Do I have any chance? 

Post#1 » by Carlton Banksy » Thu Apr 8, 2010 3:28 pm

I finished the 'regular season' in 1st place, but going into the finals I just lost both Bogut & Bosh, which is obviously a HUGE blow to me. My opponents' team is pretty stacked & all playing well, with a favorable schedule, and I'm not super confident I can pull it off without them. Here's my team as it stands now & their remaining games after tonight:

Derrick Rose - 4 games remaining
Beno Udrih - 3 games remaining
Manu Ginobili - 4 games remaining
Luol Deng (just picked up for Bosh) - 4 games remaining
J.J. Hickson (picked up for Bogut) - 3 games remaining
Taj Gibson - 4 games remaining
Brook Lopez - 4 games remaining
Drew Gooden - 3 games remaining
Deron Williams - 3 games remaining
Eric Gordon - 3 games remaining
Terrence Williams - 4 games remaining
Rajon Rondo - 4 games remaining
Louis Williams - 4 games remaining
Corey Maggette - 4 games remaining
Kevin Love - 4 games remaining

Potential Waiver Wire pickups:
Elton Brand - 4 games remaining
Jarrett Jack - 4 games remaining
Jrue Holiday - 4 games remaining
Ben Wallace - 4 games remaining
Ersan Ilyasova - 4 games remaining
Amir Johnson - 4 games remaining
Darren Collison - 3 games remaining
DeJuan Blair - 4 games remaining
Will Bynum - 4 games remaining
Shaun Livingston - 4 games remaining
Earl Barron - 4 games remaining


With Paul out for the year I'm considering picking up Darren Collison for either Udrih or Gordon, but am still debating which. Lou Williams could be an option too.

I think I'll also pick up Earl Barron if he plays well tomorrow night (not convinced after 2 games).

I'm down 6-3 after the first 2 days (no games Monday), and Tuesday it turned out I didn't set my lineups in advance like I thought I did & stupidly ended up with Rose, Hickson & Lou Williams on the bench.


Any suggestions?

I'm looking at Collison and Holiday just marinating on your waiver wire, and my mouth is open.

I picked up Collison last night for Udrih. Unfortunately he was on waivers & I thought I'd have him for tonight against Utah, but he doesn't join my roster until tomorrow so that roster spot isn't playing until Sunday. I also just picked up Jermaine O'Neal for Hickson. Terrence Williams struggled last game & Taj Gibson has had a couple bad games in a row, I hope that doesn't keep up because this would be a really bad time for the rooks to start struggling.
