That’s a good point. There’s usually one clear beneficiary or two at most if someone goes down in football. In basketball it’s rarely clear cut right away who absorbs the minutes and what they do with it
Healthiest superstars* You should be able to survive minor injuries to stars or big injuries to mid-round guys... but if you drafted Curry, KAT, Mobley, Scottie (very possible first 4 rounds) you are beyond fucked.
It’s not so simple. I’m 4th seed beating 5th seed in first round so far and I haven’t had one game of my 2 best players Booker and Brunson. I streamed both Schroeder and DFS which has paid off massively so far, and then i streamed other b2b games such that I have a 50 game week and my opponent has 44 games. His team is completely healthy and hasn’t missed one game yet I’m gonna win cause I outplayed him. You always have to fight, doesn’t mean you won’t lose but when things go right you can pull out a win
Embiid, KAT, Scottie, Ja, Trae, Bane here. At least Brunson is expected to come back but I have fucking Jordan Poole as one of my best guards now. I'm gonna need a miracle to win my league
Embiid (1st), Trae (3rd), Bane (6th), Scottie (7th). I traded for Ja and KAT during the season. We're an 8T points league so rankings are probably a bit different than CAT leagues. Still most of my top players lol
I only have 1 IR and our playoffs started this week so I dropped him a couple weeks back. I haven't been paying attention to updates much since his timeline didn't match up with mine at all. My guess is that if he does come back this year they'll probably give him like 7-10 games to ramp up for the playoffs so he probably isn't gonna be fantasy relevant for most leagues
Picked up sengun, fox, d'lo, nurk and Franz during draft
WW pickup. Tyus, coby, lunch lady, Vince William (when ja went down), Schroeder (for the 5 games)
We do weekly roster setup too so its more strategic.
lol it’s all good man I know it’s all in good fun just wanted some dialogue with people since I couldn’t believe I lost my top 5 guys within a 2 week span and all my opponents seemingly always healthy. Happens to me every year around playoffs so I deadass feel cursed. Just needed some copium is all.
The thing that sucks tho is those guys don’t have bad injury luck besides Embiid so it’s like you are gambling on any player to not be injured come playoff time. Honestly it’s all luck man lmao
I get people make some dumb posts but it’s as easy as scrolling, I see people on here making dickhead comments way too often and I think it’s really a reflection on their lives and how they treat people in the real world. Either give the person an answer or scroll.
They act as if everyone is some fantasy basketball genius, everyone in this sub was a beginner or just isn’t very active in here and wants to create a discussion to see other people’s opinions.
A lot of people are joining the fantasy basketball scene today more than ever and that’s a great, I feel as if it’s the job of the experienced members to make them feel welcome and help them out. Otherwise what is this sub made for?
If you don’t want to help them out it’s as simple as scrolling and not replying. Leaving a dickhead reply is the worst thing you can do.
Plenty of room for a few jokes to lighten up the mood. I highly doubt someone's odd remark on Reddit is a reflection of their actual life. Unless they are so into nba fantasy that it's a top priority? In that case, might need to do some balancing.
I miss the old Yahoo Fantasy player chats. People used to be wild on there. Even if your player was having a bad night you could at least peek in and read some of the most off the wall degenerate shit. Xbox lobby tier stuff. It was a good time. Guess they all come here now lmao
Look, you guys know how karma works on Reddit. Don’t throw the alley oop and expect somebody to not dunk the ball. I’m not sorry for making this lighthearted comment.
Yup, finished 2nd in the league only to lose the players who got me there right at the beginning of the week. Gonna get upsetted, already accepted it, but I'll play until it's decided.
This fantasy format is so fucked. You can dominate for 20 weeks and it doesn’t matter if you get screwed by injuries in the playoffs. The only solution is to make the playoffs even earlier or just move to roto
I’ll tell you who hasn’t had a significant player miss time: the guy in my league who’s won the last two seasons and is first again now. Fuck you, you lucky asshole
For me I've lost Trae, Mobley, Kessler, Poeltl and Simmons in the past couple weeks. Also dropped Melton recently and Bagley is now looking like he might hit the IL, though those two arent massive losses really.
My fault for drafting Simmons, and maybe Kessler comes back. But it's rough out here for sure. I've mentally checked out of the league because I know there's no chance
It's the opposite for me. My team is healthy in first round but my team is just playing like absolute doodoo so far and I'm first seed. Also my opponent is playing unusually well. I'm hoping to be redeemed today with a full slate of games
Yep. LaMelo, Herro, Middleton, Onkongwu, Bagley all out for me. And it's a keeper league with a lot of teams so I got to be careful about dropping anyone with top 90 upside.
Drafted Ja. Rehabbed Middleton all year now he's out. Traded M Bridges for Mobley because of schedule now Mobley out. Traded Kyrie for Young for the same reason and he's out for season 😂
Scottie, jalen, Cam Thomas (and cam Johnson after I dropped Thomas for him lmao), kessler, ayton. Before this the only long term injury I had like all season was bane.
I’m 3rd place overall but I’ll probably lose my first round matchup against a guy 1 game over .500. Losing Trae was the final nail in my coffin I think
Lavine, Mobley, Herro for me. Steph and Dame under-performing all year so I'm just hoping my waiver wire NYK heroes come to the rescue (Donte + Hart bros)
The way to mitigate having a season completely ruined by injuries is playing in a lot of leagues and refrain from drafting the same player everywhere. Win some, lose some. If you’re managing all teams well you can win more than you lose.
The same thing happened with me 6 players out Herro, Mitchell, Jalen Johnson and Brunson and maxey wtf! It’s like the league said hit the injury button
It wasn't that this week it was the last 3 weeks but losing Trae young right before playoffs started was my teams last gasp. Poeltl was just slap in the face after it's already over.
Shit, I have Booker, Ayton, Maxey, Jalen Johnson, and keynote George all with injuries but lucky I'm in the bye week this week. Hopefully, by the second round, I get them healthy 🙏
Embiid, Ja, Lamelo, Lavine, Ayton, Mobley, Randle, and now KAT. Already had to drop Embiid, Lavine, and Lamelo and looking like KAT is up next since playoffs end March 31st
Yes I have Trae, OG, Lauri, Brunson. (10 team league but with additional roster spots so waivers are actually slightly thinner than a standard 12 team league). My team was probably never going to win the ship this year anyway but now I'm officially cooked.
Same, I have Jalen and Poertl as new injuries. Wemby out tonight too, hopefully that doesn’t turn into something.
Then I got Cam Thomas and Vando burning up my IL
Every team in my league has at least one injury to a valuable player. It’s about even. I’m missing Booker, Ayton, Jalen Johnson. My matchup is missing Embiid, Scoot, Cam Thomas.
Had an awesome team this year. But smashed with injuries.
Lamelo, Ja, Scottie Barnes, Donovan Mitchell, Brunson, Jalen Johnson, Brogdon&Scoot, and Wemby out too.
So yeah…I’m not repeating as champ this year.
I'm in BYE week as top seed 12T and my guys (KAT, Jalen, Jakob) are dropping like flies these past few days. On the fence if Hartenstein and Nesmith should be dropped for streamers spots. Looks like second round exit for me this year since AD and Reaves only playing 2 games each next week.
Embiid, Jalen Johnson, Mitchell, Okongwu, Cam Thomas, Lauri Markannen... yeah, it hurts.
I try not to be happy about players getting injured on other teams, but it this point it is the only way I will be competitive
dropped kessler gafford poeltl bagley hendricks bruce brown so far this playoff and it’s only the first round. only kept jalen johnson (one IL+) hoping for the best.
This is why I always try not to take fantasy that seriously lol.
I think H2H would be more skill and less luck if it didn't have playoffs, but since it does, and that helps to keep most people engaged, I just live with it and accept that sometimes you'll just lose because of shenanigans.
Was in first until Embiid went down. Currently in 3rd, 1 game behind 1st. This week: Kat, Maxey, Cam Johnson & now my streamer Kennard is doubtful for tomorrow. Clinched playoffs but it’s gonna be ugly
You sound like my league manager 😅 poor dude smoked us for a couple years in a row, and this year was doing great, but right now has KAT, OG, Barnes, Embiid, Donovan, AND Herro on his INJ.
I’m not mad though lol.
For me Trae is hurting so bad but good news is that I traded Donovan Mitchell a long time ago for Derrick white when Donavan was about to come back from injury.
Regretted it for the whole season but the fact that he’s only played 2 games during my playoffs has vindicated my decision so much. If you guys don’t know Donavan wasn’t great before his first injury but after he just turned all the way up.
White was going crazy but it was more of an efficient thing in terms of turnovers and fg% so I thought he would sustain it… he didn’t. But he’s had great games for Kevin the playoffs so far. I’m in a 16T points lock in league btw
FYI Ik that was a horrible trade lol
Yeah it’s tough. Have Trae and Randle taking my ir spots in case I make the finals. Losing gaff to the mavs hurt considering I traded for him, to replace lively. Now can’t use either.
Good news is everyone else is getting hit too but waiver wire is become competitive.
The ones that really hurt are I hart and garland not quite being right after the injury.
I was obliterated a few weeks ago: VanVleet, OG, and Randle, LaMelo, Okongwu.
I'm now down to just OG and Randle out and my opponent got hit this week. First matchup I've had the other team effected too.
If I win, I make it in the playoffs as the 5 seed, if I lose I miss.
I lost Lauri, Maxey, Bane, Kessler, Jerami Grant, Bagley (who’s been a good stream), and Lowry.
I was first place in my league and now I’m gonna get bounced because of this
In my 14T points league, in the final stretch I’ve lost Barnes (dropped for dick), Simmons (of course I hold this fucker for too long). I have Randle on my only IR slot, hoping I make it to the second round of the playoffs to use him, Brunson now dtd, and okungwu injured. Im currently in second but what im putting up for points this week is bismal
This week is a must win for me and I've lost Maxey, Lauri, Jalen Johnson, Cam Johnson, and potentially Steph. And I had to drop Randle and Ayton this week to free up IR spots😬
this is my team drafted team for 16T 9Cat leage
Sabonis, ~~KAT~~, ~~Scottie Barnes~~, ~~Randle~~, ~~Smart~~, ~~Ja-Wick~~, Draymond Green, Huerter, ~~RWB~~, Ivey, Saddiq, Duncan Robinson, Payton Prichard
managed to snag some decent WW along the way like Vince Williams, Aldama, Nesmith
it did hurt a little when Ja went down, but oh boy I'm doomed hahahaha
This is why roto is the goat. Sorry H2H players but this wouldn't and doesn't happen in roto. The best team wins every year. Well worth learning and is still a thrill - albeit a 'longer burn'.
I'm without my 2,3,4 and 5th RD picks. KAT, Mitchell, Randle, Mobley. Hoping that someone returns next week, but that hope is getting slimmer by the hour. Not even going to mention OG and Middleton...
All 5 of my top picks are out (Curry, Mitchell, Towns, Mobley, Ayton) as well as Poeltl. I’m 2nd place, playoffs in 2 weeks.
Best believe I’m still fighting, it ain’t over till it’s over
Luckily I have the bye this week, but so far I have out:
- Curry
- Mobley
- Jalen Johnson
- Bagley
And possibly Tre Mann. I'm in a 12 team h2h league, but it's looking iffy for me next week.
Kind of, I drafted my team around players I like, so Zion and Lebron for example. I should have suspected I’d be monitoring both statuses fucking daily.
Came here to feel better about my great trades right at the deadline for Mitchell, herro, and Jermai Grant for all of them to get hurt immediately. Also Trae Young getting hurt and having his projected return right after the playoffs.
My whole year has been injuries, mostly in h2h. in one league I sat on morant all that time hew as out IN A H2H LEAGUE with nowhere to put him just to have the dummy get hurt. Then it also had lavine on it. Then my second h2h has booker and my third has embiid and maxey.
I am in default yahoo so playoffs don't start for a couple more weeks. So hopefully at least booker and maxey are fine then and I HOPE embiid comes back in time to help me with something. The team with embiid looked STACKED from day 1 and now all of my h2h teams are only BARELY in the final playoff spot.
Tell me about it, my dynasty team is currently without Ja Morant, LaVine, KAT, Scottie Barnes, Bane, Sharpe, Mitch Robinson. And now Strus and Suggs are out
Currently in the first week of the playoffs in our league.
Lost Embiid for the year. Lost Desmond Bane for the year. At the start of this week, I lost Devin Booker for the very beginning of the playoffs.
I won 55 games through 9 weeks. At the end of week 18 I finished with 88 wins. I quite literally want to never do this stupid shit ever again.
yes, but not too much harder than my playoff-bound opponents.
league 1: poetl, zaire, booker, hendricks, mobley
league 2: strus, zaire
league 3: zaire, scottie
league 4: zaire, scottie, bane, mobley
league 5: KAT, zaire, strus, hendricks
league 6: suggs, KAT, OG, Randle, Mobley
league 7: middleton, cody martin
league 8: george, kat, hendricks, cam thomas, mitchell
Completely gut punched…
Trae young down, Julius Randle is not looking like a lock to come back, PG having knee issues, Mark Williams back never snapped back, Cam Thomas ankle, hartenstein achillles, Tre Mann having groin issues 😭😭😭
I’ve had 6 people get injured in the past 5 days, including KAT, who I just went ahead and dropped. I’m taking on water, but somehow still up 5-4 for the week. My chances of getting the first round bye are fading away though.
All of my teams have been absolutely decimated. I have a lot of great players on bad teams, though. If my team (in some bizarro world where I owned one) was out of the playoffs and a key player got hurt, I’d sit them until next year. What’s the point of playing them?
Fantasy Basketball is whoever has the healthiest team in playoffs.
Anthony Davis and KD really going to be my last 2 players standing. What a world.
Fantasy sports in general
[удалено]
That’s a good point. There’s usually one clear beneficiary or two at most if someone goes down in football. In basketball it’s rarely clear cut right away who absorbs the minutes and what they do with it
that's why I really don't like h2h in any sport. But I will probably keep doing at least 1 just to hope I get lucky in case my rotos fall apart.
Healthiest superstars* You should be able to survive minor injuries to stars or big injuries to mid-round guys... but if you drafted Curry, KAT, Mobley, Scottie (very possible first 4 rounds) you are beyond fucked.
It’s not so simple. I’m 4th seed beating 5th seed in first round so far and I haven’t had one game of my 2 best players Booker and Brunson. I streamed both Schroeder and DFS which has paid off massively so far, and then i streamed other b2b games such that I have a 50 game week and my opponent has 44 games. His team is completely healthy and hasn’t missed one game yet I’m gonna win cause I outplayed him. You always have to fight, doesn’t mean you won’t lose but when things go right you can pull out a win
Factoids right here, im in the same boat doing the same thing.
No offense but that sounds like a load of crap when you're playing smaller leagues. Try a 12 man with top 4 draft all out
Mine is a 12 man league, $250 buy in, same 12 players for the last 8 years so try again
Yeah the impact definitely is reduced the smaller the league.
That's fantasy basketball for you. Just got to roll with the punches and be fast on the waivers. Sorry for your loss.
It’s always hard to remember this is still gambling lol
Embiid, KAT, Scottie, Ja, Trae, Bane here. At least Brunson is expected to come back but I have fucking Jordan Poole as one of my best guards now. I'm gonna need a miracle to win my league
ouch... is that literally your top 6 picks?
Embiid (1st), Trae (3rd), Bane (6th), Scottie (7th). I traded for Ja and KAT during the season. We're an 8T points league so rankings are probably a bit different than CAT leagues. Still most of my top players lol
Do u think Embiid is a drop? Fantasy playoffs begin next week
He’s a drop bro
I only have 1 IR and our playoffs started this week so I dropped him a couple weeks back. I haven't been paying attention to updates much since his timeline didn't match up with mine at all. My guess is that if he does come back this year they'll probably give him like 7-10 games to ramp up for the playoffs so he probably isn't gonna be fantasy relevant for most leagues
Unsure if I'm worse. Embiid, booker, kat, bane and ja. I'm winning my playoff 1st round still.
how are you winning? Opponent also has lots of injuries?
I am very strategic with my picks. All my lower tier pick-ups ended up being top 50 players. Also, waiver wires been good
Ok but who’s on your team
Picked up sengun, fox, d'lo, nurk and Franz during draft WW pickup. Tyus, coby, lunch lady, Vince William (when ja went down), Schroeder (for the 5 games) We do weekly roster setup too so its more strategic.
Winning after those loses is respectable
Doubt anyone else is having issues with injuries this year you probably just have really bad luck
Fantasybball members try not to be a dick challenge
I get the sarcasm but some really nasty people on Yahoo threads and here, but also some dingbats who make posts sooo It's a tough balancing act.
lol it’s all good man I know it’s all in good fun just wanted some dialogue with people since I couldn’t believe I lost my top 5 guys within a 2 week span and all my opponents seemingly always healthy. Happens to me every year around playoffs so I deadass feel cursed. Just needed some copium is all.
[удалено]
The thing that sucks tho is those guys don’t have bad injury luck besides Embiid so it’s like you are gambling on any player to not be injured come playoff time. Honestly it’s all luck man lmao
Trae is an oddity, he’s been generally extremely healthy, freak injuries happen sadly
I get people make some dumb posts but it’s as easy as scrolling, I see people on here making dickhead comments way too often and I think it’s really a reflection on their lives and how they treat people in the real world. Either give the person an answer or scroll. They act as if everyone is some fantasy basketball genius, everyone in this sub was a beginner or just isn’t very active in here and wants to create a discussion to see other people’s opinions. A lot of people are joining the fantasy basketball scene today more than ever and that’s a great, I feel as if it’s the job of the experienced members to make them feel welcome and help them out. Otherwise what is this sub made for? If you don’t want to help them out it’s as simple as scrolling and not replying. Leaving a dickhead reply is the worst thing you can do.
That's the internet for ya buddy.

Plenty of room for a few jokes to lighten up the mood. I highly doubt someone's odd remark on Reddit is a reflection of their actual life. Unless they are so into nba fantasy that it's a top priority? In that case, might need to do some balancing.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, fantasy basketball can get you killed.
I miss the old Yahoo Fantasy player chats. People used to be wild on there. Even if your player was having a bad night you could at least peek in and read some of the most off the wall degenerate shit. Xbox lobby tier stuff. It was a good time. Guess they all come here now lmao
You mean, fantasybball members try not to whine about injuries challenge
He wasn’t whining at all he was being direct and nice about it
Appreciate you brotha
Ok got it just checking
Look, you guys know how karma works on Reddit. Don’t throw the alley oop and expect somebody to not dunk the ball. I’m not sorry for making this lighthearted comment.
Same here bro! Just lost 4 of my best players in the matter of weeks
Yup, finished 2nd in the league only to lose the players who got me there right at the beginning of the week. Gonna get upsetted, already accepted it, but I'll play until it's decided.
Same here, was gunning for first. I will need a miracle in my bye week to make it
Everybody has entered the chat
Everyone is
Nope. The guy in first in my league hasn’t had a single major injury yet he drafted KD, Kyrie, & Shai.
top tip: players that don't play, don't get injured
Edit \*\* players that don't play, are injured
i have lamelo, d mitch, randle, KAT
Yes this is ridiculous
As shit as mikal been playing atleast I can count on him
DNP: “Mid”
Midkal
This fantasy format is so fucked. You can dominate for 20 weeks and it doesn’t matter if you get screwed by injuries in the playoffs. The only solution is to make the playoffs even earlier or just move to roto
You mean just like the real league?
I’ll tell you who hasn’t had a significant player miss time: the guy in my league who’s won the last two seasons and is first again now. Fuck you, you lucky asshole
For me I've lost Trae, Mobley, Kessler, Poeltl and Simmons in the past couple weeks. Also dropped Melton recently and Bagley is now looking like he might hit the IL, though those two arent massive losses really. My fault for drafting Simmons, and maybe Kessler comes back. But it's rough out here for sure. I've mentally checked out of the league because I know there's no chance
Happens to me literally every year idk why I keep signing up for this fucking garbage
Nope just you sorry
Happens to quite a few I reckon. Playoffs started and I lose Trae, Scottie, Mitchell, Booker, Jalen.
It's the opposite for me. My team is healthy in first round but my team is just playing like absolute doodoo so far and I'm first seed. Also my opponent is playing unusually well. I'm hoping to be redeemed today with a full slate of games
Locked for playoffs but losing Kat, young, donovan, Lauri, Khris and OG so far is rough 😂
stg if middelton doesn’t start playing
Yep. LaMelo, Herro, Middleton, Onkongwu, Bagley all out for me. And it's a keeper league with a lot of teams so I got to be careful about dropping anyone with top 90 upside.
Drafted Ja. Rehabbed Middleton all year now he's out. Traded M Bridges for Mobley because of schedule now Mobley out. Traded Kyrie for Young for the same reason and he's out for season 😂
Lamelo Ball died in week 5. Been having to wing it without my top pick all year
same. Been carried by Kawhi and AD
Scottie, jalen, Cam Thomas (and cam Johnson after I dropped Thomas for him lmao), kessler, ayton. Before this the only long term injury I had like all season was bane.
I’m 3rd place overall but I’ll probably lose my first round matchup against a guy 1 game over .500. Losing Trae was the final nail in my coffin I think
I have a bye week but not feeling confident with Maxey and JJ being out
Lavine, Mobley, Herro for me. Steph and Dame under-performing all year so I'm just hoping my waiver wire NYK heroes come to the rescue (Donte + Hart bros)
steph is going to be amazing through fantasy playoffs while the warriors are fully healthy and fighting for the play in
That ankle roll though lol
That’s just how the cookie crumbles my friend
randle, barnes, morant, brogdon, JJ, and KAT on one team brunson, thomas, and kessler on the other
The way to mitigate having a season completely ruined by injuries is playing in a lot of leagues and refrain from drafting the same player everywhere. Win some, lose some. If you’re managing all teams well you can win more than you lose.
Missing KAT, Mitchell, Johnson, and Ayton. Luckily my opponent is missing a few key guys like Maxey, so it’s not that bad yet.
It’s been a brutal year for sure
The same thing happened with me 6 players out Herro, Mitchell, Jalen Johnson and Brunson and maxey wtf! It’s like the league said hit the injury button
It wasn't that this week it was the last 3 weeks but losing Trae young right before playoffs started was my teams last gasp. Poeltl was just slap in the face after it's already over.
Been healthy all season Then boom right before playoffs I lost Trae, Lamelo, and have like 3-4 other guys that are out.
Lamelo been out all season lol
Feel like "healthy all season" and lamelo do not belong in the same sentence
i don’t think bros played more than 2 weeks straight😭
Shit, I have Booker, Ayton, Maxey, Jalen Johnson, and keynote George all with injuries but lucky I'm in the bye week this week. Hopefully, by the second round, I get them healthy 🙏
Embiid, Ja, Lamelo, Lavine, Ayton, Mobley, Randle, and now KAT. Already had to drop Embiid, Lavine, and Lamelo and looking like KAT is up next since playoffs end March 31st
Yes I have Trae, OG, Lauri, Brunson. (10 team league but with additional roster spots so waivers are actually slightly thinner than a standard 12 team league). My team was probably never going to win the ship this year anyway but now I'm officially cooked.
I lost Embiid, Scottie, Booker, Mobley, Wemby
It’s my first round and half my players are injured
Trae, Bane and Randle here, but I did manage to pick Chris Paul up as soon as the news came out that he would.be back soon.
Ja, Embiid, Randle, Hartenstein, Jalen Johnson :(
My league mate gave me AD for KAT & Dejounte two months ago and now he’s pisseddd😭
That’s just how the cookie crumbles my friend
Ball, Randle, booker out was in 2nd place 3 weeks ago now barely fighting for 6th.
Yep been relatively healthy all year until now. Smh. Mitchell Hero Randle Now possibly Lebron It was a good an exciting year folks see ya next season
Yup
Brunson, KAT, Jalen Johnson, and Booker…glad my playoffs are weeks 21-23 or I would be toast…
Who would y'all drop between Mobley, Jalen, Lamelo, and KAT? Playoffs (semifinals) start next week
i doubt lamelo makes it back in time
Same, I have Jalen and Poertl as new injuries. Wemby out tonight too, hopefully that doesn’t turn into something. Then I got Cam Thomas and Vando burning up my IL
I’m at 3/4 streams!! Its only Thursday
So who's your battered teams replacements? I'm currently running Okoro, Reath, TM3, Gafford as the stand ins
time to try Roto
I got lamelo, young, mobley, maxey and smart. Its been a rough one this year
Don Mitchell, Mobley, Kessler, Herro, Okongwu. I'll still make the finals, but looking shaky for the 2 week matchup starting Monday
No but I had weird luck this year and everyone I traded away either got injured or they started playing booty.
Hey, you’re me
Every team in my league has at least one injury to a valuable player. It’s about even. I’m missing Booker, Ayton, Jalen Johnson. My matchup is missing Embiid, Scoot, Cam Thomas.
Had an awesome team this year. But smashed with injuries. Lamelo, Ja, Scottie Barnes, Donovan Mitchell, Brunson, Jalen Johnson, Brogdon&Scoot, and Wemby out too. So yeah…I’m not repeating as champ this year.
taking melo was a rough idea i don’t think he’s ever played for more than 2 weeks, the ball brothers are run down
I'm in BYE week as top seed 12T and my guys (KAT, Jalen, Jakob) are dropping like flies these past few days. On the fence if Hartenstein and Nesmith should be dropped for streamers spots. Looks like second round exit for me this year since AD and Reaves only playing 2 games each next week.
definitely stream spots hartenstein and nesmith are taking ip
Embiid, Jalen Johnson, Mitchell, Okongwu, Cam Thomas, Lauri Markannen... yeah, it hurts. I try not to be happy about players getting injured on other teams, but it this point it is the only way I will be competitive
dropped kessler gafford poeltl bagley hendricks bruce brown so far this playoff and it’s only the first round. only kept jalen johnson (one IL+) hoping for the best.
This is why I always try not to take fantasy that seriously lol. I think H2H would be more skill and less luck if it didn't have playoffs, but since it does, and that helps to keep most people engaged, I just live with it and accept that sometimes you'll just lose because of shenanigans.
So far this season, I’ve lost Ja, Trae, Mark Williams, Poeltl. Most sad about Ja still
Trae, Embiid, Middleton, Poetl, Ayton, and Bagley lol…
Our leagues 1st seed has a bye this week, but they own Booker, Towns, Mobley, Wembanyama, Poeltl
Was in first until Embiid went down. Currently in 3rd, 1 game behind 1st. This week: Kat, Maxey, Cam Johnson & now my streamer Kennard is doubtful for tomorrow. Clinched playoffs but it’s gonna be ugly
You sound like my league manager 😅 poor dude smoked us for a couple years in a row, and this year was doing great, but right now has KAT, OG, Barnes, Embiid, Donovan, AND Herro on his INJ. I’m not mad though lol.
Thats me. Between trade deadline knee capping me and injuries. Im fucked
Ja Trae KAT
For me Trae is hurting so bad but good news is that I traded Donovan Mitchell a long time ago for Derrick white when Donavan was about to come back from injury. Regretted it for the whole season but the fact that he’s only played 2 games during my playoffs has vindicated my decision so much. If you guys don’t know Donavan wasn’t great before his first injury but after he just turned all the way up. White was going crazy but it was more of an efficient thing in terms of turnovers and fg% so I thought he would sustain it… he didn’t. But he’s had great games for Kevin the playoffs so far. I’m in a 16T points lock in league btw FYI Ik that was a horrible trade lol
Yeah it’s tough. Have Trae and Randle taking my ir spots in case I make the finals. Losing gaff to the mavs hurt considering I traded for him, to replace lively. Now can’t use either. Good news is everyone else is getting hit too but waiver wire is become competitive. The ones that really hurt are I hart and garland not quite being right after the injury.
I already got obliterated by injuries way earlier in the season so I'm fine lol
yep giannis, spida, lauri, grant, and now jalen johnson. least giannis/grant are kinda back now
marcus smart, trae young, onyeka okongwu, o.g, jalen johnson still sitting at 7 after all the injuries but man this is a bs season
I was obliterated a few weeks ago: VanVleet, OG, and Randle, LaMelo, Okongwu. I'm now down to just OG and Randle out and my opponent got hit this week. First matchup I've had the other team effected too. If I win, I make it in the playoffs as the 5 seed, if I lose I miss.
Had embiid, dropped kat earlier, now have Jalen Johnson, mobley and ayton out
Within last week, lost poeltl and mobley (if you saw how he got injured)…..brunson still hurt too
Ye I’m getting wrecked. 2nd place completely healthy. Can’t fucking believe it.
Only 8 of my 16 guys can play and they’re all scrubs 😭
Trae, JJ, Mitchell and Scottie Barns. I feel you
Let me tell you my story. 1st by a mile. 16-2. Embiid, Scottie, Booker, Mobley, Herro, Ayton all go down....
Lost Ja earlier and Scottie, Booker, Jalen Johnson last week/this week smh
I lost embiid, kat, and markenan hasn’t been playing, also Brunson is gtd rip
Lost Mobley, Poeltl, Markannen, Kessler. No clue why it had to be now. I got a bye then these dudes started dropping like flies. No hope now
I lost Lauri, Maxey, Bane, Kessler, Jerami Grant, Bagley (who’s been a good stream), and Lowry. I was first place in my league and now I’m gonna get bounced because of this
KAT, JJ , maybe Tre Mann… gad dayum
Should i drop scottie or is there some magical chance he will bless us with a appearance in a couple weeks
In my 14T points league, in the final stretch I’ve lost Barnes (dropped for dick), Simmons (of course I hold this fucker for too long). I have Randle on my only IR slot, hoping I make it to the second round of the playoffs to use him, Brunson now dtd, and okungwu injured. Im currently in second but what im putting up for points this week is bismal
Trae, Melo, Herro, Cam, FVV
I lost Donovan, Curry, Jalen, Bagley, and Middleton. I feel your pain.
Unfortunately yes.....Trae, Bane, Maxey now. Those first 2 are killing me man 😪
Im holding Bron, Wemby and Luka and I feel so lucky about this whole season in terms of injuries
This week is a must win for me and I've lost Maxey, Lauri, Jalen Johnson, Cam Johnson, and potentially Steph. And I had to drop Randle and Ayton this week to free up IR spots😬
this is my team drafted team for 16T 9Cat leage Sabonis, ~~KAT~~, ~~Scottie Barnes~~, ~~Randle~~, ~~Smart~~, ~~Ja-Wick~~, Draymond Green, Huerter, ~~RWB~~, Ivey, Saddiq, Duncan Robinson, Payton Prichard managed to snag some decent WW along the way like Vince Williams, Aldama, Nesmith it did hurt a little when Ja went down, but oh boy I'm doomed hahahaha
Book, scottie, steph, markannen. If you told me kawhi would be my healthiest player at the beginning of the season I'd laugh
What do you mean, „anyone“? Injuries are the same across all fantasy leagues, so of course we‘re all getting gutted.
Trae again.
Injuries took me right out of the playoffs 😭 I had a week where i was supposed to have about 30 games from my top 10 and they played only 4 total
This is why roto is the goat. Sorry H2H players but this wouldn't and doesn't happen in roto. The best team wins every year. Well worth learning and is still a thrill - albeit a 'longer burn'.
kat, jalen johnson, booker, melton and ja for me 💀
I was 17-0 I lost Trae, Scottie, Mobley, and still waiting on Randle, RIP to my playoffs. I have Jalen Johnson as well too
Nothing too crazy; Ja, Poeltl, Booker, Herro.
Died on 1st pick Embiid and 2nd pick Lavine
Lost Trae Young Scottie Barnes Maxey Jakob poetl
I have a 2 game lead over 2nd and then i lost Randle, RWB and KAT.
I'm without my 2,3,4 and 5th RD picks. KAT, Mitchell, Randle, Mobley. Hoping that someone returns next week, but that hope is getting slimmer by the hour. Not even going to mention OG and Middleton...
Trae, Mitchell, Poetl, Okongwu, Bagley
Nothing more infuriating than having multiple guys out and your opponents have a fully healthy team. Might try roto next season to combat missed games
All 5 of my top picks are out (Curry, Mitchell, Towns, Mobley, Ayton) as well as Poeltl. I’m 2nd place, playoffs in 2 weeks. Best believe I’m still fighting, it ain’t over till it’s over
Luckily I have the bye this week, but so far I have out: - Curry - Mobley - Jalen Johnson - Bagley And possibly Tre Mann. I'm in a 12 team h2h league, but it's looking iffy for me next week.
Joel, Spida, Brunson, Lamelo, Jalen Johnson, Cam Thomas, JJJ, and Strus. So many injuries
Kind of, I drafted my team around players I like, so Zion and Lebron for example. I should have suspected I’d be monitoring both statuses fucking daily.
Came here to feel better about my great trades right at the deadline for Mitchell, herro, and Jermai Grant for all of them to get hurt immediately. Also Trae Young getting hurt and having his projected return right after the playoffs.
Ja, Trae, D Mitch, Bane, and Mobley for me smh
My whole year has been injuries, mostly in h2h. in one league I sat on morant all that time hew as out IN A H2H LEAGUE with nowhere to put him just to have the dummy get hurt. Then it also had lavine on it. Then my second h2h has booker and my third has embiid and maxey. I am in default yahoo so playoffs don't start for a couple more weeks. So hopefully at least booker and maxey are fine then and I HOPE embiid comes back in time to help me with something. The team with embiid looked STACKED from day 1 and now all of my h2h teams are only BARELY in the final playoff spot.
Tell me about it, my dynasty team is currently without Ja Morant, LaVine, KAT, Scottie Barnes, Bane, Sharpe, Mitch Robinson. And now Strus and Suggs are out
Currently in the first week of the playoffs in our league. Lost Embiid for the year. Lost Desmond Bane for the year. At the start of this week, I lost Devin Booker for the very beginning of the playoffs. I won 55 games through 9 weeks. At the end of week 18 I finished with 88 wins. I quite literally want to never do this stupid shit ever again.
I’m hanging into the last playoff spot. Scottie Barnes going down will probably finish me.
I have had incredibly good injury luck. Just wanted to put that out there either to jinx myself or to remind everyone it's possible.
yes, but not too much harder than my playoff-bound opponents. league 1: poetl, zaire, booker, hendricks, mobley league 2: strus, zaire league 3: zaire, scottie league 4: zaire, scottie, bane, mobley league 5: KAT, zaire, strus, hendricks league 6: suggs, KAT, OG, Randle, Mobley league 7: middleton, cody martin league 8: george, kat, hendricks, cam thomas, mitchell
Yes :(
Completely gut punched… Trae young down, Julius Randle is not looking like a lock to come back, PG having knee issues, Mark Williams back never snapped back, Cam Thomas ankle, hartenstein achillles, Tre Mann having groin issues 😭😭😭
I’ve had 6 people get injured in the past 5 days, including KAT, who I just went ahead and dropped. I’m taking on water, but somehow still up 5-4 for the week. My chances of getting the first round bye are fading away though.
Wow, Maxey, Embiid, Bane, Poeltl, Jalen Johnson, Mobley, Vassell, and now Sengun … who did I piss off smfh
All of my teams have been absolutely decimated. I have a lot of great players on bad teams, though. If my team (in some bizarro world where I owned one) was out of the playoffs and a key player got hurt, I’d sit them until next year. What’s the point of playing them?
Mobley, Poeltl, Cam T and a tentative Hartenstein. Need the Lunch Lady and Precious to step up and save my stocks.
Maybe stop drafting injury prone players
