2022 ILH fantasy hoops league starting up in here

Post by um, i mean... im sure weve all seen the videos, so... that will help (Spottie) from ILH Fantasy Talk on ILX - ILH Fantasy Talk

Draft will be in a couple weeks. Forks won last year with an auto-drafted team and we all shamed the name of ILH by letting it happen

I was depressed thinking about watching the wolves this year but then these posts reminded me that ant edwards is on the team. At least there’s something to cheer for there

I know it's preseason, but I'M WATCHING HOOPS GUYS! Do we need a new thread?

lord i hope the refs stick with this one

"Not this year!"

yeah theres something that's so irksome about it when it happens. it would be like an MLB player leaning into a pitch for a cheap base

otm, that’s a great comparison that captures why it is so soul-crushing to see it happening all the time. If they can consistently no-call those I would think they’ll actually disappear pretty quick.

Funny to see what a reflex it is for Curry. I agree it will disappear if no-called/called on the offense. Good riddance!

Wiggins: “I had a bad reaction a few years to Tylenol and since then I haven’t wanted to take anything. Let stuff heal naturally. … In this case, I had covid and it wasn’t that bad. I didn’t want to take the chance. I don’t know if it causes cancer or anything like that.”

Bol Bol actually did try in last night’s game. If that was the normal state you’d have something

ESPN Sources: The Phoenix Suns’ reluctance to offer a maximum rookie contract extension to former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton has stalled discussions on a deal: https://t.co/8WottY6jYf

Sarver trying to save a couple dollars I’m sure

the chances of ayton not getting the max are 0.00% why even bother

yeah i'd be tempted to try this too if i were thinking about his actual value but all you do in this case is piss off the player

he had to give chris paul $30m a/y til hes 40 you see

cant believe this clown head franchise almost won the chip

yeah i'd be tempted to try this too if i were thinking about his actual value but all you do in this case is piss off the player

yeap

Yah it’s not that hard Sarver u moron

that first max is almost never an albatross too just because its not that big and players who get it are still improving

Who is the best defensive player in the NBA?
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee – 47%
2. Rudy Gobert, Utah – 17%
3. Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee – 10%
Kawhi Leonard, LA Clippers – 10%
4. Ben Simmons, Philadelphia – 7%
> Also receiving votes: Jimmy Butler, Miami; Anthony Davis, L.A. Lakers; Draymond Green, Golden State
> Last year: Giannis Antetokounmpo – 46%

gm survey https://www.nba.com/news/2021-22-gmsurvey

interesting that the gms prefer giannis to gobert so srongly when goberts getting all the award votes, dray also robbed tho its kind of understandable as hes not at the stage in his career anymore where he brings it every night

to be clear i would throw gobert in the trash hes a liability

on defense?

yeah i mean it starts with him not being able to do anything on offense which then allows teams to go small on him and pull him away from the basket on D where hes not great

i think giannis is better either way but gobert at 2 is fine

jazz have done great with him obvs but players like him have kind of been solved

the contrast between him and ayton in the offs was telling, ayton can punish you for going small and moves his feet better on the perimeter, where rudy was just getting wrecked in both of those situations

surely theres some value to your team getting 50 wins every year with a medium roster even if you need other guys to win you games in the offs

idk you need your stars to be good in the playoffs its kinda the whole deal, hes basically a guy who plays very well in his system but is too easy to scheme against to be getting defense player of the year consideration IMHO

giannis and dray type guys is what you want super physical players who run around blowing up plays guarding everyone doing everything

simmons is like that too except it would be better if he liked basketball
