2009 PFDC Fantasy Basketball League

[persianbruin]

Speak for yourself buddy. Even as it is now, I consider my team the best in the league, capable of laying a serious "slap in the face" to the Western countries...I mean other teams.
Just as I did last year, I save my best for playoff time.

last year I had a better team until you influenced me with your posts and I made some trades towards the end that didnt pay off. Remember I didnt lose for 12 weeks straight and I lost to Behzad (not you) who beat me with my own players. Not to mention I beat behzad in BOTH my regular season games

This year I dont like my team anyways whoch is why I am not trash talking and as far as the playoffs, I am not saying you are not gonna win. I am saying in the "regular season" before the playoffs its between ommy and demis

[Babak]

Regular season beh dardeh ammamam nemikhoreh.

I 100% agree. but your players still need to perform over those weeks which they did last year

[Masoud_A]

Ok at this point, its pretty clear that there are 3 divisions in the league:

1) top Tier: Its between Ommy and Demis

2) Middle Tier: out of us 5 (behzad, mojo, babak, masoud and myself) 4 will make the playoffs.

3) Bottom Tier: The bottom 4 teams will be joined with the 1 out of 5 in the middle tier that doesn't make it to the playoffs to makeup the consolation bracket.

Disclaimer: any team with a number of serious injuried could drop very very fast.

With all the bad luck and injuries Im getting hit by, Im not even sure I can make the playoffs anymore. Everytime I play one of the stronger teams its the same week I have less games. e.g this week you have 46 games while I only got 39. Mo williams is still out atleast another 2 weeks which makes it much harder for me.

while I dont deny the fact that you have had some bad luck, I too was 2 players short for half the season and sometie even 3-4 players short hich made me fall behind big time and as a result people are not respecting my team anymore. Just look at Demis's post. He mentioned everyone but me

also luck plays a role about who you play and when you play. When I played ommy a few weeks back I either had all 13 players play every day or none (at most 1 player) play the other and as a result I missed out of many players's stats. Unfortunately its the same situation the first week of playoffs which might eliminate me right away

Gambling on T-Mac being traded to New York and getting some decent minutes there. I'm being a little more speculative than usual.

good pick up. I actually thought about it but at this point I am not willing to part ways with anyone on my team. Frye available you say?

Frye is still a decent option with value, so I wasn't looking to drop him. But you need to gamble a little more when it gets late in the year. It becomes all about upside, and T-Mac has more upside than anyone that will be available again for the rest of the year.

The guy was still putting up big triple-doubles literally a week before he went down for the season last year, and came into this season fully healthy. He's even had 2 months to relax and save his legs for the end of the season. But his biggest motivation without a doubt is the fact that he's playing for a new contract next year, so you can definitely expect him to go out and try to put up some big numbers in NY. T-Mac is a bit selfish, which is what you want in a fantasy player.

[Behzad12]

wow ive been so busy lately i dont even have time to be on PFDC, nontheless fantasy

[persianbruin]

If Kmart goes to houston then I own the entire houston backcourt (like monopoly I can buy hotels now )

al thornoton is gonna give me quality #s as a wizzard

edit: ohh damn!! Just read Tmac to the rockets. Ommy vs. babak! evans vs. Tmac! Who will score more might decide your seedings and even more importantly your playoff performance!

[Masoud_A]

Lots more moves today. It's going to be hard figuring out value on some of these guys:

A Jamison (decreased - less touches)
A Thornton (increased? unclear how much PT he is going to get)
D Gooden (decreased - no one seems to want him)
Kev Martin (hard to predict, Rockets need a scorer)
C Landry (increased - should be starting on Kings)
T McGrady (unclear - rumors are Kings aren't planning on using him much)
M Camby (unchanged?)
T Outlaw (decreased - can't see him getting much PT on Clippers)
S Blake (decreased - backup to Baron)

[Babak]

Latest T-Mac rumor is that he wants to play either with the Cavs or Lakers if he is not traded to New York from Sacramento by tomorrow. If the Kings don't trade him, they will just buy him out. He will never play a minute for that team.

Mo Williams, T-Mac, Lebron, Jamison, Shaq might be one of the craziest starting 5's ever.

I think al thornton definitely increased. I mean who is gonna do the scoring in washington with jamison/arenas/butler ALL out!? Al was getting really good numbers last year when he was gettin playing time.

and the rockets dont have a scorer like tyreke evans so K mart should be #1 option

You swung hard, and missed even harder with that Thornton pick up. Masoud came up huge with the Blatche pickup. I picked him up last week in my 14 team league, anticipating that Jamison, Haywood and Butler would all be moved. I've been busy talking shit to the rest of the guys in my league all day after Blatche's 1st game as a starter. He could probably be a top 50 player for the rest of the season.

Thornton sucks, and won't do much in Washington. Especially since Josh Howard is now the starting SF.

lol, werent you the guy who drafted him last year and were bragging about your drafting skills by picking him up!!?? Then I got him via trade from you and before he got injured he was giving me pretty solid numbers. Anyways, I ahve other sleepers in the FA that I would pick if he doesnt work out.

Thinking of missing hard, Babak, just pray to god that Tmac goes to NY cuz if he stays in sac you will ahve to drop him!! He wont get much up there.
