Clint Capela being the only C on the Hawks roster and getting 26 mpg is infuriating, especially when Gobert was going to be our pick but was taken one pick prior.

Just the modern NBA. JoVal was literally a top 30 player last year playing 28 mpg. Just have to hope Capela produces when he's on the floor.

Well, he wasn't draftable. Honestly I was worried 4th round was too high but I think I'm on the right side of it so far. 

Weird note: his FG% has been atrocious so far. But I'm pretty much punting that every week so, whatever.

I would like to say that I saw this coming with Miles Bridges but the truth is I'm just a fucking homer.

RJ Barrett 35/8/6 on my fucking bench. Wasn't paying attention I guess and played D Rose over him. 

God dammit.

It was only his career fucking high in 133 games played in the NBA. No biggie.

well, maybe he's about to start doing that shit on the regular now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes that is definitely the silver lining. 

[Baboontyme 2815]

I fucked up too z. I got caught up in some euphoria and forgot to make some subs and I could have had a full lineup tonight instead of having a guy on the bench. Still trying to figure this thing out. I don't think it would have mattered but what would have mattered is if Kerr would have let Dray play 3 minutes in the 4th and get his two dimes and he could have fucked around and got his triple double.

You're beating my fucking ass so it's whatever. I'll be lucky to take 3 cats. 

Also I remembered my favorite ESPN fantasy rule - you can't add someone and play them if any games have started on the day of. 

Oh well. Long season.

Wondered why my add of Theis wasn't taking. This esplains it. Thanks. 

This is kind of fun. I think I like it. 

[ztejas 43524]

Something else that's dumb - I can't even bench a guy instead of playing him. Westbrook is about to 100% lose me turnovers and unless he has one of 2 steals, 10 free throws or a TD it's going to cost me. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

wait, did you try to bench Russ before he played? because that should work.

It didn't. Maybe it was too close to gametime? It was locked at like 9:18. 

[ztejas 43524]

When you trade players does it also trade their draft/keeper rights? Did we decide on this in previous years?

yeah, a player retains his keeper eligibility even after being traded.

that's correct.  makes trading all the more fun.

Rubio just dropped 37 and 10 on me. 

[ztejas 43524]

At least I got 13 minutes out of Colin Sexton, though. 

[ztejas 43524]

Good one. Falling out of my chair. 

You know - if you pay my entry fee I'll ship him.

i was preparing an offer for you earlier, and involved a couple of healthy big men. ended up not sending it, but i might send something your way this evening.

yeah, 3PM was a very close category in my matchup and i decided to drop Rubio the day before he did that. that one hurt me too.

Part of the reason he went off is that Sexton went out in the first half which kept him on the floor more. Just awesome.

Injuries/Covid has been killing my team lately.

Clint Capela says farewell to my team with 20/15/2 blk on 10/11 shooting. gonna miss you homie. i know BO will take care of you.

Color me shocked as I never would have thought you would have given up one of your precious centers

[shadow_operative 15932]

what the hell is going on with the scores? none of this is right:

 

[shadow_operative 15932]

what an odd way to describe a guy going for 24/21/3:

thanks for chipping in, Christian.

[ztejas 43524]

Fuck Bradley Beal. Singlehandedly tanking my fucking season. Enjoy my $100.

I'd try and trade him but at this point he can pretty much only play better. 

[BigOrange1 6442]

my team has been decimated by injuries.  every day there is more and more red lettering next to their names.

yeah i actually saw that today. just brutal. 

[ztejas 43524]

I'm not sure which one of you is playing Durant against me right now but you're driving a stake into my heart. I'll just have to hope my joy for the 50 pt triple double outweighs my sinking fantasy depression.

Raises hand.

[Baboontyme 2815]

Any thoughts on expanding IR? Deal with it? Fuckin omicron gonna have us either dropping 60% of our teams every week or rolling out lineups with like 5 man games in an entire week. 

[BigOrange1 6442]

i think that's a great idea if its possible to do at this point.  this shit is out of control.

[Radical Larry 28656]

No shit. I had seven players out yesterday.

[shadow_operative 15932]

i just went from having not lost a matchup since week 1 to losing 12-0-0 because half of my team was out all week (and because it happened when i played Rex- i still would have beaten a couple of you lol). so yeah; shit sucks. 

[BigOrange1 6442]

is there anyone opposed to adding 2 more IR spots?

[ztejas 43524]

Yes. Down to add 1 though. 

Waiver/FA is already pretty scarce. There won't be anything but absolue bums left if we go to 5.

[BigOrange1 6442]

that is a good point.  maybe i should just add 1 more IR spot?

[ztejas 43524]

I've been thinking we should have 4 for awhile now. If everyone else is down then I'd say make the change. 

[Radical Larry 28656]

That’s fine with me.

[BigOrange1 6442]

boom, done.

[Baboontyme 2815]

Nice. 2 other suggestions should this not prove to be enough - allow more than 7 adds or whatever it is per matchup period, and shorten the waiver period or eliminate it. Not suggesting we need to do it now, maybe it's wait and see. Just a thought.
