League, Barons investigate possible failed substance test

After the Barons' convincing 106-70 win tonight sources close to the league have said they are investigating a possible failed banned steroid test for reserve F Cedric Ceballos.

Ceballos uncharacteristically exploded for 22 pts on 9-11 shooting in their win, playing a key component in the blowout. Not only had tallied that much in his last four games combined, but an unnamed teammate only going my the name of "Big Snacks" mentioned he was "hyperaggro" in the locker room at halftime, reportedly "devouring a whole chicken dinner like he'd never seen food before". Interestingly enough, 16 of Ceballos' points were scored in the first half.

"We're currently investigating all possible avenues," said site founder Kaz. "After all when someone like Cedric Ceballos goes off like that, it has to ring a few alarms somewhere".

So I kinda roughed in a team, as would be if it happened right now based on peoples responses. Just wanted to get discussion going as to who is in and out and what peoples roles would be. Who you see on the team, who you would drop.

possible line-up

Forwards + strengths
4)D. Nowitzki- 663 - Branduil + rebounding
5)A. Mason- 662 - Pheeniks + speed
6)M. Eaton- 655 - Malleymal + rebounding
12)J. James- 615 - Frankman + rebounding
15)J. Worthy- 600 - viakado + defense

Guards + strengths
2)J. Shuttlesworth- 665 - Kung Foo Kid + shooting
7)J. Starks- 650 - DCX + 3 point shooting
8)N. Gallagher- 649 Meier + 3 point shooting
9)R. Foye- 640 - Rodeo Clown + shooting
NEED PASSING GUARD HERE


Left overs from the initial top point list
Forward
10)C. Booth- 628 DCX (2nd player) + Defense

Guards
1)P. Maravich- 680 OpinionatedCyborg + shooting
13)M. Ellis- 605 methodman + passing
13)M. Price- 605 OpinionatedCyborg + passing

Has anyone know if cyborg would be in? I think Mark Price would be a good fit.

 

[Branduil]

Looks like we're lacking in point guards.

 

[DCX]

Price and Felton are great guards for 2.0 with Price leading the team with 8.7 and Felton 8.1

DCX

 

[AirBrian]

I would be down for one more all-star teamed season. He's a good scoring forward.

But that's it for Popeye. I swear! :lol

 

[ph33nix]

I'd be willing to hit up 100 free throws for that "veteran team" chemistry...stats no longer matter for me!

 

[Branduil]

ACEN is beating a college B team by 20.

Dirk with 10 points and 31 rebounds lol.

 

[Malleymal]

crazy game brand!

worthy with 10 steals as well....

that line up of all stars is crazy.

lastly would everyone have premium?

 

[Herpes Reasons]

worthy with 10 steals. from most efficient to best defender in gaf.
and another thing, worthy cracks the top 50 in steals in court rivals ranking!
currently at 41

 

[Branduil]

You should look at Worthy's ranking in quality steals...

With that last game, Dirk is now the #1 quality rebounder in College D.

wow, good looking out! #11 in courtrivals, bitches!

 

[Malleymal]

i cant wait for all star season..

 

[Meier]

The starters for Team NeoGAF 2.0 were able to exploit the defense of the starters for SGW today due to their adept long range shooters. The defense of the starters for SGW had to respect the ability of the starters for Team NeoGAF 2.0 to shoot the ball far away from the basket.

Our starters (me) were 0-3 from 3 pt range. :lol

 

[Branduil]

It seems like whenever ACEN wins the other two GAF teams lose, and vice-versa.

 

[The Frankman]

I blame it on Ceballos not taking the roids anymore. He followed up his 22 points explosion with a scintillating 4 point, 0-5 FG performance.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

Our starters (me) were 0-3 from 3 pt range. :lol

Maybe they were talking about Sasha's midrange game.

 

[The Frankman]

All Barons players check the new posts on our forums, after some revelations we need drastic work on our sliders and leveling philosophy.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

might as well tell the others here as well considering we're having an all-star team and farm team next season.

 

[Branduil]

Based on our needs, this is what is looking like the best all-star team to me at the current time:

NeoGAF AllStars:

2 Rebounders
1)D. Nowitzki
2)M. Eaton

2 "Assist" guys
1)M. Price
2)M. Ellis

3 Scorers
1)J. Shuttlesworth
2)R. Foye
3)J. Starks

3 Role-players
1)A. Mason(Speed)
2)J. James(Blocking)
3)J. Worthy(defense)

The second team wouldn't be bad either:

2 Rebounders
1)R. Fils-Aime
2)R. Tarpley

2 "Assist" guys
1)S. Parker
2)R. Felton

6 others
1)P. Maravich
2)S. Jackson
3)N. Gallagher
4)C. Booth
5)P. Jones
6)P. Parker

 

[Malleymal]

thats the team we need to go with... barons with another loss tonight..

also thinking about changing my name

 

[The Frankman]

I'm not understanding how we are losing by double digits. This is nuts.

 

[Meier]

Barons vs 2.0 re-match tomorrow night. Should be interesting.

 

[Branduil]

ACEN beat a College B team in a close one.

We play another College B team tomorrow.

 

[aznpxdd]

Damn, a couple days away from this thread and you guys already have a grand plan for next season?!

 

[ph33nix]

yes. and anthony mason is going to be the WILDCARD

 

[DCX]

I say we all change our name to famous Knick player of old We have three, lets add more

DCX

 

[Malleymal]

I was think about going with the original dream team..

I really was just gonna change it to Karl Malone. but I could be eddie lee wilkins

 

[ph33nix]

i vote for the redeem team. dream team had no heat players

 

[Meier]

Holy shit, I missed the Barons/2.0 game.. what an ending! :O 10 steals for Booth, WOW!

Oh man, ACEN lost on some bullshit. A 3-pt play and then a missed shot..that stings.

 

[DCX]

I've been training that boy hard son! Team Redeem in full effect! :lol :lol

DCX

 

[Meier]

Damn, it was 97-89 and we let them come back like that? Oh well, I'll take the W!

 

[Malleymal]

i am surprised that we kept it that close... I just saw the box... wow... i am happy with the performance... should be good in the playoffs... if any of us make it, lol

Hah, yeah that guy has 9 of the 10 dudes on his team. He's like SUPER into it... tracks everything. Kind of sad really because his team consistently sucks.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

The Machine with the game winning shot. Awesome.

holy shit! Does training Free Throws actually increase the amount of FT attempts you get? Given those numbers it must.. haha. Isn't Dunking supposed to help with that? It clearly doesn't, we have a forward just under 180 dunking and he doesn't shoot anywhere near that number of free throws.

 

[Branduil]

I trained free throws the last few days. In the last game I shot like 6 free throws but missed 5 of them. :lol Stupid sim.

Dirk now has more training points than any other GAF player.

 

[The Frankman]

Dunking gives you closer shots. Attacking the basket increases the chances of you taking FTs.

 

[Branduil]

LOL

Stephen Jackson 3pt shot: missed
Dirk Nowitzki Off Rebound (6 REB)
Stephen Jackson 3pt shot: missed
