If I get, I don't know, at least two other people to play (DM me) I'll keep score for this playoff points-only pool:



$7: Giannis, Curry, KD

$6: Harden, Kawhi, Embiid, PG13

$5: Klay, Lillard, Jokic, Kyrie, Butler

$4: Mitchell, Tobias, Middleton, J Murray, Westbrook, McConnell

$3: Bojan, B Simmons, Lowry, Bledsoe, CP3, Siakam, Draymond

$2: Derozan, Aldridge, D’Angelo, Capela, Sweet Lou, JJ Redick, Adams, Tatum

$1: Everyone else

 

$25 to spend on six players. After each round you can replace that player with a different one however the cost of a player goes up by $1 every time his team wins a round (ie, if the Rockets lose in the first round and the Sixers win, you can replace Harden with Embiid). You also substitute their total points as well (so you don’t keep the points of the guys you draft initially, only of those who you have in the end).

Sure, I will play

Cant replace Harden with Embiid, right?  His price would then be 7 with the increase

[kiidcarter8]

$1 guys could be key

Harden, along with Oubre, is also a bit of a gamble defender.

Do they describe what constitutes a deflection?

Westbrook very much a gamble defender.

I got those stats from NBA.com.
https://stats.nba.com/players/hustle-leaders/
The whole page is full of interesting stats
Not sure how they define deflections.

".......except for the KZ fiasco"

Too fucking funny.
A catastrophe is what it was.  Go back and read the posts from last fall.

I can't decode this at all.

Fiasco -- a complete failure, especially a ludicrous or humiliating one.
synonyms:  failure · disaster · catastrophe · debacle · shambles · farce · ruination · 

Does that help?

[kiidcarter8]

PRODUCTIVE YEAR is where you went astray.  You cannot HAVE that with the FIASCO, CATASTROPHE imbedded.

"Wait til you see this guy play with KP"

Heh

Too funny.

KP and Knicks future was not all that.  I recall being the lone voice.

[kiidcarter8]

I dont think the Putzicorn will be making any friends across the league while playing with Mavs.  He's a prick, pure and simple.

Argh! I had switched Giannis and Harden after Houston fell in Golden State's side of the bracket and forgot to edit the rules. I meant to say "(ie, if the Bucks lose in the first round and the Sixers win, you can replace Giannis with Embiid)". Good catch.

$1 guys could be key

If you can find a decent one, more power to you. But you can't sub them out for active players given the rule about prices increasing with each playoff round.


Anyhow, if one more plays, I'll keep score. Fac, Carlos, and Kam have played similar games in the past.

I will spend my $25 on:
PG Curry (7)
SG Westbrook (4)
SF Durant (7)
PF Siakam (3)
C Capela (2)
6th Adams (2)

(You don't actually have to have positions, I'm just being silly)

Win 3 more games and worse case scenario goes from #5 to #7 pick; win 6 more games and 8th pick could loom.
If we were going to be bad and have a roster of rooks and reclamations, I like finishing dead last.  A lot of Knick L's were close games, at least in the first half of the season.  Competitive losses.

Unfortunately, Knix chose to tank in the first year in which the benefits are reduced (worse lotto odds, and only Top 5 guarantee instead of Top 4).  And it's said to be a weak draft.  But I'm glad we're adding a Top 5 pick.

Yes, worst case scenario does go from 5 to 8, but you gotta stick the pick there anyway. There's no unfortunately Knicks chose to tank in the first year with benefits reduced, there's no fortune in it, wasn't an accident, as was well known beforehand - we made a stupid choice, more idiocy from a franchise that is doing its best to monopolize idiocy.

You must be bored as fuck in China if you enjoyed watching that shit because NOBODY i know here did. And the damage done....massive. You like finishing dead last, well, glad it felt good to you. Coach showed me, zip, nada good, and whole heap of suck.

17 W's.  27 W's.  Not much difference to me.  I'll take the higher pick, thank you.

I liked watching a lot of young guys and castoffs show their stuff.
Thought lots of Knix did well individually.
Mitch, Mud, Vonleh.  Trier, Dot, Knox, Kornet were more up and down, but shined at times.  Even Kadeem was fun to watch and pull for.  I didn't get a good look at Smith Jr.  Without caring about W's, I liked this season more than any of the last 5 or so losing seasons. 

Jettisoning Tim Jr was a minor plus too.

[bodiddley]

Hey, Biz, isn't it time to roll out the start of the year Knick win predictions?  So we can all laugh at Chip picking a winning record for the 10th consecutive year . . .

I like watching chickens thrash about for 5 or 8 seconds after their heads have been cut off — basically what was going on out there most of the time...oh wait, I don't like, at all.

17 W's.  27 W's.  Not much difference to me.  I'll take the higher pick, thank you.

Lol, lol, You don't have a higher pick, you have a TINY CHANCE at a higher pick. 17 W's with nothing built. 27W's with something built. MASSIVE DIFFERENCE TO ME.  I'll go with the higher W's and a 1.5 percent smaller chance of Zion, thank you very much.

REPRISE: 10 more wins..chance of a top three pick moves from 40 to 37 percent.

* I'm right there with you on THJ however

[facilitatorn]

KL, PG13, D Mitchell, Ben Simmons, DeRozan, Enes one buck Kanter is my $25

I enjoyed watching this team almost as much as the squad we blew up for Melo and the moldy-oldie ECF team that ran aground on Mt. Hibbert. Other than those two years, this was the most watchable for me in the last dozen.

No Mudiay or Hardaway or Kanter will make for a better product next year.
