Calderon has been killin' me this season.

 

[Los Angeles]

i should have known to bench him, he only scored 8 points yesterday ... but had 8 ast and 1 t/o (i think), i notice when his point totals are low, he alwayshurts that hammy.

im just irritated in the fact that yahoo fails to update the players in a timely matter so we can adjust our rosters.

i fighting for a playoff spot right now and i know people are playing for big money.

google needs to set up a fantasy league, thats my word.

[luong1209]

So here I am in a predicament once more...Who should I drop?

- Mike Dunleavy
- Wilson Chandler
- J.R Smith

I'd like to hear anyone's input.

Edit: Yes, but he may be available after ASG, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[bangdak]

Sessions going out tonight..

it's fun. its my first year playing but it's pretty easy to grasp. they subtract missed field goals, missed free throws, turnovers from your total pts.
double double's count as +2, triple double count as +3, ejection count as -5

so take into account a hypothetical stat line

Brandon Roy - 30 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 3 turnovers

12-24 FG, 6-8 FT

so taking into account missed field goals (12) and missed free throws (2), plus the turnovers (3) .. you subtract it from everything else.

30 + 6 + 10 + 3 + 1 = 50 .. then subtract it by 17 .. and you get 33 fantasy points.

in my league you can dress 40 people.. so whoever accumulates the most at the end of the week wins.

likely to return on the18th

at me. started BOTH duhon and calderon today...

 

[nike4kja05]

nat rob

33 pts, 15 dimes, and 9 rebs

 

[paul is on tilt]

Damn these short weeks. I am losing my matchup 3-5. I could be winning a few categories if I had a couple extra days. They're right there for the taking,too. I know there's a few games on the schedule tomorrow but I only have Tyrus Thomas and Derrick Rose playing for me tomorrow. The other guy has 6 playingfor him. Not cool

.

 

[thasoleful1]

should i drop haslem for hakim warrick or pickup felton back up?

 

[parada45]

Hate the short weeks 2 man!!!

 

[Los Angeles]

im up 7-4 going with 2 players playing today and my opponent has 3.

i can get the sixth spot with this win

 

[Los Angeles]

alright guys, ive been proposed:

give: tony parker, josh howard, al horford
receive: carmelo anthony, mike beasley (

) , tyson chandler

haslem is a two trick pony, but he's usually consistent.
warrick is a bit streaky, but gets starter's minutes
felton has been solid and continues to get starter's minutes, but will have stretches of terrible FG%

i'd go with felton

no dice, IMO.
you can wash 'melo and howard.
of course, chandler is out, and beasley is way too inconsistent
tony parker is pretty much irreplaceable, and horford is a good source of blocks

 

[bangdak]

soleful: haslem gives a double double or close to it every night. waricks been on fire lately, and felton gives dimes+boards. but his fg% KILLS me.
bright nikes: i might be a bit biased because chandlers ft% is horrendous. beasley sometimes can have great nights, and nights like yesturday when he cant hita field goal as if his life depened on it. melos been on fire lately, but im not so sure how long he can keep it up, so try to offer the injury pronejhowad+someone else for melo.

 

[nonstoptalk]

Short week is absolutely killing me this week.

 

[jordan201]

Yay or Nay?

I give:
Durant
Dirk

I get:
Granger
Emeka
Aldridge/Jose Calderon

 

[gregodensbedpan]

damn that's a tough one. i'd keep your players.. calderon's been getting injured quite a bit this year.
