Why is my team struggling? Need HELP 

Post#1 » by F1uxCapacit0r » Sat Nov 24, 2012 10:25 pm

So this is a 12 team keeper league. standard 9 cats. My team is

PG
Lowry
Holiday

SG/SF
J.R. Smith
Kevin Martin
Hayward
Gallinari
Durant

PF/C
Parsons
Pekovic
Kaman
Brook Lopez
Nene
Cousins

Looking at my team is should be beasting. I am currently in 5th with a 13/14 record. The weird thing though? In head to head totals, I am ranked accordingly
FG% 9th
FT% 3rd
3PTM 2nd
PTS 1st
REB 2nd
AST 2nd
STL 1st
BLK 1st
TO 12th

Outside of FG and TO's I am dominating the league, but for some reason it doesn't translate to wins. Is it my match ups because looking at this team I should be a lock for 1st

It does seem weird. How are the teams you matched up against ranked?

Because your team isn't that great. It is unbalanced aside from Durant. Consolidate some of your SG/SFs (dude, you have Durant, you don't need a million swingmen) and improve your PG/PFs.

I guess I should also further explain my strategy. Since it is a keeper league with 12 players I am flopping TO's and FG%. 4 keepers so I am not sure who is worth keepings. Currently thinking Lowry, Durant, Cousins and am stuck between Holiday and Lopez

PG
Lowry
Holiday

SG
Kevin Martin
J.R. Smith

SF
Gallinari
Durant
MWP

PF/C
Parsons
Pekovic
Kaman
Brook Lopez
Nene
Cousins

Outside of Cousins and Gallinari, my team is

Let the season play out and tell you who to keep. Not sure why you're worrying about it in November. Play for 1st or play for keepers. You can't do both simultaneously.

Cousins is turrible and him + a swingman for an upgrade is a good idea.
