Gentlemen
Just back from the gym and tucking into ANOTHER protein bar berfore i go for a run and keep eating then gym again at 8pm....fast tracking...you betcha!
Thnaks for the lowdown Show....will that "pussy cat" on the downlow for Showno;) But might drop it as a throw-away line like "Fancy another drink, pussy cat?" And then start the "How weird that i just knew that" and the old "It feels like we have known each other for so long"...Yep...traits of a player now P.I.M.P.
Mick Maestro is right.....this is a Grand Final but i reckon with my charm, boyish good looks, loads of champagne, truckloads of Class-As and maybe a rohypnol....i can nail the deal and get the Norm Smith! The spirit of Gary Ayres is in me!
J-Fred.....please make sure we save the emails for Base as he would be proud that a fellow Aries has taken the baton and gone up a level...more GOLD!
Should we run a book of odds to see where i will finish up?

If Draft Night’s anything to go by, we have an action packed GBL season ahead of us.
GM Fredman ably took up the reins as Draft Co-ordinator and organised an expert update on the current injury list from a medical professional…NURSE! If you know what I mean…
After having his glasses liberally smeared across the stripper’s crotch, I’m sure Dunnie has a nasty case of cuntjunctivitis this morning.
Others have a nasty case of postdraftregretitis…
As usual,
GM Hodges managed to sneer the coveted number one pick. With KG, who cares who else he’s got?
GM Entwisle reinforced his standing as the Makita “Mate of the Day” when he did us all a favour and drafted Bling Ming at 2…thanks Mate of the Day. Aside from drafting the big man way too early, GM Entwisle put in another rock solid performance at draft night – Al Harrington, Magette and the man who has the right name to be the Halves and Doubles franchise player, Boozer.
The shock of round one came when the rookie Rossco stepped into the pressure cooker that is GBL draft night for the first time. I mean, none of us doubt Michael Finley’s first round credentials…IN 1998! Obviously Rossco knows something we don’t through his
His Freaky Deaky Dutch partner in crime, and worthy new Commissioner of this fine league, Commish Waldy, never really got over the disappointment of not seeing the stripper. He’s got Marion and Cassell, but with Doc Rivers coaching it doesn’t really matter who’s on the floor.
Cotton was distraught in the first round. His love child Lebron was drafted by GM Showno, who showed a lot of faith in the boy wonder at pick 7. Not one Detriot player amongst his starting five, despite constant talk of back-to-back. Stevie Franchise and Jermaine O’Neill round out a strong team. Expect the usual trash talking from this Motown boy.
Cotton was even more distraught about getting the last pick. He looked very pale and we were worried he’d end up back on the drip…luckily we had a medical professional on hand to tend to his needs, if you know what I mean. For the first time ever, Cotton didn’t crack. He was focused. 5 solid picks, no typical Cotton post-draft dissonance, and an amazingly strong team for the guy with the last pick – Pierce, Brand, Donyell Marshall and Miller Time times 2. A team to watch.
GM Fredman was another strong performer on draft night.
It didn’t take GM Braun long to mispronounce players…Steven Marbury (he obviously turned white in the off-season) and Jerry Magloire. He was also thinking of drafting Darren Wayde and Allen Brand. Brauny’s never started with a team this solid – McGrady, Kirilenko, Arenas. As always, Brauny will be good for trades in a few weeks.
E-Mac sparked a controversy when he drafted Divac and then recalled the pick. He must have still had some shaving cream in his eye when reviewing Divac’s numbers. In a flash, Divac was out. And if Boozer has the right name for the Halves and Doubles, then Divac’s replacement couldn’t be better for E-Mac’s team – BLUNT! Luckily he’s also got Tim Duncan Donuts and The Answer.
And then of course, there’s Rings Dunne, defending champ and only two time winner. Dunne took up the Trevor Marmalade position in the kitchen with special LC comments all night. Dunne showed usual form. Build the team around Shaq. Then draft one useless white guy to make a mockery of the No Honkies franchise. This year it was Matt Harpring. We all know that one pre season a player does not make. Dunne immediately suffered from NCPPRS…Neale Cotton Post Pick Regret Syndrome. He hasn’t slept a wink.
And what was Baseline thinking with James Posey? He obviously thought it was the “Jamaal Possie” – how could he resist? Only weak link in a solid team. Smart will take on all challenges in the Back Court Challenge – all cash bets will be accepted and no one will out score B-Diddy and Ray Allen. Especially not Rossco’s backcourt of Finley and Kidd. Dirk the Jerk and the Big Z Ilgauskas round out a strong team. Smart might find himself in foreign territory – not last at the first mid-season draft.
Let’s get it on!
GM Baseline
No Look Confusion Makers
Odds on the boards punters.
Still plenty of value with 8 hours until Draft Night…
2-1 Brauny drafts two players in the same position
3-1 Brauny drafts four Small Forwards
5-1 Entwisle benefits from a Braun fuck up and gets a first round pick in the fifth round
6-1 The No Honkies continue their tradition of making a mockery of their name and draft a white guy
7-1 Cotton gets the shakes and the sweats
8-1 Smart drafts someone called Jamaal
10-1 Cotton comes armed with the most spreadsheets
12-1 Now that Waldy has a sidekick, Rossco, they’ll definitely get sidetracked by Himalayan hash and Danish DVDs
15-1 Fredman drafts a shithouse African centre (see Olawakandi or Mutumbo)
20-1 Showno drafts five
28-1 Cotton finds a way to draft
30-1 Eddie Mac is still out from Saturday night and can’t be found
Firstly, very happy to see today that the NBA GMs overwhelming voted for Al Harrington as the player most likely to have a breakout season and
Some points below from the experts to add to some post-draft dissonance for other GMs (you would normally expect this from LC but he must be tied up looking for positives from the Matt Harpring trade):
Michael Finley: "With Stackhouse on board, Finley’s minutes might take a bit of a hit this season, and his production could decrease across the board slightly. Still, Finley should make for a fine late round four or early round five selection."
Elton Brand: "More importantly, do NOT pick Elton Brand. Elton has proven some things over the years, he is a great scorer, rebounder, and shot blocker. He is consistent. His teams always lose. Most importantly, he is consistently battling injuries. Not season ending injuries. Just, he’ll-be-back-on-his-own time-table injuries. Injured players on bad teams take a very long time to come back and are always at risk of losing minutes. Elton Brand’s averages will be fine, your team won’t be."

Gilbert Arenas: "Gilbert Arenas - Great. Injury prone. Let him be great for someone else." Source: The Answer Man on Fantasy Hoops
James Posey: "Posey had a career year last season, posting plenty of steals, threes and points and contributing solid defense and hustle which kept him on the court. As with any Grizzlie not named Jason Williams or Pau Gasol, however, Posey is at risk for losing minutes in 2004-05 as coach Hubie Brown will most likely implement his 10-man rotation once again. If Mike Miller, Bonzi Wells or Shane Battier get hot, Posey could easily wind up sitting for extended stretches."
Theo Ratliff: Beyond the blocks and the boards, there isn’t much to Ratliff’s game. He led the league with 3.61 blocks per game and averaged 4.4 bpg with
Baron Davis: Avoid Baron Davis. Assuming everyone reads the Answerman and are all smart enough to leave him undrafted before round 4, I advise you to be extra patient and stay very far away. He has missed 32 and 25 games over the last two seasons, respectively. Freak injuries don't bother me. Everyone gets hurt, they get surgery, they recover, they play. Guys who miss more than 40 games over two years are a problem.
Chauncey Billups: Avoid Chauncey Billups. He was the Finals MVP. That will make him overrated in your fantasy draft. You be the smart one. Stay away. The points are nice. He was under 6 apg. Not terrible. He was under .400 for a fg% and had just 1.08 spg. That is bad. You want a point guard that steals and passes. It's what point guards do. He doesn't do either well enough to justify that fg%. Stay away.
Matt Harpring: Unless the Jazz go big and start him at shooting guard, Matt Harpring will open the season coming off the bench. The team is more likely to use Gordan Giricek at shooting guard and make Harpring the No. 3 forward behind Andrei Kirilenko and Carlos Boozer. Harpring may not be worth using in fantasy leagues unless a teammate goes down.
Rashard Lewis: Avoid Rashard Lewis. The big problem with Lewis is the rebounding - well and the shot blocking, and the steals, and the fg%... pretty much everything except for the scoring. The 17 ppg is going to impress you. However, once you get past that, you're below 7 rpg, which is horrendous for a forward and the 43% fg is awful. He is only above average in the scoring.
Sam Cassell: Avoid Sam Cassell. I love Sam Cassell. I campaigned to have him voted on the All-Star team last season. He's getting old, and injuries will hurt him more and more. Sorry Sam. Cannot draft you this year.
Best of Luck to all....MOTD
