Wednesday Morning Dump

A quick daily look at last night's highs and lows.

Hot Shit: Jason Kidd, Unfrozen Caveman Bogut
.476 - NA - 6 - 26 - 6 - 12 - 1 - 0

Loose Stool: Andray Blatche, Call em Bullets
.400 - NA - 0 - 4 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 2
The news report on why this line is so shitty has got to be harrowing to Bardois, who has come to count on this guy for 20 and 10.

Shart: Drew Gooden, WWTMD
.381 - 1.000 - 0 - 26 - 20 - 2 - 2 - 1
Ugh. Drew Gooden posting big lines? Now I really know the fantasy gods must be crazy.



and today, a new category for the lousiest, roster-filling, no business being in a fantasy line-up pick-up of the day...

Just Gas: Jason Maxiell, Teen Wolf
.400 - .667 - 0 - 6 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 0

  1. I thought Granger's line was pretty good as well. .400-.786-5-32-6-4-1-0. It's not as hot as Kidd's, but it's certainly some warm poo. Also, who do you think will get the "Just Gas" award tonight? Reggie Williams? Tyson Chandler? Corey Brewer? Yi? I like this award...

  2. sorry sovic ... back on the blog. maybe we can recreate this fine email conversation. So ... just how stressed is Beb that the guy he picked up and dropped might go for 29 again tonight?

  3. though disappointing in real life, i too am a big fan of 'just gas' in this context.

    dekker, i'm not stressed about that. my team's sudden tendency to get all injured and shit is another matter.

    also, not super excited about the fact that a berth in this years championship is resting on the shoulders of the likes of cj miles and jason maxiell. in the last 24hrs i have considered adding to my team multiple guys i have never even heard of before, which says something considering the degree to which i follow the nba.

  4. i didn't really mean that we had to take this convo to the blog, but you guys are sweet for humoring me.
    yeah obviously add/drop-a-palooza and the impact of so many "Unaddables" in these playoffs has shown that a moves or games cap is an absolute necessity for next year, at least in the playoffs. i would like to include something they have in the NBA though, which is a Hardship Exemption, in which you can appeal to the commish if there are extenuating circumstances that require extra moves (excessive injuries, freakishly low game count, etc).

  5. Two things: Sovic, I like the exemption. Secondly, I wonder if we're blowing the no name thing a bit our of proportion. I looked at the roster of my 2008 champ team (from the last week against beb). My roster included Nocioni, Morrow, Roger Mason, Ronnie Turiaf, and the wonderful CJ Watson. They aren't exactly superstars...and I think we can be sure that the Warriors had a lot of games that week.

  6. One thing we could think about was is adding more categories that measure an average or percentage. Assists/turnover ratio would have had me think twice about adding Carlos Arroyo, who I think plays for the Heat.

  7. will, all that proves is that you were a lucky bastard and did not actually deserve to win. i think the championship should be retroactively given to whoever got second place that year. not quite sure who that was....

  8. I think it's the guy who's going to finish fourth this year...

  9. wait, but that's you. i'm confused.

  10. will, keep in mind that we had two more teams last year, so the talent pool should be diminished. also, mason was money last year and rony turiaf got a shitload of blocks.

  11. yeah, that was when biedrins was hurt and turiaf was starting at c for the warriors.

    i remember cause i had just traded for biedrins before that.

  12. So, I just realized that you posted this clip from the Gods must be crazy (I had only looked at cluj at work, where youtube is blocked). It's very topical for me right now. In two weeks, I'm showing that film in my world cultures class. It's rated PG, but I have to send a letter home explaining why I'm showing it and warning parents about "tribal nudity."
