• Welcome! I'm on my 3rd year now playing on Ottoneu. I love it!
  Slamflower Seed Finger ☝️ at Aug 2, 2023 11:06 AM
• A Big Welcome to my Buddy Carl! He is taking over Haliburton Corp. Should be great to have him. (It's his first Ottoneu experience so I'm pumped for him!!) Welcome!
  The Hopsmackers at Jul 31, 2023 10:47 PM
• Thanks "Big" for playing! You always ran a good show.
  The Hopsmackers at Jul 31, 2023 10:29 PM
• Hey guys, unfortunately I won’t be back this year. Sorry for the late notice but hopefully this will give the new owner enough time to decide on keepers. Thanks for a fun couple seasons!

• Welcome Air Bud!
  The Hopsmackers at Jul 27, 2023 9:52 PM
• Hey all, just took over Chucky, now named Air Bud. Looking forward to the league.

• Hi All: please keep an eye on the PayPal thread above from NIV. If you are trying to renew I guess it is down.
  The Hopsmackers at Jul 12, 2023 3:36 PM
• Happy NBA draft week. Still looking for a manager or two.
  The Hopsmackers at Jun 20, 2023 9:58 AM
• Arb time! Make sure to spend those dollars.
  The Hopsmackers at May 9, 2023 3:15 PM
• So looking for two (for sure). Cosby and Hali. Ask around if you please. I also have a buddy interested.
  The Hopsmackers at Apr 25, 2023 11:14 AM
• Yes please. Thanks everyone for a fun 2 years!
  Juicy Fruit at Apr 24, 2023 12:49 PM
• Hi. Do you want me to abandon this one? COSBY TIME appears to have two owners.
  The Hopsmackers at Apr 24, 2023 11:26 AM
• Howdy all, I don’t think Cosby time will be back next year. Just not knowledgeable enough about basketball to manage this deep a league. Happy to stay through arb if you can’t find a replacement before hand.
  Juicy Fruit at Apr 24, 2023 10:20 AM
• Welcome! Good to have you aboard!
  The Hopsmackers at Apr 20, 2023 11:10 PM
• Hello All! I claimed "Bob Ross in the Paint". If this is a private league, and you would prefer another owner to claim the team... let me know and they can take it over.
  Bob Ross in the Paint at Apr 17, 2023 10:49 PM
• Hi All: Please make sure you check out the announcements from NIV on future fantasy basketball changes. Also, congrats to Team Wood! We have a couple of teams that are changing. Please spread the word.
  The Hopsmackers at Apr 11, 2023 12:02 AM
• Thanks all for a great season! What a great championship game!
  The Hopsmackers at Apr 10, 2023 11:14 AM
• Unlike the NCAA’s, we got some heavy hitters (all division winners) playing this week. Best of luck to all involved!
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 27, 2023 9:25 AM
• Congrats to our SIX playoffs teams. "Big Fundamentals" and "The Benchwarmers" are on the bye. We have some great first round match-ups as well. Get those line ups in and best of luck to the teams going for the championship!
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 20, 2023 8:41 AM
• Get those line ups in. Looks like tomorrow might settle the playoff teams.
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 18, 2023 11:52 PM
• Sorry for the delayed response. Playoffs for this league start next week (Monday) March 20.
  The Hopsmackers at Mar 18, 2023 11:47 PM
• Rules say play-offs start mar 13. schedule shows another week of regular season. which is it?
  Grassroots at Mar 13, 2023 12:18 AM
• Update: I hope all is well. We have four more "games"/weeks and then the playoffs. Right now it would be Big/Bench/Pacers/Bob Ross/Wood/Chickens. Zion and Cosby are close but would the first two out. Get those line-ups in, enjoy and happy fantasy playing! ~ Hops
  The Hopsmackers at Feb 21, 2023 12:12 PM
• Yeah, I don't have a problem with the trade
  Bob Ross in the Paint at Feb 16, 2023 4:04 PM
• A comparable trade in another league was Wenbamyama for Donvon Mitchell straight up.
  The Hopsmackers at Feb 16, 2023 4:02 PM
• Wow. Why? I think it cuts salary and sets me up for next year and beyond.
  The Hopsmackers at Feb 16, 2023 4:00 PM
• veto this trade. total bs.
  Grassroots at Feb 16, 2023 3:13 PM
• And with that move, it now is time to “tank”.
  The Hopsmackers at Feb 15, 2023 11:08 AM
• Willing to deal Ivey for a F/C. Will also listen to offers on Wenbamyama for a playoff push.
  Zion the Prize at Feb 6, 2023 1:57 PM
• Looking like we are really starting to separate out after some close games. Unfortunately for me, it is looking like I'm getting left behind :)
  The Hopsmackers at Feb 3, 2023 9:55 AM
• More Haliburton Corp troubles. Hey all- if you know someone who'd be interested in playing on that team, please let me know.
  The Hopsmackers at Jan 31, 2023 4:15 PM
• Pretty high odds against that. Just one more made free throw for either of us would have been nice.
  Chip Baskets'Balls at Dec 12, 2022 10:46 AM
• We tied last week!? booooo lol
  Bob Ross in the Paint at Dec 12, 2022 10:36 AM
• Willing to move Mathurin and others for a superstar. Preferably at G
  Juicy Fruit at Dec 10, 2022 9:51 PM
• Big welcome to Halliburton Corp! Enjoy the league, make some trades, be active and have fun.
  The Hopsmackers at Dec 7, 2022 5:02 PM
• Should be set with team "Fun". Sorry for the delay.
  The Hopsmackers at Dec 7, 2022 4:00 PM
• Thanks again Fun. Best of luck and no hard feelings. Sorry again to read about the family stuff and we should be able to get it sorted out by Dec. 3 or 4.
  The Hopsmackers at Dec 1, 2022 12:03 AM
• Hey all: Fun Bags is going to play out the week and then we will need to transition that team over. I personally get it and want to thank him for playing. I have a friend here in Wisconsin that will take it over and try to play it out.
  The Hopsmackers at Dec 1, 2022 12:02 AM
• I had to miss the draft for an unforeseen family event. After using up all of my starts for the first two weeks of the season and getting absolutely slaughtered, I realized that putting in my lineup is just a formality. My team is not only bad, it might be the worst ottonue basketball will ever see. I will set a lineup Monday morning for the week and check in as much as I can, but the odds of me getting a single victory this season are VERY slim. In baseball you can comb the waiver wire and build a team pretty fast throughout the 162 game season. That's not the case in basketball. Out of respect for the league I will go through the formality of putting in a lineup for my loss each week. I know the responses will be "you never know" and "that''s why they play the game", but I assure you, my odds of winning or the same with or without putting a lineup in. If anyone has a friend who wants to take my team and put in a lineup every day, be my guest. Let the commission know when you guys can abandon my team.
  Earl's Pearls at Nov 13, 2022 11:51 AM
• Fun has been active (11.6) and simply might have missed a few.
  The Hopsmackers at Nov 10, 2022 11:28 PM
• I’ll reach out.
  The Hopsmackers at Nov 10, 2022 11:26 PM
• Why is fun bags not setting lineup? Big liability in h2h league cmon
  Juicy Fruit at Nov 9, 2022 6:01 PM
• Does anyone need some financial flexibility? I will take players for their salary.
  Earl's Pearls at Oct 27, 2022 8:16 AM
• Looking to trade for another C. Have guards like Wall, Dinwiddie, Klay, and Simmons willing to deal in return. Shoot me offers if interested
  Zion the Prize at Oct 19, 2022 9:44 PM
• Cheers Chip! I second that! May your players score points, get all the rebounds, and only shoot 75%+ from the arc.
  The Hopsmackers at Oct 18, 2022 11:06 PM
• Opening day!! Good luck to everyone.
  Chip Baskets'Balls at Oct 18, 2022 10:48 AM
• Hi Chip- Sorry, you are correct. So it'd be division winners plus 3 at large teams. 1-2 get a "bye" then they are put back in.
  The Hopsmackers at Oct 18, 2022 8:18 AM
• If anyone wants to free up some spending money I will buy players off of you. As long as they are reasonably priced for their value

• That's 3 series winners. How would you setup the next round? Wouldn't you need to give byes to #1 and #2, then pair them with the winners to keep an even number of teams in each round?
