[Dressel Rebel]

Ron Artest wrongfully arrested for domestic violence

[JohnH]

I love fantasy sports.  This is my line last night:



...and yet I drop three points closer to last place.  ******* awesome.

[Morgbug]

I'd say I feel for Dressel and Rob, but I can't generate too much sympathy.  Kidd's never really been hurt Scott, he's just faking it for sympathy and you're lapping it up.   

[Rob]

Don't cry for me Argentina...  I'm somehow in 3rd place despite all the troubles my gang has had this year.

If I place in the top 3 I'll consider this run a glowing success. 

[Morgbug]

All the trouble you've had?  I'm sorry, you're complaining about your top three, who've missed what?  Maybe 20 games between them?

Seven of my first 8 draft picks have spent considerable time on the bench.  Only Brand has managed to avoid most of the injury bug/curse.  But he's only played 58 games, same as Marion. 

Marion has played 58 games. - Out for 2.
Allen has played 48 games. - Out for 12
Davis has played 48 games. - Out for 12

Brand has played 58 games. - Out for 2. 
Boozer has played 46 games. - Out for 14
Lewis has played 40 games. - Out for 20
Billups has played 50 games. - Out for 10
Paul has played 43 games. - Out for 17
West has played 30 games - Out for 30!
Gerald Wallace, who I shouldn't have dropped but did so because of injury, has played 54 games, but about 10 of those he was utterly useless because of a concussion. - Out for 6.

Argentina ain't crying for you, I assure you of that.  It's hoping Allen opts for surgery and I can make it back to third place myself

[Dressel Rebel]

Ron Artest was framed y'all.

[Scott]

They should send him to jail for the rest of the season...after which I agree, it sounds like he was framed.  My team is at full strength now...There will be no one to stop us, this time (I'm looking at you Ichiro)

[john todd]

with pretty much no injuries, my team still sucks.  but watch out snaggalicious or i might pass you and get out of 8th for the 1st time this year.

[Rob]

Argentina ain't crying for you, I assure you of that.  It's hoping Allen opts for surgery and I can make it back to third place myself

I was trying to agree with you... didn't do a very good job of it.

As for Allen - I'm screwed without him...  The points are no big deal since I've given up on that category, but he's where most of my 3's and Steals come from and he has the highest FT% on my team...

[Morgbug]

Eh, no one said I was good at listening either. 

Allen seems to be playing fine with the injury

I think Missing Lewis killed my season.  Those 20 games were a huge hit because he was my leading 3 point shooter and my leading scorer overall.  Top it off with more than a handful of rebounds plus a steal and a block every other game and it's a killer.  I believe he was ranked #1 by Yahoo when he went down. 

[Rob]

Allen has been doing fine alright...  I'm just worried that with the Sonics so completely out of the playoff hunt, that he'll pack it in for the year.



And in other news, I'm getting a big game from Ricky Davis tonight.   I love double OT.

[Dressel Rebel]

Clad in shining armor, Josh Childress will ride regally atop my steed of victory.

Joe Johnson has unlocked the portal to the promise land.

[Morgbug]

No, he'll just break your heart.  Great game followed by two mediocre games where you regret starting him. 

[Dressel Rebel]

No, he'll just break your heart.  Great game followed by two mediocre games where you regret starting him. 

If you look closely, you can actually make out Childress here:

[Dressel Rebel]

Ha ha I was so sleepy when I posted Childress atop his steed that I didn't realize that the rider was white.

I still love the Atlanta Hawks color scheme though.
