I really dislike the 2 game aspect of this that basically forces you out of the players you want and into the ones you don't like Durant. At least Bron was alright as one of the others I didn't want, I do wish there was more of a SC vibe where you actually pick players to be there in 3 weeks time. Interesting that Ham has already said they'll be managing Bron's minutes heavily and that tonight was in line with what they're aiming for.

Jokic solid start though, he's just so freaking good and makes it look so easy.

All part of the game ... lots of luck and strategy involved ...

to sum up day 1....Jokic good, everyone else horrible

Should have just started Booker once I knew Beal was not playing. Now I'm stuck with Cunningham and Bane who could both be spuds. I should probably cull one of them now but not much choices with the cash I have. Could both just be 1 week rentals and then flip them to Bridges and Poole

Looking at how many points KD lost on missed shots....might not be a disaster. Still got rebounds but just bricked it all game looks like, so there is hope for him yet

Slight tweak

A Thompson DET on field
Bane/Miller/Sharpe OUT
Mitchell/Pritchard/Thompson HOU IN

NBA is the only sport on here where people moan about missed shots.
Like everybody is perfect in other sports .

You'd know well enough but as @Connoisseur has alluded to in a previous post ...

- poor shooting night but those rebounds, assists, blocks, steals etc can salvage a score ...
- if he makes 5 of those missed shots he scores 30 DT points ...
- gotta take the good with the bad ...

My recorded stats for him last season were:

32, 25, 38, 27, 39, 32, 44, 39, 37, 30, 25, 47, 35, 38, 30, 33, 33, 26, 21, 35, 32, 54, 43, 30, 31, 36, 33, D, 40, 27, 42, 33, 28, 33, 41, 22, 41, 49, 29, 17, D, 28, 33, 41, D, 12, 34, 39, 14, 27, D

Just to put things in perspective. We are 1 day into a 7 month season.

My past experiences have had me well placed in the top 10 multiple times. Many coaches in this thread would be the same.

I have Curry and Durant. Imo the premiums were really slim on who you could actually take from the off, if past averages sort of played their part.

Things will work themselves out. I know everyone wants 40 point games from their premiums, but just riding the waves and trading well will leave you better off in the long run than where you are on day 1.

Just wanted to point out that now that your team is pretty much set, it’s kinda irrelevant whether you check your team today or on Sunday 😆

On a side note, small sample size but genuinely surprised how many coaches rate Kuminga. Kerr would have started CP3 over Kuminga

SCS 000 20 team

Code 380889

13/20 spots filled - 7 left for whoever wants to join!

Final tweaks, fading SGA early to see how they split the usage with Chet, Williams, Giddey etc

I was starting Bane over Cunningham, but sharpe makes way for D.Rose and field Scoot.

Pritchard my only 2 gamer with plan to save using boost by just trading on field players to the likes of Poole, Simmons etc

Thompson DET not down in the scoring list. Positive or Minus.

Phew ... was getting worried ...

- manual calc has him on 11 pts at the moment

and so it begins:

Cam Thomas on 24 points at HT..

 

[Connoisseur]

Although no PG/SG dual position status, Dyson Daniels (New Orleans Pelicans) could be paired with Scoot Henderson to maximise the schedule in the opening six rounds at the second PG position= 3,4,4,4,4,4

The urge to switch got me. Leonard in over George and over LaVine meant a poor bench but can be rectified in RD2. Daniels on 14 close to HT.

 

[Connoisseur]

Cam Thomas on 24 points at HT..

And should be no price change until RD2 since he plays two games this round before going 4 and 4.

 

[tso]

A Thompson HOU missing as well.
