Posted by Nels on October 31st, 2006 filed in Chicago Bulls, DroppingDimes 06, Fantasy Basketball, GMTR Leagues, HoopsAddict.com 06

So, NBA.com claims to have live scoring on their site. But PJ Brown has been stuck at 13 fantasy points for more than a half hour now… Oh wait. It’s because he’s on the bench since the Bulls are up by 23 points!
Oh, and if you notice a distinct Bulls bent to this blog [...]

And remember, if you want to be a winner like me, just follow these few easy steps to fantasy greatness.*
1. Know [...]

Fantasy Basketball Auction: How to Make Adjustments, Badly

Posted by Patrick on October 31st, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Maine Hoops 06

My third and final fantasy basketball league conducted an auction the other night. Not many leagues run an auction, probably because you have to get everyone in the same room or on a conference call to make it work, but when they’re done right, it’s much more involved and intense than a draft.
The auction went [...]

Fantasy Preview: Chicago Bulls

Posted by Patrick on October 30th, 2006 filed in Chicago Bulls, Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Draft Guide 2006

Welcome to the final installment of the Eastern Conference Fantasy Team Previews. Whew… that ended up being a little more work than I expected. But, I saved one of the more interesting teams for the finale – those crazy Chicago Bulls! Fantasy wise, the Bulls have a lot of talent but no real superstar, at [...]

Red Auerbach as mourned by the blogosphere

Posted by Nels on October 29th, 2006 filed in NBA Basketball

Only fitting that we start with CelticsBlog. Yes, a simple picture will do, and really, the name speaks for itself. But, if you feel the need to share your feelings, the CelticsBlog forum is as good a place as any.
One of my new favorites, PerkIsABeast has an equally serene farewell.
And LastButNotLeast, Celtics 17 [...]

Fantasy Preview: New York Knicks

Posted by Patrick on October 28th, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Draft Guide 2006, New York Knicks

With the start of the season is coming, I have two teams to go in order to finish the Eastern Conference Team Previews. And even though something like 98% of all fantasy leagues have already drafted, I’m going to get there before Tuesday. Unfortunately, the USB flash drive where I keep all my work disappeared [...]

Fantasy Sleeper Marvin Williams out for 2 months

Posted by Nels on October 26th, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Draft Guide 2006, Injuries, Player News, Sleepers

Fantasy Bull Sports with the scoop (not Jackson). Confirmation by way of Slam Magazine.
Atlanta Hawk sophomore Marvin Williams has broken a metacarpal bone and is now out for the first two months of the year.

Two months is a long time to wait for a sleeper. That’s like a coma-style sleeper or something.
I’m pretty [...]

Stop reading ESPN!!!

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

Mutoni over at Bench Renaldo wants you to stop reading ESPN. I’m not sure why, since he was one of the Tattoo Bloggers on there, but since I wasn’t selected for shite, I’m going to agree with him. I stopped reading ESPN a long time ago, and I don’t think I’ve suffered a [...]

Here’s your Midnight Snacks, Breakfast Club style. I’m pretty sure no one cares about the delay. If you do, go ahead and leave a comment. Feel free to ponder why it wasn’t posted at midnight last night, and instead it’s here early in the morning. Did that make you feel frustrated? [...]

Midnight Snacks for Oct. Tyrus Thomas, 2006

Posted by Nels on October 24th, 2006 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Midnight Snack Club

That’s right, it’s Tyrus Thomas Day.
No real fantasy basketball incites today. There’s evidently some Agent Zero incites, though.
I could probably write something more about the Midnight Snacks in Midnight Blue over on the right, but I played some actually real basketball today, so I’m tired. So, if you’re reading in an RSS Reader, [...]
