Give Me The Rock
this is fantasy basketball
We had a full house last night. And by we, I mean, the NBA. Check below for the Comeback Kids.
Line of the Night: The Black Mamba (6.61). 36 points on 10/16 with 4 threes, and 12/13 from the line. Also, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals. You think Pau Gasol (3.10) had anything to do with that?
Honorable Mentions: MVP spoiler Mike Bibby (5.81) had 26/6/12 with 3 steals, and 5 threes. MVP Candidate LeBron James (5.36) had 29/4/5 with 3 steals and 2 blocks. Jason Richardson (5.26) tried to make Golden State remember the good old days with 31/6/7, 2 steals, 4 threes, and a block. Unfortunately, LeBron couldn’t remember those days, and neither could the Mavs. Deron Williams (5.19) had 19/4/14 on 8/10 from the field, adding 3 steals. Josh Smith (5.12) proved once again that he is the cornerstone of a Midball team with 24/9/4, 3 threes, 2 steals, and 2 blocks as the Hawks beat the Raptors in OT.
Comeback Kids: Pau Gasol ended with 10/6/7, 1 steal, and 1 block. Dirk Nowitzki (2.83) had 18 and 5 with a block. Gilbert Arenas (2.65) had 17/1/2 with 2 threes while DeShawn Stevenson and Antawn Jamison were carried off the court.
3 minutes, 9 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 18%.
Yao Ming did not play.
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: The Traded For Gasol Javaris Crittendon had the 11th best line of the night with 23/9/4. He also had 2 threes and a steal, was 7/7 from the line, and only shot 63% from the floor (thereby passing Patrick’s 70% test). Memphis was playing the Knicks, though, and ended the game with 130 points, so maybe we shouldn’t be reading too much into it. I mean, Darko only played 2 minutes, so it’s pretty obvious that Memphis is just rolling through the rest of their season like an M1 Abrams.
The Biggest Loser: Everyone has an off game at some point. Fantasy owners just usually hope that their players get it over with early in the season instead of dropping a line like 12 and 2 on 5/13 from the field during a playoff week. Yes, Mr. 22 on the Player Rater Al Jefferson, I’m looking at you. Josie Maran, everyone else is looking at you.
For those who need an explanation: Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) featured Josie Maran. And everybody’s back except Yao Ming. And those guys in the Yao Ming jerseys are, of course, the Asian Backstreet Boys. The circle is complete.
