alex called him the choker... !

I think hes decent, hes every drill you ever did in juniors wrapped into a power foward!

have to admit pistons did pretty well considering they were 2-0 down and been beaten pretty easily both times...

Gotta stop livin in the past man... 015_tongue.gif

But how many championships did Stockton and Malone win? Timmy's already 3 up on them.... so far 003_wink.gif and by my reckoning is the greatest PF to play the game and the most complete player in the league full stop.

Detroit just really started to annoy me how everything had to be an "us against the world" situation with them and going on about how San Antonio was already planning a victory parade at Game 6. DUH! If the Spurs won, of course they would have had to have contingency plans in place!

TD is probably the best all round player the league has ever seen

see his 3 pointer in game 6 (i think?) - ridiculous 001_smile.gif

just needs to sort out his foul shooting problem.

bah, who needs to be fancy when you can get the job done with a pick and roll every single offence... just goes to show you need to be flashy, just smart, I can respect that...

yeah tim duncan is pretty good, most other big guys play with way to much attitude, tim duncan doesnt really show much emotion, just gets the job done.

with his free throws i don't get it? its like in a live situation he knocks down jump shots from the top of the key all the time no sweat... must be mental or something, haha just need him to straighten his feet on the line... he looks like a goofy 10 year old kid~!

Would there be enough interest from the RA NBA Fans to form a Yahoo Fantasy Draft League? I played for the first time this season and quite enjoyed it even though I'm not a big basketball fan. There's 12 people in a league - so including me looking for another 11. The 12 players participate in online fantasy draft then can trade throughout the season with each otehr and the list of unclaimed players. You score points based on the overall rank of your team in the league for each of the stat categories.

draft produced some interstin moments(Villionuve goin so hight,green droppin so low).Was happy wit how the warriors went.Whist Ike is a risk due to his height(6-8 small for a pf) he has a wing span of 7ft4 which is Ape like.Will either be the next elton brand or Desagna Diop.But it was the 2nd round the warriors really impressed,pickin up high schooler Ellis and big Chris Taft.Yes the same taft that was tabbed as a lottery pick.....Bring on next season

I have played Yahoo NBA fantasy the past 3 seasons. I love it. But random leagues sure do suck. Ended up in a shit one last season and lost interest. would be great if we could get together enough ppl for a league and actually have a live draft. never done a live draft before.

definately count me in.

no, the fantasy game drafting of your players you want on your team "COULD" be. if you got ppl in differnet timezones and its not possible to all be on the internet at same time with good connections the draft is done on a preselected preference list each "coach"(player) selects beforehand.

i am not talking about this morning REAL nba draft.

aussie andrew bogut is the number 1 draft pick in this year's nba draft

Yeha i know bogut, ive known him for a few years, i havent seen him since august last yr... but thats such a massive effort. Its fuckin awesome to see someone with such talent work really hard - at times ppl with such talent seem to go to waste....


i dont think most ppl realise the signifance of him being number 1 draft pick... i guess the popularity of australian basketball aint what it used to be..

Hopefully basketball in Australia will move fwd in the coming years..

yeah put me down!

is it just you draft players and then your team goes on how well your guys are really going in the NBA?

all i have to say is:

Fear my predominantly white starting five.... takin it back to early 90s jazz styles! We may be short skinny and goofy but we are annoying little runts who shoot well and dont turn the ball over !

Here's a Basic Summary -

You draft a Squad of 15 players (I think it's 15 but it may be a couple more or less).
Each Day of the Season you can set a different starting 5 plus reserves. Whatver those players actually score in 8 stats categories is accumulated in your team.
If in your league you are the highest rank in a stat category then you get 12 points , second highest gets 11 points and so on til teh bottom scoring player gets a single point - so your total score then comes from your ranks in the 8 categories which are -

Total Points
3 points made
Field Goal %
Free tHrow %
Steals
Blocks
Assists
Turnovers (which works in reverse ie least gets 12 points)

So if you has an awesome team topping all rankings you'd have 96 points. I came 2nd in my league this year with 71 points, winner got 72 - bottom got about 53 points.

The best part is the live draft and teh ability to trade your players with other Teams in your league
