anybody? i’ve got someone enquiring about trading for one of my keepers but i don’t want to do it if we’re trying to make that a rule. otoh i defintely want to pull the trigger if it’s not a rule and we’re going to have our yearly late season arms race.

ok so including this matchup we have three matchups remaining in the regular season. i’m just gonna go ahead and say we shouldn’t make any more trades. 

apparently half the league is no longer filling out their lineups. awesome. not to mention that the two guys in this league who happen to be my homeboys have failed to fill out their lineups every single time they’ve played my closest competition. ugh.

I mean my opponent has left 29 points on the bench through 4 nights this week. He's currently 218 points behind and down 10-2. 

I have forgotten to set my lineup multiple days this season and it has cost me cats. You aren't not finishing first, anyway.

Are we officially in the playoffs now? As in, I’m done for the year?

I noticed Jr was starting Killian Hayes the other day and told him he needed to pick someone else up. I should just take his phone and set his lineup for him after he goes to bed.

yeah, this caught me off guard, but the playoffs do start today. in the past the playoffs would have started last week, but last year we only had 8 teams and the schedule changed, and apparently nobody remembered that and we are in the final four weeks (semifinals and finals) of our season.

Left a triple double on IR. And here I am criticizing my kid.

I left some shit on the bench Monday as well. 

It won't matter - I'm cooked. Injuries have just murdered me.

You do have a ton of injuries. Giannis sitting out not helping. Not sure if you saw but Ausar is OFS with a blood clot if you want to use another IR slot.

It's not gonna matter. Jalen Johnson out tonight. Ant DTD now with his finger. Already lost Poeltl, Sengun, Sharpe for the season. RJ Barret's missed 5 straight after losing his brother.

There's just not enough in the tank any way you slice it. I'll be lucky to steal 3 or 4 cats.

Like at least half my team is FA streamers.

this is my small consolation prize for also running into the injury buzzsaw this week. Scooped him up after you dropped him. You can have the playoffs but I keep the Ginga. 

yeah that injury buzz saw aint no joke. gobert, jokic, nurkic, cade, and jimmy have all missed time/are out for me this week. i wonder if this new goofy ass nba scheduling has anything to do with it.

I think we talked last season about moving the playoffs up two weeks. This is just dumb.

agreed. it’s absolutely out of control. next year we will definitely move the playoffs up by two weeks. the finals features malachi flynn and sam hauser vs trey lyles and kevon looney. that’s craptastic.

Not so fast my friend, I just picked up Peyton Pritchard to start in place of Loon.

he was one of my studs during the semifinals lol. playoff fever: catch it!

Petition to half the buy-ins and money given out this season. This is fucking dumb. I've finished 2nd in the regular season two straight years and I'm paying money to play in this league. My entire team got gutted before the playoffs. 

No one else that plays fantasy has playoffs this late.

Going to take a minor miracle at this point. Oh well. 

Can someone remind me again of the keeper rule for FA pickups?

you can keep them in round 11 iirc. it’s somewhere between 10-12.

let’s all agree right now that nobody adds KAT to their roster. that would be a really cheap move to do during the finals/third place matchup.

I did not realize what had been going on with Derka. Damn. He is going to win this championship. Do you have a way to get in touch with him @ztejas so we can get him paid?

hello fantasy basketball players.  you all did well and should be proud.  you should be proud that you almost did as well as derka.  but you did not.  you have failed.  you sicken me.

his venmo is blake-ross-24

he can't post it himself because of reasons.

good day to you.

@RexWilson where ya at buddy? 

This is pretty simple then. 

Regular season champ is Derka, owed 200. He will collect from his boys in real life. 

Champion is Derka, owed 500 minus his own buy in and 4 people need to send him $100 each. That would be @RexWilson @Dutchrudder @ztejas @Capn81. Please do not PM Derka but Venmo him. 

Second place is me, owed $200 minus my own buy in, I am owed $100 which Fish Friends will pay me in real life (eye roll) 

Third place is money back, so @BallamaticBevo is square.

Please check in when you have paid. Hope we can run it back next year with a tweaked playoff schedule.

derka has alerted me that a deal was struck to chop the championship pot at 400/300 (instead of the pre-arranged 500/200) so it seems you're owed a hundo more than you initially thought.  he wanted me to pass that along, as a continuation of his relentless efforts to poison this website.

Forgot about that. Let's get the champ paid up and I'll worry about that later.

fun times again errbody. Let's all get back for next season and add some new blood. We can roundtable some improvements to the league including moving the playoffs up and reducing roster size back to pre covid levels

to whomever hasn't paid, go ahead and pay.  don't make me send in the brute squad.

Wait so who are we paying? One of us needs to pay you and one pays Derka?

I'm not playing again unless there are some changes made.

we need to move the playoffs up a couple of weeks, the title keeps being decided by back ups who suddenly play 35 mpg as the regular season winds down.

Yeah that's a big thumbs up. I was thinking more that there was some chatter about the keeper rules and I'm fine with them. Or changing them. Looking forward to NBA!

what did you have in mind?

  • Author

Jr is out this year. I did not play two teams last year but I would be this year after the draft. 

I'm not that interested in playing for $100. If it was free or a $20 League I wouldn't mind, but it's kind of pricey for what is IMO a really weird format. I like keeping up with the league and the game, but we need to drop triple doubles as a stat and reduce roster sizes so that the wire isn't so barren.
