Los Angeles, Florida?

Wasnt he a piston and clipper first?

CJ in a fantastic spot

Good morning my morning dwellers. If you’re playing at Yahoo, and want in to the $5 no management fee tourney today….you got about 30 minutes to make it happen before it fills up (400 spots left). Seems nuts to me that Yahoo makes these things SO SMALL and unless you get up at 7 AM to sign up, you are left in the cold. Who doesn’t enjoy signing up for NBA main slates 10 hours before lock before the contest fills (and does not regenerate)?? I sent a message to Daniel Haight about this, but I have heard nothing back. Just seems silly and ridiculous when you have exactly FOUR big tourneys ($10, $5, $1, $.25) on your site to have one of them fill up before most people have had a cup of coffee.

All good things must come to an end and I believe they did last game against Memphis. Otherwise not sure how this is a fantastic spot.

Conley will play, and as per usual, he will either kill your strong lineups or hang a 50 burger at 3% ownership. That’s what he does 🤣

Ah thanks, good to know. Redick is unplayable the way he’s been going with no usage bump. I prefer whoever matches up with Gordon between Butler and Harris, I’d assume Isaac defends Harris. Just don’t see Gordon have much of a chance at slowing down Butler. If Redick wasn’t looking so terrible I’d love him in a matchup against Augustin.

I can never get him right lol

I’m sure it’s intentional they don’t want to be in the business of running huge contests all season where they don’t make any money off of. They fill up and people will stay play other contests just because they intended on playing on Yahoo but missed the cut.

Currently pegging Dame and Conley for extra greasy double 50 burgers.

Can we talk about how Serge Ibaka is 4700 on FD? I know his minutes have been cut that he can get you 30 no problem.

Can Blakeney do it again?

Sorry to ask. But are you guys talking about CJ Miles?

Not with Porter back.

My neither..haha.

I’ll put him in one lineup tonight just so I get the 50. If I put him in multiple, it will be one of those 20 to 30 FP nights. My approach is very scientific, and the amount of lineups I put Conley directly affects his performance. It’s proven, can’t argue with the facts 😉. It’s part of my Conley algo 🤔😁

I thought Monarch was referencing McCollum, who has up until the last game absolutely torched the Grizzlies for a long time.

LOL makes a lot more sense. My bad. I went blank for a min!

Grizzlies have a funnel defense. Bradley locked up RWB and will be on Dame. Conley is no slouch on CJ but he will get a lot of Wright as well. Maybe I need to look at Nurkic a little.

True. BTW good looks on Oubre yesterday!

I’ll do you a favor then and only put Conley in 1 lineup. Cause if I start getting Conley crazy and putting him in multiple, you’ll have a bunch of 28 FP performances littering your lineups.

i know lol

i have to admit i am a lebron supporter but its hard for me to make excuses for his defensive lapses. i just think this is a lost year for him, they aren’t done building the roster yet. still need more pieces to be able to actually compete. i think at this point he’s like “screw it, half these guys won’t be here next year so why bother?

for the record, i don’t think they get into the playoffs.

Yes that stood out to me as well. I guess his minutes have been depressed lately with Gasol starting.

He is a great play

Sure, if Kawhi sits for some reason. Why target a guy who is gonna play 16-20 mins?
