In Season thread.

ANyone else excited for today's games? I was salivating while looking at the full schedule.

A first for the Highball league this year as I have filled up my bench with all injured players. No wonder I am Last.

I'm not loving my 10th place position, but then I realized that the leaders already have 11 or 12 more games played than me so they should be way ahead in all the counting categories. Realistically, the overall standings really don't mean much until we at least get to December.

I have been near the top thus far but haven't been over playing my guys.

Usual suspects.

Piney Boy is loaded, but had injury issues.
Your team is nicely balanced and has a very good small lineup
Amit is solid, but I wonder at his upside
My team is very high, or very low, with a couple of stats in the middle.

Just saying.

I don't think Kobe approves of Mike Browns coaching.

Nash goes out and the Lakers win. Is there a chemistry lesson in here?

Only, I think, that it takes players a bit of time to gel, get to know each other's preferences/tendencies, etc. Ultimately, I think the Lakers will be well served by having added great players like Nash and Howard. But just as the LeBron-Wade-Bosh trio took some time to gel and had numerous bumpy stretches their first year together, so will this Lakers group.

Subtract one HC. How will they do with an interim?

So somebody needs to tell my players that we're trying to execute a punt assists strategy. I didn't expect to have any double-digit assist performances all year, and now I'm up to two (Greg Monroe, James Harden), and neither one from my PG-eligible chuckers. At least K-Love is back. Watch out, league!

I know what you mean. I figured to do well in big man stats and struggle in the PG stats. So far I have been kicking tail in Ast, Stl and 3pt, but not so much in FG%, Reb and Blk.

I have this paranoid feeling that my team is only good enough to be in the bottom of the top-half. Mediocrity here we come.

Here is something that will make you feel better - You are better than me though.

[JudeBaldo]

I wonder if this...

[JudeBaldo]

led to this...

[B-Fly]

Whatever led to it, I love it. This Nets team is nobody's pushover. At this point, anything other than a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference would be a major disappointment.
