Holy crap, JG is only 14 points behind me. Wow, I should really pay more attention. Anyway, I chose Miller because I honestly thought that he would outscore Rip. It's probably his last year - I would think that he would want to go out with a bang. The trouble with Miller is that his looks are deceiving - he doesn't look noticeably older than when he was a superstar. But man, has his skills deteriorated... I haven't thought about it long enough to decide my strategy yet. As of right now, I'm still playing straight up. I do know that being in 2nd or 3rd doesn't mean all that much to me - both mean I wasn't in 1st. Friggin' competitive side in me...

DB 3378 106.3 101 (- 5.3) 3479 90.2 Artest & O'Neal
JG 3364 106.3 101 (- 5.3) 3465 85.5 Same as DB
SP 3093 109.8 85 (-24.8) 3178 90.2 Same
TM 2612 106.3 101 (- 5.3) 2713 85.9 Harrington instead of Artest Here 'ya go, guys. I (stupidly) gave you a shot here. I liked Detroit in this series all along, and I think their defense is gonna maul Indy tonight. I figured you guys would stick with Artest and O'Neal, but what the hell. I like to roll dem bones now and then. The game was getting too boring. Edit: Hey, I just realized...My team tonight could be your birthday present, DB

Have you looked at the potential match-ups for the finals yet?
Here...I'll save you the time and trouble. This is strictly my opinion of course, but the only arguable choices are as follows:
Minn vs Det: Cassell or Billups Minn vs Indy: Miller or Szerbiack or Hoiberg LA vs. Det: Billups or Payton, Rasheed or Malone LA vs Indy: O'Neal vs. O'Neal
Any really unpredictable picks that you might have to make (Like say Tinsley vs. Cassell, or Prince vs. Fox), could, of course, come through but you would be a decided underdog.
Fortunately for you, I think, The LA/Det matchup with two choices seems to be the most likely. Then, as I said before, if I'm still in the lead it will become a pyschological battle, with me on defense trying to match your picks.
And if we hit the finals with only 4-7 possible opportunities left, even if I guess wrong, it's gonna be tough for you to make up 50 or so points.

Except for Flip, I like the shot with this roster a lot better than the shot's DB played with Martin.
Try to keep the pressure on him for second if you can.

Now that we probably would all agree that with Cassell out, the best combo is Szczerbiak & Malone instead of Kobe & Madsen, the series is over.

Guess I did make the good combo pick - tho I was too optimistic about Minnesota (cuz of Pick'n Roll)... Looks like it's Ex-Lax from here on out with $28.8m Garnett out of it...

We'll see...Some of the match-ups for a Detroit-LA final could be interesting.
If you're playing catch up, you could do a lot worse than
Billups vs. Payton Hamilton vs. Kobe Rasheed vs. Malone Prince vs. ??? Ben vs. Shaq
I mean, you're not forced into Reggie Miller vs. Kobe or something to try to make up points.

It's fine with me. I ain't lookin' for no excitement at this point.
You guys in 2nd and 3rd gotta start takin' some chances.
It's not like any of the matchups are so ridiculous that if you go the other way on any of them you'd have no shot to gain ground.

Tuesday PL 4258 DB 4230 JG 4205 SP 3815 TM 3350 Top three have same team again From DB's POV, I can sort of understand...Trying to hold off JG for second place. But JG, your conservatism mystifies me. Third place is locked up, so what to you have to lose by picking outside the box? In your position I would have taken Payton and Rash-weed, and maybe Hamilton. Or were you figuring that DB was gonna go outside the box in a run for first, and you could gain ground on him? Of course, I don't expect any answers here....

Two reasons: 1) The site was all fucked up yesterday and I didn't feel like dealing w/ the display problems; and, 2) I figured DB would fuck with his!
