Day 93 of 170: LeBron Is Now Averaging 30.1 Points Per Game

Posted by Nels on January 31st, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Cleveland Cavaliers, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: LeBron James (5.78) outscored the Blazers by 2 (and the Cavs got 22) in the 4th quarter to not only win LotN, but the game. That said, how awesome is Portland going to be when they finally have Greg Oden? Pretty awesome. Maybe then they’ll be able to stop LeBron’ 37 [...]

Does Flea Write His Own NBA Blog?

Posted by Patrick on January 30th, 2008 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Sorry for two non-fantasy related posts in one day, but I just discovered that Flea, diaper-wearing-bassist-extraordinaire from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has a blog on NBA.com about the NBA (well, sorta). Does he write himself? You be the judge: the lakers have signed a new back up center in the absence of Andrew bynum [...]

Basketball in Video Games

Posted by Patrick on January 30th, 2008 filed in Author: Patrick, Diatribes

There are only a few things I really love in this world: basketball, Christmas mornings, burritos, the female form, HDTV, and of course, video games.

But, really, he is still Sylar. And using his ability to take other people’s abilities, he has taken other players’ basketball skills and gone from a pre-season #91 to his current spot at #26. And for that, and his 23 points, 13 assists and 4 threes (5.28), he is awarded the Line of the Night [...]

Day 91 of 170: Gerald Wallace Finally has the Best Fantasy Game of the Night

Posted by Patrick on January 29th, 2008 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

…and it wasn’t even his best work. Line of the Night: I hope you’re reading this one seanlb, because your boy Gerald Wallace (5.9) had the best line of the night. I’d personally be tempted to give it to Chris Paul (5.7), who had 23 points, 17 assists and 9 rebounds, but Paul was only [...]

Day 90 of 170: I Think Al Jefferson Has a Future in this League

Posted by Patrick on January 28th, 2008 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: God bless the overtime game. Caron Butler (5.8) scored a career-high 40 and added 8 rebounds and 5 steals in an overtime loss against the Bucks. It was a tough loss for Butler, who was playing in front of his family – including his mother. Honorable Mentions: 40 and 19 with [...]
