Your injuries this year seem like real injuries and not just end of year bullshit. There is definitely some end of year bs starting to creep in but not to the point we need to move the playoffs back an entire month imo. I was still figuring my team and lineup out a month ago. Moving it back a week or two would be less extreme but I'm not sure it's necessary? What do others think?

March 15Mar 15 Yeah, I'm pretty much cooked at this point. Mitchell sat out 2 games so far this week, Ty 1. Jaylen Brown, John Collins and Poeltl out tonight. Fox is done for the year. Just an awful streak of injuries in the last 2-3 weeks have derailed my chances at doing anything in this playoff. Not only are they not playing, but I can't make enough moves to fill for them in these absences. On the other hand, Derka and Baboontyme are still neck and neck at a 7-5 with several categories that can flip either way. They will go down to the wire on Sunday night to determine who will play Steve in the Finals.
March 15Mar 15 didn’t do myself any favors today. my sleep is all off again and i didn’t wake up/check my team in time to activate sabonis off the IR tonight. i’d be up 7-5-0 instead of down 7-5-0 without that. bleh.
March 16Mar 16 Author As of right now I'm saying Derka is a big fave. I have to hope he doesn't get any double doubles and I somehow stay on the right side with assists. Edited March 16Mar 16 by Baboontyme
March 17Mar 17 Author That is insane. I got very lucky. At one point when steals was tied Naz Reid turned the ball over when Filipowski was guarding him and the ball wound up in Filipowski's hands and a whistle blew for a foul on Reid. Loose ball foul a millisecond before possession. And then it turned into a blowout and Gobert sat for the entire 4th. You figure Utah is going to play Filipowski for the rest of the game and they were, until he pulled up hobbled with like 4 minutes left. I would have lost the tiebreaker, too. GG Derka. It was entertaining and I really thought you were going to run away with it with your lineup today.
March 17Mar 17 good game baboon, it came down to the very end, can’t ask for much more. good luck to the two finalists, i believe this means we’ll have a first time champion? is that right?

If @mojo wins yes. I won it the year before last. Btw I checked my stats vs mojo for this past period. He would have won by a couple of categories but man nearly every single category would have been within single digits outside of rebounds. Hopefully it will be as close and as fun as this semifinal was.
March 21Mar 21 Author My turn. Not going to win without that one guy playing from Denver. Looking good for you mojo.
March 21Mar 21 I kinda chuckled when I saw Robinson was Out with injury for Derka, but felt bad about it. I just dropped John Collins, because he won't be back before the season ends. Jaylen Brown has been out, Maxey out, Poeltl out every other game. Just a mountain of injuries to wade through trying to make a lineup that has a chance at winning in 6 categories. I thought I would have a chance with Sabonis out and Jonas taking over as Center for the Kings for a couple weeks, but he can't do shit for them. Just unbelievably bad luck Every night against Derka is this: I am rolling the dice with Sandro Mamukelashvili tomorrow night! lol... Edited March 21Mar 21 by Dutchrudder

Also does this when I am searching for Free Agents. i haven’t had this particular issue, but the app was jacked up for me last week. wouldn’t let me make my subs, kept trying over and over and over. it finally did let me make my subs, except that when i went back hours later to check on my team everything had been undone and my i subs were back on the bench. maddening.

March 22Mar 22 Author I uninstalled the damn app and reinstalled and still getting the blank stats. I guess I'll have to dust off the laptop tonight.
March 23Mar 23 although i will say, with this being a two week matchup it’s entirely possible that half of my lineup gets rested, catches covid, falls down a flight of stairs, or spontaneously combusts. have faith.
March 23Mar 23 if we’d started our playoffs on time i’d be in the final matchup and winning. (i was supposed to be on top of that) Edited March 23Mar 23 by Derka
March 26Mar 26 I just found this thread, I thought it was in another section. My two cents: I could go either way on injury spots or bench. We're already scraping for players who are worth a bench spot now and adding more spots adds more lousy players. But more starters/utility players would spread teams out more and reduce the influence of the big players. I haven't had trouble with the app but I do most of my roster moves by computer. Sometimes I feel like I have to double check when I make a move and I have been confused by the "when can I move a player and have him start today" issue. Injuries are always a pain in the ass and I don't see an easy way to deal with them. Sometimes I think two ten week seasons would be fun. Everyone gets a second draft and if you have a good player that gets injured early then you don't have them all season. But I don't see how that would work with four weeks of playoffs. Maybe some modification? Would people be engaged to participate in two drafts? The NBA policy of resting players is really annoying. The NBA fantasy season seems long to me and also kind of felt like it went by quickly.
March 29Mar 29 Author I concede. Not happening. I was holding out hope for a comeback. I'm not sure of any solutions. My injuries during the last period were just injuries. Teams don't really care about seeding and they sit guys with any borderline injuries. I'll be honest, even though this one isn't going to go my way I think it's kind of fun scrambling for scrubs to play down the stretch. It helps the owners who pay attention and are active.

Bump for payout structure. Mojo agreed to chop the $700 10/90 via PMs.

March 31Mar 31 Author @Derka - you 'won' $300 ($200 for Reg Season champs and $100 for 3rd) so you are owed $200 since no one paid in up front. Can you get Timmy and Durdy or Greg to pay you $100 each and have the odd man out pay @mojo $100? @mojo - you won $400 for winning the Ship so you are owed $300. We will have Derka's odd man out friend pay you $100 and then @BigOrange1 and @Capn81 can you two please pay mojo? Mojo can you please PM these guys your venmo? Me - won $300 for Champ runner up. Owed $200. @ITHorn and @Dutchrudder can you please each pay me $100? PM me for my venmo. That should do it for the '24-'25 season. Please everyone remind everyone else in the fall about whether we want to bump the schedule up even more. Thanks all for a great season. Edited March 31Mar 31 by Baboontyme

The 10/90 thing was a joke of course. You are due the Champ winnings which, as specified are $400, minus your $100 entry fee. And yes that would be $100 from Derka's buddy, $100 from Big Orange and $100 from Capn so send them your venmo and if you don't hear back in a timely fashion, like I said, let me know and I'll front your winnings and can wait to collect mine.
April 1Apr 1 yeah i’ll send you your winnings as soon as i get them. i’ve messaged my buddies so i don’t imagine it’ll be too long. 👌🏼
October 1Oct 1 hmmmmm...........if you need one more I might be in? Gonna need some background on rules and such though
October 2Oct 2 If there is a lot of turnover - which it looks like there is going to be - I would heavily recommend we reset keepers.
October 2Oct 2 If there is a lot of turnover - which it looks like there is going to be - I would heavily recommend we reset keepers. I agree.
October 2Oct 2 so far we’ve only lost one person, so let’s not restructure the entire league just yet. that said, i would be in favor of making this the last year for keepers. i absolutely still want my keepers for this season- i traded away a decade of chet holmgren as a keeper to get the keepers i currently have- but i never wanted to switch to a keeper league in the first place. this league wasn’t a keeper league for most of its history, and i wouldn’t mind going back to that, after this season.
