My apologies to the managers that may have received a barrage of declined trade emails. I went through each team to clear all trades since the deadline has passed.
Alright, the first round of the playoffs are set: SamCassell and Fade's Cyberfish get byes for winning their divisions. Porpoise Plungers vs. Sucka Free PhiSlammaJamma vs. Capitol City Pimps I'm coming to reclaim what is mine bisshes!
Looks like the Plungers are pulling the 5 - 4 upset over Sucka Free, making it a clean sweep over Sucka on the season. PSJ-Pimp is a closer matchup but it appears like Pimp should prevail. If so, we're looking at the following round 2 matchups: (1) SamCassell v (5) Porpoise Plungers (2) Fade's Cyberfish v (3) Capitol City Pimps.
With Kobe hobbling, Greg Popovich being Greg Popovich and Lowry coming back, I have a bad feeling about my game with Fade.
My team has issues too. Bargnani, Thornton and Nene are all nursing injuries this week and are undependable. Hard to say what's going to happen.
Lowry coming back, cutting into Dragic's minutes, is going to make the final 2 weeks interesting for both our teams. I'd guess the Rockets are going to play a good amount of 2 PG sets, if Lowry's conditioning is up to it.
Got news that Kobe would be out earlier this morning, so I decided to bench him and I have a feeling Pops will sit Parker this week too so I'm rolling with the C squad this week and hoping for the best. Fantasy playoffs suck.
Wish I'd seen the D Howard news in time. In related news, Glen Davis is listed as PF-C on the official NBA page, and I'd like to see him get that eligibility in our league. Wouldn't help me this game but maybe my guys can pull a miracle out.
If their game hadn't started yet, I'd normally let you swap them out. Unfortunately Davis isn't listed as a C here, which is what we've gone off of all season long, so no can do.
