Posted by Nels on August 31st, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Free Agency, San Antonio Spurs

And it only took about 5 hours from the time I saw it on NBA.com to get to the Blogosphere. The aptly-named NBA Source gets the square.
First, the Meeting Minutes from last time:
Manu played 30/game. Bowen played 32. That leaves 34 for Barry and Finley to split. Barry had (emphasis on [...]

Don’t Look Back in Anger

Posted by Nels on August 31st, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Draft Guide 2005, Random Stuff

Another wonderful coincidence. A recent Daily Inspiration came to remind me of another article I’d been meaning to write. It’s kind of a short one, but this advice is good for life, as well as any fantasy sports in which one chooses to participate:

“Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, [...]

NBA Birthdays

Travis Outlaw

Posted by Nels on August 24th, 2005 filed in Fantasy Draft Guide 2005, Portland Trail Blazers, Sleepers

Make all the jokes you want about the JailBlazers (but keep in mind that they’re getting pretty old) … but don’t let Travis Outlaw’s name fool you. And don’t mistake him for the other Outlaw of the League (Bo). Travis should be a prime GiveMeTheRockian Candidate this year. His season stats are [...]

Finley to the Heat?

Posted by Nels on August 22nd, 2005 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Free Agency, Miami Heat, NBA Basketball
