Holy Crap.

there's a lot of guys I'd like to pick up between 40-49 games played.

Also, I'm pretty well already dead in the water. I couldn't do research from my phone very effectively while driving.

^Why are you dead in the water?

Was the Pippen pick such a calamitous move?

I'll make it work. Just haven't figured out precisely how.

With 1995 rules Pippen is an especially interesting pick since you add a modest amount of 3 point shooting to his already versatile game.

I thought for sure you would take him.

If it means anything, I would've taken Pippen had you passed.

We're trying to make the guy feel better, not demoralize him, Miller.

Jeez.

I apologize. I was just angry for missing out on Reggie for the umpteenth time in these competitions.

I can already see Tmacs team is going to have Rolaids, Menimusal and Levitra as its main sponsers.

So...what definition do you guys use for "snake draft"? Cause by my definition, TMAC should've had two picks straight there.

ABBA, I believe

Post #51 » by **Snakebites** » Tue Apr 20, 2010 1:14 am

Yeah, I don't know why I said Snake. Its been ABBA since the early planning of it.

I guess I think of anything that isn't schoolyard AAAAA format as a variation on the snake. Obviously thats a stupid way of looking at it, but there it is.

From the OP of this thread.

Ahh. Just threw me off a bit when I saw that Bryant had made a pick. I didn't read this thread's OP recently, just the draft thread. My bad.

so how does the rest of the rounds go after the 4th?

Post #54 » by **Snakebites** » Tue Apr 20, 2010 2:00 am

Its ABBAABBAAB

In about 80 minutes the clock runs out on nba_addict.

To be completely honest I am absolutely not comfortable with the idea of someone in the draft (or a committee of people in the draft) making an autopick at this early stage of the game.

Thoughts on solutions?

make it like NFL (may be other sports also) once your time comes the next teams can start to pick, teams can keep jumping ahead untill you pick

I really really hope that he's deciding on his replacement pick and that is why he's not posting.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna be pretty pissed if he made a pick without reading the outlined rules and then immediately bolted.
