I'm down for doing an ILH league but I'd say we need 8 minimum. Confirm in this thread if you want in and I'll set everything up if we get 8.

I’ll play, I’ve only done fantasy hoops like once in the past dozen years so I’m not particularly optimistic about my chances. I hear this Stephen Curry fellow is good at the shooting of basketballs from behind the three point line.

Jerami Grant or Taurean Prince?
― Heez, Thursday, 17 October 2019 15:26 (four years ago) link
i think prince will have more opportunity but if millsap gets injured then grant will be huge
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Thursday, 17 October 2019 15:50 (four years ago) link
thanks. i was put on the spot to pick a team name and choose trae don't huerter. hat tip to you
― Heez, Thursday, 17 October 2019 15:58 (four years ago) link
nice...
Heez, you want in our ILH league?
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Thursday, 17 October 2019 16:07 (four years ago) link
no thanks. i can only handle one of these
― Heez, Thursday, 17 October 2019 16:28 (four years ago) link
when are you sending invites, spotto. I could use a third league
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, 17 October 2019 16:32 (four years ago) link
Looks like we've got at least 8! for those that said they were in please send me an email (pop the levels at g male dot com) from your preferred email address and I'll get everyone plugged in. If anyone else come into the thread and wants to play you can send me an email as well and I'll cap it at 12.
I'll be using the Yahoo fantasy app so make sure you get that. Draft likely this Sunday or Monday evening. 8 category head to head.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Thursday, 17 October 2019 16:51 (four years ago) link
lol i'm having to delete my yahoo account and make a new one for this bc for whatever reason yahoo doesn't have my age information and i can't update it and you have to be 13 to play fantasy basketball. guys i made that account over 20 years ago..........
― Clay, Friday, 18 October 2019 02:30 (four years ago) link
Haha you can use an existing gmail or another account to create a yahoo acct I think
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 03:07 (four years ago) link
it was a minor inconvenience, i ain't exactly spending hour after hour every day on yahoo dot com
― Clay, Friday, 18 October 2019 03:23 (four years ago) link
just did a ten-team mock and ... i am gonna have to do a few more of these, feels like my hoops mind is stuck in like 2015
― Clay, Friday, 18 October 2019 03:24 (four years ago) link
Word to the wise: don’t draft Carmelo
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 03:35 (four years ago) link
man, I haven't done a Yahoo fantasy league in years, signing up was a real trip down memory lane. seeing how I participated in a big NCAA tourney pool ten years ago put on by Clay Travis before he went full reactionary dickweed and finished 2nd out of 392.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 18 October 2019 13:28 (four years ago) link
i prefer yahoo to espn for one reason and one reason only: the lightning (start all active players) button.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 15:29 (four years ago) link
ok looks like i still need m bison, lavator and ulysses emails! lets goooooooo. draft is on sunday evening 845
we can hold four more as well if anyone else wants to join in just send me an email.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 15:39 (four years ago) link
sent

We can always open it up to a few randos at the end if we want a shallower player pool
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 18 October 2019 17:11 (four years ago) link
true true. I am used to 8 team leagues and big rosters i kinda like it like that
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 17:26 (four years ago) link
Sent!
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 18 October 2019 18:15 (four years ago) link
damn this draft is at 11:45 EST?! i didn't realize all of y'all were west coasters, it's no biggie but i think odds are very strong that i'll be autodrafting.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 18 October 2019 18:32 (four years ago) link
I'm east coast too - tbh 8:45 est would be tricky for me anyway putting kids to bed but yeah will probably have to do some autodrafting. I'll try to make it for the first few rounds tho
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 18 October 2019 18:43 (four years ago) link
no auto-drafting allowed (half joking, but like 50% of the fun of fantasy is the draft imo). what time would be work better? I just kind of threw that out for a first time. I could do mid day on Sunday like around 1:30-4pm pacific time or monday evening.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 19:00 (four years ago) link
EST evening sunday will work otherwise i'm mostly screwed
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 18 October 2019 19:01 (four years ago) link
Honestly with this being a snake draft it’ll probably go pretty quick so I could possibly swing 1145. An hour or two earlier would be ideal but I can be amenable
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 18 October 2019 21:18 (four years ago) link
yeah my last one took about an hour - 8 teams snake draft 90 seconds for each pick. I changed this one to 60 seconds per pick should go even quicker
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Friday, 18 October 2019 22:26 (four years ago) link
10 or 10:30 EST Sunday night would be ideal but could start as early as 9 or at the later pacific-friendly time

let's get eight teams in this thing
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 19 October 2019 20:05 (four years ago) link
no extra points for 3s, huh?
― Jeff Bathos (symsymsym), Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:31 (four years ago) link
down for that, theyre already worth 3 of the points
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:36 (four years ago) link
oh wow that changes my draft strategy immensely, not doing %s either?
― Clay, Sunday, 20 October 2019 00:55 (four years ago) link
so i did some Number Crunching in MicroSoft ExCel (the extra caps in SC stand for Sports Center)
using last year's data, the number one fantasy man per game using spottie's rules is james harden, the second is giannis, wow we got ourselves a mvp debate again!!!
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 01:19 (four years ago) link
also the player that most unfairly benefits from this scoring system is westbrook
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 01:33 (four years ago) link
i think percentages are really important for balance in fantasy hoops and would like to suggest we use them!
― Clay, Sunday, 20 October 2019 01:45 (four years ago) link
i wish missed shots could be a negative value, it would really penalize low-efficiency volume shooting that gets the PPG up
― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison), Sunday, 20 October 2019 01:47 (four years ago) link
altho there arent a lot of ppl other than westbrook who are getting rewarded here, its mostly a reflection of the best talent, though it does reward big men more than it prob should.
the average distribution of a player's Spottie points in this system goes like this (w some rounding):47% from PPG26% from RPG16% from APG11% from SPG7% from BPG-6% from TO/G
big men less likely to have high TO rates and more like to have big REB and BLK so thats why 6 of the top 11 players from 18-19 would be centers (davis 3rd, joel 5th, towns, jokic, drummond, vucevic 8th-11th)

forks hasn't accessed his team since the league renewal went out in September, btw. I think he's likely a ghost team.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 24 October 2023 17:10 (ten months ago) link
wonder if i can switch him to a bot managed team

Why is it that Miles Bridges was deemed untouchable when Spottie picked him up last year but this year it's okay?
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 2 December 2023 18:52 (eight months ago) link
didnt see who picked him up, he should still be in free agent hell 4ever
― polyamerie "it's more than this 1 thing" (m bison), Saturday, 2 December 2023 18:55 (eight months ago) link
Yah I don’t think we stated anything explicitly but it was an unwritten thing. Looks like Jrues Holiday got him
― infinite wiggles (Spottie), Saturday, 2 December 2023 21:22 (eight months ago) link
admittedly I picked him up in my other league because I have bad values lol
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 2 December 2023 21:24 (eight months ago) link
Uhh yeah i picked him up. It was like I was just sitting there in the experiment room staring at the marshmallow. I know, I’m going to hell
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Sunday, 3 December 2023 05:36 (eight months ago) link
based on me telling my friend league rules don't allow him to pick up Bridges, I vote for Bridges being turfed.
