FFL 2009-10 [Champion: sly!]

[hamncheese]

Well, good luck Hamtastic. I think we should have a pretty close match this week. You have a sizable games played advantage, and I'm suffering with a couple guys injured. I think that combination puts you in a good position to steal a win.

I'm hoping that I take turnovers for a change with my lack of games. Might be the difference.

Good luck to you too. You had the games played advantage the last time we matched up, so I guess it all evens out. Percentages will be a key as sometimes my team shoots well, somtimes not. My team didn't do so well last week against AlciG.

Great lineup of managers we have in the playoffs

Good luck to all.

Looks like a couple of my main guys are coming back. CP3 came back tonight and Noah's now feeling a bit better. Could be close, but I am still favoring Blake, since my best player is Al Horford!

Holy crap my team is running into a buzzsaw this week. I think I'd be trouncing the other teams I could have faced off with this week but Hamtastic is playing terrific.

Consider I'm losing in rebounds with 210 rebounds.
I'm losing in 3pts with 38.
I've got a slim lead in points with 536, that looks to evaporate on Sunday when his games played advantage really takes hold.

Unless I can win both shooting percentages I got almost no shot at coming out of the first round.

My pick up of Beaubois paid off. I was thinking of dropping him after he put up all 0's on Thursday, but thankfully the Warriors handed him a career game. 9 threes, 40 points, and 8 rebounds.

[Young_Star11]

Two pretty close quarter-finals.

Me v Blake
Wes v George

Coming down to the last day, Fran and Craig waiting in the wings.

[bww78]

Man, what a last day. This thing is going to come down to the wire.

[jazzfan1971]

Yay, I squeek by the first round. Congrats to Ham though, his team played terrific, and he made some terrific adds along the way. Boubois about killed me singlehandedly. I think that's the best game he'll ever have. EVER.

But, squeek by was the case. I had to win both percent catagories to advance, and the shooting cats have not been a strength for my team, so it was mostly luck. But, I feel pretty good knocking him off considering I had about 7-8 less games for the week, that was a huge disadvantage, especially against a team playing so well. Then I only won assists by a lousy 3 assists. So, it was really anyone's game.

Now I'm up against Craig. I seem to be in better shape this week I counted a 2 game disadvantage which is much more manageable than 7. I didn't think Craig's team was that strong after the draft, what sweet revenge it'd be for him to knock me out of the playoffs now. Hopefully my team keeps chugging along, but, if I have to go down I'd just assume have it be Craig. Nobody else I'd rather lose to.


So, good luck Craig, and better luck next time Ham.

[Young_Star11]

Tough luck to Blake. Injuries killed off your hopes, with Kendrick Perkins missing a couple of games, and Monta Ellis missing Sunday. Still another strong season from you, in second-place for most of the regular-season, before fading out late.

One hatchet buried, now onto another one. The season began with Fran trading for the #1 pick, then trading it onto me. It worked out really well for him, not so much for me after Chris Paul went down. I still seem unable to construct a championship-winning team, and this week might just prove that when I come up against Fran's team. Not waiting on Nicolas Batum could come back to haunt me too.

[hamncheese]

Congrats to Jazzfan. I faced a really good team. If only I had faced Blake or Jordan, I'd be moving on. 2 of my top 4 preseason teams (Wes and Jordan) or 3 or my top 6 (Wes, Jordan, and Fran) are still in it for the championship.

[fraanciiscoo]

@ ham -GREAT game sir ul but I really think wes deserv the win

@ blake- Like I said before inj have huge importance when it comes to PO. ul too

@Jordan- GL sir may the best team win. Right now dont feel very confident after loosing 2 last years in this fase ( semi-finals ) and having hedo and l.williams out to start the match up agaisnt you.

@craig and wes- hope to see the wrost team in the finals joking. GL to both

[sly]

thanks, Wes... good luck to you. Thankfully, my boys have kept healthy for the year and are still healthy coming into the final two weeks. I went young this year which helps; but, we'll see. Should be a tight matchup. LeBron seeing a max of 3 games will help; but you still - overall - have a good schedule this week for games played...

[fraanciiscoo]

Sabonis just picked my player HEDO.

It´s the end of the season and I don´t belive this (deleted) still doesn´t know the rules.

a) You can droop a player when he misses 2 games and on the day of his 3rd game ( on the day that he is supposedly going to miss his 3rd game. )

b) when a player is back you CAN´T add other players got to add the player that was on our INJ list and is back

B.1) he also CAN´T add or droop before he pick´s his player that is already back Ronnie Brewer.

EVEN if you were right he was NEVER yours (deleted) because 1st you got to add Ronnie Brewer to your team.

SO commish plz take hedo from this (deleted) team ( because I really think he did it deliberately - dont belive he doesn´t know the rules yet ) and put him back on my team.

Droop alonzo gee

Mod Note: Cut out the repeated insults once and for all.

[Young_Star11]

Fran, the issue has been resolved. Let's leave it at that.

[fraanciiscoo]

Regarding what happening in yahoo with Hedo.

1st I set my team in advance
2nd I didnt saw you asking that because I was in bed after a checked realgm and you said something like this dont worry fran I took care of it don´t make a thing out of this. In the US is afternoon or something but in europe is night. Check your sms here YS you didn´t tell me to take out that player I even dont know the name.

Fran, the issue has been resolved. Let's leave it at that.

3rd ys I dont understand why I should leave that player out? either I should have HEDO or NOT. I think He should be mine so whats the problem?
4th sabonis is making this and his team didn´t get even consolation.
5th YS you had the power to enter my team and put that player on the bench.

[jazzfan1971]

You mean a guy that wasn't even in the consolation round added your player just to screw with you?

HAhahahahhahahahahahaahahahah

Karma is a bitch, no?

[fraanciiscoo]

well I have tons of defects but I´m NOT a deleted fantasy wise like him. only 3 years in this league ALWAYS top 4 after playoffs ALWAYS top 2 in the regular season.

But I´m a deleted

Mod Note: See above.

[Young_Star11]

I am going to say that I've had enough. The recent Fran issue was the last straw for me. It's only a fantasy league; I play it for fun, and many of you do too....I know we all want to win, but some just seem to want it too much. I'm going to retire from the FFL after this season, and hand back the reins to Craig.

I feel I have performed well in this league, finishing 7th, 5th and probably 4th this year. Thanks for all the memories.

[jazzfan1971]

What was teh first straw?

[writersblock]

:lol:

I think we should put deleted more often in Fran's posts. They're a heck of a lot more funny, that's for sure.

[jazzfan1971]

I'd be happy to take over as commish next year. But, if I do we're doing away with the IL and going to weekly lineups.

So, maybe it might be better if someone else did it...
