Screw You, Maximum Games


As most of you already know, I am a NBA fanatic. With this addiction comes an obsessive fantasy basketball habit that I just can’t kick. This year I am playing the yahoo sports version. I have played in this league before as well as a few others. Unlike the past few years, this time around I actually have a kick-ass team. I am also the only female manager in my league, which consists of 12 teams. I was in first place for the first few months and quite pleased with myself. Then I remembered the ole “Maximum Games” rule and had to make a more tactical play for the top.
For those of you that haven’t had to deal with this ridiculous rule, let me explain.
Each spot on your roster (not each player) allows for a maximum number of games played. Once you exceed the maximum, you will no longer accumulate stats for the position. Of course since this is basketball there are a shite load of games played and the "allowed" number for each position is way off.

Now I am forced to sit people out by the masses in order to be able to compete at the end of the season. I try and make my decisions strategically, examining the match ups and if the player is playing a home or an away game. Even with meticulous planning, I always end up benching some fairly decent player on the night that he has the game of his life.

Right now I have slipped to third place and I still have a bad ratio of maximum games to actual games. It’s hard to justify ever benching Kobe unless maybe he is playing the Heat (painful Christmas performance Kobes). Anyway it’s a long season and I need to bench more guys and just ride it out to the bitter end.

I just wanted to say once again cause it gives me a little bit of fleeting pleasure, SCREW YOU MAXIMUM GAMES!
