Haha Dirk is a tool. And jesus Reavy, don't say that, I think the skins come in as favourites.

Anyway, huge week coming up for me. Can't afford Redskins to destroy me, need to keep it close but definitely want the W badly. Only problem is the Skins match up well with me so this'll be just as tough as the last two weeks.

I've been very busy making trades and roster moves in an effort to turn around the inconsistency of this team.

Very excited to see how my new players fit in.

Jose Calderon. Purely a system player for me, so he's nothing exciting. With Monta ball handling quite a lot I don't expect Jose to average anything more than 6apg this season but that's what I expected from Nash and got a goose egg there. He's going to have nights where he'll go missing but in the end I feel more comfortable with him on this roster as Irving/Westbrook are score first PG's and Trey is going to take some time to figure it out. He's looked very much like a rookie so far though I expected this as the same kind of thing happened with Kemba Walker (the player I'm hoping Trey turns into)

Terrence Jones is the big exciting pickup, the kid is averaging over 15 points, 8 boards, just under 2 blocks and 1 three since starting. I don't expect this type of production all season but he compliments sooky Howard in that front court.

Joe Johnson: slight upgrade over Wince, don't expect the world but fills a need off my bench.

Patrick Patterson: Kings play twice this week so I won't be able to figure out where he's going but after watching that game against the Clips, he looked very solid.

Win or lose, I like the direction we're going.

hahaha nice write up Reaves. I like all the funimation!

and yeah, Bigs vs Smalls this week in my match up. should be interesting... tearing them apart with blocks, boards and high % ;D

[ardamus42]

I believe that this weeks matchup v eh is the game of the week for me I think ive FINALLY have all my players in tow, and ready for war now in the last two matchups ive scored around 600 pts w 60+ in 3's and 40+ in stls and blks I think im as a balanced team I could be by now having diamonds like middleton coming to me was at least stops the bleeding there im looking forward to my next 2 matchups I thought I was going to be hammered earlier but now im looking forward to this ( lets drop the puck 'eh )

[cam2win]

Great write up Reavers, love the addition of the graphics. Certainly made for an entertaining addition to the analysis.

So my team is aging? I have only 3 guys 30 or over on my squad. With that being said it should be another competitive week for me. Games played appears to be around even as well.

Great write up. A little bit light on the hot chick pics, But still very good.

Surprised to get a 6-3 win Last week with all of my injury and performance problems. I'll take it though.

I appreciate the hockey fight reaver.

Oh it's on breakers. You seem pretty confident so I'm looking forward to giving you a beat down.

Yeah I almost went all in on the Jennifer Lawrence bit for Cousin Larry but I couldn't bring myself to reward Larry for tanking. My write ups were awful but so many teams are in the tank that its tough to come up with anything compelling.

[magohaydz]

just so you guys know... I will NEVER tank. Im too stubborn and competitive to do so. You will ALWAYS get the best out of me, no matter what. Im not in any way saying its a bad thing, but its just not my thing.

[leaguegod]

my team is still gonna be all tanks ahead but i am gonna make some moves to be a little more competitive


basically not gonna have guys on my rosters who arn't playing unless i think they have some keeper potential for next season

IE Will keep otto porter, will not keep dieng, shabazz etc

[leaguegod]

out of interest playmaker, on draftpicklottery.com, we do weighted lottery style, don't we ?


main reason i'm looking to not tank as much is i just ran the lottery 20 times

the worst team with 8 balls picked 1st twice lol
2nd worst picked 1st once

team 5 was the most with 6 times

team 8 (means one off the playoffs) got the first pick twice

i kinda realised the hardway last year tanking is useless but thought this draft is deep next year, why not do it again, but doign that many times made me realize it really kind of is a waste of time lol

Not a bad day, was expecting worse. Few things that surprised me, mostly the ft% and Wade going for 12 assists but other than that I'm kind of pleased there wasn't an early blowout. Glad to get Wince off this roster though, his chucking doesn't work well especially when Trey is going to suck for most of the year with fg%

Yes we do weighted lottery but it only determined the first three picks so that we avoid situations where the worst team potentially picks 8th.

Never worry about blasting my team on the weekly write-ups - I deserve whatever is said. My reward will come next year when I add Jabari Parker and four first-round FA picks. But it's going to be a long, difficult 2013-14 season.

[Canadian Eh]

Good start to the week. Always nice to get out to that early lead. Should be able to put a little more distance between myself and Breakers tonight with a 2 game advantage. Ariza is back from his injury so I've got a complete healthy lineup which never hurts.
