Peja was 8-18 last night, and got you 25 points..... Anyway.....I don't remember if it was in a PM, an IM, or here, that DB suggested a bigger bench because that would encourage more trades. Well, he was right. Trouble is, we didn't make the bench big enough. With only 6 people in the league, there are still too many usuable free agents available, and it looks like everyone prefers for the most part to stick with who they drafted and try to fill the odd hole here and there with a FA.

One minute, and then out with a shoulder injury. Not to mention Nowitzki. 14 points in 17 minutes, then out with a strained back. Maybe you shoulda played salary cap instead of this. You can't seem to do anything right here. :p

There are other sports going on? What? Golf? Horse racing? I think bass fishing is over, isn't it?

You're right... You're playing SP, not TL. I see " Playaz Football Club" and think it's your team and not FC's. Hmmmm... SP is tougher than TL's team. If he keeps playing bye week players like he did last weekend, you should be able to beat him.

I made a few changes in the format here.... 1) I eliminated (yesterday, actually) the "Total Games Left" column (TGL). Everyone gets the same number of games - 984 - so if you want to see how many games someone has left, simply subtract the "Total Games Used" (TGU) number from 984. 2) For greater accuracy, I started carrying the decimals out to two places. 3) I added a column for "Yesterday's Average", which will provide an additional way of gauging your prformance for the past day against everyone elses. 4) I added a column for "Projected Finish", which is your average number of PPG X 984. This will give you a relative idea of exactly how far ahead or behind you are projected to finish, based on your current average. Thursday's Scores and Standings

The comparison of daily averages and number of players used, coupled with the season-end projection, offer some interesting insights into what constitutes "gaining ground", and how much you actually gain on a given night
For example, going into last night, BB had a projected finish of 18,499, whle DM's was 17,417.
So, based on projections, BB was gonna finish 1,082 points ahead.
But last night, DM's "good" 24 Pt average using 3 players, couple with BB's "lousy" 14 Pt average from two, the projection became 18,340 for BB (-159) vs. 17,788 (+371) for DM, a difference of only 552.
So effectively, DM cut BB's lead over him in half last night.

Mourning is a good pick up DB. I grabbed him in my other Yahoo League, where I'm *cough* weak in rebounding. The only reason I took Haywood in our league instead is because I figure to only use him in the event of an injury, and who knows when that may happen. Once Shaq is back, Mourning's minutes will disappear, but for now he's better than Hunter, who'll be worth less when Dalembert comes back, I think.

30 points in the second half. About 15 in the last 6-7 minutes. Beat the Nets all by himself.

Actually, the Nets support is, and always has been, horrible. That's the main reason for the move, I think.
Northern NJ fans root for the Knicks, and the Southerners are all Sixers fans.
The only regular season games they've been selling out the last few years are with the Knicks, Lakers, and now Cleveland. They even have trouble selling out playoff games in the early rounds.
Last night - a Saturday night with Yao Ming and McGrady in town - there were at least 3,000 empty seats.

The visiting players and their teams get booed of course, but that's fairly normal.
I can also tell you that I used to go to a fair number of Knick games (many years ago), and back then just about everyone in MSG was a Knick fan.
At Nets games there always seems to be a disproportionate number of fans rooting for the visitors.

Hey, DB...... Congratulations on a great game from Rashard Lewis. 39 points - one of the highest fantasy scores of the season so far. It's about time he broke out, and it sure makes up for the other night when you got charged for a game after his one minute appearance. Wait.....what's that? He was on your bench today? Oops. Never mind. :p
