penis

Now if only plaw's posts could be as intelligent as that one :p

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).

PS: the 'penis' post by JGeoff is the best of the year so far :rolleyes:

The FB points for tomorrow only add up to 85.8 Is that good?

If that's what you think the best team is then whose to say if it's good or not.

You said you guys would help me. Anywho, the revolution begins tomorrow...

and if you believe that then I got a bridge to sell ya... :rolleyes:

Bow down to Pastro.

From Plaw, just posting it in this thread as well

Wow - looks like I 'pulled a Pat' on Day 1

Im trying to join your group when registering my team

what yur group name so i can join you and have some fun even thouhj im not to sure if i picked good players

Please let me know

The group is Gangster BB
Password is corleone

Im in not to sure what im doing though,youll have to help me

Well, I see you managed to register. That's a good start.

But you already missed picking a team for today. That's a bad start.

Here the team what i picked what do you think?

PG Steve Nash, PHO 23.5 23.5 LAC 22.7
SG Corey Maggette, LAC 19.8 19.8 @PHO 17.9
SF Bruce Bowen, SA 12.9 12.9 HOU 9.2
PF Clifford Robinson, NJ 12.5 12.5 @MIL 8.5
C Shaquille O'Neal, MIA 24.9 24.9 @IND 24.9
Cch Knickerbockers, NY 3.8 3.8 -- 2.0

That's your team for tomorrow, (Wednesday) right?

I guess it's OK, but what do I know?

Looks like you had some cap room left over, though, so you might have been able to do better than Bowen or Robinson at the forwards.

But that's about all the strategy help you're gonna get from me. You're on your own now. :p

Thanks alot,will you post the results when the games are playes

The previous day's scores and group standings get posted in this thread every day.

Gotta go now. Have a good one.

don't worry DE NIRO, Plaw NEVER miss previous day' scores. now, good luck for all of us!

I will offer my own strategy help for you. DON'T post your lineup on here. The idea is to have the best lineup, if yours is good others might take it.

plaw missing a previous days scores has the same odds as Pat beating him

Asstgm is not working for me right now, not sure if they changed the link or something but this is for the new players

BACK FROM VACATION...

First of all, congratulations to Plaw for your win in the first half. Picks were once again masterful. Great job!

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.

Thanks for the kind words, DB. I don't consider my win to be official until I hear from you.

So what happened to our MBP? I had high hopes for him in the second half. I thought he could have at least made a run at the top four.

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

Some First Half Awards:

Bobby Sura Low Cap Value Award: Dan Dickau
MVP: Kevin Garnett
Best Player That Hardly Ever Got Picked Award: Tim Duncan
Another Favorite Player Last Year That Hardly Ever Got Picked: Zach Randolph
Rookie Of The Year: Emeka Okafor
Most Improved Players: LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Amare Stoudamire
Three More Disappointing Players, Based on Last Year: Michael Redd, Pedrag Stojakovic, Erik Dampier
Best "Discoveries" Until Everyone Else Caught On: Dan Dickau, Ruben Patterson, Trevor Ariza, Austin Croshere, Jeff Foster, Josh Childress
Biggest "Discovery" That Was A Disappointments: Rick Brunson

nice idea Plaw, and it's impressive the fac that I agree with nearly ALL of your picks.

Lebron deserves a special mention for MVP, but KG surely was a little better despite the fact that his numbers have went down.

Looks like some positions got swapped. Wade is now a SG and Amare is at C...

There's gonna be some crappy scores tonight.
