Hrmm, it gets worse - Boozer and Murphy are on the cant cut list... will have to make do without them until like January or whenever they all come back...

Time to make some dodgy waiver choices!

[hsxvvd]

Looks like Murphy is back second week, and Boozer won't be long either, I wouldn't cut them, unless I'm first in waivers!

great job hsxvvd

Team Preview: Brazilspurstalk

I'm not a high on Durant in this league when you factor in the assist/turnover ratio, but it's still a nice place to start when building a team. Horford and Gallo are almost the perfect pair to round out the forward spots, and Cousins could really turn out to be a huge bonus. I think he'll start strong and hit the rookie wall hard with Landry, Thompson and Dalembert ready to eat up his minutes when he does, but a good start could boost his trade value or at least hold the fort until JJ Hickson figures out his game. The back court is weak, Billups is likely to be on the decline, and Richardson is a 50/50 call, either he improves without Stoudamire or slips sharing time with Hedo, Childress, Hill and Dragic.
This team is going to need to see some real upswing on the potential picks like Cousins, Hickson and Holiday to stand a chance of making the playoffs.

Nice recap !
In fact half of the team is coming from autopicks from Richardson untill after d'alembert.
I thought Billups was a nice player to pair with Durant to build on FTs and 3s giving me some assists to not punt them totally. I'm happy with Danilo and Horford but I wouldn't have picked Richardson after Danilo.
Maybe some trades and FAs will improve this team but it won't be a contender team. I'm much more happier with my roto team at least I chose everybody.

I will see the FAs and stuff but I can trade Richardson or eventually Danilo for the good price.

(Also, no doubt I would of gone all Dallas 07 on you all, dominate regular season and choke my ass of in the playoffs, but I still would of liked to be involved)

Thanks.

Lopez and Nowitzki are a nice combination to have and you seem to have plugged in enough potential around them to make this team contend to the end. The punt on Assist/TO is a nice play and makes Ellis and Gay top 10 picks. Kleiza is a steal late, but what you gain with him your likely to lose in Bargnani. There are a lot of weapons in this team, and given xcoriate's tendency to make moves, I think this will shape up very nicely come playoff time.

haha nice... the auto-draft did its part.

I tried to jump on for the live draft (all be it late) but I was having to settle for a tethered iphone connection on the laptop which just couldnt get me connected for some reason :S

Anyway I was expecting a disaster, but I'm quietly confident with how things look. A couple of pickups and I'm on my way

Team Preview: Urunobili

It might be a bit early to call a favourite, but I just don't see how teams will be able to compete with Paul, Nash and Collison. This is the best guard combo I've seen in any of my leagues and lets not forget Jason Terry who is a 40-50 ranked player every year. The front court is a little light with Jefferson and Gasol needing to have big years to cover the bigman stats, but Varejao and Thomas are perfect "fill a need" players with some upswing potential. I'm not very high on Turkey Glue, last year was awful, and he's had a busy offseason too. Barbosa also is a question mark, but has been fantasy gold in the past. This is certainly a playoff team that will be an early season measuring stick for us all.

Sure you're not thinking about the wrong league?

You clearly drafted this team for the BBMSHFB as shown by the draft results:

And you clearly drafted the team you so clearly despise for the roto league (or someone called rodman2211 did, anyway):

#fantasybasketballfail for urunobili!

[urunobili]

hahahahahahah self ownage macabre!

I still need help though. :

[Brazil]

Guys make me offer for my sacramento boys, the autopicks gave me 2 of them and I picked one myself, I don't want 3 guys of the same team !

I have the one and unique Beno, the young gun who is going to destroy the nba Cousins and the 11 reb, 2 blks beast Samuel D'Alembert !

I'm ready also to trade J Richardson or Galinari

[AussieFanKurt]

Happy with Rondo's start

[arles]

Well, that was all for week 1

I lost by the A/TO ratio: 1.42 to 1.43. Talk about a close one XD

What are your thoughts about this firsts matches?

[hsxvvd]

6-3 without Oden or Okur, I'll take that.

I cannot connect the league ( firewall at work) so I don't know my final result. I was on a closed one, I don't know the final result. Who is Jak cok something ?

For the rest I need to do some moves to improve a below average team so far.

[arles]

Well, I'm glad to inform you that you won =D

[Brazil]

Well, I'm glad to inform you that you won =D

Thanks ! I was worried about the last day for the A/T when I saw a 6 TOs / 2 assits for Durant.

This week confirms what I expected some strong cat (FTs, 3s, steals) and some very weak (assists, blks, FG%), I'm not very well balanced.
I hope Danilo will come back strong so I can trade Richardson or him to balance a little bit.

last year I picked curry in the draft, this year I picked dorell wright, not that I'm expecting the same kind of impact but dorell can be a very very nice player, he is giving tons of 3s.

[Brazil]

Happy with Rondo's start

Rondo is beasting right now lucky you

LJ or Kori, can you move that thread to the international forum please ? it is to avoid to contaminate spurs forum front page with our fantasy league.
