ILH Fantasy Talk

centers is such a hard position in fantasy. blocks are gold.

FYI I upped the transaction limit to 10 for this 'week' since its ten games instead of the normal 7. Ill switch It back next Sunday night.

Playoffs baby!

The torch is definitely being passed, as Zion is the only one of my first 5 picks playing at the moment. On my IL right now: LeBron, Hayward, Jamal Murray, John Collins, with KAT missing his game today to attend a memorial for his mother. Good luck to my esteemed opponent clay and to all participating.

injuries and missed time have been so brutal this season but thats especially bad

My IL was full for a good chunk of the first half of the season, though not with all top guys like that, and then my team got surprisingly healthy up until the last couple weeks (LeBron was the first domino). It has definitely been a weird year.

shuffling dudes on and off IL and (the blessèd) IL+ has been a part-time job the last couple months

Haha yes same

bkly minny game postponed to add another wrinkle

forks's team is crazy good, they only lost once all season

And he barely made any moves 😤

1. (7) Nikola Jokic (Den - PF,C)
2. (10) Devin Booker (Pho - SG,SF)
3. (23) Deandre Ayton (Pho - C)
4. (26) Donovan Mitchell (Uta - PG,SG)
5. (39) Fred VanVleet (Tor - PG,SG)
6. (42) De'Aaron Fox (Sac - PG)
7. (55) DeMar DeRozan (SA - SG,SF,PF)
8. (58) CJ McCollum (Por - PG,SG)

10. (74) Coby White (Chi - PG,SG)
11. (87) Julius Randle (NY - PF,C)
12. (90) Danilo Gallinari (Atl - SF,PF)

good players with the first 9 picks, then randle in the 11th...

yah pretty much every player there has outperformed their draft position besides coby, gallo and maybe booker who's coming on strong now

auto draft tho so he cant take credit :)

randle that late is the real steal tho for sure

lol autodraft beat us all

Jokic at 7 was a steal too in retrospect

yah i think hes #1 on the seaseon. hasnt missed a game either

i may be wrong but i think i logged on just in time where i can claim intentionally drafting randle!
but yes, the power of my autodraft was strong. Required very little pruning over the course of the season.

D. Wade is balling out! That is Dean Wade of the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, who had a 21-6-2 line with 3 steals and 5 threes last night in a loss to the Pels. I am noting him in this thread because he is currently at the top of the Transaction Trends, but more because I find it funny that his eligibility is PG/PF/C. He is 6'9" and averages 1.1 APG so maybe the PG thing is just an error but I cannot claim to have watched the Cavs to know for sure.

(In contrast Ben Simmons is just listed as a PG)

Ben Simmons could learn a few things from Dean Wade obviously

i don't know if it's enough to save me in this final but i feel pretty good about snagging Hardaway Jr off waivers for tonight

losing D Mitchell was a big hit

Yah that was huge. It’s gonna be tight all the way to the end imo

lol at our current FG% tie breaker

argh at hardaway jr being out for this last day; this is a stupid tight final and i need all the help i can get!

(prob should have strategically stacked players with sat/sun games yesterday but i didnt)

You should win cos you have the tiebreaker

welp vanvleet and derozan are taking the night off so

4-4 on Sunday, gotta love it. Y'all are both champs in my eyes (until one of you is a loser later this evening)

I need to hold points and pull off one of assists or fg%. Both of which are almost out of reach.

we should have a 9th category because winning 4-4 is silly. but it should be a positive category, so not turnovers.

sym you very well might beat me 8-0 for 3rd, i am humiliated

christ, tatum has become such a reliable beast

it was close all week!

we should have a 9th category because winning 4-4 is silly. but it should be a positive category, so not turnovers.

I need 10 assists combined out of Drummond, Flynn and Birch. I don’t think I’m gonna get it but damn this is close!

Congrats forks. The best team won.

what was the tie-breaker?

Reg season record. I feel dumb cos I meant to change it to h2h matchup at the beginning of the season cos that’s how I always do but I didn’t want to change it after the season started.

autodraft is undefeated!
gg, it couldn't have been much closer

congrats forks, thanks for the commissioning spottie

Tatum's giant game almost won it

I’m gonna think about those 7 more assists I needed all summer.

(tbf, only 10 players in the league got seven or more assists tonight)

Your team was so stacked. Kelly O was like a top 20 player the last month or so.

iirc the rockets kept him on an extremely short leash and i wondered if they were gonna cut him. then he went from 10/2/6 in miami to 18/8/3.

Congrats Forks, and thanks for making it all happen Spottie.

I liked my team at the outset but the injury bug hit us hard. LeBron going down was the death knell.
