MitchellUK wrote:How's everyone feeling after their first week? I squeaked to a 5-4 win over Tarheel. Could easily have ended up 6-3 to me or 5-4 to him - I beat him by a single point, he beat me by 3 turnovers - and I'm trying not to read too much into the matchup.

Anthony Davis shot 40% for the week, Wes Matthews 35%, Khris Middleton 33%, Gerald Green 32% and Danny Green and Nerlens Noel both 28%, which I wouldn't expect to continue. (If it does, I might as well wave the white flag right now, because that's vomit inducing). So I'm cautiously optimistic that my team still has plenty of upside, especially in the efficiency categories.


It was a close matchup. I am going in to the early weeks of the season expecting some big losses but my team put up some respectable numbers, outside of the 3PT and BLK categories. I was expecting my team to dominate the blocks but didn't do much in week 1.

With so many young guys that may or may not get better, I expect a lot of shaky weeks to come. Starting 4-5 is better than expected, though.

First couple of weeks are always a bit of a crapshoot, I think. Some guys hit the ground running, some start slowly, and you have some teams still figuring out their rotation which can mess with players' minutes. I like the potential of your team, though. Griffin has started red hot, Gay and Thomas have started well. Wiggins has had a slow start, but I expect he will pick up significantly as the year goes on. Gobert seems to have picked up where he left off last year and should beast in boards and blocks. Kobe's started badly, but he's too good to stay this bad all year - at the very least he should offer some solid points and assist numbers as the season goes on, albeit a little inefficiently. Interestingly I think we're both in a similar boat regarding Minny and New York - I'm banking on the reduced minutes and likelihood of injury for KG/Pek and Afflalo/Calderon to allow Bjelica and Galloway to establish themselves, you're looking at the same for Dieng and Grant.

When you log in in the morning and see that Lou Freaking Williams went 16-19 from the line against your team last night:Image

Ugh, I have him in my other league. Driving me nuts. Can't believe I took him ahead of Lillard.

I've been flirting with Moe Harkless all week (not ajaykhana styles, though). Good time to pick him up, he's certainly on the uptick and looking like a pretty solid fantasy guy!

Alright Fendi, Dedmon's gonna give me 15 blocks tonight so I can make that CAT a little more competitive. Watch out.

AD woke up. 43 points, 10 rebs, 3 asts, 4 stls, 3 blks, 1 3pt, 14-23 from the field, 14-16 from the line, only one turnover. He (and my team) needed that.

Pretty happy. I had another well-fought victory this week. Stick had me on the ropes for the first four or five days, but I managed to creep past him in a couple of categories over the weekend. Davis and Middleton had better weeks, Wes Matthews looks like he's getting his legs under him. Nemanja Bjelica finally broke out, which I was waiting for. Definitely feel like I am getting a better idea of how my roster is going to pan out going ahead. Only downside is a bunch of guys picked up day-to-day injuries.

I'm still open to talking trade if anyone is interested.

So I am currently 3rd in the league in overall fg%, but I have been beaten in that category every single week. Basically, it seems that if you're matched up against me, your guys are apparently going to catch fire.

I'm willing to talk about most of my guys if the price is right.

You couldn't have done that against me last week while Bledsoe was torching people and shooting 69% from the floor and 91% from the line? :wink:
