Honestly, if you're actually active even if you have no earthly idea what you're doing, you can still be moderately successful, like my dad, case in point (Texas Mustangs).

Sometimes, luck falls your way, and sometimes it spits in your face.

If everyone were active, the leagues would be at least 25% more competitive.

Yeah, but it's hard sometimes finding people who will draft teams and stay competitive and active throughout.

...

I'm just ready to draft and start the season.
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

Not at all. I'm ready to get started and dominate then get eliminated in the playoffs by some lucky scrub again
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

I'm going to trying to do some mocks from different positions over the next 3 days before our draft starts. Never know where our drafting positions will be.
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

Yeah, unless I randomize drafting positions myself and let everyone know beforehand what they'll be like I was going to do last time.
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

Where's the fun in telling everyone where they'll be drafting? Part of the fun of fantasy is drafting your team with the opening cards your dealt, namely your 1st round drafting position.
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

Some people want to know. Not that I care in any case, because I intend to be prepared no matter where I am.

Also, CP3 to LAC.

Paul and Griffin can, at least for one year, be a force to be reckoned with, and the Clippers will have their best shot to make the playoffs in years.

When was the last time the Clips made it into the NBA Playoffs? Mid 90's?
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

Something like that. Actually, have they ever been in the playoffs? I think that's just a myth.

Well, in my opinion, it wasn't worth it. True, they essentially gave Gordon and a first round pick to get CP3, but it's not a trade I care for. Remember that Billups said he would not play for a team that claimed him off waivers, but he might have changed his mind for a young Clippers team going up. Now, you have Billups on the bench for sure (unless he is okay with playing at two guard), which he won't care for, which means retirement. Shame that a player such as him can't find a permanent place on a team, though.
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

I think the Clippers got into the playoffs, but it was so long ago...
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

Hmm, there are a lot of interesting teams in the West, while it seems like some teams in the East (Charlotte, Toronto, Detroit, Milwaukee, etc.) are in constant rebuilding stages. Kinda reminds me of the AFC compared to the NFC in our fantasy football league.
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

The Clippers were in the playoffs in 2006. I'm actually watching that year of the playoffs right now on Youtube.
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

Oh yeah, against the Suns I believe. Must have been an early exit.

Guy, you taking CP3 again this year?
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

Not sure yet, we'll see.

The Clippers upset the Nuggets in the 3-6 match up and then lost to the Suns in 7 in the second round, they weren't half bad.

Prediction Time

1 Heat
2 Bulls
3 Celtics
4 Knicks
5 Magic
6 Hawks
7 Pacers
8 76ers


1 Mavericks
2 Thunder
3 Lakers
4 Spurs
5 Clippers
6 Grizzlies
7 Suns
8 Blazers

Houston is screwed, Denver has his players in China, Portland can't get healthy but still has enough I guess. I also think that Chauncey would want to play for the Clippers now that they have a more decent set-up and have a good shot of making it long bar injuries.. They just need another erserve role player like Dalembert or Haddadi
 
RE: PokeBeach Sports Discussion Thread - Get your head in the game!

I just don't like this CP3 deal with the Clippers in the long term. If he decides to leave after his contract is over, they're screwed. Yes, the Clippers look good for a couple years, but really, they can't contend with just these players, not right now.
