Thanks.

Racist? Or simply offensive to a Jazz Fan?

Offensive to a Jazz fan.

I'm betting on Lin because of what I see in him. It's a leap of faith. I saw signs he could be good even before he was a warrior. He's "my guy" and I'm not going to bet against him unless and until he fails.

As a side note, I was in Vegas when lin broke out in NY. I already had a knicks lin jersey and people went nuts when I wore it. It was wild. Oh, and I'm not asian!

His durability is what scares me.

His opportunity in Houston, and his success at running a cast of mid-talent players, are what makes me think it could be a good pick.

I like the little heart by Channing Frye.

If you told me last year that this would be my team this year, I'd say, "You just made up half of those names". That's probably not a good sign.

It does look like a dynasty league team - 3 rookies and 4 second year players.

Thanks Wes and David for signing in.

Hopper, you're the last man standing.

PG - Isaiah Thomas
SG - Aaron Afflalo
G - DJ Augustin
G - DeMar DeRozan
SF - Kevin Durant
PF - Kevin Garnett
F - Nicolas Batum
F - Gerald Henderson
C - Andre Drummond
C - Nikola Vucevic
Bench - Avery Bradley
Bench - Nolan Smith
Bench - Donatas Motiejunas
Bench - Tobias Harris

Very weak at center. But young so hopefully healthy. Hopefully Bradley returns quick. Harris, Smith and Bradley all did well when they got time last season. Smith, Harris and Motiejunas were all very good in summer league.

Funny story though I was all set to pick Anthony Morrow, I had checked several times and never saw him picked. Just before I picked I realized he went something like 204.

Nolan Smith did good as a starter. 11 pts, 4 asts 2 rbs. He should be primary backup to the rookie Lillard and when Lilliard stumbles can get some more burn.

Was anyone else surprised by this?

I know it's terrible, but the stars did align that way...
- GS fan (Bay area has a pretty decent Asian community)
- Good with computers (works for Yahoo! fantasy sports...)
- Basketball fan....this one may be a reach, but when I hit up the Target Center for a Wolves game, I can't ever believe the amount of Asian persuasion at an NBA game.
- And I always thought those weird Bunny cartoons in the avatars were Japanese cartoons.

I Apologize if anyone is offended by this post. Feel free to remove if so.

But then floppy is not Asian, if that's what you are trying to imply.

One of those times that he really annoyed me, I google stalked him and based on the pictures found, I am able to confirm that he in fact is not Asian.

I'll give you Dragic and even Galinari/Batum being a draw, but Freeland can not be rated currently any higher than Drummond. At best that is a draw..

But no way can you can rate Odom higher the Henderson. Henderson has improved every year in the league and will likely improve more this season. Henderson out preformed Odom in every category other than turnovers. And Odom is getting worse, fast.
