still, i think they lost some zing...to their toughness and defense when big ben moved to Chicago....but atleast their freethrow % went up...lol

The unpredictable Warriors embarrass and beat the Pistons badly, 111-79, the game was over after the second quarter, at halftime...

the same Pistons beat the Lakers the night before... :beaten: :headscratch:

yet, i think the Lakers...on a decent night, can beat the Warriors....i think. :bonk:

I can see that their success is because of team effort, but I still hate them. :beaten:

The New Jersey Nets beat the Washington Wizards in OT 105-93. :victory: Jason Kidd had his 77th career triple-double finishing the game with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 18 assists! :applaud: :thumbsup:

that's right. you are a big NJ nets fan...

Clippers and Sacramento win again...
Phx is last in the division, but they should pick it up soon...cause they are off to a very slow start...even the GS warriors are ahead of them. :beaten: :doh:

Yeah, the Suns are not doing well despite Nash and Marion's great performance. They badly need Stoudamire's presence (the 100% Amare that is). GS Warriors are no surprise with Don Nelson as their head coach. I can tell that if they were in a weaker division (like the Northwest division), they would probably be in the lead. :bonk:

Could this be their year?? (to go to the playoffs) :fingerscrossed:

I still don't know why I torture myself.

Yup, well that is if all the key players will stay healthy throughout the season. :sweat: I mean, they are in a division where the competition is tight, so somehow they have to keep their key players healthy to win games and keep up with the likes of the Suns, the Clippers and even the Lakers.

The Nets bowed to the Sonics 119-113, Richard Jefferson didn't play due to his injury (sprained ankle I believe). Talk about being healthy :shakehead:

I think the most unpredictable team so far is the GSW's....the way they play, get beaten to a pulp one night, and go out and whip up a good team the next day with a victory.

Suns, off to a sluggish start, maybe it'll take a while for them to gel together and start winning...

Warriors win another game... :woot:

Clips get beaten badly to a pulp by the Jazz in Utah.... :beaten: :beaten:

I believe the key to the Warriors' success (aside from its key players) is the improvement of Andris Biedrins' game. The guy is the Warriors' answer to the center position when they lost Erick Dampier to the Mavs. He has the potential to be the Nenad Krstic of last year. ;)

And Biedrins scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, I'm so glad I picked him up off the free agents pool in the other NBA fantasy league I'm in :woot: :mrgreen:

He also had some key blocks in the game. :woot:

which reminds me...i haven't check'd my fantasy league team in a month....i don't think i am doing too well, team feels neglected :doh: :sweat:

Adam Morisson, the rookie, scores 27 to lead the lowly hornets over the Spurs....95-92

Kings hang on to win over the Grizzles, 115-111, Bibby scores 32 points.

Yeah, right now you are actually second to the last in the team standings. :sweat: There are 2 other inactive teams in the league. If these teams (including yours) will not setup their lineup until december then I'm afraid I will have to lock these teams (the managers will no longer have access to their team) and let the bot (AI) do the managing of these teams. So you better do your job and setup your lineup :beatyou: :sweat:

New Jersey Nets win against Milwaukee Bucks 100-87 :woot:

Houston hangs on to win, at home, against the Bulls 101-100

Warriors playing Kings...high flying no defense all offsense type game...Warriors up 65-53 in a high scoring half....doubt they can keep it up, but let's see what the final score will be.

Baron dishes out 11 assists in the first quarter!, and adds one more in the second. :bonk: along with 16 points.

Warriors whip the Kings in Oakland, 117-105.
Baron Davis lead all scores with an awesome performance with 36 points, 18 assists, and 8 rebounds. :bonk: :applaud:

how do you set up your team's line up...?
i am tempted to just coast and let the AI take over....i've lost some of the desire..although Ron Artest had a decent game in a loss for the Kings. I've yet to setup my team, i thought i assigned the players their positions on my team? :bonk: :beatyou:

Go to your team page and you'll see a game schedule of some of your players next to their drop-down box. It means that these players have a game on the date that appears on your team page, so you should place those in the starting lineup by clicking the drop-down box and choose their respective positions. Those who don't have games on that day should be placed on the bench for you won't get any stats from them. Then click submit button which can be seen at the bottom of the team roster. You may setup your team in advance by clicking the next dates located above the team roster and below the smack message. Anyway, you can check out how I setup my team to make things clearer for you. :)
