Ah, fickle thy name is Letizia!!!

I'm still a fan, just a critical one until he starts scoring again.

Fickle's name is Sasha, actually... good one week, then suddenly sucks the next three weeks.

Btw, incidentally... his bad streak started the day after he took a picture with Paris Hilton at the Walk of Fame Star ceremony for Jerry Buss. I'm just putting it out there. The girl is poison.

Pair that with the haircut-- disaster! The guy doesn't have a chance.

Is this the quietest thread in the entire sports forum? My goodness... where is everyone?

Eh. Blame the commish for never posting any scores...

UCLA is #1 in basketball Zia.

Plan on attending any games this yr?

I'm here.

<chirp chirp>

I hoped that we could come here and reason togethor. And as a reasonable man I'm willing to do whatever's necessary to--find a peaceful solution to this problem of Yao's Chinese Buffet running away with this league.

You all know me as a man of my word--a modest man--a man who's willing to listen to reason(able) trades.

Unfortunately there are some ppl () who are not familiar with the concept of sunk costs and choose to ride it out until the end w/ their sub-par teams.

You don't wanna trade? Thats fine. But you are gonna unleash the big bad wolf in me. And I'll huff, and puff, and blow your little fu*kin' team away.

TRADES

Well lets look at my struggling* team

-KG is crap this yr (as I predicted). Anyone?

-Shaq is on the bench this yr (as I predicted). Anyone?

*(but they're still g's)

KG is going to be moved sooner than later I hope DS. Now given some of the sub-par 'offers' you have thrown at me for him, you would naturally have to give your word that you will have no objections.

Although Don Michael never gave his.

"We don't have to give assurances as if we were lawyers..."

I've always considered myself fair. As long as you don't put us through things like T-Mac for a broken leg and a herniated disc to be named later, we'll be fine.

BTW - subpar?? It's called an opening offer. If you want, you can always respond back.

SHOW ME THE GOODEN!!!

'Ya'll some biatches that's all I'm saying.'
(We'll see what these scores look like in March.)

Hey DB, I got a Powershot for Christmas from one of my uncles... I already had a (better) camera, but whatever, the point is, now I can make my shots POWERshots! I felt I had to share that with you. We should have seen it coming, it was like destiny. It was only a matter of time.



I already kick ass at tennis, this was all that was missing. Well, this and a few more decibels of volume when I play, if I wanna catch up to her. But I'm working on it!

You forgot one thing... You have to look smokily at your opponent, at your mirror, at your neighbor's dog... at anything actually and say:

"Make every shot a Powershot."

Nice points total after last night, DMC (6969)

I'm practicing that, too.


JG, 6969!! Whoaaaaa. And of course it's DM and not any other one of us. Coincidence?

Hey, am I going crazy, or do you guys see a little red medic cross next to your injured players? Is that new?

I've got it next to L.O. It's kinda cute, but he'd better start playing soon... the projected mid-January is upon us! Come on!

Nope, that little red medic cross just appeared by a few of my player's names. It has not been there all season though. I have had Shaq out for most of the season and yet I have not been able to put him on the Injured list. In most leagues, when you have a guy injured, you can put him on the IL and pick up another player. Not sure if that function is disabled in this league or if Yahoo just never chose to qualify Shaq for that position!

BTW, Zia, I hope you enjoyed your short stay in fourth place!

I believe the NBA technically doesn't have an injury list so the Yahoo Leagues just followed. I believe the NBA changed its rules a couple of years ago because teams were manipulating their lineups by placing uninjured players on the IL.

Here is the official answer from Yahoo:

Is there an injured list spot on my roster?

No, there is no IL spot in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Basketball rosters.

The NBA no longer uses an Injured List (IL). Instead, real teams designate certain players as "inactive" just prior to game time. This designation means that a player is on the team's roster but not eligible to play in the game for which they're listed.

NBA teams are now required to carry at least 13 players, but no more than 15. Twelve of these players must be active, meaning that from one to three players must be inactive for any given game. The inactive list can include, but is not limited to, injured players.

As a result of these official changes, the IL option has been removed from the fantasy game. If you want to replace an injured player in your starting lineup, you must place him on your bench or drop him to waivers. Custom League commissioners can choose to add another bench spot to rosters when they configure their league if they deem it appropriate to offer additional flexibility to league managers.

Don't worry too much about me, baby. I'll be back, make room.
