Misc Update!

Before all my loyal viewers start complaining about a lack of posts (you know I get at least 50 emails a week from you all!), fine, I'll get a couple updates up (though I wish there was a way to keep this at the top of the page.....Though it may stay there depending on how long my basketball hiatus is after the result of the 2012 finals......).

Anyway....I will be getting a post up soon, and I have one other question:

Anybody with any ideas on how to rate players defensively would you please stand up, and/or shoot me an email ( math2@live.com ).....Anybody interested in a basketball rating project, or any programmers (in Python......aka the programing middle of nowhere) would be appreciated.......That's right, an announcement that follows will be BIG (god I hate those commercials....Except the Celtics one.)

Grizzlies Game Results: Part 4 (2008 vs. 2010)

It's been a long time been a long time been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time! As you may have read, my computer woes seem unsolvable, so we are going to be posting in a sub par format...Sorry....I blame the computer. One idea I'm also looking to do is to expand this blog so it includes some other of my interests, with little special articles now and then, on stuff like music, or football or whatever. Anyone (is there anybody out there? Only I can quote Pink Floyd and Zeppelin in the same paragraph...) like that idea? Anyway....On to the matchup! (One plus...these will be coming out faster without me having to format them.).

(5) 2010 Memphis Grizzlies (40-42) vs. (12) 2008 Memphis Grizzlies (22-60)

2010 easily wins….08 is all deformed from the Gasol trade….

Well, It's Been a While....

And a lot has happened in that while....To begin:

I had finally gotten the boxes to post...Of course, two days or so after, I manage to contract a computer virus. So I ended up getting a new laptop, and I transfered my files over (carefully....so far my new computer is good). Of course, when I try to get the Word on the computer so I can actually USE the documents, the site is down for around a week. During that week I realize that this computer does NOT have spreadsheet....I haven't really messed around with Excel yet...We can hope though...

Anyway though, I should be able to get SOMETHING up soon....Thanks to my avid followers for sticking with me (all zero of you)...

Site Update......Again

Happy Halloween! Games are coming tomorrow...Most likely, unless Blogger decides not to cooperate. One more detail: After we (slosh) move through round 1, the brackets will be reseeded, and an actual bracket will be followed...Any questions, or concerns....This is the last day to voice them!

November 1st Update: Of course, Blogger decides not to cooperate. Or actually I'd blame Word. Or Excel. The issue is with the box scores...I don't want to eliminate them to get the tourney running...I feel that that is the most vital part of the post...It serves as proof. No one is going to be able to make a belevable box score in under 30 minutes. And I don't want to waste time doing that. (The only way I could rig it was if I just repeat the game...But I don't care enough about the 1st round outcome to waste time doing that...).

Site/Status Update/Details for Games!!!!!!!!!

Almost there....Just a few days until we get some real action here...Here's some info you should know:

There WILL be a limit on how many games a player can miss before being ineligible for being on a team...That number in 50 for 82 game years. That's 1968 to present (except 1999...they have a limit of 30 games...). In 1967, the limit is 49 (only 81 games were played...). From 1962-1966, it's also 49 (80 games played...). In 1961, the number is 48. It's 46 in 1960, and from 1953 to 1959, the magic number is 44. And finally, in 1952, it is 40.

One last thing: We'll be going in reverse order of all time record. So that means Memphis is first!

Lets get it going!

Site/Status Update

Hello, everyone (anyone?)...hope you've been enjoying this. I have another post all ready to go....but two (real) posts in one day in too much...

I've been enjoying this...hopefully there will be some readers soon. I think we're progressing well...

I'm sure you're wondering when the actual games start. I'm planning on opening the first round November 1st (when the season is supposed to start...or was...) or when I am done with the previews, whichever is first.... I will continue writing them after the tourney starts...but I bet I'll be a ways into by then.

Also: It's that time of year again....school starts up in like 4 days. Which means I get less time to write. Don't worry though, I write whenever I can.....Game results will be posted under the label (guess what it is..) game results....

Thanks....

Site Update

Sorry about the lack of posts.....I was out on vacation and haven't had much opportunity to write. A post will be coming soon.

What are your guys opinions on these posts? Are they taking to long to come? Should I just post the matchups, and then we'll get to the matchups? Chime in...
