this might be kinda drastic, but should we consider moving the playoffs up by like a month? every time i get this far its like i compete in the playoffs with an entirely different roster then the one that got ke there. so many late season injuries and then people resting and preparing for the playoffs. not really sure what to do about it.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Is the app jacked up for others, too, or is it just me? Started 2-3 days ago on some screens. 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.

yeah i thought joval was about to start dropping 12/15/2 every night, and it just hasn’t happened. 

also, i wanted to add jones last week with how well he was playing, but i needed big man stats so i couldn’t do it. then you added him, and he’s been doing really well against me to start the week, only now *he’s* hurt. the end of the season always goes this way. such a shit show.

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.

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)

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.

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.

2-3 years ago i added talen horton-tucker during the playoffs when he was in utah and he was dropping triple doubles and shit. killing it. pretty sure he was out of the league like a year later lol. fantasy nba playoff heroes will be the most random dudes.

as always, 1st and 2nd have the option to chop the $700 however they want to. i’m still waiting for the day where the finalists agree to go all or nothing so that everyone else can tune in to the show. maybe this year is the year!

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

Keeper Rule - Must be drafted in Round 4 or later last year. You can keep up to 2 players who ended the year on your roster for a round earlier than they were selected last year. If you would like to keep a UDFA, it is a 10th round pick. 

1. @Capn81 - Scottie Barnes (3rd) Jalen Williams (4th)

2. I'm Rick James Bitch - Tim/Friend of Derka (FOD) - Keeping CJ McCollum (7th) and Buddy Hield (9th)

Bumping so I can reference later for payments.

@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.
