Give Me The Rock
this is fantasy basketball
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 for Day 92 of 170.
This is Mr. Calderon’s 5th nomination and 1st win.
Honorable Mentions: Mike Dunleavy (5.16) had a LeBron Jamesesque night with 25 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 threes. Also, 2 steals and 0 turnovers. Stephen Jackson (5.12) was about as close as you can be to being the Maid of Honor Runner Up with 25 points, 7 assists, (only) 6 rebounds, (but) 5 threes and a steal and a block. How deep are we rolling? Have to go deep enough to include Ming Yao’s (4.91) 36 points on 11-19 and 14-15, with 19 rebounds. The 7 turnovers were kind of a lot, though. Amare Stoudemire (4.80) only played 28 minutes as the Suns blew out the Hawks, but he racked up 24 points on 10-11, adding 7 rebounds and 4 blocks. Chris Bosh (4.78) had 37 and 12. Not too shabby.
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Tony Allen (4.34) was 8th overall on the night with 20 points on 6-12, 6-7, 2 threes, adding 6 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks with only 1 turnover. Now, the Celtics were playing Miami, and beat them by 30 points. Paul Pierce only played 28 minutes while Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen sat out completely. Why am I writing all this? Because, guess what, that’s probably going to happen a lot down the stretch. Garnett, Pierce, and Allen aren’t getting any younger and less injured, but Tony Allen is only 26. Boston only needs to win about 10 more games to lock up a playoff spot in the East. So, if you’re in a league with daily lineup changes, it wouldn’t hurt to ditch someone like Keith Bogans, or well, I don’t see anyone else on my team that I’d drop… but if you have someone who’s only marginally consistent, Tony Allen could be big ballin whenever Ray Allen decides to take a DNP.
The Biggest Loser: I’m tempted to go with Carlos Delfino (0.89) since he was the Line of the Night just 13 days ago… but 2 days after that he was The Biggest Loser, so let’s see if anyone else is worthy. I feel I have to mention Ryan Gomes (1.61) as (yet another) example of how unpredictable this game of basketball really is. Just 9 days after he had 2 WWLotN awards in 3 days, he went 0-4 in 32 minutes. He did have 7 rebounds and 2 assists, though, so it wasn’t a complete loss. I guess we’ll go with Joe Johnson (1.85), since he usually puts up good numbers, but last night went 3-14 (21%) with 3 turnovers. He did have 8 rebounds, but only 1 assist. Of course, if I’m going to pick Johnson, who is at #60 on the GMTR Player Rater, then I feel I have to mention Raja Bell (1.80) because I was thinking about going with him originally, and didnt, but then noticed that he was right ahead of JJ on the Player Rater. Bell only played 28 minutes since his Suns (well, not his Suns, really, but the Suns that he plays for) were blowing out Joe’s Hawks, but Bell only came up with 4 points on 2-8 shooting, adding 5 rebounds, 1 assist and a block.
On an unrelated note, is anyone else really looking forward to seeing The Eye, even they know it’s going to be a terrible movie. I mean, they’re not even screening it for critics it seems, which is always a sure sign that they (whoever “they” is) know that it sucks.
