  1. just want to give all of the soon to be winners a heads up that i have started the process of transfering all of the entry fees over from the various places they were sent. i will be in new orleans for work today - thursday (heading to the airport in a matter of minutes) so i am planning on sending payouts on friday of this week.

    i for the most part agree with you, but do really enjoy "this life."
  3. i'm not going to pretend to know anything about the foreign guys or the g-leaguers, but based upon the guys i've seen in college this year i'd be fine with: 1. Donovan Clingan - think he'd be a perfect backup to Sengun and provides a defensive presence that Sengun lacks 2. Rob Dillingham - electric scorer. may profile to a 6th man/Lou Williams type of role, but that's fine the Rockets don't need this pick to be a star 3. Cody Williams - defensive wing who can be Tari Eason insurance 4. Jared McCain - would fill a similar role to the one mentioned for Dillingham. better size and probably a better shooter, but more of a one dimensional scorer than Dillingham 5. Dalton Knecht - another scorer, who could start or come off the bench 6. Stephon Castle - big, defensive guard with questionable jump shot. sort of in the Amen Thompson mold though obviously not as athletic. Given that there should be several foreign and g-league guys picked in the top 10, my assumption is that it is very likely that at least one of these guys will be available whenver the Rockets pick.

    can't wait to dive into the new Phosphorescent this evening.
  5. In the past four seasons McDermott has won a game in the tournament every season, been to 3 Sweet Sixteens and 1 Elite Eight. I wouldn't thumb my nose at him.
  6. that's not a bad idea since people can't update their picks once the contest begins. i think we should implement a refund for the last place finisher next year.
  7. nice first outing from chris sale: 5.1ip, 2er, 5h, 7k, 2bb. if he can be good (and healthy( this year then the braves will have a very formidable top 3 in the rotation.
  8. whoops - thought i posted this the other day but i guess i didn't. i show 57 paid entries. payouts to the top 3 finishers should be: 1st - $855 2nd - $513 3rd - $342
  9. i have a hard time believeing that Tszyu is going to be able to make it through this.
  10. took my nephews (aged 4, 5, and 6) to it this afternoon and we all had a great time. it was super fun to watch it sort of through their eyes. anytime something big would happen i'd glance over at them and they were all blown away. i grew up loving ghostbusters so i love that they love it too. they're obviously not the original but i think rudd, coon, and grace are doing a very solid job with their roles as the new generation. especially mckenna grace. i asked all of my nephews who their favorite ghostbuster was after the movie and they all said phoebe. i actually liked it slightly better than afterlife and agree that kumar was fantastic in his side-role.
  11. 30 point second half for jalen green. agreed that he needs to be better from the free throw line.
  12. same. really did not anticipate iowa state missing/air balling so many layups.
  13. NL: D'backs over/Phillies under AL: Rays over/Rangers under
  14. pretty sure my team is going to suck.
  15. oh that's awesome! did not catch a break last night with the warriors and lakers both winning so getting this win tonight would be very nice.
  16. midnight start time, 5 minutes per pick.
