NBA playoffs, this game is killing me

I managed to recover a bit to take a 6-5 edge last night.


Of course, that was before I opened the box scores to see this:

Tyson Chandler – left game with toe injury
Tracy McGrady – left game with back spasms
Delonte West – left game with sprained ankle
Al Jefferson – DNP (benched him due to early reports about his knee)

I just managed to catch the news about Josh Childress being shut down on Tuesday in time to scoop up Jason Hart, who was to be my Bibby fill-in in case he quits once the Kings are out of it.

Nothing goes down sweeter than possibly losing a fifth of your squad two days into the semifinals.

Well, with the Celtics needing to tank anyway, I cut West and grabbed Charlotte F Walter Hermann, who came out of the bowels of the Bobcats to take Rookie honors last week.

My only saving grace is that my opponent managed to leave three guys on the bench for whatever reason. And he's got two hurt Bucks: Mo Williams and Redd

There is a good chance that West and Jefferson may be done. And Chandler may not be far behind especially if the Hornets drop to three games back in the standings.

Good thing I have 24 moves left under the cap, because I may be going day-to-day on the waiver wire pretty soon.

Gulp.
