There was a draft last night?

Aren't Brand, Oden, Iverson and Z all out of the league???

Preseason ranking: Gladiators - 15th

I have the feeling Max knows something we don't.

Alright, who let the rookie in the league?

You will see how it works once the season begins. Players are eligible for certain positions. Setting your lineup consists of finding the combination of players to place into the available positions to maximize your games for that evening. Most nights, you'll have players on your team with the night off (because their team is off that night). So, say you have 3 players that are off that night. Theoretically, you should be able to field a complete team. That may be difficult depending on who you have on your roster and what positions they are eligible for. With 3 utility spots available, this is highly unlikely.

If you aren't into checking your team every day, you can set your lineup for the entire week (for instance, on Monday). Go to each day of the week, and toggle your lineup so it fills up the starting and utility spots and save it. Go to the next day and do the same thing. Hell, if you know you'll be gone for 3 weeks, you can set your lineup out that far.

Draft Results:

Looking over the draft today, I decided to play a little game called: When were you too wasted to make good choices. The rules are simple, I go over the draft and figure when the alcohol kicked into your system, leaving you stumbling on a pick. The average for a draft of this leangth is for the booze to take hold during the 8th or 9th rounds.

Here are my guesses:

Crazed and Max: too drunk to draft at all.

Narls: Second round, your go with a white guy in Indiana. Were you also too drunk to draft?

Rabman: You admit to not knowing what you are doing, so I'm confused. My guess is dead sober or a little tipsy in the 11th round.

Karma: You drafted in mid-afternoon in Australia, which means you were probably sobering up from breakfast. No booze.

Wahoo: My guess is somewhere in between Ginobili and Camby, you realized it was time to stop drinking.

Pip: Maggette in the 9th round.

TJ: Drunk on the Bucks Kool-Aid since birth, drunk on alcohol as of drafting Jennings.

Cama: Curry in the 8th.

X: Clearly you were holding it together until the Rush pick, then completely went emotional-wasted with Delonte in the 10th. You know how to pound.

CCF: Openly admits to not being able to work a laptop, lives in Chicago, and took a backup power forward in the 6th round. *slow clap*

Smooth: I have the funny feeling he doesn't drink heavily. Robin Lopez in the 11th round seems to be the only evidence of substance use.

Jigo: Another guy I think paced himself carefully with the drinky-drink. He might have been tanked when drafting J.J. Barea in the last round, or just knew whoever he was drafted was getting dropped anyways. Did your woman give you a little talk about drinking and typing?



As for me, the whiskey kicked in when I went blind on a Dunleavy selection. I then switched to water for about 15 minutes to get refocused.



Okay, how did I do on my guesses?

There was a draft?

Spot on - I believe I had switched to Jungle Juice by the time the draft had started. When your friend says, "Hey, you can finish off that bottle, it's cool," it's actually a trap...I was more down the toilet than Larry Hughes' career.

*Note on that joke - I know it's God awful, but ever since that little rumor about him coming back sprouted up, I've been dying to take a shot against him.

CCF line - well done. Made me laugh. It's kinda awkward trying to acknowledge someone was funny online...

Say what?

1. I don't drink so the former sounds about right.
2. I never said I didn't know how to draft, just learning about how things work. I'll be fine.
3. I'm just slow with my picks. Nothing wrong with making the best possible choice, right?

I don't think I'm too bad off, at least I'm not wasted...

A. This is me talking smack, don't take it too seriously.

B. I was correct in saying you drafted sober, sooooooooo...

Believe it or not...I consider the guy an absolute steal. If Kidd goes down, Barea has proved he can run the point for that team in short bursts and he puts up real nice numbers doing it.

The hope is that I never have reason to use him. :chuckles:

All that said...I was undrunk for the draft. I WAS tanked Saturday when I went to the UCF/Miami game. Almost got in a couple fights for the first time in a long time. Felt good.

I knew it, you sober bastard.

Look who is 4/4 so far!

Drunk since breakfast? If it was a Sunday morning instead of Monday you may be on to something. I think I may have hit the piss when I drafted a center who initials are O.P.

Silly Aussie in denial. I count this for 5/5.

I never stopped drinking during my draft. And I wanted high value players when I chose Delonte, I said in the chat it was between him and McGrady.

As for the Rush pick, he is the starting 2 guard in Indiana right now, and he put up decent stats at the end of last year when he played consistent minutes.

My only stupid pick was Nick Young, but I'll fix that later.

I smell 6 for 6. Thanks for your candor and drug abuse, X.

It's okay, I'm still going to win this league. I drafted horribly last season and still managed a 3rd place finish. It's okay to admit defeat this early Keys, I won't hold it against you.

Well, now my dreams are shattered. It's my birthday, you son of a bitch.
