what do those dollar amounts mean
― k3vin k., Friday, 20 March 2015 03:52 (nine years ago) link
You have a 50,000 dollar budget to spend on your lineup each day and players are assigned dollar value based on their fantasy points per game, adjusted for recency. 5 fps per 1,000 is meeting value.

Guys like that don't really get injured that much anyways. Injury risk greater for bulky guys or leapers.

as far as i can tell when he was drafted he was around 6-11/220-225, so he wasn't exactly lebron or anything. and my concern wasn't about injury risk, it was more skepticism about one-year defensive numbers and the odds of someone that thin being a real interior defender long-term (and again, the fact that he never played offense and couldn't stay out of foul trouble). i was hardly the only sanders skeptic
i feel the same way about nerlins tbh
― k3vin k., Friday, 20 March 2015 16:07 (nine years ago) link
imo if sanders had been a modivated basketball liker there prob wouldnt have been any problem

absolutely, a thousand times yes
if we've already said whoever faces dubs in the first round is almost def going down and the only question is how many games it takes, why not let some new blood into the playoffs at least?
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 20 March 2015 16:53 (nine years ago) link
(some people might disagree but i always thought even a healthy OKC would still go down in 7 to these dubs)
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 20 March 2015 16:54 (nine years ago) link
we need to see westb try to win a playoff series dolo, but also we need playoff brow, maybe mavs cld concede for the good of the league?
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 March 2015 16:57 (nine years ago) link
imo a just healthy in time for the playoffs thunder wld be destroyed by the dubs, a healthy all season thunder obvs wld be a higher seed and champ contender
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 March 2015 16:58 (nine years ago) link
idk i feel like that will just amplify the atrociousness of OKC's roleplayers (as always, exceptions for the injured and ILH breakout star mitch mcgronkowski) even more than it already has, and oh would you look at that NBA game time informs me kanter has a bum knee and can't play tonight
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 20 March 2015 17:01 (nine years ago) link
ya focused dubs D wld prob humiliate solo russ into a 35% shooting series likely better off for him to miss it
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 March 2015 17:02 (nine years ago) link
the thunder could win 2 games in that series i think
― J0rdan S., Friday, 20 March 2015 17:05 (nine years ago) link
if ibaka is healthy
to be fair i shouldnt call kanter atrocious, he can go in the exceptions column (though i've never been as high on him as others)
as for ways to get both OKC and pelis in there (which could preserve OKC longer if they're not against the dubs), mavs and clips both identical in wins & losses and have several current problems, either could run into a bad stretch, the question is can NOLA and OKC keep winning while either mavs or clips fails?
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 20 March 2015 17:06 (nine years ago) link
isn't ibaka out for the whole season though?
im the thunder bench is p good (excepting the hole at the 2 which extends all the way to their starting lineup) their coach just has no idea how to play to his players strengths/contruct lineups/play the right players
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 March 2015 17:08 (nine years ago) link
be v surprised if the thunder took 2 off the dubs even with a healthy ibaka, sweep more likely imo
russell will win one game by himself
― J0rdan S., Friday, 20 March 2015 17:10 (nine years ago) link
they said ibaka is out 4-6 weeks which would put him on a timeline to come back right at the start of the playoffs
― J0rdan S., Friday, 20 March 2015 17:12 (nine years ago) link
yeah i like the thunder bench too, presti really did a good job of upgrading their depth on the low. unfortunately they needed someone to play that harden role and they just completely whiffed on waiters
morrow has been giving them really good minutes lately but that's not nearly enough obv
― J0rdan S., Friday, 20 March 2015 17:15 (nine years ago) link
i may be in the minority but i'd still rather see the thunder than the pellies. playoff russ > brow for me
― k3vin k., Friday, 20 March 2015 17:16 (nine years ago) link
yeah i agree that the pells don't do much for me as a team. i would like to see brow in the playoffs with a roster that does not look like their roster.

let's not forget what happened last time ibaka was the second option in the playoffs though. i think the dubs defense would really expose him

as it pertains to the thunder specifically, for our purposes
Athletes act like dicks to reporters all the time. Why is this a story?

yeah that aspect of the thunder going into overdrive sheltering their players from the media was something. that reggie jackson story was interesting too.

Even post insanity/injuries Sanders still had absurd DRPM numbers. He was/is a great defender.
