As much as I wanted to ignore it this year, my friends wouldn't let me... 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Yeah, the BIG 4-0, wasn't it? How come on the one day when there's only 3 games - Thursday - none of the guys I want to pick are playing, so now I'm stuck with 7 guys I want to use and only 6 days?  Hopefully I won't pull a JG and sit out the wrong one. :p

I'm not quite sure about this one. I suspect it is, but let me see a show of hands here: isn't this an alertless whine?? :p

I've said from the beginning that this game is not about who you pick, but when you pick them. This becomes even more obvious when you examine the lack of diversity in the players we pick. Including missed days, we have made a total of 201 picks between the three of us since the game began. With seven days in a week, and the occasional day on which none of the top players are playing, there are eight players who account for 79.6% of our picks, and only four players who account for just over half (51%) of our selections. Here's a complete breakdown of eeveryone that any of us have used: # Time Total
Name Picked Pct.
-
Paul 30 14.9
Villanueva 29 29.4
Frye 25 41.8
Bogut 23 51.0
D. Williams 19 62.7
Felton 13 69.2
Stoudamire 11 74.7
Head 10 79.6
May 7 83.1
Jaskivicious 6 86.1
Calderon 5 88.6
Robinson 4 90.1
Granger 4 92.6
Garcia 3 94.0
Jack 2 95.0
Fitch 2 96.0
McCants 1 96.5
Oberto 1 97.0
Ewing 1 97.5
Singleton 1 98.0
Petro 1 98.5
M. Williams 1 99.0
Simien 1 99.5
Diogu 1 100.0 taking into account missed games, our average per game is very close Games Points Avg PPD
-
DM 62 1068 17.23
JG 69 1158 16.78
PL 70 1162 16.60 Pretty close, right? So since we're picking basically the same players, the difference comes down to picking the rihght guy on the right day. Here's a comparison showing each player, their season's average, the number of times each of us picked him, and their average when each of us picked the guy: Name Avg. DM JG PL
-
Paul 29.4 10-28.9 10-26.5 10-31.5
Villanueva 18.6 9-23.8 11-10.4 9-16.3
Frye 21.7 7-18.6 8-24.1 10-17.7
Bogut 18.4 7-19.0 8-19.8 8-13.8
D. Williams 18.1 1-31.0 8-17.4 10-19.3
Felton 13.2 7-15.0 3-11.7 3- 9.3
Stoudamire 12.7 3- 7.7 3- 9.3 4- 1.8
Head 14.9 2-10.5 4-10.8 4-12.8
May 13.9 4- 3.5 3-15.3
Jaskivicious 14.5 2-17.0 2-17.0 2-22.0
Calderon 15.0 1- 7.0 3- 6.7 1-18.0
Robinson 13.6 1-11.0 3-21.7
Granger 10.7 2- 5.0 2-15.0
Garcia 6.4 1-15.0 1-15.0 1-15.0
Fitch 8.8 1- 0.0 1- 0.0
Jack 10.1 2- 9.5
McCants 6.2 1- 1.0
Oberto 4.2 1- 1.0
Ewing 7.7 1- 8.0
Singleton 6.7 1- 0.0
Petro 6.3 1- 3.0
M. Williams 11.1 1- 6.0
Simien 4.8 1- 0.0
Diogu 11.5 1- 0.0 Villanueva is killing JG. He's been hurt by Head and Calderon, and helped a lot by Robinson. PL has been hurt by Frye and Bogut, and helped by Paul and Jaskivicious. DM did great with Williams the one time he took him, as well as Villanueva. He's been hurt by Frye, Head, Calderon, and Granger. So the question then becomes, "Is picking the guy on the right day a matter of luck or skill?" Well, I would guess this: When it comes to those top five guys (I'm including Williams, who DM, inexplicably, has picked only once) we obviously have to pick which day we use him. I know what I look at, and sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. When it comes to the next group - the 2 or 3 guys we use to fill out the rest of the week - the same thing applies. So the answer is, "I don't know."

I always showed life in this game :rolleyes: I'm starting to get a little insulted with the way you keep insinuating that I lose interest when I'm out of contention.   (Even if it's true  ) Hope no one had Bogut tonight. I know I didn't.
