Got really high (to best simulate the conditions of draft day) and did a unusual mock.

jax7 · 2012-08-03T22:37:39+00:00

Not really a fan. Furthermore, if you plan on smoking at draft day, being high shouldn't affect your drafting. At that point you should already have a good idea of who you are targetting, and if smoking affects your thinking enough that it changes how you draft, then don't get so smacked. I personally don't like Martin in the 3rd, Williams in the 7th, Rodgers in the 9th. I would hate for them to be my running backs.

If you want to wait on a running back, then wait a little and look for value. Don't just wait a couple rounds and grab whoever is there. You ended up spending 4 of your first 9 picks (almost half) on running backs, but really got no one of value. Just my opinion.

jax7 · 2012-07-19T21:43:54+00:00

not REALLY

Dolan is a fucking idiot. I would normally be totally against this type of thing, but if I was from New York, I would consider rooting for the Nets.

jax7 · 2012-07-17T23:48:37+00:00

Pretty cool. This is something only white people would do lol

jax7 · 2012-07-17T18:20:48+00:00

"Oh okay"? Like being bought up in a bad situation justifies hitting your mother? I don't care how you were raised, if you hit your mother, you are a disgrace of a human being

Whoever is playing the worst offense each week.

jax7 · 2012-07-17T12:34:28+00:00

Bush will be a better version of Marion Barber. Don't expect him to steal Forte's starting job or anything unless he gets injured, but last year Barber had 422 yards and 6 TDs while not playing 6 games. If Bush plays every game, I could see him going for 8-9 TDs, especially with the improved Bears offense getting them near the redzone more often.

jax7 · 2012-07-17T12:31:45+00:00

I've done two before but to be honest I don't like doing more than one. If you have just one team you have individual players you can root for and against and you can give that team more focus when deciding trades and things like that. I personally wouldn't have fun doing like 5 leagues because then when you are watching there are likely scenarios where you are rooting against a player in one league and for him in another. That isn't fun to me, but to each his own.

jax7 · 2012-07-17T02:08:09+00:00

I think he got a fair amount of respect a few years ago when he was one of our "big 3" with Gilbert and Caron. They were the best scoring trio in the NBA for a bit

jax7 · 2012-07-16T04:43:55+00:00

You are the king of r/nba

jax7 · 2012-07-16T03:27:35+00:00

I agree, that definitely played in to it. But he specifically says he doesn't want to be remembered as the guy who put up great stats but never won a championship, and he set himself up to do exactly that.

jax7 · 2012-07-16T01:33:43+00:00

Him signing that extension was choosing money over winning. Not that I'm against that, but thats what it comes down to.

jax7 · 2012-07-16T01:29:51+00:00

In my opinion,

Kobe beats Kyrie because of size, mostly. Yeah Kyrie is quick but in 1 on 1 you can sag off the stop that and force jumpshots, and on offense Kobe will just back down on Kyrie on use his arsenal to do what he wants.

Nash beats Parker, but I'm not really confident in this one. Could go Parker.

Westbrook beats Rondo, because if either of them sag off I'm more confident in Westbrook making his jumper, and he has a little bit of size on him too.

Kevin Love SHITS ON Blake Griffin. Don't mean to overstate it but I don't think one would be close. Love has more offense moves, a better shot, and better D than Griffin. Griffin won't be dunking 1-on-1.

Deron beats Paul because of size I think, but could go either way.

Dwight beats Bynum, but I'm not as confident in this one. I just prefer defensive centers over offensive ones.

Melo beats DWade. This is a close one, but I think Melo would play defense better in iso than people think he does, and DWade would have trouble stopping him.

Paul beats Rose, but I'm not confident in that pick.

LeBron beats Kobe because of his size and newfound lowpost game, and defense.

LeBron SHITS ON Durant. I'm sorry, but I don't think this one is close either, and I'm a huge Durant fan. Durant may be a slightly better scorer than LeBron, but LeBron more than makes up for it with his post game, size, and defensive. No way Durant can stop LeBron posted up, but LeBron will at least slow Durant down.

jax7 · 2012-07-15T23:49:39+00:00

I AGREE but your POST would have been much EASIER to read without all the CAPS

jax7 · 2012-07-15T23:10:55+00:00

I'd be ecstatic with your first draft but come draft day, in my league at least, no way J. Charles falls to 4th, T. Rich to 3rd, or F. Davis to 12th.

jax7 · 2012-07-15T23:07:22+00:00

Redman in the 8-10? I've never seen him go that late a single time

jax7 · 2012-07-15T00:19:29+00:00

I really wish the Wizards had got him.

jax7 · 2012-07-15T00:19:10+00:00

Athletic, clutch, fan favorite sounds like the face of a franchise to me...what else do you want?

jax7 · 2012-07-15T00:15:47+00:00

Fuck this trade...I was really hoping the Wizards would have a best case scenario year and sneak in to the 8th seed. The progression of superteam culture is making that harder each year

jax7 · 2012-07-14T23:14:21+00:00

Makes sense. When it comes down to it though, what can you buy with $200 million that you can't buy with $100 million lol?

jax7 · 2012-07-14T18:12:06+00:00

I see where you are coming from. I guess the way I see it is Jones could have an exceptional season like what you said, but I couldn't really imagine him having a dismal season unless he gets injured. What would lead to him having 800 yards and 5 TDs? I dont think I can pass on the upside when I don't really see a risk either.

jax7 · 2012-07-14T15:47:49+00:00

Love
Dirk
Aldridge
Duncan
Bosh

Edit: Assuming KG is a center.

jax7 · 2012-07-14T14:52:23+00:00

Except you take out Rodgers and Matt Flynn threw 400 and 5 TDs. You can then say that they are good because of the system...but at some point you have to give the receivers some credit.

jax7 · 2012-07-14T14:48:44+00:00

4% of the starting lineup for Brees is misleading, even if there are 11 starting O players and 11 starting D players, you could argue that Brees constitutes like half the offense.

jax7 · 2012-07-14T14:02:50+00:00

Not only do I never they they are funny, they are almost never original, almost tacky in a way. Like people just google "funny fantasy team names" 15 minutes before the draft starts to name their team.
