Prayers up for Melbourne for running into the buzzsaw that is TuneSquad this week. 30 3pm made already after 2 day of games played. Geez Yeah, it's clearly just a hot run, but still. It's basically going to end up at the very least 6-3 (%s and TOs) cause he's already dominating so much in counting stats.

That's the thing I hate about the 1st week. It doesn't start till Tuesday and the teams first few games are spread out with scheduling marquee matchups and big games. They should combine Week 1 and 2 like they do the last 2 weeks so it gives fantasy teams time to get adjusted.

Rockets haven't even played yet, and that's my money maker.

Kemba with 12-2-2 and shot 4 for 18 overall
It's obviously only one game but not a great look given the same night Kyrie went for 50-8-7 and shot 17 for 33 overall

I forgot Philly got Josh Richardson in the Jimmy Butler deal so I may have to adjust my championship pick. I previously had Boston but I've always liked what Richardson did in Miami so now I think I'll pick them over Boston. Though I still expect Boston to be right there in the end. Kyrie could be a legit MVP candidate. I just don't think the Nets will be good enough. But number wise, I expect him to have a career year. Nice game by KAT last night too in the win versus the Nets.

Richardson was a strong pickup by the Sixers and certainly helps make up for them trading a similar player in Convington to get Butler in the first place. Richardson is certainly one of the reasons I had the Sixers in the finals for my prediction.

Man, FT shooting, 3pt shooting and assists.....apparently those are things you can have on your team. Wish somebody would have told me last year.

I was looking at the Memphis/Miami box score to see how my guys Clarke and Adebayo did.
Looking at the Grizzlies.... who the heck is Marko Guduric and Chris Silva? And Kenrick Nunn with 24-2-3 on 10 for 18?
I feel so out of touch with the NBA right now.

I know who Nunn is ..just because he went nuts and dropped 40 in final preseason..and that basically made him make the team. He's a quick herky jerky lefty..but really just a 3rd ..possibly 4th PG on a team. But no Butler..everybody got a look
I was hoping for more minutes from my boy Ja, but 14-4-4 in 25 minutes I'll take

But what was funny..last night about 8:00 I saw Batum broke his finger, so I thought hmmm, who's playing in front of him. PJ Washington, lemme go check the box score. PJ has 5 3's in the first half..interesting..lemme look him up
Thundercat apparently was checking his phone before me

Had been wavering back and forth the past few days on adding him and dropping NAW, but I couldn't pull the trigger. As soon as I saw him hit about 4, I said F It and grabbed him. So....yeah...I'm the dude rostering 2 Hornets now.

Bad enough Nic Batum was a benchwarmer earning 52M the next 2 seasons but he's hurt. Again. Already.
The team had 70.6M in salary this season in Batum, Biyombo, Williams and MKG either coming off the bench or being DNP-CDed yesterday The team had 34.4M in salary this season for Rozier/Zeller The team had 14.6M in salary this season for PJ Washington, Bridges, Bacon, Graham and Monk - 3 of whom were their best players yesterday
Not a good look But hey, they won!

His usage will drop when Jimmy comes back but I'm reading the issue between Dion Waiters and the Heat will likely keep him in the rotation for a while. And it looks like Dragic is pretty much out the equation. I still expect at some point for the Heat and Thunder to restart talks around CP3 with Dragic involved.

Like, obviously we dont want anyone to get hurt, but why can't it just be guys like Batum that are irrelevant? Why does it always have to be young, exciting players?

He was also my 2nd rd pick in my 18 team league. I was deciding between Ayton, Booker, Donovan Mitchell. I went Beal 1st round, so opted to go big 2nd.
I see my Fantasy Basketball season is already going the same way as my Fantasy Football season with bad decisions. "Sure, I'll take Antonio Brown in the 2nd round in two of my leagues".
Good times.

Harden 2-13 from the field. Any time you want to get rid of that bum and find someone who can shoot Oak, I've got a shiny new PJ Washington here for you

hell, I'll throw his bum teammate and his 4-19 from the field in with him. At some point you're not hitting Eric..swing the ball.

Getting 3 total combined games from Harden,Butler,Blake,Kanter this week, I feel confident with 2 category wins.
I was waiting for somebody to finally pick up D Rose.
And glad to see Love back in top form, maybe I should take over Team Zion and give up Team Harden

Obviously won't be looking that sharp all season, but it's nice to get off to that 8-1 start.
Oak better get used to looking up at Obie in the standings this year, lol.
