Final stand

Without AK-47 or Chandler, I finally gave up the lead in blocks and D boards. Now, going into the final day, I need to win back D Boards, Blocks or 3s to make the finals. And if I do, I'm dead in the water.I managed a net -13 in D boards, -9 in 3s and -12 in blocks yesterday. Not good. So I dropped Gadzuric, Chandler, AK-47, and Jason Hart for Shelden Williams, Justin Williams, Luther Head, and Tyrus Thomas (who's iffy with the flu). If you're playing any of these guys, your team is trouble, too. The opponent has LBJ, Rafer Alston, Ben Gordon and Tayshaun Prince going today, so I'm loading up on cheap boards and blocks, then if by a miracle T-Mac and/or Yao play (I'll give that a .5% chance), I can take boards and/or blocks hopefully without surrendering TOs, or take both and give up TOs.

Any way you slice it, this has been a miserable finish to a fairly impressive managerial effort on my part. Considering injuries on a similarly massive scale completely derailed my baseball team last season, I'm getting pretty sick of this. Now, as a poker player, I understand that no one wants to hear a bad beat story. Tough.
