Brave robusk: takes the two 19-20 players he is absolutely in love with the next two rounds
Lame robusk: takes mediocre players he will probably hardly use the next two rounds

Feeling like a lame day. Although probably my best outcome is taking the lame choices, and hoping a bunch of competitors fall out of contention because the 19-20 drop never happens.

I propose we rename “Brave Robusk” to “Robust”

How many times per day are you re-pressing search on the Season = 19-20 query?

Pretty much all day lmao

It’s crazy that the winner of this league might be determined by what happens with 19-20...SAVAGE

Every second we don't get it, I honestly think we are actually further from getting it this season.

Of the 50 seasons I drafted, there is only 1 19-20 season I planned on using. I technically should be actively rooting against it, but I actually want to see everyone be able to put their best teams out.

Jesus. I might have been a little harsh, but I was trying to speak sense to you. I was trying to help end this annoying cycle. You automatically went to attack. It was not a rhetorical argument I brought up. Your wording, "I'd like to share more insights of this nature, but it usually falls on me to do so," does make little sense. The first part says you would like to share. But, after that comma you lament the fact that you would have to share.
As far as common sense, they are entwined. We base most of our common sense off of conventional wisdom. "Conventional wisdom says most people don't like being attacked, so common sense dictates that if I attack any and all I will probably face negative feedback."
I don't know why you believe you have more "ammo" than me, we don't know each other. Besides that, I wasn't attacking you, I was trying to get you to better think out your posts. But you seem to be into playing the victim and then lashing out, digging for any reason to talk negative. Some people have posted various levels of support for you, but you attack even them. So far I've seen immaturity, victim-mentality, aggression, impulsivity, delusion, and now blind sense of superiority and narcissism. However, unlike what you've shown, I realize that everyone here is more than just the posts they make. So, I tried to speak to your reasoning. I assume I'll just have to wait for the next inevitable lashing out by you.

I'd like to end this cycle too.

If we base common sense off of conventional wisdom, that does not mean that they are always the same or interchangeable. In any case, the terms do not mean the same thing, as I have shown.

I.......that's a lot of names and characterizations. You're entitled to them, you really are. You criticized a statement I made. I explained to you what I meant. It doesn't seem that we'll be able to see eye to eye on this. I don't know why you decided to address that statement from me, but I have explained to you what I meant, and I cannot do so in another way.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc - after, therefore because of which. That which follows another is not necessarily caused by the other. Common sense may follow conventional wisdom, but it is not necessarily caused by it.

I currently have 5 19-20 seasons. that feels like a lot.

I'd like to stop bickering. Here's what I'm going to need:

1. No more GIFs in my general direction. They're disrespectful and you know it.
2. Criticize the pick, not the person making the pick.
3. Ben should apologize (to everyone) for being insensitive during a pandemic, but I'm not counting on it.
4. If you come at me, I've been a good sport about it for years. I will fire back. Clearly, a few of you don't have any issues with coming at me, so I long as I don't fire back at you. Maybe it will make you think twice. If I express an opinion and you mock it, I will come back at you. Fair?
5. Please don't talk about my team. I just want to draft and play. Let me make my own choices, and don't harp on whatever explanations I give to other people. Don't validate or invalidate my explanations; they were asked of me, and they were harmless, unlike pick times during a pandemic.
6. Let's just all draft and have a good time, eh? That's what I've always wanted, so long as the above can be followed to some extent

I was beating myself up on the Buddy pick, but he is going to play and he is going to score. Team needed threes and he is going to shoot more than he did for me last season.

A lot more players than I would have guessed were drafted by the same owner again. Fun to see.

I was so disgusted with last year's team that I intentionally avoided doing it.

I looked at two other PGs with higher USG and TOS/ lower eFG% than Baron Davis. I waited to long on backup PG, but happy I didn’t make a bad situation worse.

im off this week(took a vacation so i can watch shake milton struggle to bring the ball up the court ugh...i miss you ben!) and i plan to get good and drunk one night this week and do some scathing evals....stay tuned!

im also your man if you need someone to post proxies

booooorrrrrriinnnnggggggg

Was that too much to ask? Damn

I don’t feel like anyone said a word about your team since the time you last asked us to stop though. Then you brought up your team. I don’t understand.

The GIFs, comments like “immune to logic and reason,” pick times during a pandemic, double standards, opt out of evaluations, just want to draft and play without explaining myself (unless people can accept my explanations)

The Westbrook thing doesn’t matter anymore. You’re right about that. I should’ve left it
