bmags Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 When they got blown out by the Milwaukee Bucks I knew it was over. Usually even team full of retreads gets unusually hot for 3 games out of 34...not these dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 9, 2014 -> 11:27 PM) Rivalry is way too new and too lopsided in playoffs to be "best." It's just fun and intense, for now. Need that "Jordan beats the Pistons" moment for it to really be great Does the Riley, Zo, Hardaway Heat ring a bell? We handed their asses to them back then, then eliminated defending 07 Heat champs in a sweep, now they've handed our asses to us in recent years. This isn't a new rivalry. To me, rivalry means franchises, as in Bears vs Packers, not Peppers vs Rodgers. Same in hoops, IMO. Edited March 11, 2014 by MexSoxFan#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making for maximum non-deffense. 2) the absurd, "Around your back" dribble that only works on white dudes under 5' 6" (Biebs prime opponents) 3) The supreme level of flop. 4) Defenders "Wha-happened?!" look at the camera. 5) Biebs triumphant superman flex and the joy not seen since wittnessing a child use the potty for the first time.

I honestly don't like category scoring. This kind of scoring makes you get efficient players (since it's pretty much un-adjusted PER), but doesn't force you to build a well-rounded team like you'd have to do in categories. It's also a lot easier to see who's valuable and who isn't. I had to get a few new people this year because the guy who won the league last year left (he thought it was too boring).

Jake Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah, I like category scoring because it's not readily apparent how good a guy is. There's also a degree to which you have to guess, but as a for instance you'd have to research to realize that Josh McRoberts is a nice mid-to-late round fantasy players because no one counting stat jumps off the page.

The Heat are clearly the best team in the league, even if the record doesn't indicate that, so if you can beat them in a hard fought game, it's worth getting excited about, even if it doesn't win a championship. s***, the Yankees will celebrate a walk off homer, but you're saying they shouldn't because they've won 27 world championships and it's just one of 162 games.

At least that's what I think he's saying No celebrating, ever. Edited March 13, 2014 by MexSoxFan#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So after being destroyed by the Kings last night the 76ers streak as 18 games and their next 8 are vs Indiana, vs Memphis, at Indiana, vs Chicago, vs New York, at Chicago, at San Antonio, and at Houston. They are in decent shape to tie the Cavs 26 game losing streak with that schedule. A home game against Detroit would be for magic #27 if they do lose those 8.
