Summing up the trade deadline action

Posted by Nels on February 24th, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Trades

Brendan does an excellent job of summing up the trade action that went down this week
I could probably do that well if I had 8 hours a day and was a freelance writer for About.com. But since I also have to try to figure out what this guy is talking about, I’m just going [...]

Normally I wouldn't care about Nachbar

Posted by Nels on February 23rd, 2006 filed in Denver Nuggets, Fantasy Basketball, NBA Basketball, Oklahoma City Thunder, Trades

But this was too good to pass up…
It’s too bad no big names were moved. Earl Watson doesn’t count if you ask me, and neither does Boston Snackbar. So, back to basketball…I hope.
That is classic.
And, yeah, does anyone really want me to waste their time reporting on the stuff that’s going on? All you [...]

Give The Knicks The Rock

Posted by Nels on February 22nd, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball, NBA Basketball, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Trades

So pretty much the Knicks are just trying to get a ton of people who all need the ball in their hands to be effective? (Credit to TJ at Orlando Magic Fan, and Henry Abbott at True Hoop)
I think, despite the talent gap, that Orlando got the best of this trade. If they can [...]

Is this the 1-on-1 game that Yay Sports so desperately wanted?

Posted by Nels on February 21st, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Miami Heat, Random Stuff

It appears that Shaq is beating Chris Webber at 1-on-1 on his home floor (so this must have been a few All-Star games ago).

Jordan XXI Ad

Posted by Nels on February 17th, 2006 filed in NBA Basketball, Random Stuff

It is a pretty good ad. Don’t have much to say about the shoes. I’ve never been much of a shoe person. The ones that came out in 5th grade were really the only ones I liked, and I don’t even know whan roman numeral that was.
