Wingos-Alt/Delete...Swat-Nitecaps...Invaders-P4...Ticket-ETeam
Invaders keep it going with Embiid(Bagley)...Griff(Parker)...Derozan(Hood)...Harden(Russell)...Wall(Williams)...Kanter(Clarkson)
Made and error above make Sabonis not Bagley the backup for Embiid
Wingos sucked windo in Match 8, regroup for Match 9:
1-Kemba (Fox)
2-Hardaway (Monk)
3-Giannis
4-Tobias (Allen)
5-Millsap (DeAndre)
U-Butler (Ball)
E Team:
Hey, it doesn't look like anybody noticed this: Detroit appears to be a Late Call for Match 9. There was no way for them to go early since they had only one game in the last match period, but they're at home Monday against Cleveland, then play at Houston later in the Match 9 window, so we're good.
Because we won't have final numbers by Sunday, we will use the current standings - I will update for Match 8 - to determine draft order for the upcoming supplemental. That's good news for the disgruntled Nitecaps, who win the tiebreaker against E Team on (fewer) points and will get the coveted top pick. I'll be dropping my entire roster - a new rule I just decided unilaterally to implement - so there should be some talent available. But not much.
E Team:
Drummond 5 (Valenciunas)
LaMarcus 4 (Kuzmama's boy)
Beal 2 (McGruder)
Lowry 1 (Westbrook)
AaGordon 3 (Ingram)
Shroder 6 (Nurkic)
Alt-Delete
1 Conley (Jackson)
2 Olidipo (Hield)
3 Kawhai (Fornier)
4 LBJ (Saric)
5 Cauley-Stein (Horford)
6 Klay (Rubio)
Wingos inquire as to when the second supplemental will be? This Sunday? What time?
E Team:
Winge-O, it was on the last score blog. The proposal is for 11 AM Sunday. I pick second, so I'll be ready to go by 11:05.
Curry (Gary Harris)
Kyrie (Kris Dunn)
Khris Mid (Rob Covington)
Kev D (otto porter)
Gasol (Myles Turner)
Whiteside (josh richardson)
Swat went same:
Damien 1 - T. Young 1
D.Mitch 2 - J. Murray 1/2
Tatum 3 - A. Aminu 3/4
Vucevic 4 - Ayton 4/5
KAT - 5 - Ayton 4/5
LaVine - 6 - T. Young 6
Sean I hope you don't have a dnp because you're the only one of 7 teams who submitted a lineup who didn't post a separate 6 backups and we have no agreement on the use of the same guy to backup 2 positions.6 teams posted 12 different players, Tom didn't post and Wingos went with 11 different guys choosing not to backup Freak.If your 1/4/5 or 6 is a dnp we will have quite an argument over what should or shouldn't be counted.Since you're my closest rival in 2nd place I'd be put in an unpalatable position as scorekeeper to deny your backups Ayton and Young any points. I would ask you not to force the issue in this manner as I don't want a fight over this.If you want to force a vote which we never really had then logically we'd do it before match 15 but I don't think we should...
I'm completely against the use of the same guy to backup 2 positions as you know but Sean obviously refuses to give up on the idea so we need to vote. Currently 12 separate players must be the rule because in my game against P4 who posted 6 different subs Harris will be the first designated sub to be used in place of Curry so we can't have different rules for one team and for the other 7 (6 posting lineups) That would be unfair.Since Curry is out 10 days it's official for at least this 7 match swing of the schedule that 12 separate men (6 starters and 6 different backups) must stand as the rule. There's no other way to do this unless we have a clearly defined vote before implementing anything different starting Match 15. IF there's to be any change to Sean/Dave and Chris' position then we need to have all 8 people vote...
I agree Mark, it is still the issue we are up against, that we haven't as a league clarified this point of the backups as to of we get to use our best at multiple positions or only one player per backup position.
If I am to the point of having multiple starters looking at a DNP, then I better take that into account in managing my team, with my pick of backup players, and not doubling up those backups.
I currently have no players (knock on wood) that are trending with injuries in multiple positions, so until that time in the management of my team, why can't I have the same backup for multiple positions, as long as they meet that position requirement?
And I know you don't like the Yahoo! position designations Mark, but that is the player position system we are using.
If we truly have league consensus to this, instead of assuming we do just because managers are acquiescing to the managers who posts the longest paragraphs stating their case against it, then let's use the supplemental tomorrow to put it to an actual vote.
It's the American Way!
Sean every team posted 12 except you (Tom didn't post and Chris posted 11 with an empty) Surely you don't expect me or more importantly the league to give you an advantage over everyone else who is posting a separate 12? As I said above you must post 12 different guys until we have a vote with all 8 participants and if your side wins it would begin match 15 so as to not be disadvantageous to anyone because of schedule.This is in keeping with the Match 8 beginning of the separate backup 6. I'm open to voting but not unequal use of subs that everyone else is abiding by at this point. Vucevic is the only guy you have left this match so it won't come up now but next match just post 12 different players and demand we have a vote of all 8 teams between now and match 15.You suggested tomorrow. I will support a full vote but not unilateral moves toward something we haven't agreed on. We must use the separate 12 until match 15 because Harris who backs up Curry is part of P4 12 man post and will play so it's already been used. If you can get a full 8 present tomorrow to vote that's fine That's the American way! With the link I use to get on this blog I can't put headings up so I depend on Tom's use of gmail personal access as blog creator for that Sean it's not a conspiracy making longer blog posts or not having the headings up now.! Long winded answers and real or imagined conspiracies are also the American way! If you can post Supp/Score and vote headings please do so.
Vive la résistance!
E Team:
Mark, why waste your breath? You're trying to put lipstick on a pig.
Our little rogue cabal of action junkies doesn't care whether we do things like adults. It's just about getting all butt hurt if the first random notion that flies out of somebody's ass isn't received like it sprang from the burning bush, whether it actually works or not.
Match 8 was announced as the start of a seven-match trial using a platoon backup system we've discussed since before the start of the season. Five teams out of eight submitted lineups in compliance with that understanding. Another team (P4) had similarly indicated agreement with double lineups in previous matches, but was probably just too goofy to remember the Match 8 deadline. Either way, that's a majority, and I don't recall any discussion about the need for a unanimous vote. The new system is officially in place through Match 14. And there didn't seem to be any resistance to the idea that we would evaluate it at that time to see if it's working and whether to continue or go back to where we were or to consider some other plan. What part of that isn't reasonable?
Here's what part. The part where somebody has to introduce some ill-considered, last-minute amendment that nobody has even talked about and then hold the rest of the league hostage while we listen to a lot of whining and crying about repression and victimization and how the league would be better if blah, blah, blah.
Mark, you're trying to reason with that? Don't you get it? The chaos is the whole point.
Hey, I've got an idea that will keep our starting lineups in alignment with the new multi-purpose backup proposal. Here it is: If you have a starter that is designated at more than one position, his first game of the match period can count at one position and his second at another. Like Sean said, we want the highest-quality guys out there, right? And he's not really filling two positions, because they are different games. Right? It's not like you're counting the same number twice. Fuckin' awesome!
Imagine, you could go with as few as three starters. Mark could go Harden twice, Derozan twice, Blake Griffin twice. Christ, he'd be averaging, like, 270 fp's a match. And we could go down to smaller rosters, like maybe nine guys per team.
Amazing. I don't know why we didn't think of it before! Let's all cut six guys before tomorrow's supplemental, which will suddenly be awesome, and then turn this thing loose for Match 9. Fuck, yeah!
What could go wrong? I don't see anything wrong with it. And hey, anybody who's not on board with this right now, Fuck You! That's right. You suck. That's it. I'm out. Done. I'm tired of this "ridiculous" league.
There was never any intention on my part of allowing any change before match 15. I've said everything you have said before in different ways about how unacceptable dual position backups are except the butt hurt,lipstick on dirty animals action junkies,burning bush, cabal, repression,and other colorful adjectives, etc, The point about how absurd the scores could be in my example are likely true thus far. If we have Sean refusing to cooperate and I'm the scorekeeper I am put in an untenable position of ruling against my closest rival in the standings so we need to resolve this before Swat has the inevitable dnp with Young or Ayton as his dual replacements so What are we going to do about this?
E Team:
It's resolved, Mark. If Sean wants the maximum DNP protection afforded by the platoon system during the seven-match trial, he should back up each of his starters. If he's happy with the 2CR, which certainly isn't what we've been hearing from him and others since last season, then he can go with that.
If someone has an sensible alternate proposal for DNP mitigation, they should make sure they've thought through all the possible ramifications of it and make their case for an up and down vote on the Match 15 lineup post. Wingo, you're a legal expert, you should be able to assist with that. And in the absence of actual yes or no responses - a distinct possibility - we can just go with whatever system is supported by the majority of the lineups submitted on that post.
Simple.
And in the meantime, it would be nice if any discussion on the matter is genuinely about finding something that's acceptable to the greatest number of our owners, instead of engaging in what feels like middle school girls throwing Starburst wrappers in each other's hair when no one is looking.
