Day 153 of 170: The Battle for the West Continues

Posted by Nels on March 31st, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Sacramento Kings

and Ron Artest says it’s a “failure” that Sacramento isn’t in it (the battle, that is). Of course, he also said:
We have one of the best defensive players to ever play the game in myself.
Well, last night, that was certainly true…
Line of the Night: Ron Artest (5.83) had 29/12/3 with 2 threes and some good [...]

Day 152 of 170: Backwards Day

Posted by Patrick on March 30th, 2008 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, NBA Cheerleaders

Did you ever have “backwards day” in elementary school, where everyone would wear their clothes backwards and the day would be all mixed up? No? Me neither. But let’s make up for lost time with the strange day that was yesterday.
Line of the Night: If you had Al Thornton (5.7) in your lineup yesterday, [...]

Big Ass Board – 3/30/08

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

A change to the Board with the big ass this week. I’ve adjusted the formula to give more weight to a guy’s recent performance instead of his year-to-date performance. I did this because, as Yoda taught me, it matters not what one has done, but what one will do. Or some crap like that.
Notable Injuries: [...]

Day 151 of 170: Greg Oden is Back Playing Basketball

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

Line of the Night: Kobe Bryant (5.8) by a Chicago mile*. Lets ignore the painful fact that the Lakers lost to the Grizzles, and focus on Kobe Bryant, the guy taking his recent look straight out of the Lisa ‘left Eye’ Lopes playbook. Kobe attempted an insane 17 threes and managed to hit 9 [...]

Day 150 of 170: Jason Kidd is not retiring

Posted by Nels on March 28th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, NBA Cheerleaders, New Jersey Nets

Line of the Night: Jason Kidd (6.42) pulled out the first 6+ I’ve seen in a while. Or at least that I remember seeing. And reality and what I remember can be two vastly different things. Kidd had 19 points on 6/11, 4/5 and 3 threes. He also has 15 assists, 4 rebounds (no triple-double??), [...]

Day 149 of 170: The Day C-Webb Hung Up His Shoes

Posted by Nels on March 27th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Indiana Pacers

I hate to be so quick to dismiss someone like Chris Webber, but this is a fantasy basketball blog, and if you really want to read people opining on the career that was, well, there’s plenty of other places where that’s happening.
Line of the Night: If you filled in yesterday’s madlibs with anything along the [...]

Day 148 of 170: Mad Libs

Posted by Nels on March 26th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, New Orleans Hornets

Meme time, baby!
Jeff Wong over at The Score stole the Mad Libs idea from Brett Edwards at AOL FanHouse, and who am I if not the World Greatest Copycheater?

Day 147 of 170: The Miami Heat Are So Bad, They’re Actually Good

Posted by Patrick on March 25th, 2008 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, Miami Heat

Line of the Night: Lamar Odom (6.0). Typically, to get a 6+ on the rater, a guy has to have a monster of a game. I think this line from Odom qualifies – 23 points off 10-15 shooting, 21 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks as the Lakers beat the Warriors in OT. [...]

Day 146 of 170: Capt Jack Makes It Rain (Threes)

Posted by Patrick on March 24th, 2008 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: Stephen Jackson (6.1). My, how times have changed. Could you have seen this written about Jackson before this season?
Just when it appeared the Los Angeles Lakers were going to successfully rally from a 26-point deficit, the Golden State Warriors turned to Stephen Jackson.
Smart move.
Like Joe Johnson yesterday, Capt Jack’s line isn’t [...]
