Gee whiz, I hope guys are planning to be at their computers this afternoon. Very little traffic on here.
I still don't know what we're supposed to do with Dave's 10th-round pick. Is it reasonable to let him make it before we start the supplemental, or would that reward him unfairly after he neglected to get it done on draft night? Maybe we should compromise and let him pick two players when his turn comes up. That seems fair, but hey, you guys decide.
I like Dave's idea to simply resume the draft where we left off, since that is what would've happened if we hadn't run long. It doesn't seem right to reward teams for losing a match or two in the first week of the season. That would punish teams scheduled to pick next for having won theirs.
And should we go two rounds or four or all five? Perhaps that will depend on who shows up. And those that don't participate? Do we let them sift through the remnants afterward?
if all 8 participate then we should finish the draft in the same order w/4 more players and make it a get 1 with a drop 2nd option for the next supp so no more than 2 players can be picked 2 weeks from today.That is how we did it last year as I recall
I neglected to make my pick??? I was informed by Wingo's that I would be called or texted. Eric, I texted you with no response.
I should get the first pick and then go back to the order. This is an easy one. Hell anyone who picked after where I should have picked should have their picks rescinded.
Wow. Look at you guys. A well-oiled machine. Nice. And I see what you're doing; the clock starts when the previous guy makes his pick. Fine then. We're all here. That should work. Carry on.
Unless Ticket objects, I welcome the Swat Team back to the fold to begin the Jordan Crawford era. And speaking of Ticket, can you go, Tom? Otherwise I'll slide over to my porn site and be lost for the rest of the draft.
Jordan Crawford is currently only listed as a SG but he is the starting point guard for the Celtics last 2 games so that PG eligibility should be in after another week or 2.How strict do we want to be on a case like this?
Mark, I think we've agreed to stick with the early ESPN designations for the season. Debating positions is what we've tried to get away from. Crawford is a 2 because the Celtics have Rondo. Period.

Not a lot of chatter here for a bunch of guys who are planning to draft as many as four rounds tomorrow.
Perhaps we should only plan on drafting two. We are a week earlier than normal with the supplemental.
I vote for two rounds, back in the game.
Swat
What time? 4?
Swat
E Team says:

Doesn't sound like we'll have full house so 2 pick supp?
Almost forgot.

I neglected to make my pick???
I was informed by Wingo's that I would be called or texted. Eric, I texted you with no response.

E is on the clock until 5:16
No kidding
It's Eric's pick

God, this is fun.
Unknown is Wingos

P4s are on the clock. They said they'd be here. They have until 5:20 (it's five minutes per pick), then the Nitecaps go again.
And yes, Dave, you're welcome from all of us for letting you watch a few games before making your 10th-round selection.
Eric, you' re late. Dave already took his 10th round pick, this is his 11th, Next is Invaders and me...
E Team:
Wow. Look at you guys. A well-oiled machine. Nice.
And I see what you're doing; the clock starts when the previous guy makes his pick. Fine then. We're all here. That should work. Carry on.
Invaders take Markieff Morris
What do I have to welcomed for? Oh yeah...Drafting from a restaurant with no reference material.
Thank you!
Maybe we can consider doing future supps at a later hour, maybe 7 or 8? Allow people to finish their days business.
Just a thought.
Wingos take Lance Stephenson
Good one Hawthorne every fantasy team needs a defensive stopper
Nitecaps are a whiny bitch - their team is better due to the restaurant draft...
E Team:
Dave. It's Sunday. And drafting from the dining room at the cabaret was your choice, not ours.
Make no mistake Wingo...My team is better due to a keen sense of talent evaluation
Good point and I never realized how much showgirls where in to fantasy basketball.
SWAT missed their window. Ticket?
E Team:
Who the hell is Lance Stephenson? He sounds like a guy who coaches swimming in Southern California.
He's doing your mom as we blog...
Ticket has until 5:34
Swat is going Jordan Crawford PG
Eric he's a stud high school star from NY who had a very troubled background was one and done at Cincy" I think
E Team:
That's funny, because my mom is in California right now.
Also SG
Too late for SWAT. Eric?
E Team: Yeah! Swat Team in the house!
Who's calling Ticket?
Didnt realize have to I have to refresh every time" so s.ow going
E Team:
Unless Ticket objects, I welcome the Swat Team back to the fold to begin the Jordan Crawford era. And speaking of Ticket, can you go, Tom? Otherwise I'll slide over to my porn site and be lost for the rest of the draft.
Invaders are picking for Tom who just called in Kanter and Gortat
Sweet
SWAT redux
E Team:
Look at Tom, beefing up with some orthodox giants.
Way to keep it in the tribe.
E Team:
Gortat, best Polish big since Konstantin Popa!
Swat goesDeAndre Jordan PF, C
E Team:
Let's go, people. I'm not here for my health.
SWAT misses window. Wingos pick Bargnani.
Jordan Crawford is currently only listed as a SG but he is the starting point guard for the Celtics last 2 games so that PG eligibility should be in after another week or 2.How strict do we want to be on a case like this?
Invaders pick?Assuming it is I'll take Eric Gordon a 2 for the Pelicans
Invader, Nitecaps, P4, E
E Team:
Mark, I think we've agreed to stick with the early ESPN designations for the season. Debating positions is what we've tried to get away from. Crawford is a 2 because the Celtics have Rondo. Period.
Dammit.
I'll take Jimmy Butler SG,SF
Marcel Lampje was more recent Pole better than popa who I thought was Romanian?
Agree with E
E Team:
Are we stopping after two rounds?
.tix says post comment from phone jammed. Thanks Mark 4 taking my poles to enlist in the draft.
Crawford is showing as both PG, and Sg on yahoo" most added
Wingos would rather go 4, leave one spot open...
P4 takes JJ Redick @ 2
E:
Wait, I forgot about Zarko Paspalj. Was he Polish?
There was also a 7-4 Pole named Tryzbanski or something similar who was cut by the Bulls
Second WIngo
We done now? 2 round supp n 2 wks?
E Team says:
Right in the middle of the Eastern European reverie, the E Team snaps up the Bulldozer of the Balkans,
Nikola Pekovic
Ya!
Tix votes to stop draft after round 12.p4 and swat mia.
Zarko was a Croat or Slovenian Yahoo is much more liberal on positions Sean do we decided to use ESPN
Eric,
Is it two or four rounds?
I can go two more swat
I vote 4 rounds
Who knows when everyone will show up at one time again
E Team:
Sockeye is up.
And then are we done? Let's go straight-up vote.
Invaders may be unable to do supp in 2 weeks so I'd vote to continue
I feel like I should pick now? Ilyasova 3,4
Wingos wants to go four.
Ilyasova not available. on my team.
E Team:
Jim, Ilya is gone.
How am I MIA?
Oops, then Randolf Quigley Foye, 1,2
Tix says to swat and p4 to pick twice then to catch up with rest ok with all?
E Team:
Jim, pick twice. We're goin' four. Somebody alert Tom.
Eric, I think 4 has the votes. Jim, take another...
E Team:
Tobias Harris. I think he's SF, PF.
Ticket must have missed SWAT and P4 picks m- they are current. SWAT - J. Crawford & DeA. Jordan; P4 - Iggy & Redick.
If JJack is still around 1,2.
E:
Oops, I jumped the gun. My bad.
Nice pick E
E Team says;
Sean. Per the Crawford thing: No offense, but we don't care what Yahoo says. We decided to abide by the ESPN Fantasy rater.
And Jim, I think Jack may be a PG only.
I'll stay with my Harris pick.
Germans?
E:
Thanks, Dave. I knew you'd appreciate that.
If he wasn't hurt he would have gone 6 rounds earlier.
I feel asleep on him
Pekovic stll around?
Fine, espn sucks.
Jack is a pg currently so who's pick now?
E-ESPN claims JJack is 1,2
Pekovic is E team
Jarrett Jack, Cle PG
In the interest of representing all the former Yugoslavs I'd like to note that Pekovic who Eric took is from Montenegro
kidd Gilchrist
Brandon Knight (SG)
Knightcaps...
E:
Jim, check ESPN Fantasy, not regular ESPN. And maybe we should submit position designations with our picks just to make sure we're all clear on it.
Invaders select Dion Waiters Cavs 2 guard
E:
Mark, Wingo, Swat and then Ticket is done for the night with two picks.
Wingos select Wilson Chandler
Swat goes ZBo, dammit Wingos was going Chandler

I say we wait two weeks and then go Drop one/Pick two, as per tradition.
Well done, people. Thirty two picks in 105 minutes. That's just over three minutes per selection. Not bad.
Let the games resume. And Happy Veterans Day to all.
Later all!
