I'm 9-8 now. I lost a few games after Antoine Walker got injured for a couple weeks, he should be back in one or two more. My bench has been much better, however, since adding Ricky Davis and Mike James. I also made a move for Jared Jeffries to get a long, athletic defensive player.
C - Marcus Camby / Travis Knight / Jeff Hood (7'0" G-League call-up)
PF - Antoine Walker / Dennis Rodman
SF - Paul Pierce / Walter McCarty / Jared Jeffries / Jumaine Jones
SG - Jiri Welsch / Ricky Davis
PG - Kenny Anderson / Dana Barros / Mike James
Almost at the All-Star break and trade deadline. Paul Pierce is an All-Star starter averaging 26 ppg. Antoine Walker didn't make All-Star but he is having a nice season for me averaging 18 / 6 / 4. Marcus Camby is averaging a double-double, as well.
Team Shaquille (All-Star starters) - Shaq, Kobe, KG, Pierce, Francis
Team Tracy (All-Star starters) - T-Mac, Duncan, Iverson, Hill, Mourning
2 or 3 more games until All-Star weekend. Can't wait to see who is in the 3PT contest and whatnot.

MyLeague starting with 2002-03 rosters has been so much fun! Almost finished season 1.
I ended up finishing 18-11 in a tie with Detroit for 3rd in the East.
MVP - Tim Duncan
Rookie of the Year - Jay Williams
6th Man of the Year - Manu Ginobili
Defensive Player of the Year - Kevin Garnett
(Alonzo Mourning got robbed of Defensive Player of the Year! He lead the league in rebounding with 15 RPG and shot blocking with 4 BPG (second place was like 2.6) on the best team in the East. But I didn't edit any award winners because I have read about it causing glitches.)
As the 4th seed, I beat Michael Jordan's Wizards 4-1 in the first round. Jordan and Stackhouse dominated Game 1 to steal it, but I won 4 straight after that wake up call.
Pierce averaged 30 in the first round, while Marcus Camby had some huge games as well, averaging 12 and 12. Kenny Anderson had 23 points and 9 assists in the close out game.
I am currently up 3-1 in my second round series against Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Caron Butler and the number one seeded Miami Heat. Every game in this series has been tight except Game 2, including an awesome comeback win for me in Game 3, 95-94!
Zo and Dan Majerle have been killing me, but I've kept Hardaway under control for most of the series. Mike James defense off the bench has been big for me.
It's looking like as long as I can finish off Miami, I'll have the Pacers inevitably waiting for me in the Eastern Conference Finals. They've had Jermaine O'Neal injured all playoffs so far, but he is only listed as day-to-day now and they are up 3-2 over the Knicks, with Jermaine likely back next game.
Playing Reggie, Jermaine, Artest, etc. will be tough but the nostalgia will be awesome considering the Celtics and Pacers had a lot of playoff battles back in this early-to-mid 2000s time period.
Out west, the Kings are up 3-2 over the Lakers while Portland is up 3-2 on the Timberwolves in the second round. Minnesota shockingly upset San Antonio (even with David Robinson!) in Game 7 of the first round with KG averaging something like 22/18/8 in the playoffs so far.
This playoff run is very fun but I am also getting excited for the 2003 draft (I filled out the class so I now have basically the top 41 players from the 03 draft).
