don't feel he "Gained" anything on me.
Wade/James same
C.Butler/Gooden to me seems better than R.Butler/Duncan just for the fact that R.Butler is not guaranteed to get that much time.
Kaman/Mihm seems even to me.

Hmmm...
Looking at C. Butler/Gooden/Kaman vs. R. Butler/Duncan/Mimh, I agree with DMC that Kaman vs. Mimh is a wash - they're arguably the same player - primary or secondary low post player on their team.
This matchup will hinge if Duncan can overcome R. Butler's shortcomings. I would argue that DMC's advantage in the SF position is lessened because of the defensive matchups.
Hmmmm... I wonder if I'm bordering on sharing strategy...

yeah that is definitly a concern for me as well.
If for some reason Duncan has a bad game then JG would REALLY be screwed.

As plaw likes to say, "Difficult, not impossible."
JG - care to share when you're going "unpredictable"?

I realize it's "not over" but I also realize that I don't need to worry about "beating him" i.e. 20/25 points.
At this point as long as I tie him or beat him by 2-3 points or keep my losing days within 5 points to where the lead stays around the same but the days are going down then I feel I'm in good shape.
Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/03/05 05:17 PM
Fortunately for JG, the 6.5 point per day average that he needs to make up is small enough that he can make that up in an Ex-Lax day. If he needed to make up 15 or 20 points per day, then an Ex-Lax day would kill him.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/03/05 05:25 PM
Plaw could probably give you more details on protecting a lead (since he's had to do it more than I have
) but I remember from baseball where Plaw, at distinctly separate points, would have a 100 point lead near the end of the season. It's extremely difficult to catch up with the time winding down - especially if you have to go with unpredictable picks (just so you wouldn't have the same lineup). At certain points, I would knock his lead down to 20 to 30 points, but then one of my unpredictable picks would be way off and that day, he'll double his lead back to 40 to 60.
Plaw protects his leads very well - hence his success in these games.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/03/05 08:32 PM
Funny you should mention that.....
Based on how close we always seem to be, I think it's safe to say that DB and I look at these games in pretty much the same way.
After picking last night's team, I was almost certain that it would be the same as DB's, with the exception of the Korver-Nailon matchup.
I was pretty sure that DB was gonna take Korver, though, and I was pretty close to taking him too.
But with only a 15 point lead, I figured it was too early to start playing defense.
Understand that I didn't pick Dickau, Carter, Garnett, and Miller because I thought DB would. But after I picked them, I realized that DB would probably pick them as well.
But as far as Korver-Nailon goes, I honestly felt that Nailon was the better pick.
Now, all of that said, I should have taken Korver if that's who I thought DB would take.
See, here's the thing, (and I know DB will agree with me):
No matter how small the lead, and no matter how long there is to go, every time you pick the same player as the person who's chasing you, you decrease that person's chances of catching you.
So with 16 days to go, and 96 picks left to be made, DB had 96 opportunities to make up points on me.
If I had, say, a 100 point lead, removing one opportunity from DB by picking Korver would not have been too significant.
But with only a 15 point lead, I should be playing as much defense as I can.
Now, all of that said, there are other factors to consider:
1) Does DB have to worry that if he gets too unpredictable in trying to catch me and he bombs, does he have to worry about the guy in third place catching him?
Answer: In this case, no.
2) How interested is DB in not getting too unpredictable, possibly bombing, and losing points in the race for the overall season total points championship, which, despite the fact that ESPN breaks this up into separate segments, I consider more meaningful.
Answer: That, I believe, will be for me to figure out from his picks.

You know, all the strategy talk has suddenly made me very aware of the importance of each pick from here on out.
Unlike Plaw, I'm more of a fan of champions for each segment. That's how the game is laid out, that's how the game is won on ESPN.
Actually, I wanted to throw this out. It might be a little premature (DM can relate to that :p ), but I wanted to get your thoughts on continuing this game into the playoff season. The playoffs last year were BRUTAL, as I'm sure JG and PL can attest to. What I wanted to throw out was, do you guys think we should play? I'm leaning very heavily towards not playing the playoff segment. Three weeks - all Exlax, all the time. Ugggggh.

Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/03/05 10:55 PM
The fact that the playoffs offer fewer and more limited choices in player selection makes the game more difficult, and, therefore, more skillful in my opinion.
I figure that the more choices there are, the more luck becomes a factor. Not to say that under any circumstances that these games aren't still mostly skill, of course.
But in the playoffs, the few picks that we each make that are different from one another make each pick that much more important.
I understand, DB, that you are naturally still smarting over last year's last-day-drop-from-second-to third-place.......
:p

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/03/05 11:07 PM

Well.....
Long before I started playing these games, I always felt that the minor leagues in baseball who split their season and had a first half winner and a second half winner were just doing it to give the also-rans a fresh start and generate fan interest.
I think ESPN does the same thing. A "New Game" attracts new players, and gives the old players who did poorly fresh hope.
But a season is a season to me, and the real champion is whoever finishes first in total points.
Suppose we have a finish like this:
First Half:
PL...10,000
DB....9,900
JG....9,500
Second Half:
JG....8,000
DB....7,800
PL....7,600
So I win the first half, JG wins the second half, and DB, who had more points than anyone for the season, wins nothing.
Seems kinda unfair to me.

I'm not disagreeing with you. It does seem kind of unfair. But life ain't always fair, you know!
I'm actually totally fine with having 3 awards given out - First Half, Second Half, and Overall (whether this still includes playoffs is still to be determined
).
My only issue is that people might do things (e.g. going unpredictable) at the end of either half (as we've seen in both baseball and basketball) that might be seen as "anti-intuitive" to the long-term goal of winning the overall.
These two things conflict, I think.

That was what you call a "trial baloon".
Or, as they say in the ad biz, "Let's run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it".
DB was looking for support from JG or myself to not extend this game through the playoffs.
But JG, with his obsession on "Uber Points" (whatever they are), and myself, with my anal insanity and desire to put yet another fantasy notch in my belt, would have none of it.
And I know our Rookie Of The Year candidate DM won't pass up a chance to get into another game on the ground floor.
So, DB, my MWA, I'm sorry to say that it looks like we'll be playing through the playoffs.
My prediction: DB will play. No wuss is he.

The funny thing is, at the half Duncan had 8 and Bowen had 6.
You caught a break with Kamen, though. He had all his points and five personals late in the 3rd, and sat the rest of the game.
Tries unpredictability with no KG
maybe it's just me but I don't see what JG is gaining by going without KG.
i.e. it's not like he can say he's not taking KG but he's getting a Lebron James instead
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/04/05 06:16 PM
He's gaining an additional opportunity to gain points on you.
There are 14 days left.
Six picks each day = 84 picks, total.
Every pick he makes that's the same as yours is one less opportunity that he has to gain points on you.
It's not (I think) that he thinks that whoever he picked instead of Garnett will do better than Garnett. It's that since he's behind by 98 points, he feels that he has to make as many picks as possible that will be different from yours to maximize his chances of catching you.
Think of it this way:
If he picked four of the same players as you every day, he'd only have 28 opportunities to make up the 98 points.
If he picks all different players than you every day, he has 84 opportunities to make up the 98 points.
Which way is he better off if he's trying to catch you?
The problem, of course, is that as he goes "unpredictable", and picks a guy who normally will not outscore KG, he's relying a lot more on luck.
But at this point, trying to get lucky may be the only chance he has.
Um......didn't we make all of this clear yesterday? Or weren't you paying attention?

yes it was discussed yesterday but I thought that if he was going to just "have different picks" that he would try and GAIN something in another category. Different picks with the "same level of players" won't allow him to chip away that much at me.

First of all, given the difference in our scores, I think I could afford to miss several days without worrying about you beating me.
:p
But, just so you know, I almost always pick my team in the morning at the same time I post the scores, so if you see the scores there, you can assume my team is picked also.
Also, every week I print out all the players and their cap values. I have two friends who I have "walked through" the process of picking a team, so if my computer goes down
and I have no access to a public computer, I can figure out my team on paper, and then call a friend who will go to the site and enter my selections for me.
Now, I've publicly stated what I will do if

well excuse me for trying to add a little something to the story :p
I was just trying to get the point across that you would get your team in no matter what.
you might have picked a "coach" but I don't see them winning
On to your team
McGrady vs Iverson Wash
Odom vs Simmons Odom
Garnett vs Brand Wash
Jaric/Rebreca/Dal vs Ming/Tor Jaric/Rebreca/Dal
3 games at 1:00 and then 1 at 3:30 we don't have to wait long to see how it turned out
It is 11:45 right now and Iverson's status just changed to Questionable

He's 7/15 for 17 pts, 5 ast, and they're only in the 3rd quarter.

with 5 turnovers and only 9 fantasy points
JG needs about 25/30 from each of his guys since he only has 4
edit: I am up about 20/25 with 2 guys left for JG and 1 left for me. So I wouldn't call it "backfiring" since it looks like we will be tied. If you would have lost 20-30 points that would have been backfiring.

AI isn't playing, so that hurts me in fantasy, but the Sixers are winning, and that attracts Plaw's attention which can make him malfunction.

plaw I am rooting for him but I am not happy since I had him and then traded him for Walton
edit: plaw you can't get high score. Arenas had a higher score than Kidd and I would have been able to fit Ariza in so there would be higher scores out there.

I just find it funny that the past 2 days where I just came on and just picked players (I was looking at them but not REALLY putting time into it) and I gain about 60 points. Then last night I have all of my work done and take the time to pick a team and I lose points.
Its 175 point lead. which means 29 points a night :p

But don't worry - your lead is safe. :p

starts game 3 minutes later 2 missed shots, 2 made freethrows 2 fouls
second quarter a few minutes 1 assist, 2 missed shots another foul
3rd quarter I think he got his 4th foul in the locker room.
4th quarter he had 4 points, 2 fouls and 1 miss I believe.
he fouled out with about 5 minutes to go in the 4th

Of course I had to check my fantasy sports, I mean Prince could have had an 80 point night Okur could have had a 50 point night and Kirilenko and Haywood could have slipped and fallen before the game and you'd have been right back in it :p

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/15/05 06:05 PM
I guess the cat is out of the bag regarding the "pick your Tuesday team between 3:00-5:00 AM Monday morning and beat the 5:00-5:30 AM Monday morning rise in cap values".
I figured it out by watching the Leaderboard.
One Tuesday, one of the leaders had exactly the team I wanted, but that I couldn't fit under the cap.
I noticed that he had players for less than their current value, and I thought at first that he had them "locked in" at the lower value from the previous day.
Until I realized that a few of them hadn't even played the previous day.
It took me -- no exaggeration -- all week trying to figure it out, and I couldn't.
But, like two weeks later, I happened to be up at around 3:30 on a Monday morning, and, with nothing to do, decided to pick my Tuesday team.
I always knew you could pick your team for the following day as soon as the rosters locked at 3:00 AM, but I
still didn't put 2 and 2 together.
But when I went to do
Wednesday's team, I saw that I had all of my Tuesday players locked in for less than their current values, and I realized how the guys on the leaderboard did it.
thanks plaw- I didn't know that. :p

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/15/05 06:57 PM
Yeah, thanks, Plaw -- DMC didn't know that. :rolleyes:
Looks like it'll be groggy Mondays from here on out for some of us! :p
I was hoping for a different reaction. I knew about it- just didn't feel like staying up to do it.
JG you might want to take up that method though, it may help you.
Another method that might help is the "STOP SUCKING METHOD" the "sucking method" you are using now is pretty outdated :p

Is it bad? Or they were just not used to eating deep dish at 7 am?

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/16/05 04:32 AM
Just thought I'd mention this.......
The only reason I posted a whole explanation about how I discovered the Monday-Tuesday thing is because I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that since as far as I know I was the first one to use it, that one or more of you guys noticed and tried to figure out how I did it.
So I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that you might be interested in knowing how I figured it out.
Also, BTW, as much as I am dying to finish a season, or at least a week, on the Leaderboard, and hate to give away even the slight edge that this provides, knowing that not all of us are willing or able to be awake at 3 AM, I suggest a rule for our league (baseball, too) that everyone must wait until the cap values go up before picking their Tuesday team.
I'd rather compete against you guys on a level playing field than beat a bunch of people I don't know.
I'd agree to that rule. It looks like JG is ready to move within 175 of me
Seriously, I think it's only fair that everyone wait for the values to be updated.
I just have 2 questions:
1) what if someone doesn't
2) what if for some reason the only time a person can pick his team is at a time the values haven't updated

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/16/05 05:03 PM
Peaking my head out of my stacks of work in my office...
I only did the whole 3 AM team change thing this week just to see if it actually works.
I will NOT be using this strategy next half or in baseball. Losing sleep over a game is just not worth it.
As for DMC's questions...
Seriously, I think it's only fair that everyone wait for the values to be updated.
I just have 2 questions:
1) what if someone doesn't
I personally don't mind if anyone uses this strategy. I would prefer that everyone wait for the values to be updated (i.e. Plaw's level-field reasoning), but who am I to tell someone to not use an available strategy.
2) what if for some reason the only time a person can pick his team is at a time the values haven't updated
Same answer to #1. If he chooses to use the strategy or can only use this strategy as DMC suggests, then all the power to him. I don't think any of us is in that position however.
On a separate note...
What's up Buffster!
You can be sure that I'll be watching the Amazing Race. Gotta watch Ambuh!!!

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/16/05 05:16 PM
Careful with the pics -- Pat may get a "

As far as the "strategy" goes - I say all or nothing... fair game, or no game... cuz who knows when a dozen points may determine one place over another.
But yeah - policing it would be a burden....
But then again - who's to say one of us (not me, but theoretically
) won't be in strong contention for the Leaderboard where THEY use that strategy??
I say "so be it" - no one has to lose
that much sleep if they can set their alarm and do their roster in the "5 minutes" ( :p ) they claim to take. :p
But then again - whatever the group decides...
I guess JG should be allowed to use it, it IS the only way he stands a chance of competing with me :p :p

As Don Barzini said:
"Look -- we are all reasonable men here; we don't have to give assurances as if we were lawyers..."
I'm sure a gentlemen's agreement among us will suffice. If someone chooses to violate the agreement, so be it.
I'm sure it will be noticed, and that person will be taken to task and exposed as the lying, treacherous, and dishonorable individual that they are.
As far as the Leaderboard problem goes, I'm willing to forgo my chances in the interest of the peace we've made here today.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/19/05 01:22 AM
Until someone proves otherwise, I fear only one man......
My MWA, DB.
DM? Did well this time. Lemme see him do it again.
JG? Has yet to beat me in any segement of salary cap baseball, basketball, or football. I'm not worried.
BB? Showed flashes. But still finished waaaay behind.
SP? TM? Look me up when they play a whole season wihout any DNPs.
PP? Don't make me laugh.
We ranked 329th in PAA
To put the PAT vs Plaw matchup into perspective
Plaw would have had to not played weeks 14,15 and 16 for Pat to have beaten him.
I know Pat missed some days but there is no way he missed 18
edit: of FULLY MISSED DAYS He had 2, he had a few 20's and 30's scores but I believe he had some of those on days he played so maybe 4-5 missed days.
Also in terms of "weekly finishes" in 16 weeks, the highest he got was 5th place- 3 times.
To sum up- Pat, if I were you, I wouldn't be trash talking

Second Half Odds & Predictions
PL
1st Half Odds 2-1
1st Half Predicted Finish: 1st
1st Half Actual Finish: 1st
Chased DB for most of the first half of the first half, then moved into first only to see DB regain the lead for six days in mid-January. But PL went back into first on January 21st, and held on the rest of the way. Has now won six of the last eight salary cap games in Baseball, Basketball, and Football, finishing second in the other two. Has to be considered a heavy favorite to win again, but his only two losses came in "second halves" of seasons (2003 Baseball, 2003-04 Basketball), and there seems to be someone else in the league now with the potential to contend (DM), plus a new player who is a totally unknown quantity (JL). So let's just say he's not as "heavy" a favorite as he was in the first half.
Predicted Finish: 1st
Odds: 11-5
DB
1st Half Odds: 5-2
1st Half Predicted Finish: 2nd
1st Half Actual Finish: 2nd
Jumped out to any early 100+ point lead, but couldn't hold on. May have made a key strategy mistake by going unpredictable when trailing PL by only 40 points with six days left. Still, he's the only player to have beaten PL in Salary Cap Baseball or Basketball, both his wins came in "second halves", and here we are getting ready for another second half. And with second place finishes to his credit in the game just completed, as well as both halves of 2004 Baseball and the first half of 2003-2004 Basketball, he has to be considered the favorite to finish second once again. The thing is, though, like PL he's facing increasing competition from DM, so his odd probably need to go up a bit.
Predicted Finish: 2nd
Odds: 13-5
DM
1st Half Odds: 7-1
1st Half Predicted Finish: 5th
1st Half Actual Finish: 3rd
Came out swinging from day one and even flirted with the lead for a few days. Settled comfortably into 3rd, and put JG away in the closing weeks. Demonstrated the main attribute for playing a daily salary cap game: The ability to not miss any days, and seemed to pick up on some of the finer strategy nuances as well. The "Big Three" is now a "Big Four", with only one question remaining: Is DM ready to take his game to the next level and contend with the "Big Two"?
Predicted Finish: 3rd
Odds: 9-2
JG
1st Half Odds: 6-1
1st Half Predicted Finish: 4th
1st Half Actual Finish: 4th
Has a MWA of his own now, jeopardizing his perennial third place finishes. After spending weeks chasing DM for third, he actually passed him for one day and then totally collapsed. Still must be regarded with respect, though, since he plays every day, but there might be more pressure on him from those below than he can exert on those above.
Predicted Finish: 4th
Odds: 5-1
BB
1st Half Odds: 10-1
1st Half Predicted Finish: 6th
1st half Actual Finish: 5th
Missed a few days early and never recovered. But, throw out just the first two weeks and over the last 14 weeks, he outscored JG by 17 points, so he has to be considered a threat for at least 4th place, and possibly 3rd. That assumes, of course, that he plays the second half. This game had to be more boring for him than anyone in history, being mired in 5th for virtually the entire season, with no chance at 4th, and no one threatening him from below.
Predicted Finish: 5th
Odds: 6-1
SP
1st Half Odds: 4-1
1st Half Predicted Finish: 3rd
1st Half Actual Finish: 6th
Big first half disappointment. After vowing to beat JG, he missed days early and spent a good part of the season in the basement. But he rallied nicely in the closing weeks, made up almost 800 points on PP, and finished a solid 6th. Has potential, although he misses injuries and has to prove that he can go a whole season without DNPs. Until he does, it's hard to regard him as a serious contender.
Predicted Finish: 6th
Odds: 20-1
JL
1st Half Odds: Didn't play first half
1st Half Predicted Finish: N/A
1st Half Actual Finish: N/A
Just Lou. Have to put him somewhere. Figuring that PP has no clue, and TM will miss his usual number of days, 7th place seems about right. But who knows? Strictly a guessing game trying to predict his finish.
Predicted Finish: 7th
Odds: 35-1
PP
1st Half Odds: 20-1
1st Half Predicted Finish: 7th
1st Half Actual Finish: 7th
Is he kidding, or what? Still hasn't figured out the strategy (No, Pat, the idea of the game is not to see how many points you can score above your FBA), and misses days besides. Shows absolutely no potential whatsoever, and should probably stick to debating Don Cardi, who is PP's MWA. At least there he has a chance. The only reason PP is not being picked for the basement is that TM always misses a lot of days.
Predicted Finish: 8th
Odds: 50-1
TM
1st Half Odds: 50-1
1st Half Predicted Finish: 8th
1st Half Actual Finish: 8th
Difficult to figure because of all those DNPs. Potentially, I'd guess he's as good or better a player as SP and PP, and perhaps even BB and JG. So if he plays every day, who knows? He could finish as high as 4th. But until he shows that he can play every day, it's impossible to pick him for anywhere but the basement.
Predicted Finish: 9th
Odds: 75-1
Thank you for the kind words Plaw
I think the 2nd half is going to be VERY interesting
Wade- SG

From The Department of Useless Statistics:

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/20/05 05:35 PM
From The Department Of Useless StatisticsI was interested in seeing how TM would have done had he not missed 30 days (out of 106).
The best way I could figure out to estimate it was by throwing out
everyone's scores (including TM's) on the days he missed.
The results were interesting.....
PL 8439
DM 8277
JG 8240
DB 8195
BB 7900
TM 7831
SP 7342
PP 6836
The "scrambling" of positions 2-4 means nothing, because we simply removed 30 "random" days from the totals. Who knows what we would have come up with if we removed every Tuesday and Friday or something, for example.
All that matters for the purposes of this study is that TM did not outscore any of the top four on the days when we all played.
But what is significant, I think, is that TM thoroughly outplayed SP and BB, and finished only 69 points behind BB for 5th place.
Also, if you look at the chart in the post above this one, you will see that TM finished with the worst score in our group on 31 days.
But, he had 30 DNPs, and finished with the worst score in the group on 28 of them, which means that he only had the worst score 3 times out of the 76 days he did play, a record which was bettered only by DB, DM, and JG.
Of course, for this to be totally accurate, I'd have to add in points for the days that PP, SP, and BB missed, since they probably (at least SP and PP did) missed some of their days on days when TM didn't miss any of his (Altho there were some days where more TM and SP or PP had DNPs).
I guess what I should do is tally up the scores on only the days when
everyone played.
Check that.....For the top 4 it wouldn't matter, since none of us missed any days.
But for the bottom 4, it
would be interesting to know who had the highest total score on days when they all played.

these stats are getting more useful by the day! I had a BIG curiosity to do something like that (figuring a way to know how I would go if I didn't miss so many days), but I never thought of a way of doing it.
the best way for us to see it is gonna be the second half (when I won't miss ANY days).

Second, welcome to the beginners. Good luck and hope you have a fun time. One piece of strategy that I can give you is to play everyday. That alone will get you 80% of the way to being competitive.
Third - thanks for the stats plaw. Very interesting, indeed.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 02/22/05 06:07 PM
Let me add DE NIRO to the predictions:
DN
1st Half Odds: Didn't play 1st half
1st Half Predicted Finish: N/A
1st Half Actual Finish: N/A
What can a Brit know about the NBA? Probably not as much as Turi knows about the NFL. I do have a feeling, though, that we'll be reading many interesting and on-point posts from DN in the coming weeks, even if he has no idea about the rules of grammar, punctuation, or spelling. As far as his game performance goes, I'm not expecting much. TM and SP seemed filled with a new resolve to not miss any days, so I'm afraid that I have to predict that DN will become the new cellar dweller.
Predicted Finish: Last
Odds: 150-1

Well my lineup for tomorrow:
I switched it up this time, I decided to take a Center, small foward, power forward, coach, shooting guard
AND a point guard. Figured it might help to try something new :p
edit: I wouldn't call it GREAT, but I think it's enough to take over 4th.

Nelson is the guy I had to look up.
I wanted Bryant but I figure Wade is only a few points down from him, Dickau/Nelson I think is even, Przy/Przy is almost even :p

Lemme help you out a bit here, DN (I'm getting soft in my old age, I guess
:rolleyes: ).
HERE\'S A LINK to a site that gives NBA injury reports.
I don't think any of the guys competing for first place will mind my giving it to you, since they all have this one (or another) already.
If anyone else doesn't have it, well, consider it my gift to you even though it's not my daughter's wedding day.
As I say, I'm getting soft these days.

actually you need 62 points as of right now to take over 4th.
That means Simmons full game plus Stoudemire's 2nd half needs to be 62 more points than Mcgrady's 2nd half

You have 100, I have 78. You lead for the day by 22.
If Toronto had won, I'd have 83 and you'd have 95. You'd lead for the day by 12.
Ten point swing.

Tell me about it.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 03/13/05 01:02 PM
Well.....
The first day you missed you got 50 points from players left over from the day before. The rest of us (excluding DeNiro) averaged 102 that day, so let's give you 52 more points for that day.
The second day you missed you had 27 points from your "leftovers" on a day that the rest of us (again, excluding DeNiro) averaged 103. So let's give you 76 more points for that day.
So, 128 points added to your 1666 would give you 1794.
That would put you 1 point ahead of DM for 4th place, and leave you only 99 points out of first.
You are also tied with me for the most daily first place finishes (4), and are tied with me, JG, and DM for most daily top three finishes (8).
As has been said many times here, the biggest single factor which contributes to success in this game is not missing any days.

It took me a while to get used to having to set the roster the night before. The league I was in last year allowed you to set the roster right up to tip-off of the first game of the day.

Varejao is back in uniform again after missing the past six weeks with a high sprain of his left ankle, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Varejao is second in the NBA in offensive rebounds per 48 minutes -- 7.2 -- and sixth in the league in rebounds per 48 minutes.
Another DB "Discovery"
He's played two games since his return.
18.5 minutes, 9 Fantasy Pts per game.

And, team names rather than first names... like before...

I'll regain my rightful spot in 3rd soon enough

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 03/16/05 06:35 AM
That's pretty cool.
What's
awesome is the 43 points separating 2nd thru 5th, and Spike's move since Week 1.
Throw out the first week, and he's in first by about 50 points

What do you do, DMC - sit there and Refresh every 10 seconds waiting for a replyl? :p
What you quoted was there for maybe half a minute at the most!
Anyway - if I do drop to 3rd, it'll be cuz of Douchebag, not you. :p

I don't leave my teams unattended when I go on vacation.
And besides if JG doesn't fix my team properly, I know where he lives and will hunt him down. There isn't a jury in the world who would convict me when the person didn't properly put in my ESPN Fantasy Basketball Team

No, I don't have a problem with it. I just wasn't understanding the back-and-forth between the two of you (not the first time

It's a lot better than doing by hotel computer-on-TVs. Those things are a pain in the butt.

I'm proud of you, kid. That's the way to play.
My girlfriend can't understand, no matter how many damn times I explain it to her, "What the big deal is if you miss a day?"
In two years, encompassing two full baseball seasons, one and a half plus basketball seasons, and nearly two months of basketball playoffs (more than 700 days), DB, JG, and myself have missed a total of one day each.
Well I'm off, I'll be back Saturday afternoon.

Okay, Plaw, here are some comments.
On the bright side:-- I'm the only one left (knock-on-woody!) who hasn't placed Last in a day this half. :p
-- I placed First as often as DB & SP combined. (I know, quality over quantity, right?) :p
-- "As close to 8th as to 1st", sure - but only 24 pts from 2nd. :p
-- There's still a lot of time left; even you aren't safe yet!

plaw if you ever get a chance I would be interested in knowing the largest margins of victory between 1st and 2nd place for a day.
i.e. you were first with 149 DB was second with 85
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 03/24/05 08:42 AM
Hmmm....
I don't really have the data assembled that way.
The only way I could do it would be by looking at the daily scores that get posted here every day with the standings, so if you ever get a chance and you're really interested, please feel free to figure it out yourself
.
Seriously, though, I think it would take an unusual combination of circumstances to create a really large differential.
Whoever "wins" the day usually has one or two of the day's popular high scorers (Kobe, LeBron, Shaq, KG, etc.), and since whoever finished second for the day generally would have the same one or two guys.

Well you are only behind JG by 6 points per day, I wouldn't say you are out of it (for 1st yes) but maybe 3rd/4th is still an option. If there was like 10 days left then yeah you'd be out of it lol

BTW, your last statement qualifies as a "whine", and it's customary to bracket all whines as follows:

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 03/26/05 10:29 PM
No, but I was watching on TV
And torn....rooting against KG 'cuz we all had him and I wanted Minny to lose, so he didn't matter.
But rooting against Carter, while rooting for a much-needed Nets win.
Well, I got one out of two, anyway.
Which do you think I thought was the more imortant one to get?

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 03/27/05 02:26 AM
I would
hope that you you'd root for the Nets, even if Carter had a quadruple-triple-double and scored 70 pts!
But knowing
you, you'd rather get 5 extra points in fantasy more than having your team win... :p

Your average of 110, and total of 220 for the week is better than
all of us.
And your "reality" can still be fourth place, if you'd stop picking guys who are injured.
I still say you have the potential to beat out the sausage link.

The playoff game is different. With fewer games each day, everyone tends to pick the same players, so there's a lot more skill involved in figuring out that one cheap "sleeper" who can make the difference.
Also, a 10-20 point lead is mammouth, especially at the end, so in a way it's more interesting.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/04/05 07:32 AM
No......
I figure DB and I are always gonna be 1-2.
So finishing lower than 3rd for anyone else is a failure.
The race for 3rd (and 2nd, for that matter) is still wide open, and while I think that DM has the best chance - he does have the lead, after all - you are certainly not out of it.
I wouldn't count BB out yet, either.
PP and SP? Well, I just don't have any confidence in either of them.

N!!!!!
I just got home. I was not behind the coaches I was behind the reporters table. If you watch the game on msg right now when people are taking free throws on the right side of the court you will see us behind the blue thing in the middle. We are on the end of the 3rd row (left end) my fiance is on the end in a grey shirt I am next to her in a green shirt.
I must also add how great everything else was. Our seats were "courtside club" so we got to go through a special entrance, and whatever food we wanted, our order was taken out our seats and delivered to us. It was awesome!

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/09/05 04:49 AM
So, when the Bulls are throwing free-throws (the first half), I look at "the blue thing" (the basket), to the left, near the bottom. The striped green shirt w/ hat? It's hard for me to focus cuz it goes by too quickly (you know where to look, I barely do! :p
)

Of course they hardly show the head-on view of the right side during free throws since I started looking! :rolleyes:

Plaw, the link on the front page doesn't take entries anymore. Is there a separate page where I log in for the second half?
I didn't know I was ever out of the race for 3rd :p

First you have to create an account (The link is just to the right of where you sign in.
Then, I think you create your team, and
then join a group.
I forgot the exact order, but I was just now able to create a new account and enter a team (which I then removed) in our league.

Okay, it's done... I picked a bunch of random players because there was some ratings issue that I REALLY need to read more about. So I just moved stuff around until it was okay, and I'm still not sure if it's right. Anyway, good thing you mentioned doing this for practice, or else I'd be this much of a mess during playoffs!

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/13/05 04:07 PM
From the page that has your current roster, there's a bunch of stuff underneath called "Tools & Settings", from which there is a link for "Change Game Settings".
The key things in this game, strategy wise, are:
1) Make sure you stay under the salary cap.
2) Pick only players who are playing that day (you can tell by whether or not an opponent is listed next to the player's name.
3) Make sure you check your team every day to make sure that you have only players who are playing that day.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/13/05 04:09 PM
Thanks.
You're supposed to change the roster every day, right?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/13/05 04:21 PM
Yeah. Every day.
It's fairly rare in the NBA for a team to play back to back nights, so there's almost no chance that all of your players on Tuesdays team will also playng on Wednesday.
Since each player is good for an average of maybe 10-20 fantasy points per game, having a full roster every day is the most important single element of strategy.
I mean, look at the standings in our league and you can see the importance of missing even one day, having three or four guys who aren't playing, and losing maybe 50-60 points.

have at least one player whose name can be slightly changed to have something to do with penis
i.e. Gilbert Arenas becomes Gilbert Penis
Zydrunas Ilgauskas becomes Zydrunas Il-cock-ass

How do you get a good lineup yet stay under the salary cap if the ratings are too high? Any pointers, or is it just good if you do, tough luck if you don't?

Ltz you have to look for good deals. Perfect example is say Shaq gets hurt and won't play for 5 games, look to see who replaces him in the lineup. He will be cheap since shaq plays alot. You just have to look for low priced players playing like high priced players.
Price doesn't matter, dwayne Wade had -4 fbpoints a few days ago and he cost 22 points.

Anyway, I picked my players at random today, so I can't remember any of their names. I'll sure try this next time, though.
By the way, when it says the rosters need to be in by 2:59am ET for the next thing... How does that work, exactly? Like if I did mine at around 7am this morning, it qualifies for tomorrow night, right? Not tonight?
And if it qualifies for tomorrow night, the players they've listed that are actually playing are effective for whatever night it qualifies, right? Wow, I'm even confusing myself with these questions. I hope you get what I'm asking.

After you sign in, you should be able to click on the name of your team, which should bring you to your current roster, from which you can use the "edit" button to change players.
By the way, when it says the rosters need to be in by 2:59am ET for the next thing... How does that work, exactly? Like if I did mine at around 7am this morning, it qualifies for tomorrow night, right? Not tonight?Right. The deadline for today was 2:59 AM this morning. The team you picked is for Thursday.
And if it qualifies for tomorrow night, the players they've listed that are actually playing are effective for whatever night it qualifies, right? Wow, I'm even confusing myself with these questions. I hope you get what I'm asking. When a player's name has an opponent listed next to it, that means his team is playing on the night that you are making selections for (If I understand your question correctly)

There are a few different approaches. If you look at, say, my roster and DB's roster every night for the past few weeks and pay attention to the cap values of the players we selected and who they were, you'll get a pretty good idea about the different ways to go about this.
I'm also assuming, of course, that you follow pro basketball.
But basically, as DMC says, you have to find those one or two guys every night who are undervalued.
That's really all I can say about how I do it without revealing too much of my own (successful) strategy.

"Should I choose Kobe Bryant tonight?"
"Outlook not so good."
There ya go.

Plaw - any predictions on who will catch who?
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/14/05 07:40 PM
The easiest answer would be to say that nobody's gonna catch anybody.
Obviously the SP-PP race is wide open and could go either way, so who knows?
But if I had to go out on a limb and make a prediction, I'd say that BB will catch DM.
I can't help but think plaw does not think I am very good at this game.

I think whether or not I catch up entirely rests on Shaq tonight. Taking that one chance could make or break my second half finish!
shaq or Ilgauskas if one plays and the other doesn't it will effect alot

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/14/05 10:26 PM
You're geting in shape for the playoffs, right?
They start a brand new game for that and all of us start off at zero.
You can take DB's place, who has already indicated that he's not gonna play (Although I have a feeling he may be changing his mind
:p ). Since you started coming around regularly, he's been a lot more "active".
As far as Wuss-dom goes, fear not. As long as you play basketball and don't join the baseball game, you qualify.

Okay, I have another quick question... I picked tomorrow's team already. Is that bad strategy, to pick them too early? Like if someone (Stoudemire) is playing tonight, and I pick him for tomorrow, there's a chance he might be injured by tomorrow, right? What are the odds of that happening? Anyone know?
Are there any other pros/cons to picking early or later in the day?
it makes sense to simply put a team together as early as you can. Say you get stuck at school/work whatever and you can't get home intime or your modem messes up. 5 people picked, say 1 gets injured so 4 playing is better than none.
I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that we pick our team as early as possible and then "check" them before logging off for the night.
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/15/05 10:01 PM
The "pro" is you get it over with and don't have to worry about your computer crashing, forgetting, etc. later.
Otherwise, you're 100% correct.
You can have a guy picked for tomorrow who gets injured tonight and you won't know it unless you check his team's boxscore for tonight's game.
All the boxscores for tonight's games can be found on the "scoreboard" link on your "boxscore" page for tonight's games.
Now, if you see a guy who usually plays 35-45 minutes a night only played 15 or 20, you want to look into it further. If he didn't play much because he shot 1-10 or was in foul trouble or his team won or lost by 25-30 or something you probably have nothing to worry about. But if his playing time was reduced for no apparent reason, you can usually find out why by reading the "game summary" (I think that's what it's called), which should mention if he was injured during the game.
While on the subject of injuries, BTW, you've probably noticed the asterisk next to some player's names on the pages where you make your selections position.
The asterisk means that he's injured and is on the "injured" list, so it is impossible for him to play.
But when a team puts a player on the injured list, that means that he's out for a minimum of five games.
As in football, players sometimes have minor injuries, and can be "doubtful", "probable", "questionable", or "day-to day", in which case you probably don't want to pick them.
Before selecting anyone, you should click on the link on his name on the page from which you make your selection, and they'll tell you that.
When I picked Nowitzki on Wednesday for his game yesterday, there was nothing indicated about him possibly not playing. But I made my selections early on Wednesday. Had I looked an hour or two before the deadline, there might have been some indication there that he was "questionable" or "doubtful", in which case I would have dropped him and taken someone else.
But I never looked.
Hope all that helps. How dare anyone accuse me of not being helpful.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/15/05 10:10 PM
On a related note, I've always thought, whether it's baseball or basketball, that the West Coasters have a significant advantage in this game just because their deadline is midnight and all the games have been played. Normal people playing in the East or Midwest go to bed before the West Coast games are finished leaving the possibility that someone on your team gets hurt. Knock on wood - I don't think this has ever happened to me. It has always been on the back of my mind when picking players in back-to-back West Coast games though, but I never cared enough to lose sleep just to make sure!
As for my routine - I'm off and on. I sometimes pick in the middle of the day when I find down time at work. I usually prefer to wait until night time though.

DB's Great Comeback He's been awfully quiet about it, my MWA has - probably doesn't want to jinx himself.
Well, maybe I can work some of the Devil's magic on it by calling attention to what has been a truly great comeback and an amazing hot streak.
On April 3rd, I had just completed my third straight day of scoring 136 points, and had a seemingly insurmountable lead of 231 points with 16 days to go.
But then.....
Date DB PL DB Gains PL's Lead
-
4-05 91 65 +26 205
4-06 112 116 - 4 209
4-07 101 78 +23 186
4-08 138 129 + 9 177
4-09 137 146 - 9 186
4-10 122 118 + 4 182
4-11 124 92 +32 150
4-12 78 61 +17 133
4-13 117 88 +29 104
4-14 113 110 + 3 101
4-15 91 99 - 8 109
DB makes up 122 points in 11 days.
Has 5 days left to make up 109 points and complete the greatest comeback in Gangster BB fantasy history.
Or will this be the biggest "choke" ever?
Will DB run out of time?
Can PL hold on?
Here's to 'ya, DB.
Truly a MWA....
Seriously, I don't believe in jinxes, as you know. If anyone beats me, though, I would absolutely prefer that it be you so I'd have nothing to be ahamed of.
Well, as my signature says.....

yes the ankles are a result of the playing time, but the hurt

I know... it sucks. I keep picking these AWESOME teams, and in my mind the calculations add up to 100, but it ends up being like 105 or 110 and I end up having to downsize big time. But I always try to keep one strong player who I know will come through for me. So I sacrifice other mediocre "18" players for one "29" player. I don't know if that's good strategy, but I'm learning.
It's fun though, that's for sure!

Someone (who shall remain nameless) played this game last year and, claiming to know nothing whatsoever about the players, treated it strictly as a mathematical exercise.
How high an FBA can you get while still staying under the cap is basically the idea of the game.
If you have the highest (or one of the highest) FBAs every day, you can't do too badly.

There have been plenty of exceptions to that rule during the year; but yeah, statistically, that wouldn't be the
worst strategy...

DB the scores on asstgm are yesterday's starting scores. He is in 3rd.

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/19/05 04:20 PM
Yesterday's score are official (if you look on "previous", they include the coaches scores and zeros for the DNPs, which is usually the litmus test).
But they haven't added them into the totals yet. i think they haven't decided whether or not to make these three days part of a new week, or part of last week.

Posted By: Don Sicilia
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/20/05 02:14 PM
Big Wuss is my formal name in the Wuss League.
I never actually said that I wasn't playing in the playoffs - just thinking about it.
It's actually kind of screwy if I don't play - it's not like me to quit in the middle of the season. Actually, it's not like me to quit at all.
And no Plaw, not playing in baseball does not count as quitting. :p
Posted By: plawrence
Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/20/05 02:24 PM
I never said you quit in Baseball. I know you would always fight until your last breath, being the ferocious competitor that you are.
But it is a shame that you're not playing. JL looks formidable, and I think the three of us (along with the usual also-rans) would have had a good race.
Not to mention that because you're not in it, the win, for whoever does win, will be somewhat tainted.

I see JL doing well and it's good that there's plenty of competition. Should make it interesting in the 2nd half.

So will a new thread be posted here, with a new ESPN page to go to and stuff? Or on Saturday do I go back to the Fast Break page? (No fair telling me to go there just to get rid of me over here, okay? I'm on to that jazz!

Re: ESPN Fantasy Basketball - 04/21/05 10:42 AM
Way to go, Plaw!
I'm SO bummed I didn't win this...
I thought I'd be like my Lakers... losing at first (not even playing, in my case), and then catching up in the last quarter and taking it all. It's the L.A. way. But I guess since the Lakers suck this season, it rubbed off on me and I didn't stand a chance. I guess from now on I have to play from the beginning.
(So do they, incidentally.)
