And so it finally comes down to me vs Swedd. It should be a good series. Melo vs Bron for the finally day is going to be exciting.
First LMa goes down and I can't drop him until a day later because he's "undroppable", then I go to add Avery Bradley because I figure two days of him (14 and 15) is better than just one of Thornton (15), only to find out Bradley didn't get added to today's roster for whatever reason so it was a pointless move. Now watch Bradley play great today and suck it up tomorrow.
In other words, I'm doing everything I can to lose this matchup.
Martin and Amare went down just last week. The same thing happen to me too with the adding a guy for today. Since I had two moves left. I thought Ill get 1 today with Favors and make the another change tomorrow but ESPN said well add him tomorrow where he doesnt have a game and you lose a roster spot. So now I have to use both moves to get no extra games.
Sounds about right lol
A few questions for all participants:
How did everybody think the league went?
Happy with the format?
Would you change anything?
Who wants in again next year?
If so, do you want to make it a keeper league?
I like it overall. I would prefer if people were more active. I talked to my friend Keyz on the regular and he enjoyed it alot too. I know me and him would be interested in a keepers league next year.
The only change that come to mind at the time is....
~Take out techniqueal fouls. They are a random stat line that is pure luck from week to week. There are some players that will get some more then others but that is still a category that can determine the winner when this should be about putting together the best possible team. We have to analyse how they play and not how they control their emotions.
~Add Free throws made. With just FT% somebody can go 1-1 and will be at 100% while the other team can go 19-20 which puts them at 95%. That team that went 1-1 will win everything free throw wise.
~Take out TOs. I dont think a team should be penalized for playing their guys.
This will leave us with 9 categorizes so we can determine the winner and leave ties out the game.
I see what you mean by techs and TOs, but I wanted to include two negative categories to make people think about who they pick. Real teams get penalized by having knuckleheads like Dwight and Jack because they rack up techs and PGs like Westbrook and Wall because they're turnover machines. I thought it was a good idea but maybe I outsmarted myself.
I like the idea of FT made idea but I think it'd be better to use that category instead of %, not in addition to. I'll change that for next year.
Anybody else have any input or suggestions? I want to find out how many are interested in doing the league again next year so I can start contacting people about whether or not they want to do a keepers league
i enjoyed it. i hated the technical fouls category. i don't think i'd be a big fan of free throws made, but i'm not sure exactly why.
head to head is fun. i've never done the cumulative stats one (rotisserie i think) but that could be an interesting one to try.
edit: oh and i'll play as long as you guys have room and other people want to.
This is going down to the wire. I just realized there isn't a category tie breaker so we'll see what happens. FG% and Blocks might be the deciding factors
tied 5-5-0 with about 7 minutes left. Seems like Camby isn't playing anymore tonight (only 6 minutes) so I have no shot in the Blocks cat. Hopefully Dragic can pull me ahead in FG%
