You think clowns are benign??? :confused: The painted smiles...the demonic eyes...*shiver* Now I won't be able to sleep...

Now this is a tough choice. Amare Stoudemire works for me. A good 20/10 guy, and likely to see time at center, so there's a chance I can use him there later on.

Well, since Baron Davis and Starbury are already taken, let's go with Stevie Francis.

I think it's a bit of an avalanche problem. Too long a time between picks means people check less often which means the picks come slower, which means people check less often, etc. I have no objection to yahoo handling it at some point, though I'd prefer we could find a time everyone can be...

I was wondering the same thing, actually...

Ben Wallace's rebounding dropped to around 10 per game once Sheed showed up in Detroit, so odds are good his stats will be down. And his shooting is brutal. But I still might have taken him. He and AK-47 would have been enough to practically win blocks and steals for me by themselves.;)

This is a general complaint, though R.A.S. is the one who's done this the worst of the books I've seen lately. If the bad guys are attacking the good guys with an overpowering army, allow the bad guys to win a battle here and there. Don't give me scene after scene of the good guys wining...

The Admiral retired a year ago. Nesterovic is his replacement in SA. Had a decent year in 02-03.

We might have to chat then. I like taking chances and I can still see McGrady having a very solid year in Houston. Hmm...hard to do a trade right now though, unless you want a pick.;)

Jermaine O'Neal is a great pick. I'd have taken O'Grady before James, but some people seemed pretty worried about what might happen with Tracy in Houston. He's a steal in the second round, though.

I once did 62 hours straight in with no worse effects than mild paranoia and seeing the shadows move out of the corners of my eyes. More recently at Gencon I was up at 8 A.M., stayed over that night to catch some things in the 24 hour anime rooms, then the next day didn't get to sleep until...

Yep, though the only center pick so far I would not have made is Shaq. Good stats but you know he'l spend some time sitting with injuries and his FT% will kill you. Yao Ming might be stretching a little but he's a top center with no real weaknesses.

Look for two basic types of players. General players who contribute in several stats. These guys go pretty fast. Think Kobe with his 30/5/5, for example. Also look for spike players, someone who gives you a big bonus in a specific area you want to focus on. If blocks, look for people with...

Damn your eyes. I was hoping he'd slide.:)

Now I feel less doubt about passing on Kobe. Tough tough choice.

Kobe's a great player, make no mistake. But Kirilenko was my MVP last year. Good FG%, very good FT%, better rebounding, steals, blocks than Kobe. Can hit the three. My team last year focused alot on overall stats, not scoring. Kirilenko's blocks and steals probably won me the Championship...

Found some free time at work, so... With the third pick in the draft, the Tokyo Samurai proudly pick... Andrei 'AK-47' Kirilenko!!! [Cue polite applaud and a tall, thin russian coming out to accept his red and white jersey.]

... Um..at least give me until tommorrow to make a pick, if that's ok? Didn't even notice we were starting today, I'm just heading off to work now. I'll make my pick when I get home, it'll just be very early morning Thursday. Thanks.

There's really nothing I miss from 1e. Though I'll admit combats can be long. I'm running a game for 7 players, all at or close to 20th level. Their tactics (what little they have:) ) tend to emphasis controlling the battlefield, so Reverse Grav, walls, etc instead of alot of direct damage...

Well, technically, Shiva was being mind controlled at the time and not really fighting very well. Batman did beat Shiva in the Death in the Family storyline, though he needed Robin's help to do so. Batgirl also beat her, though it was suggested in the book at the time Shiva had a death wish and...
