Drive to the Finals - STILL CAN JOIN!!!

We had a lot of interest in the brackets for the NCAA tournament and the group was started pretty close to the time the tournament started. I figured we could get a jump on the playoffs in order to get as much participation as possible.

* Each day, select one player
* Score one fantasy point for every point, rebound and assist your selection records in that day's game (Your total = P+R+A)
* The catch: You can only use each player once throughout the entire playoffs, so pay close attention to the match-ups and the status of each series!
* Set your weekly line-up in advance, or come back each day and make your selection. Not all match-ups are set in stone, so check back daily!
* You must make your selection before the start of the first game of that day.
* Everyone is eligible to win prizes (subject to Official Rules), but you can also heat up the competition by playing against your friends in public or private leagues.

I did all right last season, should be interesting.

It is definitely more of the more strategy oriented games...takes a lot of luck too - but definitely one that takes more skill than others.

Matchups play a huge role, Detroit players have notoriously done well in this game when playing the Magic (especially Chauncy). You also have to take into consideration how long a series will be, who plays better on the road or at home...and a few other things.

I like this game.

This is one of my favorite fantasy type games. It takes a lot of thought to do really well. I joined.

I am all for it. I play it every year but usually in the general board.

I registered just now. My name is listed as o-town dunk master but I do not know how to change it. Can anyone possibly tell me?

The count is at 10 people. Not bad for early registration. However, if this were the election...John McCain would be president. We need more early registration.

Bump it up...

Now that everything is set, let's get some more people joining

Reminder to set your lineup...

Also, last day to join to play the entire game.

Let's get some more people. This is the best game the NBA has to offer.

There is still plenty of time to join and win. I took Teyshawn Prince yesterday and he did about the same as if I hadn't played at all.

I got 13 out of Drew Gooden, not bad.

Hoppin on the Andre Miller train for tonight - only team that I think/know will lose.

AdamTheGreek · Post #17 » by **AdamTheGreek** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 4:10 pm

Was hoping for a bit more out of JR Smith.

Can't believe that 2 other people picked Tony Parker, ugh.

Post #20 » by **magik9113** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 10:53 pm

Parker was quite the pick today as well
