FRUSTRATING top draft picks. 

Post#1 » by bucketz » Sun Jan 15, 2012 4:49 pm

This is my first year doing fantasy sports and the first year paying attention to other NBA teams aside from my own.

I am in a weekly H2H league and Dirk is really starting to drive me crazy. After 3 weeks, my team is dominate in assists, strong in rebounds, blocks and OK in steals. This is with Dirk rotting in my PF slot and after I traded away Reke (before the coach got fired) for Horford.

Theres only one Dirk on the Mavs, right? He's going to pick it up...right? RIGHT?

GAHHHH

this is your first year ... so don't get down on yourself. Just learn from you're mistake and you will definitely improve for next year!

I have the same situation, injuries is a pain in the a**.

This is why I prefer auction drafts. You can draft the players you want without being hamstrung by your draft slot.

At least Dirk is playing. I have Wade injured and Ibaka barely sniffing minutes.

Eric Gordon was my third round pick. He has barely played but when he comes back my team should be unstoppable.

Stoudemire isn't my top pick but he is really hurting my fantasy pay league. Channing Frye might as well be injured cause he hasn't done anything for the past 4 games.
