Lakers v. Heat

Should be two okay games tonight.

NBA Trade Winds

I think they picked SA as being the biggest threat to LA. It’s looking more and more like Dallas, Denver, Utah, and maybe Phoenix are the teams to worry about as the season progresses and as seeding starts to play out.

Spurs are a team that you won’t see at their best until the end of the season, provided they stay healthy. Too many new faces, I think we have a lot of talent and the best bench in the game. Hopefully things shape up better when the playoffs come around, right now they still make a lot of mistakes. Not taking care of the ball either (18 turnovers yesterday)

On a fantasy note, how many teams are not playing (i.e. not setting lineups) in the Fun League? How should this be handled? What do you do with quality players that are being benched? Should the commish take over those teams or just let them go?

Will these questions be destroyed by answers?

I think there should be a dispersal draft, but I know why people would oppose it.

lol @ utah being a “threat” to LA. utah sucks, man. they’re just a shadow of their former selves now. denver is the only team that LA has to worry about imo.

LA will pretty much either sweep or win in 5 games over anyone that’s not denver. denver vs. LA conference finals will probably be a 7 game-series. carmelo is good enough to get the job done himself should they end up taking the series.

but i think that’s a series that can go either way.

I thought the possibility of Jerome James going back to the Knicks was pretty funny.

I dont think Utah sucks. This team is capable of winning of 50 games. They just have to stay healthy and consistent. They’ve got the talent.

pretty much my thoughts on the Lakers and Nuggets

and yea, Utah sucks, fuck the Jazz

If you see someone not playing try to tell me as soon as possible.

If people aren’t playing and continue not to play, I will give their team away AKA pull a Charlotte Hornets.

Jae has been totally absent of all league activities this year which is kind of sad, but I think it has to do with his mom maybe having cancer.

Morph and Spidey have just been setting their lineups and not chatting or anything which also makes me sad.

I have been updating my guys daily but not as active as last year with everything else.

Yeah you’ve been playing.

Everyone has been pretty much playing, some people just don’t talk. That’s all. That is why you have Geo, Kim, and Ckrazy. Also Cornbread’s owner. They talk constantly.

I’ve only really noticed people leaving a player on the bench on nights when they only had 2 or 3 slots filled. But no signs of anyone flat-out not playing.

They may not be able to fit that player into their lineups because of retarded team rosters.

I saw Kim do that a couple of times because he had no other PG or something.

I noticed KG was benched lastnight despite the PF slot being empty.

He is on Morph or Spidey’s team. YOU GUYS BETTER SET YOUR LINEUPS DAMMIT. We went through this last year!

Utah wearing green tonight.

More on stupid ESPN and injury reports.

ESPN says “Kevin Love WILL play Friday.” And yet they list him as “O.”

Jesus Christ these fuckers.

Kevin Love will come back tonight. http://www.startribune.com/blogs/78532477.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUqPk4DyCc75DiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUr

Interesting. I never saw this version of the Sixer uniform before. They should’ve gone with these.
