Trades, Recaps, Highlights:
Andrew Bogut (Delonte's Meds) traded for Marvin Williams (Creed Bratton) before start of Week 1.
Marvin Williams and Andrew Bogut was dropped on Week 2 because of sheer suckiness.
Andrew Bogut, realizing that he was a former no. 1 draft pick and angered by Britney Spears lip-synching, goes berserk and averaged 18 pts, 10 reb, 3 ast (2 to), 2 blks, .571 FG for Week 2. Picked up again immediately by Creed Bratton.

Love for the CP3 sucked big time in Week 1 (see results above), only won the TO category.
Doobie and Love for the CP3 are dead last while Donut Factory is the league leader after Week 2.
There can be only one...last placer that is, as Doobie wins to leave Love for the CP3 at the league cellar after Week 3.
Donut Factory is at the top after Week 3.

TyThomas Weekly INJ leaves Brandon Jennings in the inactive bench for Week 3.
Brandon Jennings had 43.5 ppg, 7 apg (4 tpg), 4.5 rpg, .603 FG in 2 games for Week 3.
TyThomas Weekly INJ weeps.

The much anticipated and hyped Week 3 matchup between Delonte's Meds powered by Larry Hughes and TyThomas Weekly INJ led by John Salmons ends in a stalemate as both players showed the awesome tenacity of how much they suck.
Hughes - 9.7 ppg, 5 apg (1 tpg), 3 spg, 2.7 rpg, .333 FG
Salmons - 10 ppg, 3 apg (0.7 tpg), 1.3 spg, 4.3 rpg, .250 FG

TyThomas Weekly INJ trades Andre Iguodala and LaMarcus Aldridge to Creed Bratton in exchange for Kevin Durant and Mehmet Okur during Week 4.
Mehmet Okur was reportedly to be out for some time with the flu just hours after the trade was completed. He is still currently out as of Week 5.
Creed Bratton is the latest embarrassment as it lost all categories except TO in Week 4. Karma?
TyThomas Weekly INJ finally won a matchup after Week 4. Thanks Creed Bratton for the good karma.
Peach Baskets is currently in a 3 week losing streak after dominating the first week.
Donut Factory is still the league leader after Week 4.

Donut Factory still at the top of the league for Week 5.
Love for the CP3 is still the NJ Nets of the league as the resident bottom-dweller from the first week to Week 5.
Peach Baskets losing streak continues to four weeks.
Love for the CP3 puts J.R. Smith on the trading block.

Love for the CP3 needs a PG and puts Mo Williams, J.R. Smith, and Blake Griffin (lol) on the trading block.
Donut Factory still enjoying the top for 5 consecutive weeks after Week 6. It's sickening already.
As the Nets finally get a win and end their 18 game losing streak, Love for the CP3 finally gets out of the league bottom, replaced by Creed Bratton, and Peach Baskets' ends a 4 week losing streak after Week 6

Donut Factory gets his first defeat and his 6 week winning streak finally ends at the hands of Love for the CP3 after Week 7.
Doobie is on a slide as he is now on a 4 week losing streak and captures last place away from Creed Bratton after Week 7.

Doobie as usual shows the suck as he continues to a 5 week losing streak. Doobie is currently the league door mat at last place as of Week 8.
TyThomas Weekly INJ might be following Doobie's lead as TyThomas Weekly INJ is now on a 3 week losing streak after Week 8.

Whore Watch: (Lists the most dropped players in the league) Shout-out to air gordon's momma as the inspiration for this feature.
Peja Stojakovic - 2 (Creed Bratton, Delonte's Meds)
Tracy McGrady - special mention because of being the whore of a tease he is with his comeback
Greg Oden (and his fantasy owners in all leagues) - GO is out for the season. Just when he was contributing, BAM! injured, just like that.
Boris Diaw - 2 (TyThomas Weekly INJ, Delonte's Meds)
Jermaine O'Neal - 2 (Peach Baskets, Creed Bratton)
Spencer Hawes - 2 (TyThomas Weekly INJ - such a tease)
Richard Hamilton - 2 (Creed Bratton - flirt)

Fantasy Studs: (self-explanatory)
This unstoppable psycho should be on your team. I think air gordon and Jackal approves.
Not everyone may agree but TD is reliable, which adds more to his badassery.

STANDINGS: W-L-T (after Week 8)

[Cartar]

I am interested in joining.

[air gordon]

ready to don the asshole title, you pansies

[JaoSming]

what the hell, ill do it

[Doobie]

Same for me <3.

[J@3]

Count me in.

[shadowgrin]

I'll send the PMs on Fri. or Sat. (Phil. time) whether this thing only has six members but hopefully more.
Draft is on Mon. or Tue. (Phil. time). Live draft, if you can't make it just export your rankings.

[air gordon]

are we sticking with the weekly lineup format? btw i think GLove/qballer ran it last year. he probably can renew the league/at least have the archives of what happened last season(s)

[Brave Sir Rubin]

I'll play, I try to be pretty damn active in fantasy.

[shadowgrin]

Sent Qballer a PM here (NLSC) and in the Yahoo one with Doobie since he's active there.
Gave him a day to renew it and add the others, else I'll push through with this.
Draft will be on Tuesday (Phil. time) if QBaller fails and I create a new one.

It'll be similar settings to the one last year. Weekly, as that is more challenging imo.

[[Q]]

sorry guys, that was my fault. i have the draft set for Sunday morning US time (11:15 am PT) if you guys don't like it or agree to a time on Saturday, Monday, or Tuesday i can change

so the league last year had 12 teams including cyanide, doobie, lilach, jao, myself, matthew, shadow (orwhatever you call yourself now haha), sam, gundy, air gordon, airberlin, and someone who i dont know... team name is lolballers and manager name is SpaceFlare. you guys would know more than i would if any of these guys are interested or not. if i could get a quick head count of who's in or out, that would be great. if anybody new wants in, it's cool too. yahoo leagues can only start with an even amount of players and it has to be 20 or less so i'll put a list here (assuming everyone from last year is in)

1. cyanide
2. doobie *
3. lilach (Cartar) *
4. jao *
5. me *
6. matthew
7. shadow *
8. sam
9. gundy
10. ag
11. airberlin
12. spaceflare *
13. jae *
14. Brave Sir Rubin
15.
16.
17.
18.
19.

Very good time for me.

[[Q]]

so Cartar you're in? i'll add you to the list

here's the link for those already in the league

[Cartar]

so Cartar you're in? i'll add you to the list

here's the link for those already in the league
http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.c ... /nlsc09010

I'm already in (Donut Factory).

PS. I was Lliach there, so in that list you counted me twice.

[[Q]]

yahoo added a lot of new features this year (including free live scoring) to keep up with espn. i'll probable add "divisions to spice things up a bit. as of right now, there will be 2 divisions (i'll add more if more teams join) and division winners are automatically in the playoffs, but seeded according to overall standings

[shadowgrin]

Thanks Q. You good.

lolballers-Spaceflare is Money Ballers in Doobie's league. You can email him there if he wants to join this one.

I suggest the other division is named "I Taste This" or "Proof or Ban" instead of Lightning DIvision.

[[Q]]

Brave Sir Rubin, are you Creed Bratton?

looking at last year's season was painful. i lost to air gordon in the finals and if i remember right, we tied one category and split the rest and he won since the tiebreaker is the points category and i never win in pts.

[shadowgrin]

That's Jae.

[Doobie]

Hey don't mean to be annoying at all, and I understand if you can't. But does anyone have a problem with delaying the draft 2 hours?? I work till 4 that day and I hate pre-ranking my player's I always get shitty teams. Just wondering if it's possible.

[shadowgrin]

Doesn't matter Doobie. Shitty team or good team, you always suck.

[[Q]]

it's not a big deal to me if we go 2 hours later.

[air gordon]

Q- i remember. hell of a way to win. good stuff. yahoo stattracker is da best...

the earlier the better on sunday for me

[[Q]]

you know, as much hating as I've done on Tyrus Thomas, i gotta admit his jump shot is getting better.

still looking for about 4 more people to join! if we get 4 more people, we can form a 3rd divsion.

updated list

Will It Shock Or Freeze Division
1. jae
2. jao
3. me
4. SpaceFlare

Proof Or Ban Division
1. Doobie
2. air gordon
3. liliach (Cartar)
