Timely Hitting

Yep.  Rule helps casual player.   Agreed NBA is the hardest.   Way less variance in player results.

I can't beat NFL or MLB if my life depended on it.

 

NBA been very kind to me.

 

Heavily impacted by high value players results paired with low priced players output. I think building the base of any lineup is a lot easier than other sports as it's more obvious.

The dumbing down of the game is good for mo. Nothing more fun than picking ty Chandler for a 25/22 night bc the euro-squad is taking the evening off.

 

Putting lyles in for a double double when he's projected to get 0

 

Getting sweet run out of bayless when the other Milw guards decide that Greg Monroe is no fun to play with.

 

❤️

 

Jjb going off when the Dallas backcourt is all ? and none play so you get the top pg play at 2.4%

This is a great rule as it evens the playing field a bit...increases the amount of dead lineups for guys who have hundreds of lineups and sit by their computer all day. They easily dominated on days that there were west coast game late scratches.

This sit by the computer all day nonsense is laughable.

 

I probably had 10 lineups a night - entered in multiple things - and spent maybe an hour total on my lineups each day. 

 

It takes 5 minutes to check player news before games.

 

This would be like arguing that sportsbooks should lock and require all plays to be put in 5 minutes before the first game starting because people can't follow injury news in real time so they have an unfair advantage.  :laugh

NBA is 10 times more enjoyable than MLB or NFL for me. Everything is a point, it's fucking awesome for the mind racing polarred up manic Monday mo didley

haha it is a rush.

 

One of the top score nights was a Thursday - 2 or 3 games I think. The final game I was alternating between first and 2nd for the final 3 minutes of the game. 3 seconds left, they hit a three and I go down by a point. l'm super bummed. Then they run down court to shoot a pointless jumper from the FT line and I think Ed Davis blocks the shot to give me 2 points and the top score for the night as the clock hit double zero. It was amazing.

It is easier to build a base, especially compared to FB. The injury factor is much higher in FB.

Just popping over from game to game box score to box score watching pj tucker play 36 minutes without finding a rebound, steal, or 3

haha, truly unbelievable. minutes to production there probably isn't a worse player in the NBA. You kept telling yourself, well he's $3500 and he's playing 35 minutes a night, he's got to be a lock for 17.5 fantasy points equaling value. He'd fail to get over 10 countless times.

I dont actually mean to physically sit by the computer all day. Its more of a phrase. Not everyone wants to check their internet devices all night. Its more about not having to constantly check your lineups and breaking news over the course of the night.

If you didn't like the rule/ability to change after games, Then head on over to FD where you didn't have to worry about it.

 

And Hangover just outed himself as a person that never goes out in public.  No wonder he stalks deemer around here.

"Occasionaly see at social places feverishly checking his phone"  That's 98% of people these days.  Get out more and you wouldn't make yourself look stupid trying to be cute.

He was the anti-Robinson. Thomas Robinson would get more fantasy points in his rare 12 minutes of action than tucker would get in a week.

Timely is arguing that people should be penalized for having social lives. He must be that guy you occasionally see at social places alone in the corner feverishly checking his lineups and subbing in/out game-time decision players

You are a bore. It's gambling. Your argument is idiotic, and makes no sense. Do you check injury news before making a wager? It's no different. 

 

If you can't put the time in, you should not have the same edge; obviously, that's gambling and investing in general. 

 

Tell us again about how Ubaldo should be starting playoff games.

So you want them to admit that its gambling even though they are spending millions trying to claim otherwise?

 

Explain to me why Ubaldo does not deserve to be starting playoff games as well.
