Saddiq Bey, 19 points and 6 boards. Bey's last three games: 20, 21, 19 points on 50% from the field. My wing depth is looking sharp.

Wonder if BAF will take into account these new officiating calls on fouls and turn lillard/harden/Booker into sub 20 point scorers...

I doubt it. Silver's going to have to get this mess cleaned up. His little rule change is hurting the product and that will not be tolerated.

My obvious questions is how much of a uptick will Bey and Reddish get...if any at all? They are both averaging Jerami Grant type points per game this season.

If i had to guess based on past years, Reddish will likely be a 2.5 stars and Bey will also likely be 2.5 stars both getting 3 star potential

That will be a bummer. I think they should both be 3.0. They are both better than JRich in my opinion.

Bey was 1.5 stars last year, it be very unusual if he got a 1.5 star bump. Reddish has a chance but i think he will fall just short

But the rule changes have been great for the pro... oh. Ohhhhhh. I see. Ok.

I did not invent this saying, "its a league of superstars". This change has hurt a few of them. That is my point.

I get it but don't agree. It is what it is. Since its a keeper league, my wing depth is still looking great with Bey, Harris, and Reddish.

At least it is not like Embiid going from 5 stars to 4.5 stars to being 3.5 stars this upcoming season..

Are we doing the bubble games tonight and just letting the schedule be a week behind?

I will not say I may not end up blowing these Pacers up. It won't be to tank though; it will be to make my own mark. I simply hate losing.

You should probably buy him out so he can go play for a contender

The non-basketball plays were hurting the game though. The excessive free throws were not popular among die-hards nor casuals - players playing for the free throw. It's just not fun to watch.

next thing they need to stop is intentionally fast break fouls. Make them 2 shots and the ball just like a flagrant. If you aren't making a play on the ball and its solely to stop a fast break it should be penalized.

Fast breaks are some of the most exciting plays in basketball way too much fouling to prevent fast breaks.
