It must be great being you -- frankly, I'm honored you even recognize my existence - you know, with all that encompasses the MAGNITUDE OF YOU.

Not surprisingly, your response epitomizes the self-importance of liberals -- always claiming to be compassionate, understanding & open minded -- all the while spewing their deep rooted hate for all things NOT THEM! What's next - you'll rally the troops and destroy the property of others in the spirit of protest, then go about suppressing the free speech of others & resort to boycotting everything that doesn't conform to your world order.

Thanks for pointing out the GREATNESS OF YOU.

Frankly, I feel better about myself knowing that YOU have ALL THE ANSWERS.

Oh Jesus Christ....... it all makes sense now. Get bent.

Nate Archibald or Oscar Robertson in a 52 mil draft league...discuss.

I wouldn't draft either... dh555 has earned the benefit of the doubt though. I am excited to see what his end team looks like.

Great thing about being close to 24 is you get to make picks close together. The bad part is the waiting and watching all my plans go up in flames.
However, hasn't happened as much this time. Only pick that made me change it up was that Horace Grant pick. Was hoping he would fall to me. Oh well, ya'll just keep on not picking the guys I want ok? Thanks!

Horace is a terrific glue guy at SF. I'm pretty sure he was part of my first title in this league, along with Howard and Billups and...some players not yet drafted. What I can't understand is how penn plays Grant and Bobby Jones in tandem and generally does pretty well. Both of them are SFs in this league in my book, and Jones in particular still doesn't really bring the level of rebounding I want. But there's something to be said for high efficiency, decent defense, and a relatively low number of mistakes.

well the big difference is archibald carries that 31% usg with his 50% efg while oscar is at 22-27% usg...oscar also adds great rebounding and much better defense

i usually avoid oscar because the average efg% and lack of 3s make him a shaky round 2-3 pick...but in the 4th i felt he might be worth the risk...kidd shoots nothing but 3s and he and oscars rebounding allows me to maybe add some more 3s at the sf spot...although with zo's rebounding i may want to go boards over 3s..not sure yet

bradley beal or ray allen is probably the better pick but im excited to see what oscar can do with some really good role players(kidd/gobert) around him

I don't like playing bobby @ the 5 personally and pair him with another really good player coming off the bench in the same position and when I am able to get Rodman @ the 3. But those are a very specific set of circumstances.

Gotta say I totally agree with penn on this one. When I was fired from my radio station and my story showed up on every sports web site on the net, you wouldn't BELIEVE the hatred spewed by these "compassionate, open-minded, caring" liberals. I still have all the e-mails to prove it, and you will see what I mean once my book that I am writing comes out. HATEFUL people, these liberals!

I think you guys have finally exposed the basketball SIM's liberal bias. How else to explain why the SIM favors modern, liberal statistics like "true shooting percentage" and "usage percentage" over the traditional, conservative stats that we've seen in our boxscores for decades? If points, rebounds, and assists were good enough for my pappy, gosh darn it they're good enough for me!

I agree with penn on one thing: I'm building a similar team, except with Steph instead of Tiny.

Is it a good plan? Well, I didn't say that.

Except TS% doesn't matter much in the sim because FTs usually happen at a lesser rate

(just over here being that guy)

I come to this site because it was the one place in my life where I could escape politics

Make WIS apolitical again?

Penn can make anything political. It’s his superpower.

Also, amerk, you have to tell us the story about you getting fired now. Or are we just supposed to guess what happened?

SENSITIVITY ALERT, SENSITIVITY ALERT - amerk 1180 now you've really done it --- you didn't get "content" approval from THEM!

The same THEM that add nothing to the posts - but complain about anything not in line with their self-determined world view. You see, THEY want you to only say what THEY want to hear - don't you understand that.
