No recap post today: everyone survived and we talked about the fun games in the discussion post.

Remember that there are only two more rounds in which you can use your rebuys.

Friday's GamesFriday's Games

  • Knicks (2-0) @ Hornets (0-2)
  • Cavs (1-1) @ Hawks (2-1)
  • Pelicans (1-2) @ Grizzlies (0-2)
  • Magic (2-0) @ Nets (1-2)
  • Clippers (1-1) @ T-Wolves (1-2)
  • Pistons (2-0) @ Pacers (0-2)
  • Raptors (0-2) @ Heat (1-2)
  • Celtics (2-1) @ Bulls (2-1)
  • Thunder (1-1) @ Lakers (2-1)
  • Kings (0-2) @ Blazers (1-1)

Perhaps worth noting is that the Raptors and Pelicans have both been eliminated already.

This is a very interesting slate of games. There are a bunch of teams that aren't going to make the Knockout Stage who should be heavy favorites. The Grizzlies, T-Wolves, Heat, and Kings are all great choices. I'm saving the Pacers for the final round of Group Play.

Prize: 57k!Prize: 57k!

We'll almost certainly get over 60k. If we all end up using rebuys, then we'll be get to 80k.

Wait so will Pelicans and Raptors start playing better now??

reply

Raptors are starting to look better. Keeping games close against tough teams. Pulled out a couple wins but still have problems closing out games. Should have beat the Pistons the other night but as usual looked hapless in the final two minutes and lost.

Is that a Canadian thing? Ontario thing? Toronto thing?

Or is that just how dinosaurs are?

reply

Well the dinosaurs went extinct so maybe it's a dino thing. Listening to your latest pod episode right now.

reply

Omg awesome!! Looking forward to our guest episode together! Did u say some dates or times ur free?

reply

It's a bit up in the air right now because @Undisciplined is travelling. Maybe it is just best to have you on the regular episode as a guest. It can be after the TNF game. Doesn't matter we can still troll each other. Might be easier than trying to record a bonus episode.

WHO AUTHORIZED THIS VACATION??

So which days are u thinking for us to record? My mic is ready. Can we do a video podcast?? Zoom lets u record 40min free. You can just point your webcam at a copy of my book if u don’t want to show your face 🤣

You can still publish only the audio. We can cross post the video onto my podcast if needed!

reply

Undisciplined taking his well deserved vacation from pretending to work at his fiat job so he can post on SN all day. Living a double life is tiring.

We will just use cleanfeed and send you a link. Should work great.

Currently we record on Saturday nights at 10pm eastern (7pm pacific). But I don't know if we will be changing that the week Undisciplined is off. Why don't the two of you figure out what works with your schedules for that week and give me a couple dates and times? I can probably work around it. Worst case scenario if my wife is working and I am watching the little one. I can probably go over to my parents and record in the den/office while she plays with her toys in their basement and they can tend to her if she needs anything.

I'm going to be on vacation, so we might need to upgrade you to guest host. If we can get the technology working, I'll try to call in.

Careful! Your biggest fan @BlokchainB might not want you back 🤣

reply

It's a risk I'll just have to take.

It would be hard for them not to.

Boom! Roasted

reply

I mean are you planning to use a rebuy right before playoffs? Does it give u a massive fresh set of new picks??

reply

No, it's always better to just pick a winner. It's maybe a reason to take a riskier pick.

reply

Got it. Eat the 3k to pick a likely loser to save a winner.

But I don’t want a dirty trophy. I want to earn #1 without any re-buys!!

Will odds come out Thanksgiving day?

reply

Here are the spreads:

  • Knicks (-12.5)
  • Cavs (-7.5)
  • Grizzlies (-10.5)
  • Magic (-8.5)
  • T-Wolves (-5.5)
  • Pacers (-5.5)
  • Heat (-6.5)
  • Celtics (-10.5)
  • Thunder (-1.5)
  • Kings (-5)

Btw, games start early tomorrow.

reply

Uh oh! Now the Cavs are tipping off. Your options are dwindling.

If you don't choose, by rule you'll be assigned the Hornets and they already lost.

reply
reply

Ouch. I didn't know about that rule.

reply

Out of curiosity, do you think the rule is just that you get the Hornets whenever you forget to pick?

I don't know, they're very inconsistent with the odds release schedule.

I wouldn't even say you want to pick a likely loser, just a less certain winner.

reply

Good advice!

No. I am of the greatest vintage. Gen X. But I still appreciate the boomer stuff.

reply

I'm just trying to look cool in front of the teenager.

reply

He is currently riding an exercise bike in the room right now. His response was "calling someone a boomer is a representation of saying someone is old regardless of what generation they are from".

I called him a nerd.

Grizzlies

reply

Anyone against the pelicans while u can I see

Even tho the Grizzlies have only lost!

reply

You're running out of time!

Knicks already tipped off, so you have to choose someone else.

reply

Oh no who’s left??
