Will start dissin' out content once the fantasy game sign-up opens.<br /><br />Although I'm fearing there might not be one coz I am not seeing the same sets of site activity at nba.com that I normally see prior to the playoffs with regards to DTTF. Let's hope we still get one. If not, we'll look for another playoffs fantasy game ;)Taong Gagambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172021582832968662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-1863300221443554882016-04-04T16:11:45.566-07:002016-04-04T16:11:45.566-07:00So no posts yet loool , drive to the final is just...So no posts yet loool , drive to the final is just about here Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-80713739789259306672016-04-04T15:52:24.902-07:002016-04-04T15:52:24.902-07:00So no posts yet loool , drive to the final is just...So no posts yet loool , drive to the final is just about here Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-81198049136676185102015-07-30T12:22:05.578-07:002015-07-30T12:22:05.578-07:00Craziness.

That is nebulous because the prize period was officially over 6/1 for the third round, and practically a week earlier due to the short rounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-35065668399461438792015-06-19T15:19:16.724-07:002015-06-19T15:19:16.724-07:00unfortunately you wouldn't if you lost out. if...unfortunately you wouldn't if you lost out. if they announce the grand winner and you have not received any email, then maybe you've lost.Taong Gagambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172021582832968662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-65394509314393515782015-06-19T15:14:17.978-07:002015-06-19T15:14:17.978-07:00thanks Damian! most had a down dttf game this year...thanks Damian! most had a down dttf game this year, it's just weird. spurs clippers rockets screwing up the expectations, and a lot of first-timers in the finals.<br /><br />thanks again, and see you next year!Taong Gagambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172021582832968662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-89865896253614175452015-06-19T15:09:53.461-07:002015-06-19T15:09:53.461-07:00there hasn't been any winners list ever since ...there hasn't been any winners list ever since dttf started years ago (except the one grand prize winner).<br /><br />rules specify winners will be contacted by email. make sure you check your spam folder or if you registered your email address correctly. if everythings fine, just have wait. not sure how long the process takes.Taong Gagambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172021582832968662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-5189985911286418832015-06-19T12:06:16.362-07:002015-06-19T12:06:16.362-07:00I wanted to see if anyone here knew how to get the...I wanted to see if anyone here knew how to get the winners list. I know it was in the rules, but now everything at the /drive directory has been washed with a "check back soon" message, which I think will remain until April 2016.<br />The reason I ask is because we were expecting a contact regarding being the third round winner, but none has come at this time. I wanted to find out who was awarded this prize, since a check of the entire leaderboard for weeks 5 and 6 shows one person at 336 and one at 333 for the week, while my mom's lineup garnered 337. A person not on the leaderboard could have scored only 337, as the weeks 50th scores were 163 and 174 respectively.<br />Any advice about winners is appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-70348098312970229612015-06-19T11:58:18.741-07:002015-06-19T11:58:18.741-07:001-N-Done was literally that, 1 (Year) and done.

This rule excludes a pick in which the player played less than 5 minutes on the court (rule 5b may apply instead). <br />2a. No more than three players that have their worst performance of the playoffs (if their team loses in the 1st or 2nd round) or worst performance during their respective final 2 rounds of the playoffs (if they get to at least the conference finals), excluding players that get 20+ PAR on their worst day.<br />2b. No more than one player getting <20 PAR for me AND playing 2 rounds after the round I picked them in.<br />3a. No more than two players get a score 5 PAR or more worse than their 2nd worst game, provided they played at least 16 minutes when I pick them.<br />3b. No more than one player gets a score 10 PAR or more worse than their 2nd worst game, provided they played at least 16 minutes when I pick them.<br />3c. No player is to have a performance 20 PAR or more lower than their 2nd worst game, provided they played at least 16 minutes when I pick them.<br />4. No player who plays in at least 2 rounds gets <50% of their 2nd worst game.<br />5a. No more than two players getting getting injured (without returning) or ejected in the 1st half of the game I picked them, regardless of PAR.<br />5b. No more than one player getting injured (without returning) or ejected in the 1st quarter of the game I picked them, regardless of PAR.<br />This may sound strict as some of this didn't happen to me but after what happened, I have to crack down on all forms of bad luck I know of even if I did not experience it.<br />I ended up with 1174 points, 220 behind the winner with a 79 percentile. I'd say the rank but they already removed everything which is strange. I can't wait for next year, (Ah 10 months 300 days, what are we gonna do? This is the spring version of summer camp only we don't see each other in person, 2 months 8/9 weeks of camp/game then 10 months 43/44 weeks of offseason!) I LOVE this game despite what I said after "the zero." And lastly, congratulations to the Golden State Warriors on winning their first championship in 40 years, over 14 years before I was born! <br /> Have a good year everyone!

There's not much joy seeing the same 1x multiplier each round. I don't think 1-N-Done is ever coming back for ESPN just like fantasy basketball salary game.<br /><br />I will be playing fantasy football on ESPN(college challenge and gridiron challenge).

Smith 13, #5/6, 25, #8/10, 39 - I had to hear Kyrie Irving wouldn't be at his best in G1.... 36 and out. As I said in my individual recap that was a loss of 23 for me.<br />LeBron James 66, #1/6, 66, #2/10, 68 - Ah the round that could have been, certainly had some good results especially this masterpiece but a 2 part mistake lead to my demise and a sub 80 percentile.<br />Stephen Curry 39, T#2/6, 48, T#6/11, 52 - Not too shabby given he only beat this score once in the Finals (granted 1 more than I wanted) and Klay Thomson was often times invisible in the Finals.<br />Draymond Green 30, T#2/6, 37, T#5/11, 40 - Maybe Klay Thomson was the wrong Big 3 to use in the Western Conference Finals afterall assuming I use him in 1 of the 1st 3 games in the Finals, not the last 3.<br />Timofey Mozgov 0, #6/6, 39, #10/10, 39 - With the season I've been having I guess we can check off getting a ZERO in my DTTFs bucket list! Special rules coming for the future in particularly from this one.<br />Tristan Thompson 28, #2/6, 29, #2/10, 29 - Not a bad showing individually but switch him with Mozgov and I would have gotten 32 more PAR, yes this was WRONG ORDER #6 compared to 2 correct orders (Jeff Teague, Al Hortford - hard to believe a single digit pick is included in a right order but it was +14 over the reverse and Klay Thompson - Harrison Barnes which was +2). Something even better than reversing that order would have been playing the Finals MVP, yes I have that shame to my name. Tristan Thomson G5 / Andre Iguodala G6 would have meant +36 PAR, Andre Iguodala G5 / Tristan Thomson G6 would have given me +29, Andre Iguodala G5 / Timofey Mozgov G6 (which I never would have done after witnessing a 0, that of course means it's a good play) would mean +32.<br />Now if the Irving trick had not happened, I would have benefited in every which way including avoiding the Zero! <br />Comparing who I would have picked in G5 (if I still don't take AI) compared to what I got when I did pick em I get a net PAR of -1 or BETTER in all scenarios. JR Smith +10, LeBron James -1, Stephen Curry +9, Draymond Green 0 and Tristan Thomson +1. So worst case +22 PAR for the Finals ranging to +59 if I take Tristan Thomson in G5 and Andre Iguodala in G6 WOW!<br />I know this is a lot but there is disappointing days and then there are lots of disappointing and painful days.<br />Bad luck happens sometimes, but this much?! no no<br />aceee06https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961354981984051654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794801666266415731.post-15828240516690352102015-06-18T00:07:35.003-07:002015-06-18T00:07:35.003-07:00Best Picks:
