Oh, so that's how it is. David Lee, a guy who hadn't missed a game all season, scratches minutes before game time. Just like that. No warning. Nothing.
When I saw he hadn't played, I was kind of hoping to learn that somebody poked him in the eye during the shootaround.
Oh well. Maybe somebody will shoot Zach Randolph before he can suit up.
If not, congrats and best wishes to my able competitor and friend, the XMan.
If in fact Zach doesn't over extend himself at the local strip club and finds away to tally the 9 or so points needed. Let it be known, we didn't want it to go down like this. This will somehow feel like a deflating victory. We will however be wearing an E on our jerseys in the big game.
Just a thought... While I realize and have accepted that DNP's are part of the game. Maybe we can incorporate a post season change. What if playoff teams could submit a two deep lineup. R. Westbrook (R. Stuckey)
I realize that this doesn't work during the regular season, for a variety of reasons. But typically the teams in the playoffs have battled all season, made roster moves, posted their lineups, checked injury reports and been a contributing player. In other words, guys we want. So to be so harshly penalized at such a critical time, well it stinks and can leave a sour taste in your mouth. While DNP's suck at all points of the season, a good deal of them are self inflicted. I also understand that we should not try to help those who can't help themselves and that we will all be a victim at one time or another. But maybe just a little tweak for the playoffs would be the right thing to do? Thoughts?
Invaders think adding it just for the playoffs isn't adequate-all the time for any changes or don't bother-I favor weekly(or bi-weekly) free agency or a 7th player only if we can't change the free agent policy...
The favorites may postpone their autobahn joyride to the finals until Spring. Plus Vier:

Ticket says DBS 196-168 P4 holds the Mayo (30) for Curry's Net Zero. Blown op could haunt krauts headed for Shooter's Rose-y outlook. If DBS advances, he'll face fellow "second time" playoff entry...
Caps 198-159 E-Team's without a pivot. That daily transaction sheet Cap clamors for appears to sway the dick-tator, it's biggest opponent.
Invaders 149-146 McCarthyists. Harris & Davis benched for repeat DNP KMart. The league's master NBA officianado no doubt enjoyed Terrapin's Vasquez passing Len Bias to trail only Juan freakin' Dixon on all-time scorer chart. Three buckets by Vasquez in the last minute all for nought because of a Mich. St. buzzer beater that might not have happened if the assist had clipped a Spartan's ducking head.
Nets 190-147 Ticket, who now regrets slight scoring lead and half game advantage over Invaders after match 40. With Hibbert his only pivot, Ticket must usurp Team Rash-a-Lew. of the Ancien Regime.

Since DBS didn't use Calderone's 13 or Conley's Sat. night pick up line, a trophy asterisk for P4 may be considered.
E Team says:
Tom, go back to the lineup post. Stacy did sub Calderon for Rose. And JRich for JoeJohn.

It appears Invaders and Ticket could both lose to teams that don't change their lineups!!
Invaders eke out 149-146 victory over McCarthy types.Invaders win despite early West ejection resulting in only 5 points...
E Team says:
Hey look. David Lee put up a 56 today. That's nice.
