I want to smash some kid....

someone give me a good lineup trying to make 80 cents over here

[certsguccicerts]

i took out granger and arron afflalo and put in lance stephenson and tobias harris. good move?

and also i took this lineup from jross for a 50/50

50/50
PG: George Hill
PG: Derrick Rose
SG: Ray Allen
SG: Arron Afflalo
SF: Shane Battier
SF: LeStatPadder James
PF: Blake Griffin
PF: Taj Gibson
C: Chris Bosh

Harris is out too. Maybe Harkless (I think his backup) or jimmy butler. Could upgrade elsewhere if you go with harkless

[jalundah]

so I have a question about fantasy basketball as I've never played before.

I'm in a head to head league where you get points for each category(points, assists, rebounds, steals, FG%, etc).

I know that, aside from the %'s, you want to accumulate the most total stats in each of the categories.

Because of this, would it be smart to start an average SF(say, Wilson Chandler) who just happens to play 4 games that week over a star SF like Lebron but only plays 1 or 2 games that week?

west is pretty good, i'm not sure on harkless, but it's only his second year and he hasn't gotten his shot yet. Neve know with these young folk.

Sounds good. Harkless put up some decent fantasy stats last year when all the magic players were getting injured so he could do alright but obv no guarantee

[J2BDifferent]

K they aren't going to be up by 30 pts or anything that crazy. They will dominate the game though

Anyways. Barnes and Crawford are bench guys

How do you guys like this rotogrinders lineup?

[certsguccicerts]

Not too high on Noah personally. Talks about him being less than 100 think I'd rather stick with Hibbert

I know Lebron is expensive but he is a fantasy monster. What type of game is this lineup in?

Noah hates the heat. He owns bosh. Easy pick there. He's getting 30+ fantasy points tonight

[Impurityz]

going to jump in some random $1 game

gonna pick someones lineup @ random and see if they can make me win $.80

[Hoop_Dreams]

What players have really great value for opening night/tomorrow?

I really like Robin Lopez (4,800) at C on the cheap.. he'll get 30 minutes in Portland which makes 12/10/2 very reachable

Also like James Anderson (3,500), Nene (4,400), and Isaiah Thomas (4,200)

Risk you gotta take brah.

Either way, he'll be the predominant ball handler.. Lebron on Rose means Noah, Deng, Boozer.. assist city.

He'll also force shots.. he'll put up points, just might miss a lot, fortunately.. don't lose points for that here.

[TooLateForRoses]

I thought about stealing lineups from you vets but i figured I'd get my feet wet tonight. in 2 50/50s and a tourney, made my own lineups. Hope this goes well lol

Better feed Noah. **** everybody else haha

[LionsBrah]

Joakim Noah (groin) is expected to suit up in Tuesday's opener, but could see his minutes limited.
While Noah should still see enough minutes to make his fantasy owners happy, Tom Thibodeau doesn't seem committed to starting him on Tuesday. Thibodeau said on Monday that he didn't think Noah would see a restriction in his playing time, but this news does contradict that statement a bit. Stay tuned. Oct 29 - 11:08 AM

i wouldnt play Noah..do you guys even research

i do admit the heat suck against centers for sure though..tough one
