I fell victim to the dreaded "questionable" last night: with a packed lineup and running late to update my rosters, I had to make a split-second decision on Tyreke, and missed out on those numbers for three of my five squads.

OuchI'd like to take a moment to thank Yahoo for voiding all my roster pre-sets because I changed one player. Nothing beats seeing 60 some points sitting on your effing bench.![]()
Figures that Paul George would be putting up MVP numbers when the rest of my team is stank. At this point, I feel like I have no choice but to keep him, and I fully expect him to turn back into a pumpkin next year.
Well, after 15 years of playing in the "official" KingsFans league, I was poised to finally grab the championship. A long lull in the winter where I missed setting my weekly lineup and checking the waiver wire didn't seem like it was going to cause any problems as I easily made it into the playoffs as the 2 seed and beat semi-final opponent JSin handily.
While on vacation I checked the latest tallies for the finals against catch22 with only a couple days left in the NBA season. I was up 7-2, and had significant leads in 4 categories (compared to 1 for my opponent). The next day it was 6-2-1, but again, catch22 would have to pass or stay ahead of me in all 4 categories that were close on the last day of the season.
He didn't quite do it. He nabbed only 3 of those, but he tied the fourth, which left us tied 4-4-1 at the end of the final matchup.
Tiebreaker was head-to-head tallies in the fantasy regular season, in which we were tied at 9-9 going into our third matchup. Of course, that last matchup happened during my winter downtime and I had been beaten handily.
catch22 gets 1st place. I get another near miss.
I don't want to go over every little thing that could have gone differently, but let's just say a if a butterfly had just flapped its wings in Philadelphia maybe I don't score 24 points from a group that averages over 90, or if perhaps a flea had just farted in Oklahoma City I could have gotten one fewer turnover from a guy gunning for 20 rebounds/20 assists.

I agonized and finally decided not to keep Bogdan Bogdanovic. This pretty much guarantees he'll have an all-star season next year, especially if I don't buckle and redraft him.
My attention span diminishes when roster adjustments are weekly rather than daily. Regardless of the sport. That seems to be the case with me. I do a lot more churning and research in leagues with daily roster change capabilities. That said, still wounded from Zion and Griffen injuries.
That's why I quit the KingsFans league after one year. As much as I enjoy the challenge of a twenty-team league (because, honestly, competing in a league where it actually matters whether you play Francisco Garcia or not, I'm here for that), I don't have the temperament for a weekly.My attention span diminishes when roster adjustments are weekly rather than daily.
