Didn't have time to make changes so running with same as last week, lucky Hodge and Grooves starting both performed well.

I'm pretty certain I'm gonna lose 1st place because I dont have Hodge. bah.

Most will have Hodge on the bench I would say, but it is annoying when you don't have a player who is dominating and plays in the the team you support!

Chook - yeh he should be on the bench, but looking at the guy who's in second place, I dont think he has any other decent players with two games.. he wouldve put Ebe and Hodge on..

Hope we dont have to wait hours for this to open.. baaah

The lockout is over!

My score was 546, not an outstanding weekly rank but overall ranking now #555. I also won my league matchup by a mere 4 points, giving me a 12 game winning streak and a two-game buffer over the second-place team, who lost, so I am the League Champion. Not bad for a rookie!

umm..

1. MC's HammerTime 12515
2. Mum's Team Conny 12511


4.. points.. f*ck.

You are in the Box seat MC - with the Breakers having 2 games this week and Orien and Penney doing well. Hang in there!

I got 656 I think, and am hanging in 8th place.

I wish this went through the finals actually, but I guess it will be nice to watch some bball without hating someone or other for no really good reason apart from them not being in your team. I sometimes don't like players scoring simply because I didn't make them captain (apologies Ebi). I think its a disease.

Chook: "but I guess it will be nice to watch some bball without hating someone or other for no really good reason apart from them not being in your team."

Haha classic!

I'm exactly the same way, I was hoping Hodge (no offense to the man) would twist his ankle or something lol..

I do find that I watch more games than just my own team tho while playing sportal, which is good coz u get into it a bit more.

730 for me, now 12th

It's just a game.. but if I finished 2nd or 3rd I'm gonna be seriously cut up.. panic panic panic panic

You'll be right MC, just stick to your plan that got you this far.

You have a few of the same issues as me (and I'm sure plenty others) - is Burston/Rogers better in 2 games than Anstey in 1? I have to decide whether Kavossy in 2 is better than Hodge in 1 etc. At least all your guards are playing 2 games.

Hang in there.

Mmm true true - do u have any trades left Chook?

Were you just dropping Burstons name because of other rounds? Coz I didnt think Dragons had two games this round.. If he did, I'd play him over Anstey, He's getting more minute since Heal left & with Hendrix out he's likely to get more again.

Kavossy annoyed me last round, I doubt I'll put him in starting 5

yeah Sorry, Dragons only have one, wasn't really referring to this round specifically.

Kavossy and Ingles both annoyed me. Ever since I put Ingles in my team he has struggled - he just throws the ball away so much.

I am banking on Kavossy bouncing back, but that's what I hate about guys who aren't big rebounders but straight out shooters - they can have real shockers and follow them up with more shockers.

Couldnt agree more regarding Ingles, I was flipping between him and Jacob Holmes.. grrr.. It really annoyed me when I watched him the other week, after almost every bad pass/turnover he'd have a stupid *woops* grin on his face. pathetic.

BTW no trades left. The easiest Tuesday/Wednesday of the year without worrying about trading.

Lockout in place. Good Luck MC Hammertime, you deserve to win this.

Last post was me :P
Good luck again Chooks & to every1 else.
