damn...guess not

i know im going against the norm....but i think its possible to contend with a defensive squad...and mine should be one of the best...of course if i cant get enough scoring(im guessing thats the reason why you didnt care for the pryz pick) then it could be a long season

and dont think joel isnt going to use this as bulletin board material against your team....i see him going for a season high 10 points on you haha

I still don't get "gone fishing"

yea i know im lacking big time with the assists.....thats why i wanted boerwinkle so bad

i decided to go for boards/defense over scoring/assists with the hope that ill win games 110-100 with garnett and buse providing just enough assists and maybe even a few nice assists games from hakeem

lol... u'r killing me, cjok... u never heard that expression? maybe it's just known with us old folks then... gone fishin means... "screw work"... or, "my day job sucks, i'm goin' fishin'... or, well, a bunch of things rolled up into one. it's just what your team reminds me of... for example, i can see hardaway now, jawing with oscar, and oscar throws his arms up and and says... "screw this sh*t, i'm goin' fishin'".

Bold move by tarheel. I remember when Schayes, Sr., was a secret weapon in a long-ago version of the sim.

And thanks, scud, I like the moniker. My squad will hereby be known as the Galloping Turkeys.

Part of me was hoping Moncrief would fall to me, but I've secretly known for about three rounds that I wanted Alex English on this squad. I thought about another chucker (there are still plenty out there), but in the end decided on offensive balance. English gives me very efficient mid-range scoring, and some nice assists as well. I looked at other guys with better defense but inferior eFG%.

One wrinkle with this starting unit is an excess of usage, but this was always going to be a running bunch so hopefully I won't be wasting too many theoretical possessions.

I'm underwhelmed by 98average's squad so far, but 1) he's a much more accomplished owner than I am so I assume he has an intelligent plan at work, and 2) I notice he hasn't spent as much on his starting five as most of us. This leaves me thinking that the other shoe has yet to drop - he's poised to add some crucial help from the bench.

one thing about your supposed excess usage, brad, is that your 22.1%+ guys don't have a ridiculous amount of possessions. Dwight, for example, barely has 1000 fgs... bigshot, too... (thus I'm saying you'll be okay)

No respect from scud and longtallbrad...where's my bulletin board
11/24/2009 7:39 PM
And here I thought I paid you proper respect by assuming that you're several moves ahead of me... Truly, very curious to see where you're going with that squad.

I sense a 1st round flame out for my squad
11/24/2009 7:59 PM
me too, 98! this team of yours is on the precipice of the playoffs... just need a few more boards as i see it... but, like brad says, u've got a plan...and, u don't win 31 rings by winging it. dangerous ballclub already. could be devastating quite easily.

coach with some nice 5th and 6th round picks! playoff bound... edges out empdenied.
11/24/2009 8:09 PM
Coach is using my boy Dolph, who was on my very first sim team, Emp's Sloggers. We played slowdown, UGLY ball. Made the divisionals that way! Nice work coach.

98's shoe is going to hurt when it drops.

Scud, I think whether we make the playoffs hinges on if I actually get my guys some 16 odd players from now. We'll see. . .we'll see.
