yeah man.. Rubio was my glue guy.. he filled it up across the board me. Especially if you look at my roster he was my only true pt guard.
you can have any strategy in the book.. but it ALWAYS comes down to:

Strong draft, healthy players and luck.

[GT Eye]

Aztecas.....the 1999 Knicks of our fantasy league!

[beng]

2nd year in a row. lost key guys goin into the playoffs.

i'd be more upset if there were money on the line

congrats beng! rookie of the year cinderella!

Thanks bro.

I can say that my Eric Gordon panic move didnt kill me... but it may hurt me in the final. Already made some moves to shore up my SF/SG situation... but it looks like Ive lost Gerald Wallace now. Crazy... are there always this many freakin injuries??? I lost like 5 or 6 guys in the last 3 weeks!

My buddy at work told me to immediately retire from all fantasy sports if I win this thing since I will have used up a lifetime's worth of luck ...I drafted 12th, some Im pretty happy I made it this far.

[GT Eye]

I was wondering why I didn't get Eric Gordon and i see that Fresh got him for $100

lots of injuries. theres always injuries. i lost half my team the past 2 weeks in another league where I made the playoffs. sucks.

hope the finals matchup comes down to the last day! good luck to both!

well, i came up short. he left a game early due to back spasms..
thanks for puttin it out there that you dropped 80 on him.. no point in holding onto faab funds at this time of the year! LOL

i lost by .001 in fg% and 1 assist. had dragic/c.lee goin the last game of the night too. just came up short on both.

as always, fun season though. i'll def commish again next year if people are down to play.

Time to sink the titanic!

I'm in for next season again.

Hopefully I can skip that damn injury bug, though.

[dtmprojk]

Coming in I feared yinka, m, and dtm. Now I fear only yinka . What was your pick last year yinka?

for the record.. IF we were matched up this past week, i would've beat you 8-5.

I would have made some executive decisions and moved some players to match up against you. different line scores.

I'm down. We need to cut two teams though.

I liked having more teams. Makes research and player pick up that much tougher (and rewarding)

But if the extra teams are zombies, it just takes up good players.

[6603]

But if the extra teams are zombies, it just takes up good players.

That is how you get 100 wins, with 4 by weeks with 13 wins.

[6603]

Plus, we went from 8 to 14. 12 is good. I would rather go with 10.

[dtmprojk]

I like having more teams, BUT ALL managers have to be active the whole season to keep it competitive.

otherwise with 8-10 teams, everyone is too stacked in my opinion.

[beng]

Damn... If Im gonna lose it would be nice if I won a FEW categories

[6603]

You'll get your wish. LaMarcus and Harden are both injured. My two best players.

[6603]

Crap now Lee is out. My big three are out. Two more games to go.

[dtmprojk]

dude, relax. its in the bag.

[beng]

I agree! Ill need two EPIC days to make it interesting

[Big M]

Just an FYI to dtm, I'm winning the 3rd place game today.

DTM we both had our best weeks. Who do we stack up against each other.

[GT Eye]

Congrats Azteca!

[fourthchirpin]

congrats. i find it funny that the 2nd place in the season got 8th of the whole thing... I think keeping galo hurt me.

who? you mean how?

it was close...real close, but I would've beat you 7-6...

but I wasn't in the finals... Congrats on first place Aztecas!!

and shoutout to beng who joined his first fantasy basketball league and came in 2nd place

[dtmprojk]

i've been in enough leagues to know that the regular season means one thing.. a ticket into the playoffs.

once you get in the playoffs, its health and luck...anything can happen in the playoffs.

[beng]

The cinderalla story has a terrible train-wreck, nightmare ending in the finals

For one, I had way too many Nets on my team. Two, Aztecas had an absolutley EPIC final week. His team poured it on every single day. Not even on lull all week to allow me a way to catch up a little. Three, losing Mo Williams, Gerald Wallace, Luke Ridnour and Rodney Stuckey in the final three weeks really set me back. Its suprising I even made it past dtm... I made like 10 transactions during the regular season but I hit my transaction cap every week of the playoffas because of my injuries.

Great season... a lot of fun... and thanks for expanding the league for me. Ill be back again next year if you have room

[6603]

Thanks gents. It was fun. The funny thing was I expected to win it last year ( I had a better team) but injuries and the Carmelo trade ruined me.

This season I didn't expect to win it after I picked Jackson and Frye and they had a terrible starts. Even with 14 teams I still managed to pick up some quality waiver players.

Ready for next season.

[Big M]

Congrats to the champ!

[Ryan D]

Congrats to the champ!

I hope next year I can avoid the injury bug.

[GT Eye]

Is there gonna be a league this year?

[2.0smurf]

I hope so!
