Hoops FNBL Round 17

At Quarter time the scores are...

Bizzy 13 v Statman 96
TR 7 v Xztatik 47
Beantown 12 v DB5 20
skip 52 v Lockie 98

No worries TR - I wasnt quite sure what was going on with your team but guessed you hadnt quite meant to give up that badly!

As for the re-trade, Im too late for this week but if you still are interested next round we can have a look at it, assuming Corletto doesnt get some form of devastating injury now he is in your starting 5!

X - "Happy to make the Allen+Ellis > Helliwell+Gilder deal official when you are TR. I should probably wait until Daniel Eade's story is proven to be a load of shit, but I'm pretty sure it is"

So you had some idea.

You knew the risk of his job, you said you wanted to see if Bizzy would take him instead.

X - You reneged first! You could have had Helliwell on Monday!

and do you honestly believe that Bizzy or anyone else is going to want Nevill now?

X - Not even close....

TR - not trying to tell you how to run your squad...... but half your starters arnt playing this week and Corletto and Demos should be seeing significant minutes (unless Ive missed something)



Speaking of Corletto - would you like to trade him back to me ;)

X, how bad do you want to get rid of Nevill? Ive got a nice backup C sitting on my bench who would love some more court time if you are interested?

Statmans Hackers for this week.

Bean, not that keen on giving up Vukona at his stage - sorry

Don't forget to post/update your teams everyone.

Remember now that the Cairns v Perth game is no longer this round.

Cut off is in less than 3 hours.

TR has notified me via SMS, he wishes to hold onto Helliwell.

TR - With it being over a day, I'll double check that you are still happy to go with that trade.

Hmmm, cyclone Yasi seems to have screwed my chances for this week. I might have only FIVE players if Shannon isn't good to go! Could be a record low score!

Okay, in the absence of any trades, my team for this week is:

Knight
Boucher
Walker
Howard (c)
Shannon

Cadee
Lewis
Loughton

Hinder
Crosswhite

With the Cairns/Perth game postponed, my team is in a bit of crap.

Gong is the only team with 2 games and I dont have anyone playing with Sav still out.

Leaves me with only 6 available players this week

STARTERS
C: Daniel Johnson
F: Mitch Creek
F: Cameron Tragardh
G: Kirk Penney (c)
G: Corey Williams

BENCH
G: Brad Robbins
F: Glen Saville

G: Peter Crawford

Hi Bean,

sorry been tied up all week and havnt had a chance to really look at the trade offer, Ill endeavour to get back to you this arvo :)

The Cairns v Perth game has now been rescheduled until March 26th, meaning that it is now in Round 24.

This means Perth player will be a part of the FNBL Grand Final and that Cairns now have 2 matches in the Grand Final.

Cool, don't do twitter..Should have asked blazefan or someone I guess.

Twitter is good for injury updates if you follow the actual team.

Other than that, most of my info comes from a handy little website called hoops.com.au

DB's Desperados

Harvey
Bruton
Tovey (cappo)
Sanders
Knight

Hudson
Hill
Hoare

Crosswell
Dowdell

Devo out, Hudson in please.

Where do you guys read injury lists? The NBL site is shit. Says Harvey unlikely to play last week, and nothing on the Blaze website. Just noticed he got me 46 on the bench..

Beantown - It's Penney! Unless somehow Im getting Khazzouh, he aint going nowhere.

Damn you Skip, you WERE yanking my chain! I thought it was a bit odd, but had to throw out an offer.

The real reason for my initial question about Penney was actually cos of my Dream Team roster. Was trying to work out if the time was right to splash out and bring Penney into my team this week.

So Statman, you've gone quiet out there. Any interest in my trade offer above?

Okay thanks.

Not yet, will tonight

skip, have you emailed out results yet mate?

Howard and Loughton for Penney and Dorsey?

Oh crap, cursed import restrictions strike again... would have to include one of your imports. If its feasible, I'll have a look at your roster though...?

Howard for Penney?

Dunno, considering trading him.

Hey Skip, whats with Penney the last couple of weeks? Seems to be putting up poor numbers all of a sudden. Do you know if he is injured or anything?

C: L Davidson
F: I Clark

G: G Ervin (captain)

F: D Rychart
C: A Majok
F: B Williamson

G: M Cedar
G: M Dickel

Unlike you X, I wont question your line up :-)

X, Skip sounds like he's whinging. Lets see if we can engineer an 8 way trade to keep him on the ball! ;-) LOL

Sigh, hopefully I can get through this weeks round without making a mistake.

Hey Statman, still interested in that trade of Vukona and Lisch for Hinder and Shannon or Howard?

Done - Trade confirmed.

Gilder comes to Adelade, Ellis goes to Canberra

Round 16 scores are confirmed

Bizzy 238 defeated Xztatik 220
TR 138 lost to DB5 261
Beantown 299 defeated Lockie 253
skip 250 lost to Statman 335

Stats is now on top spot and only 1 win seperates 4th - 8th, so playoffs are still are chance for anyone.

TR - Happy with just Ellis for Gilder?

how many times have you read on the forum...

"A champion team will beat a team of champions"

unorginal thoughts from armchair (computer chair) coaches that know more about the game than everyone and not afraid to anonymously tell you so!!

What other quotes do you think are overused in the basketball community?

(Yes I see the irony on posting as anonymous)
