Hoop Social said...

Invaders go w/Howard/P.Gasol/Beasley/Conley/Gordon and Horford off his 20/20 last game..

Hoop Social said...

Tom do you realize you're starting 3 Italian guys???Manu and Scola are part of the the large Italian population in Argentina.Invaders are ready for Ticket's Italian legions...

Hoop Social said...

E Team says:

Tom, maybe you can trade for Bargnani and pick up Nocioni in an upcoming supplemental. Then you can go all-Italian. Just be warned, they're kind of hard-headed and a little loud.

Hoop Social said...

Invaders think Belinelli or Delfino would work for thy all Italian team

Hoop Social said...

Swat goes for Match 9:

Harris, Curry, Durant, KLove, AlJeff, Bargnani

After the scrutiny I was under for my Dx assisted sub, you get none of my Italians, AND I spit on your shoes.

Hoop Social said...

Invaders aren't questioning Nitecap message service for Swat but like the explaination of being on the way for "whooping cough" shot-I haven't heard of that particular affliction in many years-people still get that??Also perhaps Sean should apply some other wet substance of a yellow color to Tom's shoes as would be the custom in Napoli....public urination is still common there and on the Adriatic coast...

Ticket says
I just watched Borat. His grizzly bear on a road trip has me cackling on the (volunteer) job days later.
So you hyenas laugh at my guinea pigs? Have you forgotten the foot speed of Ernie DiGregorio?... the Willis Reed shoes John Gianelli filled?...the two titles won by both Lou Carnasecca & Ticket, not to mention Milwaukee's Larry (?) Costello with Lew/Kareem? Of course not. You just want me to trot out my Augustin monk to complete this Italianate tragic picture. Where's my Nino Rota soundtrack from "The Godfather"?
Ticket sleeps with the fishes.

nitecaps said...

Nitecaps vs DJ Kontrol

R. Westbrook
K. Martin
N. Batum
Z. Randolph
A. Stoudamire
D. Rose

How do I know that where it says "E-Team says" Is actually Eric? or Tom? or ???

Perhaps I should sign in anonymously with the user name "Hoop Social"?
Maybe then I won't be questioned for giving a professional fantasy courtesy.
Anyway...

Ticket says...

Hibbert out Bogut in.

Hoop Social said...

Ticket has inspired Invaders to plumb the depths of his brain to come up w/more Italians in basketball-history of Italians in basketball starts w/Hank Lusetti who invented the jump shot while at Stanford-Costello's back court mate w/the old Syracuse Nats(Sixers today)was Al Bianchi who later ran the Knicks-My favorite Italian was Rudy LaRusso who played for the Warriors and Lakers-Vinny Del Negro and Mike D"Antoni had great carrers in Italy though born here..Tom Gugliotta was an over rated player for many years-but Italians shine as coaches including Dick Motta-Jon Calipari-PJ Carlesimo-Mike Fratello and Dick Vitale to name a few-Rollie Massimino won the NCAA w/Villanova-Tom Izzo is of note as well-what about Tom's former favorites the Nets w/Melchionni in the back court?He rode the pines for Wilt's world champion Sixers that went 68-13..Kobe speaks fluent Italian...

Hoop Social said...

Invaders forgot Valvano won it all w/NC state as well

Hoop Social said...

Invaders also forgot Rick Pitino further solidifying the theory that Italians make excellent coaches...

Hoop Social said...

Ticket says
Googs was the best of his countrymen to lend me his ears back in my heckler years. Every bit as vital to the Wolves' young trio as KG & Marbury. But big white stiff tag crept quickly up on this sharp shooting banger who E-Team drafted and beat me in fantasy on a night I attended Googs rookie season visit here.

Scola could be another Googs. The Itals in the NBA pre-segregation-before teams were free to foot almost all black teams- are hard to appreciate with so few drops of blood outside the African American pool of talent. Better Euro footing from eastern bloc lineage: Dirk, Landesberger (a foreigner?) with the Bullets, Sabos, Petro, Kukoc, Peja & possibly Darko's day has come. DiGregorio, Melchioni, Googs, Scola & Ginobli couldn't stop E-Team on D...if he bothered to cross center court to play offense.

Hoop Social said...

From Swat:

I'll drop Marcus Thornton (SG) and pickup Charlie Villanueva (SF,PF)

November 21, 2010 8:18 PM

Ticket says fine, but drops should be placed before the supplemental draft. If Invaders wants Marcus Thornton to replace his dropped Al Thornton instead of Jameer, he can switch. Either Thornton at present reminds me of another named Bob for NY.

Swat's call to Nitecap's OK. Had Ariza not been subbed, I'd have won with a sub 150, not near the worst score to win a match in league history. As for Hibbert, he was like my third best guy for posting 30's 70% of the time. Both times I've used him he's gotten into foul trouble. Why against Bosh but not D How the previous game is beyond me. Bosh & KG would havwe given me 35's vs Invaders Monday, but I can't predicty what my bigs will do to save my life. Gooden looks better healthwise than Bogut these days. Thanks for your concern Nitecaps. Feel free to change my selection of centers since no one can fare worse than me.

Hoop Social said...

Tom-Invaders aren't sure if Nitecaps was joking about Hibbert-Bogut switch-is that what you wanted originally?I could've played Granger and Nash instead of Conley and Horford so don't feel you're only one one having selection problems-BoB Thornton was a 6-10 FWG(fake white guy)from Cal Irvine who had no business playing in the NBA.Landesberger was an American Scandavian from Minnesota who dropped out early like Pryzbilla..his greatest claim to fame was while w/the Lakers being filmed pathetically trying to guard Erving during the finals and giving up an incredible baseline cross under cradle dunk...

Hoop Social said...

One of the Seven Acient Viruses of the World, Whooping cough is back in the news and on the rise, and I am spending the holidays with my two nephews and pregnant sister-in-law, so my wife "suggested" I get the shot, it came with a tenus booster so I can start playing with sharp, rusty objects again in my variety show.

Hoop Social said...

That was for Invaders from Swat...or was it?

Hoop Social said...

Sorry Tom, I'll make sure and drop first next time.

Hoop Social said...

Hey, I am assuming P4's lineup for Match 9 is as follows from Match 8?:

Paul, Pierce, Dirk, G. Wallace, B. Lopez, Griffin

Swat

Hoop Social said...

Invaders thank Swat-wasn't aware of resurgent nature of this problem -that is the P4 lineup..

nitecaps said...

Hey SB, I love a good variety show! Any chance there will be an appearance from Shields & Yarnell, Sha Na Na, any of the Mandrell Sisters, Tony Orlando and/or Dawn or my personal favorite...The Captain and Tenille.
I will settle though for any members of the Brady Bunch and or at least two muppets.
Ooh, ooh wait...how about a couple of Solid Gold Dancers?
Or maybe a spokes model. I may still have a Star Search connection
Keep me posted.
