WS Fantasy Basketball 2012-13

[PHX]

I know you got to do whatever you got to do to improve your team but picking up Budinger who has a torn meniscus to try and trade to KIF who probably has no idea he is even hurt is pretty low Brandon.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

lel, he thought I had him, so I played along.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

Probably wasted an add this week anyway, because he'd have seen he's out at the trade screen and rejected. WORTH A SHOT!

eh at this matchup. Don't really care if I lost it, as I'm too excited to FINALLY get ROSE.

The Sports Guy's Thanksgiving Football Mailbag - Grantland

I'm a physical therapist with a board certification as a sports medicine specialist. The big difference with Derrick Rose's ACL recovery versus Adrian Peterson's ACL recovery boils down to one thing: jumping. When you run, you have approximately 4-5 times your body weight worth of ground reaction forces when your leg hits the ground. When you jump it can reach 10-12 times your body weight. Add to that the fact that Adrian Peterson runs on softer turf and grass while Rose is playing on a hard wood court. Football is an obviously grueling sport, but the jumping (and landing) required in basketball is uniquely different and requires the knee and the surrounding musculature to be in a more completely healed and strengthened condition. Returning too quickly can increase the risk of overuse injuries.

So anyway, my random suggestion for next season: eliminate the Total Rebounds stat. Every rebound already gets counted as an O-Reb or a D-Reb. Plus it would get us to 13 categories and remove the vast majority of ties in our head-to-head matchups. Because ties are FUCKING LAME.

My suggestion, don't be a crybaby bitch after 4 years of the stat being used

 

[SAL]

You really are one of the dumbest fucks alive. Why would I be crying when I knew what the stats were and I built a team with great bigs to exploit it. I think the setup is a little too slanted toward bigs, and eliminating one stat will help with the problem of ties in the playoffs. I'd like to discuss it with the big boys. Go run along, get another Kobe tattoo, go play in traffic, whatever.

 

[SAIYANS]

Why u mad tho?

And you think it's too slanted when the playoffs haven't been effected by it ever in multiple years, c'mon off that shit, you want a tie breaker, add assist to turnover

 

[PHX]

Taking total rebounds away is a hell of a lot smarter than assist to turnover. I get Sal's point though I don't care much about the tie aspect of it esp when you can still possibly tie anyways even if it was just 13 categories.

I've wanted to do this last year and also this year because punting guard cats is way too easy. Eliminating 1 rebounding category would force me to actually give a shit about guards and would balance the league better.

Because you're a consistently terrible poster. We don't remind you often enough IMO. When you suggested adding a roster spot, you weren't being a "crybaby bitch," right?

 

[PHX]

I didn't know you wanted to do that. I wouldn't have been against it.

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

btw Brandon picking up an injured Budinger as trade bait for KIF is fucking hilarious.

 

[PHX]

Don't think that is getting nearly enough attention as it should be getting.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

lel, I dropped him again anyway

Don't poop your big boy pants, Ricky.

It was a nba related rule change. Every team has 13 active guys now over 12, which is the reason why we all had 12 in the first place.

Hell I'd be fine with 10 guys per team with so many teams
