Cavs: the Blog: the Fantasy League is back! As a kickoff to the 2015 season, we held our second annual draft for the reader/writer fantasy basketball league with myself, David, Cory, Ben, EvilGenius, the Commish (Robert Attenweiler), and readers Andrew, Gregg, Ned, and James. We even livepodded the festivities with David, EG, Robert, and myself providing running commentary on fantasy sports theory, the Cavs, the NBA season ahead, and some of our predictions. The draft results are available here. As a caveat, everyone had to take a Cavalier in the first round, which led to an interesting draft.
You can listen above, on Soundcloud, or on iTunes. Go Cavs!

My season could be very ugly until Kyrie comes back. If he comes back strong and Gobert doesn’t come down with a fracture in his foot (obligatory, it seems, for any player over 7 feet tall), then I like my squad… even if I did end up with a loser like Deron Williams.
But, at least, all of my guys aren’t on the IR to start the year. *cough* Mallory *cough*
posted a blog yesterday(from the kingjamesgospel article —about possibly picking up pery jones ) would enjoy ( as I always do ) my fellow ctb brothers comments /opinions ( this must be a nomad imposture where the f— are the caps ?—SORRY GUYS IT’S ME !!!
For me, its mire the elipses, parentheticals, slashes, and em-dashes that define a nomad post. The caps are incidental
PB and Delly is a great hoops fantasy team name!
Thanks!
Was going for “Peanut Butter Delly Time” but wasn’t within ESPN character limits ha.
Don’t you live in LA, EG? How did you get a cold? Grab a cup of tea, get ready for tomorrow!!!
Yeah, it’s weird… I almost never get sick. Drinking tea out of my Cavs mug as I type this…
Feeling good about my picks but Whiteside is already giving me concern…
Yep. My last sentient pick before slumber necessitated auto-selection was the Greek Freak. I was indeed horrified to learn that MCW, Jarrett Jack, and Jared Sullinger made my squad. Clearly the computer thought I was having a one-on-one tourney. It kind of makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that you all know those dudes drive me crazy. And yes, Nate, had I been conscious Myles Turner would have been mine! Team the Deutsch(as is German) i-est(as in most). Denglish at its finest. I like my starting five a lot. But when can we start to edit the slots? I… Read more »
Ironically, Ben, Myles wound up being an auto-pick for me when I ran out of time trying to find Meyers Leonard…
“EVIL ” IS EARLY ODDS ON FAVORITE TO REPEAT ( MONEY IS ON HIM ) SORRY GUYS —–IS IT TUES YET / CAN’T GET HERE QUICK ENOUGH —QUITE THE CONTRAST FROM LAST YEARS OPENER WITH THE “CIRCUS / PARTY ” ATMOSHERE ” HOPEFULLY WITHOUT AL THE OUTSIDE HOOPLA THIS –GUYS WIL BE MORE FOCUSED / LESS DISTRACTIONS —GO CAVS —-LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER GREAT YEAR WITH MY ” CTB BROTHERS “—ALL IN !!
I hope I don’t cost you money, NOMAD… Ninth was a tough spot to draft from, as I always seemed to be one pick away from the guys I really wanted. Will do my best to defend the title though… even if I’m forced to do it with a Splash Brother…
Good luck everyone!
