Norm Powell traded too lmao, but he'll probably still get plenty of minutes for Portland.

Just waiting on Oladipo and Lonzo now.

btw Urban im loving Larry Nance Wink

feels good to be competitive in steals for once

Tony Bradley traded to OKC, which means he won't play tonight after i brought him just for tonight rofl

Had to drop him due to the ridiculous amount of injuries I had, he served me well for a while Molenation

At least I managed to pick up Moses Brown :bow:

I don't even see what your strategy is with all of those players if you were consistently great in steals and blocks then i would, but you are not. The rest you mentioned all play a specific role in my team to help put me over the top in categories im strong in. If you had as many good scorers at the top order of your team as i do then you could afford low-level players like that, but nah, you don't, and I'm tied for 2nd and you're 2nd to last

Mostly I think streaming is stupid and I try not to spend too much time on fantasy.

But also that only accounts for 3 of your 8 shit players

You haven't seen me in here criticizing anyone for doing it. It's legitimate. It's my personal opinion to think it's stupid, and my preferred way of playing would be with relatively few changes per week (3 max).

Fact is that streaming turns some close matchups into "who can get a games advantage on the other one". I think that actually adds a really interesting dynamic to the game that some people might like.

But personally i look at fantasy more as a contest on who can build the most effective team, and tweaking that team over the course of the season to optimize it. Streaming doesn't really fit well into that vision because you no longer have to optimize the end of your bench -- it's more effective to stream shitty players (and that's not really up for discussion).

Regardless I only brought it up cuz EG wants to know why I have all these players that might be better use getting streamed. I don't like streaming so I don't do it.

Btw just warning you urban -- Nurkic is coming back tomorrow and he's eating Kanter's value with him

(Actually who knows how much Nurk will play initially and Kanter does OK in backup mins so he might be worth keeping, but fair warning)

by Warrior Fri Mar 26, 2021 3:43 am

The problem with streamers: makes me paranoid when i don't do it Laughing

by Warrior Fri Mar 26, 2021 3:44 am

Look at Westbrook's line Laughing

by Vibe Fri Mar 26, 2021 5:53 am

I think he just doesn't care anymore, as long as there's a triple double somewhere in there

I know that, didn‘t try to trade Kanter because no one rates him so just stuck with him, pretty much my Whiteside this year. My team basically got crippled yesterday.

by El Gunner Fri Mar 26, 2021 6:57 am

Nurkic played poorly when he returned from injury last year, and then he got another long term injury so who knows how he will return now. Kanter has been killing it on the offensive so how are Portland going to balance this out? this position and lack of balancing it out if Nurkic doesn't come back his old self might be their ultimate undoing.

i know we love to praise Luca on here, but we also don't comment enough how much he gets lucky with scheduling and beating up on injured/DNP teams :coffee:

by Warrior Fri Mar 26, 2021 8:00 am

How naive

Luca is pulling the strings

by Vibe Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:01 am

Fantasy Grandmaster Luca :bow:

A good fantasy manager is able to predict injuries weeks in advance

A great fantasy manager knows when the postponements are coming

by Art Morte Fri Mar 26, 2021 2:06 pm

My team's mailed it in this week.

your pickup of Beasley was swift too, i wanted to get in on that

by Warrior Fri Mar 26, 2021 7:03 pm

Full lineups on both sides :bow:

I hope no last minute problems so we can have a real fantasy night

Confident i can claim the points and retain the rebounds and assists. Absolute last chance on FG% tonight although i consider my fate lies more within the defensive stats. A collective meltdown by Oakland would be most welcomed in this regard.

Coby White is next up on the guillotine, my patience has reached its limits

by El Gunner Fri Mar 26, 2021 7:27 pm

overall you have a games advantage for the week but i believe i just need my boyz to put in a solid night so that they don't throw it away over rest of the weekend

and hopefully my streamer Nunn starts tonight, Dragic can go piss off, his old ass can sit out until the playoffs he's been potty this year

Portland are gonna play Nurkic a lot because he's like 1000x better than Kanter lol

Also Nurkic was absolutely insane in the bubble lol, what are you talking about poor? That was probably the best he's played in his career

My team isn't even playing that well this week and no Kyrie this week either and yet I'm even winning points, a cat I've lost I believe every single week

Your team is mailing it in this week

oh yea? perhaps i got my time frame wrong then... he is always in and out with injuries. I remember him looking sluggish and slow not too long ago.. did he play earlier this season? maybe it was then

by Warrior Sat Mar 27, 2021 1:57 am

*sigh*

Another shit night

by CBarca Sat Mar 27, 2021 3:32 am

Yeah he was pretty poor to start the year. Not good at all. He was working his way into shape and starting to improve right before he got injured. But he's been conditioning this entire time so hopefully he'll play well on return. We'll see. I love Nurkic regardless

by Vibe Sat Mar 27, 2021 5:03 am

This is such bullshit. 4 players out again...

Injuries have absolutely murdered me this year. Fuck your healthy teams tbh
