My bench sucked and now with Bosh out I'm forced to start Roy Hibbert. LOL. Second year in a row for me that I drafted him and did not have him for the second half of the season + playoffs. If he's back in the NBA next season he'll be a definite Do Not Draft for me.

It will be interesting to see what percentage of league winners had Curry on their team.

Mr Axel, I bet you are playing fantasy basketball for a long time. Have you ever seen 1st pick-teams to win 16 + teams leagues ? I personally haven't. The values between their picks are huge. Unless Curry has 12 3PTM games for the entire playoff period, with his season averages I think Curry and Lamrock's team can be beaten.

Well, what makes you think Curry couldn't do that? Bigger risk Is having him rested since they clinched already

2 average mid-round players could get Curry's number in a week. The rest of the team must be a factor too. That's my oppinion. I don't see GSW resting Curry randomly if they still have the chance to get that 72-73 W by the end of the season. Non-contenders ( Except maybe Portland, somehow) were the only teams to defeat GSW and I think they are well aware now. Resting Curry against the Spurs for example wouldn't be the best idea either. Anyhow, Curry is a fantasy gold mine.

If you want a truer sense of Curry's perceived value beyond first pick, just look at auction draft results. Personally I thought it was insane what people were projecting of him for the same reasons you've already mentioned, but he has already exceeded projections by a long margin. Curry has been resting all season in the fourth quarters so team success has not hindered him much. The Dubs are also set on breaking the Bulls record so I see him still getting similar minutes down the stretch.

You'd be hard pressed to find a combination of mid round picks with his scoring, play making, steals, and percentages.

It doesn't matter what kind of monsters Lamrock has in Curry and Draymond. Los Toros is god.

I'M GOING TO TURN THAT AROUND NEXT WEEK, TRUST ME. I JUST NEED 3 40PTS+ GAMES FROM LOWRY, THAT'S ALL

Jeez the playoff race is close. I jumped form 12th to 8th last week. Didn't expect to still have a chance.

Re: NLSC Live '16 (Fantasy Basketball)

Tue Mar 08, 2016 5:31 am

I could be wrong, but I don't think you have a chance lol. I think playoffs takes top 2 from each division and our division has already been clinched.

I'm also incredibly salty about not making playoffs and hate the playoff format. :cussing:

Re: NLSC Live '16 (Fantasy Basketball)

Tue Mar 08, 2016 7:59 am

I don't know why you are complaining. Division winners are guaranteed spots, but otherwise it's just top 8

Re: NLSC Live '16 (Fantasy Basketball)

Tue Mar 08, 2016 10:59 am

Oh what? 8 teams make it? Since when?

Edit: Oh, since last season, I guess. I never noticed.

I still don't particularly care for the division thing, but that's just me.

Re: NLSC Live '16 (Fantasy Basketball)

Tue Mar 08, 2016 11:18 am

Wow. just 1 week to go and all of my division teams could have playoffs team record. :lol: I hope that happens.

It turns out I just needed Jay Green. What a beast
Lance Stephenson looks like he is turning his career around for me. Teams decimated by injuries are fantasy gold mines

Wow mondays. You stand the best chance at dethroning me this year. Fortunately I don't have to meet you until the Finals. In the meantime let me deal with Los Toros and airBerlin COMEBACK.

phatgeezer, what happened. :shock:

Playoffs are already a success for me this year. Hope I can give the 1st place a run for his money.

Re: NLSC Live '16 (Fantasy Basketball)

from 17th halfway into the season to a 6th place finish. :cheeky:

ugh, just saw Hayward is out. sigh.

Re: NLSC Live '16 (Fantasy Basketball)

Here's hoping my 4th placed team won't be a fluke.

So Marc Gasol is injured for Len Bias Coke Dealer. When you lose a player like that and a second round pick, you are already in deep trouble. But I see Len Bias Coke Dealer hasn't touched his lineup for weeks and he is still starting Marc Gasol. Yet, he made the playoffs and he is giving Los Toros a decent fight in the first round. I am cheering for this guy

So are we not doing a tournament bracket this year? If not, that means another year for me as the reigning champ!

It's gonna be close between me and Brick House, but if I do get past this round, I'll be in decent shape as I'll actually sign some players who are healthy. :P

Grats, airberlin. Ironic you were the one that stopped my 4peat run. COMEBACK definitely suits you. :lol:

Well, I am hoping it'll be mondays vs berlin in the finals. Gluck to yall though.
