Lawson has been good as a starter stat-wise. Another nice performance tonight with 15 pts, 3 threes, 11 assists, and 4 steals. Plus, Denver has been winning. Hopefully he'll remain the long term PG in Denver.

My team definitely benefited at the trade deadline: Lawson getting a chance to start with Billups traded, Thornton getting minutes by going to Sacramento, and Ibaka becoming a starter with Green traded to Boston.

This is why I was afraid of trading Lawson and Thornton...of course they were miserable most of the rest of the season.

I certainly was tempted to drop Thornton more than once but stuck it out. It'll be interesting to see how he does when Evans comes back.

My team has now won 9 weeks in row with a 5-4 win over floppy this past week, but now up against east who has been dominant and looks to have the #1 seed.

Fools. I intentionally dropped back into the #2 seed, because I'd rather face b-double-dub or theman in the playoffs. It's like I'm beating all of you on a completely different level.

I like how my squad is shaping up...

Nearly competing and I have a lot of youth that could pan into something in a few years. Plus, quite a few draft picks.

Chris' team is looking pretty damn good on paper moving forward... funny how stanford's team looked just as dominant heading into the last two years. Making floppy work for it in his first year... I like it. On that note, looks like we'll need to recruit for tk's replacement...

This is what people say when they lose to a team they're embarrassed to lose to.

Who was I playing?

Post #387 » by **Young_Star11** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 4:45 am

I will probably retire at the end of this season too.

Funny you mention that Jordan. I'm probably out to. At the very least, we'll need a new commish.

My team has no chance against east's team in points, rebounds, or assists, though turnovers and free throw percentage (due to Howard) look to be mine.

How strong is he in those three cats? Compared to the entire league, he's up 49 pts on the next closest team, 32 rebounds, and 9 assists.

Curious as to which team has kept the most players over the years. I was looking at my end of year roster from the 2006-2007 season (my first season in FFDL) and only Marvin Williams remains from that one.

You're up 5-3 on me right now. However, the weekend can change all that. My team has a bad position glut due to a lack of guys who are G/F eligible. Lot of wasted games :-?

I like your team goign forward. A lot of young guys with potential and in good play-time situations. I really regret not making more aggressive moves for Marcus Thornton. Oh well.

You've got some good young pieces and a lot of guys who are sure to improve.

My team is good right now but we all know how fleeting success can be! I'll probably have a firesale of guys over 27 at the end of the season. Hehe.

Gotta love bulletin board material. BTW, we own the season series 2-0.

Looks like you already have.

Going into the season I thought that would be your down fall. I am surprised you are doing as well as you are.

Hehe. Even though I have a lot of PG's and C's, I at least have the best PG rotation and one of the best big man rotations in the league. Even though I don't have a lot of swingman depth, I have the best one in the league =)

It looks like it's going to come down to four categories: fg%, 3s, stls, and blks. I just checked out on StatTracker how we're doing, and it flipped betweeen 4-5 and 5-4 twice in one minute. Only a .002 difference in fg%.

east · Post #398 » by **east** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:09 pm

Close match Ham. Came down to a single steal and block.

Yeah, even with 10 active players yesterday, my team only managed 3 steals and 1 block. Ibaka who had been averaging over 4 blocks per game for the past week was in foul trouble and had 0. fg% was fairly close too with .009 difference. Good game.

theman · Post #400 » by **theman** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:09 pm

Woops. We worked hard to leap frog over Ham to avoid a first round matchup with East. I totally forgot the first two teams get byes. :oops:

Now we need to face dynamoose in the first round.
