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 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!

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

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

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

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.

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.
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.
It would be hard for them not to.
Boom! Roasted

You're running out of time!
Knicks already tipped off, so you have to choose someone else.

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
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!

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.
Heat! I use the Heat!!

I'm jumping on the Grizzlies bandwagon.
