Tell me about it. It felt oddly fitting that it was a total mystery who was going to win with how great March madness has been this weekend. Could’ve gone either way and I was shocked as well.

I watched the entire Lakers/Pacers game last night. Im up 7 with 55 seconds to go in nba game. AD gets layup with 30 seconds left, then Haliburton hits the first 3. Next time down court, my season was over as Haliburton let it fly. 😤. Two great playoff games for Nylon but unfortunately we didn't survive the second one. Good luck to those in championship!!!

That's some real Match Madness right there.
Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Mar 25, 2024 8:09 AM -
1 point. 1 damn point. Great game Hield

why do you ask?
Why do we Tacko Fall sir? at Mar 24, 2024 1:02 PM -
quick question Niv since I can't find find it on the site — in the rare case of a H2H Pts tie in the playoffs for Basketball or Baseball, is the tiebreaker the same in those leagues, it goes to H2H Season Series first?
Basketball Galactica at Mar 24, 2024 1:01 PM -
fun
Slick Watts at Mar 18, 2024 12:05 AM -
What a game!
Hartbreakers at Mar 18, 2024 12:04 AM -
tie breakers are: 1) whoever won the regular season series and then 2) higher seed. crazy game!
Why do we Tacko Fall sir? at Mar 18, 2024 12:04 AM -
Great battle. You should have the tie breaker tho. I'll be rooting for you next week Rippin
Slick Watts at Mar 18, 2024 12:01 AM -
Great game so far Slick Watts! Let's ball out today and may the best team win!!
Hartbreakers at Mar 17, 2024 1:56 PM -
He's cool, man! 6' 3" versatile guard averaging 8 boards a game <3
Full of Hell-iburton at Mar 9, 2024 9:03 AM -
nobody would love to see him be worth it more than me!
Basketball Galactica at Mar 9, 2024 8:31 AM -
I bid $5 thinking I might get him for $3 and would probably feel like it might be an over-pay. I guess his stock is rising, but the mocks I've read have been all over the place.
Well.. Devin Carter for ROY, Let's go!!
Full of Hell-iburton at Mar 8, 2024 7:50 PM -
As someone who spent most of college at Providence Friars parties and goes to five to ten games at the Dunk a year... I cannot believe Devon Carter just went for $5 lol. Discount season is over.

BREAKING: WOJ - "Top seed Bennie & the Chets acquire veteran big man Brook Lopez; release Ben Simmons and Zach Collins."

BREAKING: WOJ - "Nikola Galatica signs UFA Cleveland guard Darius Gardland to 30-Day guaranteed contract"
Full of Hell-iburton at Mar 1, 2024 8:27 AM -
We are honestly at a disadvantage adding Austin (Helliburton) to the league. He's been doing 2K24 rebuilds daily since august. He knows the league. He knows how sim. He knows how trade. He knows how to game. May god have mercy on us.

"Alright KevOn. Trae Young is a 40 dollar player. That's true...that might be true...that's ridiculous?"
"That's ridiculous, Chris. Look, Atlanta has had a pretty ugly regular season, despite Jalen Johnson being a legitimate contender for Most Improved. But Trae Young is a double-double machine. I think any organization would be more than happy to have him at discount."
Full of Hell-iburton at Feb 29, 2024 3:00 PM -
Whoa, they're talking about us on the mismatch guys.
"Kevon?? are you kiddin' me. In the span of 24 hours Helli-burton cut Joker and the whole league has gone ab-so-lute bananas."
"VERNNOOOOO . What an exciting time for the Mendoza league. In no less than a day, we saw an unprecedented level of activity. Ja, Fox, George are headed to Helliburton making them a serious contendor in the West"
"Kevon....Are YOU KIDDN MAY? He just cut the best friggin' player in the NBA. They are not winning the west."
"That may be true Verno but you have to admire the agressive mentality of the GM. He's going all in this year and frankly I'm excited for it. I also think Obi Toppin is an underrated addition and when it comes playoff time he'll be getting big minutes for Helliburton down the stretch"
"Obi-FREAKIN-Toppin is not getting big minutes down the stretch KEVON! Halliburton is going now where. They have no bigs and too many guards KEVON."
"That may be the case VERNO but it's certainly going to the team culture interesting and set them up for the offeseason"
We Shall All Be Hield at Feb 29, 2024 2:50 PM -
Me too! This league action deserves full coverage! I wish Jackie McCMullen and Windhorst could break down all these moves on a pod. I wish Sam Veccinie could talk about the new team fits with the new gaurd heavy Full of Hell-iburton. How will this impact the playoffs? Is full of Helliburton the new king of the west? Is this Lebron's last chance at a title with Bennie and the Chets? We need Stephen A to weigh in!
We Shall All Be Hield at Feb 29, 2024 2:38 PM -
I wish Woj and Shams were on ESPN doing live-coverage of our league right now.
Full of Hell-iburton at Feb 29, 2024 2:30 PM -
CHAOS is a LADDAH!
Basketball Galactica at Feb 28, 2024 8:40 PM -
let me put it this way: I said I had a foot out. I will be back next year, now. the Embiid and Tatum claims made this perfect for me, a pile of money and a ton of guys for two guys that were getting cut.
Basketball Galactica at Feb 28, 2024 8:40 PM -
I may be biased because I caused it, but Jokic-gate has been incredibly fun and interesting. There's so much activity happening.
Full of Hell-iburton at Feb 28, 2024 11:35 AM -
Give em Hell-iburton
Basketball Galactica at Feb 28, 2024 10:17 AM -

Full of Hell-iburton at Feb 28, 2024 9:05 AM -
Agreed that everyone should feel free to go full send. It's a new frontier. Let's embrace it together.
It's Darko and Hell is Hot at Feb 27, 2024 10:54 PM -
what JR said. go chaos em!
Slick Watts at Feb 27, 2024 10:19 PM -
Also hell-iburton you're obviously free to play whoever you want! I basically consider everything that's been done within the rules and in good faith - carry on with the chaos y'all
JR Smith Intramural Team at Feb 27, 2024 10:16 PM -
I have strus and obviously that's not happening, max. God that was magical. I was watching on a Mavs announcer broadcast which was infuriating but then worth it when he hit that final shot and they scream "A HEARTBREAKING, BACKBREAKING, SPIRIT CRUSHING LOSS"
JR Smith Intramural Team at Feb 27, 2024 10:15 PM -
It's no secret that I have a lot of cash to spend on the talent pool. In the spirit of good-faith and sportsmanship, I don't plan to give starts to any of the players I acquire from claims or auctions. That's just my own conscience. I'm not trying to say I think it should apply to everyone.
Full of Hell-iburton at Feb 27, 2024 9:22 PM -
Whoever has Max Strus needs to cut him right now because I need to sign him ASAP
Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 27, 2024 9:19 PM -
Nikola Galactica lmao
Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 27, 2024 8:45 PM -
If my team was good, I'm sure I"d be furious. But, it isn't so I'm all aboard.

Basketball Galactica at Feb 27, 2024 5:35 PM -
I haven't read all this, sorry. I'm having a great time. After the trade deadline I thought it would be boring and then my team dropped a couple close ones (after previously flukishly winning close ones) so I had nothing going on. Now all of a sudden there are all these players available and teams are having to make decisions about what they want to do about it. I don't know if this is a viable strategy that you'd want to adjust the rules in order to temper, but it certainly creates a lot of decision points in an otherwise bland stretch of the season. That guy dropped Jokic and suddenly he has all this money and there are a ton of interesting free agents. Maybe he's a savant.
Magnum Rollers at Feb 27, 2024 4:53 PM -
Oh wow. Trace Jackson Davis up for bid! Never thought I’d see the day!
We Shall All Be Hield at Feb 27, 2024 3:27 PM -
Totally ok to voice how you feel. It’s not unusual or anything.
We Shall All Be Hield at Feb 27, 2024 11:53 AM -
I don't mean to push back I just don't want to lose another player who's actively involved. I hate when people aren't setting their lineups and are gone in the month of February and March. This owner is actually trying to get better and I feel like we're pushing them out the door that's my only reason for pushing back and I apologize for being frustrated
Hartbreakers at Feb 27, 2024 9:54 AM -
It certainly is a very nuanced issue to me (maybe not everyone). So it's pretty tough to state what exactly is perfectly fair or right.
We Shall All Be Hield at Feb 27, 2024 9:53 AM -
Thanks for your thoughts, Nylon. I hear what you are saying. I'm not getting the impression that everyone here is super mad or anything. Just differences in opinion. I think things are the way we are and we can all do our best to adjust to what has happened. While it's unorthodox we all have an opportunity to claim the cut players if we are willing to cut stars of our own. It certainly is an unprecedented situation but I think if we all try to take in it stride, we will be ok!
We Shall All Be Hield at Feb 27, 2024 9:52 AM -
Ignorance of the rules and non competitive are terms we are throwing out cmon yall really?
Hartbreakers at Feb 27, 2024 9:10 AM -
He is 1-5 since he took over. Trae just got hurt! The team was either in third or fourth place when he took over. He's been falling fast what's he supposed to do sit on 144 Joker and wait till auction or get a bunch of trade offers that aren't going to give him the value he could get by cutting him. He is actively trying to get better for next year and youre all trashing him for it. This is particularly frustrating.
Hartbreakers at Feb 27, 2024 9:07 AM -
my main issue is with a team sitting sixth tanking. the rest of it is fine.
Why do we Tacko Fall sir? at Feb 27, 2024 8:57 AM -
Hopefully Jokic doesn't shred his ACL tonight.
Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 27, 2024 8:33 AM -
Please reach out if you have thoughts, we will listen but don't expect any reversals at this point. Let's try and battle the rest of this season out and we'll see where we get.
Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 27, 2024 8:33 AM -
FINAL LINE: Been texting Hield about this and here's where we'll stand.
1) Because the original Jokic cut was made in good-faith and in an attempt to be competitive, it will not be reversed. Ignorance of the rules is not a reason for reversal in our opinion.
2) I believe it does notify you before finalizing cuts if your roster will be valid or not. Because of that, Galactica, unfortunately yours will have to stand as well.
3) Since the original Jokic cut will not be reversed, the resulting scrum will stand.
Dunkness on the Edge of Town at Feb 27, 2024 8:32 AM -
ah. Misread the rule there. Well that hurts the build but a full reset next year with Jokic trade after the draft for everything and more since he's probably worth $180 in this format with limited games a week makes more sense then losing Jojo and Tatum for nothing to cuts.
