Not bad. Didnt love any of the lineups I came up with either.

So ran a variety today in various double or nothings, multis, and generally sprayed the board today with things under $50

Have Mayo in some, Jennings in others, and Wall in a few. Rotated Dalembert in a coulple instead of Hawes or Lopez at last minute.

How did you do? Probalby cashed any double or nothings. Probably missed out on the larger tourneys as Mayo and Dalembert dropped a dump.

**vikingfan101** · 02-11-13, 11:47 PM

Dalembert Mayo and Boozer screwed the pooch. Managed 260.5, and those 3 only got about 60. They combine for 10 more points and I woulda cashed my big tourneys. I was actually at the Bucks game, only reason Dalembert sucked is because they called a bunch of tacky fouls on him to get him out early.

Only cashed my step tourney. You?

Cashed the lower level double or nothings with a lineup scoring 254 or so. Big dud in mulits and such

**vikingfan101** · 02-11-13, 11:58 PM

I really need to start doing doing the double ups. Are you pretty successful with those? I normally just do tournaments and the smaller 20 person leagues.

Just put up a separate thread introducing people to our NBA contest for SBR readers.

**downsouth** · 02-12-13, 07:29 PM

Didnt have time so missed most of tourneys. Did run this lineup out in a few.

Not a big fan as its top heavy and leaves many holes to bury it but it is what it is.

LeBron is on pace for over 80 points and JV is looking like a good selection too. Brewer and Bargnani are missing everything though.

Gonna need some form of miracle to get those two to equal 30 total between them. Gonna need Lebron to have one of those monster of monster games.

**StevenSuarez** · 02-12-13, 08:22 PM

I think Curry is due for one of those monster games as well. I didn't get a chance to see the prices tonight -- how much was JV, Curry, Howard and Bargnani?

**downsouth** · 02-12-13, 08:26 PM

Was a little hurried as well so didnt get to search the values as much.

JV was a steal at only 3k, Bargnini was also 3k but coming off illness(hindsight obviously) but was a mistake
Curry 8700
Howard 7200, Finished with exactly 50k salary. Would have took Lawson (7300) if I would have had the extra.

**vikingfan101** · 02-12-13, 11:06 PM

Good luck south. Wasn't able to post my lineup earlier but this is what I ran out. Clearly should have kept Nash in over Thomas. And Batum laid an egg, as he always does when I take him.

PG	Isaiah Thomas	25.0%	SAC 101 MEM 108 Final	3 AST, 1 STL, 1 TO, 11 PTS	17

**StevenSuarez** · 02-12-13, 11:14 PM

Great selection with Bosh. Only 5% took him!

Bogut looking very efficient in the early goings as well. You gotta hate Keith Smart though -- sat Isaiah Thomas for like the whole fourth quarter. When Batum's good, he's really good, but yeah hard to know when he's going to go off.

**vikingfan101** · 02-12-13, 11:48 PM

I like taking any Centers going up against the Blazers. Unfortunately Batum was just horrible tonight. And like you said, you never know with Keith Smart. I try to avoid any player on that team outside Cousins like the plague but figured he'd go OK tonight.

As long as I cash my double up its fine though. I can handle a small loss.

**vikingfan101** · 02-13-13, 01:56 AM

Didn't manage to cash any tonight. 5 points out of the money, thanks Kobe. Real bad streak on there lately. Went 6 days in a row cashing now 5 in a row without. Hope tomorows goes better.

Hope the rest of you cashed!

Amen to that. Tough on Wednedsays though. Seems you gotta score 290+ to even get the minimum cash.

**StevenSuarez** · 02-13-13, 09:45 AM

There should be a lot of interesting lineups being played tonight. Good luck fellas.

**downsouth** · 02-13-13, 10:28 AM

Good night for me. Won a few Double or nothings. Came in second in the super step so won an $88 step 4 ticket. Couple step 2, a step 3 and a step 4 along with some some smaller single tables. Didnt play the volume I normally do but will take it.

Hoepfully run out a big lineup toinight.

Good luck

**Noles1992** · 02-13-13, 11:26 AM

Nice DS! Hit a few small 50/50 last night with a 248. Just glad I had enough room to swapp in Curry for Kobe. Or it would have been a bust!

**StevenSuarez** · 02-13-13, 11:42 AM

Was gonna say that Kawhi Leonard would probably be in everyone's lineups, but a lot more uncertainty now that all the Spurs' big guns are supposed to return. Gregg Popovich hates fantasy players.

**downsouth** · 02-13-13, 07:22 PM

Ran this one out in $88 step 4 and a few others. Ran a bunch of variations of this out there today. In most, kept a core Melo, Smith, Boozer, Rubio, Paul, Cousins, Hansbrough,

Basically rotated some cheap guys around and had a few wildcard lineups.

Yeah, cashed all my double or nothings(had close to 20 entries) Won a step 5 ticket($200 value)

And several step 2-3 tickets. Or at least got a duplicate ticket for what I entered. Got a min cash in a few multis and like 80 in the large field tourney.

Good night

Anytime Dereck Williams is low priced pick him up. He's starting to get confidence back.
