2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TJL]

Ya'll are legit. I only play in one league with some friends, but there's no money involved. But it's super competitive because we all talk a lot of shit to each other. We only kicked one person out of our league for fantasy football. It was because one year he auto drafted, never changed his lineup(including bye weeks) and ended up winning the championship. His team hit pretty much gin every week, it was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Can't remember who was on his squad but pretty sure it was the year Shaun Alexander went crazy and he had him.

LMFAO, I would be so upset.

In my money league for football, my buddies gf won it last year, she won the pot plus our inagural chamionship belt with is like a $250 belt lol

She didn't know to add/drop, she set her lineup every week but had no clue that she could drop injured players and add waiver moves. We only added her to the league because we desperately needed one last second, and she was the only one in the league who had absolutely no clue what she was doing, and she won the whole thing.

Here's my team, right after the draft:

Steph Curry
Kyrie Irving
Kyle Lowry
Melo
James Johnson
Trevor Ariza
Nerlens Noel
Dirk Nowitzki
Eric Bledsoe
Isaiah Thomas
KCP
Seth Curry
Jamal Murray
Kris Dunn
Terrence Ross


I mean what in the actual fuck right? My two big guys are Noel and Nowitzki. I'm gonna get killed on Boards, Blocks.

Just punt rebounds and concentrate on 3's/Assists/Steals/points, that's 4 cats right there, plus you should be good in the FT% department. You should win 5-4 or 6-3 every week with that team.

I usually punt FT%, but I decided not to punt anything last year or this year, worked out well last year, I finished first in the regular season standings but got fucked because KD went down week 1 of the playoffs.

We just figured she knew, then my buddy posted in our group chat that she had just figured out how to add/drop, and that was during the week of the championship lol

Yeah, but FG% is usually hard to win with a lot of guards. You need some bigs to help even that out, but yeah I should do well on the FT% though. Should have points, 3's and assists for sure locked up. I'm probably losing on turnovers too with high usage guys. Should be interesting.

He is. So is Thomas, KCP, and Dunn.

Drop KCP and pick up Biyombo, Tristan Thompson, John Henson type guy.

But, yeah...you are...

 

[TJL]

He is. So is Thomas, KCP, and Dunn.

Do you have any IR slots? We have 2 in our league so that it's not as big of a harm to draft guys like IT.

We debated it for a while a few seasons back, but opted against it. Feel like if you want to stash a guy you shouldn't be rewarded for the full season for having him and get an extra player to compensate.

yea, I'm not a huge fan of it either. I drafted Bosh last year, and kept him stashed for the whole season lol

That Warrior/Pelican game, I'm telling you will be a must watch game. Cousins and AD usually go off against the Warriors and Draymond will only be able to guard one. I'm guessing Zaza matches up initially with AD and they put Draymond on Cousins to piss him off.

Warriors beat the Rockets by 16 though. Book it.

Maybe Draymond 2.0 will get some burn once A.D. gets Zsa Zsa in foul trouble.

I hope they blow the doors off the Rockets so we can see CP3 implode when Harden stops playing hard.

 

[Heatles84]

@Heatles84 Here's the team I ended up with, 16 teams. The number in parenthesis is where I drafted them.

PG - Lonzo Ball (62)
SG - James Harden (3)
SF - LeBron James (7)
PF - Zach Randolph (94)
C - Enes Kanter (126)
G - Dwyane Wade (90)
G/F - Derrick Rose (103)
F/C - Kyle Kuzma (99)
UTIL - Dion Waiters (122)
UTIL - JR Smith (158)
Bench - Kelly Olynyk (163)
Bench - Jahlil Okafor (190)




First round went

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. Russell Westbrook
3. James Harden
4. Kevin Durant
5. Stephen Curry
6. Karl Anthony Towns
7. LeBron James
8. Anthony Davis
9. Kawhi Leonard
10. Demarcus Cousins
11. John Wall
12. Damian Lillard
13. Kyrie Irving
14. Christ Paul
15. Rudy Gobert
16. Jimmy Butler

I'd probably start Waiters over Wade at this point, with numbers and all. And congrats on drafting just about all of the Cavs players.

First power rankings of the season

Not buying the Cavs as the #2 team. I think that OKC (if Westbrook plays nice), the Spurs and possibly the Rockets are better.

Ordered League Pass a week ago and just got Sling TV

I'm all set for the season!

I might even have the Celtics ahead of them too.

Bastards!
