Took my week one matchup, 6-3, despite having only 4 games from Kessler and Sengun, and losing Missi after one game and Mathurin after 2. Still don’t have Garland, though next week is discussed as a possible return date.

Escaped because of Stocks, with Monk, DWhite, and roster add BLopez really helping Sunday with like 7-8 of each. Also swapped Missi for Detroit’s Stewart for as long as he’s healthy which can help Stocks as well.

FG% and Turnovers are going to be losses almost every week, but I think I’ll be competitive in FT% when healthy simply because my team will take a lot of FTs amongst the guards and wings.

I dominated 3s, Points, Assists, and held my own nicely in Rebounds vs a team with a C games advantage this week. So I think I’ll be strong there. Stocks will decide Majority of my weeks but outside of matchups vs Wemby, I think I can win Blocks most weeks with a 30ish average.

Now to play the defending champ (dude who denied me back to back) with a healthy roster and Curry, Barnes, Lauri who won his matchup 6-3 as well.

I think I fair better in Rebounds and Blocks this week, but 3s could be a challenge. FG% might be in play.

2-0, barely winning 5-4 and taking steals by a lone swipe.

Attrition is mounting.

Garland and Mathurin need to return ASAP even in limited roles. Kessler missing this next week. Monk missing multiple games split between Saturday and Today and maybe beyond. Mitchell still has a Hammy issue. Both Sharpe and White have been GTD multiple games.

I’ve added Rollins from Milwaukee, Stewart from Pistons, and Diabate from Charlotte, waiving Wells.

I need White and Murphy to find their 42-45% shooting. Both have been exceptionally bad at FG% this season. Like 35% most games.

Grimes is finding a nice groove.

I've been obliterated two weeks in a row. Made some decent waiver wire pickups but it hasn't been enough.

Kessler missing entire season from second week in is next level dedication to tanking by Ainge.

Absolutely brutal. I picked up Queen from New Orleans while Zion is out. But I’m probably gonna be forced to make a trade for a #2 Center for rebounds and blocks and FG%.

 

[JMarkJohns]

3-0. Getting back Garland has been nice. Mathurin should be next in next few weeks. Kessler will hurt eventually, but I have basically turned Kessler/Missi into Diabate/MRobinson/Stewart

I’m OK with that, though Stewart and Robinson will see IL a lot I expect.

Turned Wells into Rollins from
Bucks who has been really good for me.

Disappointed to see not everyone is setting their lineups in this league -- I'm looking at you, Scott's Tots... You really going to leave Curry on your bench for not one but two 40+ point games?

On a personal note, I've scraped by the last couple of weeks, winning 4 out of 7 categories while my guys crawl their way off the injury report... got Fox back, Coby White just had a big return game, still waiting on Mathurin and Miller... Things are trending upward perhaps.

Kinda how it goes tbh. I try to set my lineups a month out but sometimes I forget.

 

[drpill]

Lol and here I am streaming in Kyle effin Kuzma to try to add a few points to my total. It's been fun, though. I've never really even played fantasy b-ball before, was a ff addict years ago but quit and then gave up watching football altogether. The Spurs have been the sum total of my sports fandom for a long time.

 

[JMarkJohns]

Somehow in a week I missed 12 games from Garland, Marhurin, Mitchell, Isaiah Stewart I worked a tie on Sunday despite trailing 2-7 at several points this week.

So 3-0-1 but I face the only 4-0 team this week and still don’t have Garland and Mathurin, if he returns will be on minutes restriction.

Opponent has Jokic, Johnson from Hawks, Murray, Butler, GAllen, though last one is injured maybe, so maybe 3s are in play.

 

[JMarkJohns]

Just realizing I have to play Jokic 4x this fantasy week and Sungun only plays 2x for me.

Gonna be a long ass week

 

[JMarkJohns]

So, after arguably the worst week to matchup with that team, I lost 4-5 or, by 9 Assists or 2 made/missed FTs.

My opponent is now 5-0, so he’s waxing most. Mine was the closest he’s faced thus far.

His top-5 was Jokic, Murray, JJohnson, Butler, Clingan and he got 19 games from them.

Meanwhile, my top-5 of Sengun, Mitchell, Garland, Mathurin, DWhite gave me 14 starts.

There’s your assists and FT%…

So, all told, I feel I competed really well. I’m 3-1-1 on the season.

this week I hold a game advantage and think I will compete well.

Is Scotts Tots still in? That was my old team but I haven't been playing and don't seem to have control of it

It's weird, I can see the league and the team but I don't seem to be able to edit/change lineups. It says I'm not in the league, but the team is there.

I went back to the original invite but just get this error:

[JMarkJohns]

Got my ass whooped this week. One of those throw away the game tape type losses.

So, let’s see how this week goes.

 

[koriwhat]

So I can't manage my team no longer? Thanks Robz.

Thanks for ripping off my team and taking my players. How ridiculous, you convinced Robz to give you control of MY TEAM.

Scott's tots was never his team. I created that name when I first joined a FL years ago so wtf?

My record is trash but then again, I haven't been able to manage MY TEAM.

Yeah, I fucked up on those 2 games because the FL slipped my mind and I wasn't managing it during that week unfortunately. Now, I can't manage MY TEAM at all. Oh well...
