Team Profiles – Coming soon!

Posted by Nels on June 30th, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Draft Guide 2006

Since Free Agent Open Season begins tomorrow, PMad and I are going to wait a little while in case there’s any crazy dealings like those we saw Draft Night before we dive into our summer-long coverage of the NBA from a Fantasy Basketball perspective. It’s also a good excuse to take the long holiday [...]

NBA Draft: Post-Mortem

Posted by Patrick on June 30th, 2006 filed in Diatribes, NBA Draft

Before I get to a few late comments about the NBA draft; my neighbor’s roof needs to be replaced. It leaks during a normal rain, shingles fly off when it’s windy, and he’s already had to patch up a 5ft by 5ft section with tar. Instead of going out and calling a roofer, he now [...]

From one post, three

Posted by Nels on June 26th, 2006 filed in Boston Celtics, Carnivals, NBA Basketball, NBA Draft

I probably could have combined my 3 short posts into 1 longer one, but each is meritorious of attention in and of itself. And, the 3 posts will get me an extra, like, penny a day, maybe, from Google.
Anyhow, that point is that Jeff of the Celticsblog has a Carnival (this being the 31st) [...]

I can't wait until Wednesday night is over

Posted by Nels on June 26th, 2006 filed in Chicago Bulls, Fantasy Draft Guide 2006, NBA Basketball, NBA Draft, Random Stuff

Not that anything will necessarily be set in stone on Thursday morning… but something like this video certainly doesn’t make it any easier to figure out who the Bulls (or any other team) should take.
Right now, I’m thinking the Bulls should take Tyrus Thomas at #2 and then trade for the Celtics pick (I saw [...]

Is it a limited edition?

Posted by Nels on June 26th, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball

I wonder how many of the 19 remaining die-hard NBA fans have this card set? Perhaps a pre-quel question should have been, I wonder how many of the 19 remaining die-hard NBA fans are Celtics fans?

Party Grab Bag

Posted by Patrick on June 24th, 2006 filed in Diatribes, NBA Draft, New York Knicks

A few completely different things (besides my money) on my mind today.
So, Larry Brown is officially out as Knicks head coach and Isiah Thomas is in. I can’t say that I’m surprised. And now the Knicks and Brown are in a dispute over the $40 million remaining on his contact. You can be [...]

Must be opposite day (season?) in Toronto

I think Brian Colangelo is attempting to find out if he can build the opposite of the small, fast Phoenix team, using large, slow (sometimes fast) big men. Chris Bosh and Charlie V up front. Mo Pete and Andrea Bargnani as your wings. Mike James running the show. The front four [...]

Thank you Aaron Stampler

Posted by Nels on June 21st, 2006 filed in Diatribes, NBA Basketball, NBA Finals, NBA Playoffs

for saying pretty much everything I was going to. Now I don’t have to waste my time writing some huge diatribe.
I can just say this, and I think it summarizes about 80% of my opinion within +/- 10%:
Dwyane Wade is the only player in the Finals on either team who deserves a ring.
Even just [...]

On to the Draft

Posted by Nels on June 21st, 2006 filed in Fantasy Draft Guide 2006, NBA Draft

Most of the teams in the league had already moved on to the draft, including the Celtics and the Raptors. Bloggers for those two teams at Celtics 17 and HoopsAddict have, in fact, put together a Mock Draftcast while most of us were looking the other way. Actually, I was looking both ways [...]

Nels Live Blog: Game 6

Just so I can say I live blogged at least part of every Finals game (so far).
7:21 – 10 blocks? That’s pretty ridiculous.
I might not post anything else now, and just let PMad handle it.
0:26.2 – Great. Wade pushes off and they call a foul on Dirk. I was really hoping they [...]
