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.

DB.....The Prophet

Exactly what happened to Rashard Lewis last night. 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

Not the first time it happened either...

Harrington did that earlier in the season and so did Gerald Wallace.

In any case... Long way to go...

The problem, I think, isn't the bench spots but the dynamic of the game itself. If we were playing in a roto league, I think people may be more open to trades because they can look at their teams and see that what type of stats they need - e.g. give up a big rebounder to get more assists.

Also, I think it's early in the season and people are concentrating on other sports.

There are other sports going on?

You know Plaw, with your recent moves in football, you have an outside shot at making the playoffs. You have two tough match-ups left (TU and DM) and two gimmes (ZO and TL). If you manage a win against either TU or DM, you may sneak into that 6th spot.

I know you know this.

Thank heavens for lucky wins.

Actually, I didn't know it. I've been concentrating on Yahoo Basketball, just in case you didn't know.

But I have to check the schedule...I just played TL last week.

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.

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.

Obviously I am only looking for star players, so depending on who you want back I'd be willing to trade 2 for 1, 3 for 1, or maybe even 4 for 1.

I didn't see the whole game, but the one thing I can say NJ has some very classy people. Even with the Nets moving to Brooklyn (I think that's finalized) they seem to still have a ton of support.

What a game by Arenas

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.

How about him. I watched the game. He kept missing free throws, but was making 3 pointers like there was no tomorrow.

I don't know what was up with Duncan. It must be the hair.


How about a little less questions and a lot more shut the hell up - Brian Griffin

When there's a will...put me in it.

I had no idea it was that bad. I was just saying in terms of actually cheering for the Nets, I see times when players or teams are leaving they get booed (is that correct?) a lot.

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
