I'll wear my Yao Ming jersey next time... Or Dwight! Lakers aren't looking too good this year... I wonder if I can swap my tickets out for clipper ones.

i think the clippers are going to be better, i think their players complement each others skill sets better.  i was thinking about buying the 12 game clipper package when the clippers/hornets trade talks were happening, i wrote down the package prices to see if there was an increase and then the day after the trade they pulled the packages from their website. now you have to call/email them for info. im curious to see what the prices increased to. ill probably call them tomorrow to see what the prices are at.
 
On a side note, Blake Griffin wouldn't give me his jersey after the game, I even asked if he would trade for my Bynum one.  :P

Also, I've never heard the F word and N word used so much in my life! ???

If you're ever unhappy with him I will send either Steve Nash or Jason Kidd to you in a trade.  Your choice.

Maybe if he suffers some season ending injury, otherwise the only players I might trade him for would be Durant or LeBron.  ;)
 
Wow, I sure picked a winning back court.  Stephen Curry sustained an ankle injury in pre-season, Kobe gets slapped with a divorce suit for screwing around on his wife again, and now this:

Monta Ellis sued for sexual harassment

OAKLAND, Calif. -- A former Golden State Warriors employee filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against star guard Monta Ellis on Wednesday, alleging Ellis sent her unwanted texts that included a photo of his genitals.

In her lawsuit, which also names the team, Erika Ross Smith alleges Ellis began sending her explicit messages several times a day starting in November 2010 while she worked in the team's community relations department.

The messages included lines such as, "I want to be with you," and "Hey Sexy," and proposed sexual encounters, according to the lawsuit.

"On a micro level, my client has endured unwanted harassment, has suffered and continues to suffer emotional distress and trauma," Smith's attorney, Burton Boltuch, said at a news conference. "On a macro level, this type of conduct, especially in the sports world, must stop."

Boltuch said his client rejected Ellis' advances. Boltuch also showed a photo of what he said was Ellis' genitalia that the guard allegedly sent to Smith's cellphone.

A call to a spokesman for the Warriors was not returned. Ellis' agent, Jeffrey Fried, said he was en route to Oakland and didn't immediately have a comment.

According to the lawsuit, the Warriors changed Smith's job description and eventually fired her after Ellis' wife learned of the texts and complained to team executives.

"I was treated unfairly. I was let go," Smith, who also has worked for other NBA teams, said at the news conference.

The lawsuit alleges retaliation, wrongful termination and intentional infliction of emotional distress and seeks unspecified damages.

Ellis was the Warriors' leading scorer last season, averaging 24.1 points per game. His acrobatic layups and ball-handling skills have made him a fan favorite, though he is known to be quiet and has few endorsement deals and less notoriety than expected for a player of his caliber.

Ellis signed a $66 million, six-year contract with the Warriors after he averaged 20.2 points during the 2007-08 season. He then sustained a serious ankle injury that summer on his motorized scooter and missed most of the season, earning a 30-game suspension without pay because he wasn't supposed to be riding such a vehicle.

And Kobe now has a wrist injury.  He's listed as day to day, but they had a doctor on one of the sports radio shows saying his particular injury could take 3-4 weeks to heal.
 
Thanks.  Replacing Kobe's scoring production will be impossible with anybody out there, so I don't think it will matter.  I have some bench players that can fill in, but I'll probably lose all my games until he gets back.  I'm not complaining.  It's part of the game, but holy cow, what are the odds of having calamity hit all three starting guards?
 
Only in a 6-team league can you have Kobe, Curry and Monta as your guard rotation.

Ellis should be okay... he better be... I have him in my other league(s).
 
I think I'm getting the hang of it.  There were some balance issues that needed to be addressed on my team due to the auto-draft, but some of that is worked out now.  We'll see where things stand at the end of the week.
 
I've never played H2H with weekly lineups so this will be interesting for me.

We should still figure out how we want to handle injuries... but I guess with so many roster positions... it's not as drastic as in my other leagues where you only have a 5 or 6 man starting lineup so one injury can ruin your week.
 
No, my regular seats are facing the benches.  Sect 101.

I wished I sat behind the benches again.  All I was doing was talking crap to the players..
