Thanks for the update.  I'm winning the all important "closest to zero out of the negatives" contest.

Wow... I backed off on Carmelo because I thought it was time for him to have an off game and he scores 42.

Now I'm in good position for my second doody award of the young season.

Kwhit is reaping big time points out of Frye in this young season. I think that will stop once he hits the 10 game mark.

I wanted Fyre for today.

That was asked prior to game time and I'm not so sure Redz gave an answer. At least it was ambiguous. Personally, I could care less because I might try to latch onto Ryan Anderson or Gilbert Arenas for the remainder of their less than ten games in part of the game. That's when it really only pays off.

I mean think about it. If you constantly take the same guy over and over and do well, sooner or later his success is going to cause you pick to be bad because his average will only continue to rise. You can only ride a truly hot player so long before his hotness affects his average to the point of making choosing him detrimental.

nickagneta: Trevor Ariza; Houston Rockets: 8.9
Atzar - Deron Williams, Utah Jazz:  19.4

Out of curiosity, do we switch to this year's stats ten days into the season or after the teams have played ten games?

Out of curiosity, do we switch to this year's stats ten days into the season or after the teams have played ten games?

I think once a player has finished playing in his tenth game he then graduates to this year's averages instead of using last year's. Someone can correct me is I am wrong but it is the individual player's games played not ten games into the entire NBA season or ten game for the team the player has played on. I think it is that the player has to play in over ten games this year for him to be stat eligible to use this year's stats.

So, for example, if a bench player pulls a DNP or if a player is suspended or injured, even if his team has played in ten games, if he hasn't, then use last year's numbers. But is he also played in less than ten games last year and his name isn't Gilbert Arenas, then he is ineligible until he plays in 10 NBA games this year.
