NBA Decades Draft Chat

[Ritzarmy]

This plus the mini meltdown a couple nights ago put this draft at the top of the list of most memorable.


Can we just have Nos give each of the remaining teams their last player and end this shit? It's the 12th man, if you really need him your team is probably screwed with foul trouble and injuries.

What was the mini meltdown?

What was the mini meltdown?

When nobody knew who the hell was available and david robinson got drafted in like round 5

Nos can post where everyone stands pretty quickly after. Having everyone rankings public may lead to some pissed grudges or something.

This is exactly why I have people send their rankings to me to avoid people being pissed...

Either way its not 100% fool proof. Posting on thread may cause grudges and sending rankings to Nos may result in Nos getting a higher rank because they don't want to make him mad. Now Nos usually does have a great team but we have seen how rankings can decide a winner and that's 1,500 extra to the winner compared to 2nd place. Either way won't be perfect so I agree lets send to Nos our rankings but continue to think of a better way.

I may have missed it but did we find a new way to decide a championship tie or is it sticking with rankings?

I guess I was just a little rusty.

How's about this...? Post the matches and give us 1 day to talk shit about each others team, then people can vote... I say this because I kinda agree with Wamu... It kinda feels like picking basketball cards and saying who has the better deck rather than who better gm'd a team IMO... Some people may not respond... It might be...

WLK - "my team will kick UKs teams a$$ because my team is full of a$$ kickers and he has a bunch of bitches"

UK - says nothing because he knows WLK is correct...

And that will be the end of it... Or UK might come back and we have a 10 page arguement... Then the vote comes... I personally think this is a great thing but it kind of loses it's steam when the draft is done because nobody really gets to give reason/opinion on why their team should win, especially when you get a message saying vote and sometimes people aren't online for whatever reason... The bickering as Nos calls it is needed if one is passionate about their team... And IMO the people who aren't passionate won't set stats, won't argue points, won't finish drafting...

I can tell you right now, many guys that have drafted, if the person they face says their team sucks said person will defend their team... But if nothing is said those same guys might not want to offend so they'll be quite and just vote... I say we let the rankings be wide open as well, same reason... That's just my 2 cents...

Hey man, I was saying I read your piece and it was cool... But since you ignored me I have a number in mind, was wondering if you could guess it...
