BobFinn's Basketball Draft

It's deja vu

Forget the Knicks. That's a tough blow for Matador!

 

Thank you guys so much for not just replacing me, my apologies for not posting or emailing the league before I left for vacation but it just slipped my mind. I see no problems with the picks you guys made for me so far and am very appreciative. Thanks!

 

good to see you back ssg.

Smeggster, you think you can send Finn Cat's list since it looks like we wont get to him tonite?

Hopefully we can get back to your pick before you wake up tommorow.

Maybe we can all make ourselves available Monday night? I dunno, just doesn't seem possible right now. Seems like there will always be someone who is a no-show.

 

Damn you Crisco for taking Cassell. I guess it wouldn't have mattered since DoD was eyeing him too. At least one of my next two is still on the board.

Clutch, it's pretty much just like last year. Guards are guards. Forwards are forwards, although some forwards are centers(I don't like this aspect, but think it will end up benefiting most of us). Finn is going to set up the head to head matchups that we'll have weekly. As for ranks, do your own ranking. The Yahoo rankings seem to be more rotisserie(sp?) oriented. You should do your own rankings anyway.

OT, Another Brother's show was fantastic. He was hilarious on stage and a great person to meet afterwards. Some heckler tried to get under his skin, but AB effortlessly maintained his composure, took charge of the situation and sent the spouting moron running back to his mommy! I had such an awesome time and can't say enough good things about the man. Much props to AB for the tickets, an unforgetable time and a new friend.

 

love the table Clutch, however unless highlighting it is there a way to read it as it is all white on white for me ????

 

Hey SF3, see this?

Just when the Phoenix Suns were beginning to be optimistic about this season, Stephon Marbury crashed again. Following a summer in which he spent 10 days in jail for DUI after having surgery on both ankles, the left ankle is causing him more problems again and surgery appears inevitable. Say what you will about the luck of the draw, but the Marbury-Jason Kidd swap will be a cactus in their side until Marbury is moved again

Just thought I'd pass that along.

 

How recent is that news, Behad? This is from Friday:

Marbury plans to put off ankle surgery until offseason

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Stephon Marbury will play with a sore ankle this season unless the pain becomes too much to bear.

''He can play on it. It comes down to pain tolerance,'' Suns coach Frank Johnson said Friday. ''He went through it last year and was able to deal with it.

Marbury underwent surgical procedures on both ankles during the summer, but pain caused by bone spurs in his left ankle has persisted. He consulted with a foot specialist in New York on Thursday and decided to play on the sore ankle rather than have corrective surgery that would have sidelined him for the start of the regular season.

The Suns will monitor and treat Marbury's ankle as the season progresses.

''After the season I'm going to get it cleaned out,'' Marbury said. ''It is tough on myself, but I'm going to let it go and play and do whatever I've got to do to play because I think we've got a really good team this year.''

Marbury started for Phoenix and scored 15 points in 21 minutes in a 97-93 defeat against the New Jersey Nets on Friday night. He looked good moving on the court in the Suns preseason opener.

''I wish I was totally 100 percent,'' Marbury said. ''I felt all right. I was happy to be out there on the basketball court. I love playing basketball. It's a really good thing I have going for me.''

Marbury averaged 20.4 points last season for the Suns, who acquired him from the Nets in the Jason Kidd trade.

A seven-year veteran, Marbury played in all 82 games last season for the Suns but was hampered by nagging pain in his left ankle and a sore hamstring. Shortly after the season ended, Marbury underwent surgery on the left ankle

''It hurts. Some days it might be worse than others,'' Marbury said. ''I have some pain, nowhere near as bad as it was (before surgery).''

Marbury and his teammates had another pain to deal with prior to their game against the Nets.

Because of bad traffic in the New York metropolitan area, they spent more than two hours on a bus and did not arrive at the Meadowlands until less than an hour before tipoff.

Stephon Marbury - G - Phoenix Suns Oct 11

Stephon Marbury has decided not to undergo surgery on his left ankle. He'll play through the injury again this season.
Marbury started tonight's game and had 15 points in 21 minutes. Marbury's ankle problems could cut into his fantasy value, but don't be afraid to select him if he starts to slip in your draft.

 

I got that from the CBSsportsline article posted in the Game Forum about centers. It was dated Friday, October 11th.

 

Ok guys, I'm going to take Glenn Robinson.

 

TheCat... you're up!

His list, anyway.

 

You both put in 15th rounds. I thought it was 12. Am I mistaken?

 

Good point. Maximum number of players on a team is 12, so I guess 12 it is...

 

It looks ok on my computer, but you just need to change pick 29 to S. Cassell.

 

Is The Cat coming back soon? I'm getting antsy.
