Give Me The Rock
this is fantasy basketball
Line of the Night: LeBron (1.30) scored 41 for the third time in four games, adding 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and shooting 80% from the line! Someone’s been practicing!
Honorable Mentions: Allen Iverson (1.19) had 30/7/9 but only shot 47.4%, which was not as good as LeBron’s 67%. Tayshaun Prince (1.08), who due to a typo I just made will now be called Yayshaun, had 26/11/2 and made all 10 of this free throws. Take that, LeBron! Al Horford (1.07) unleashed a little bit of Beast Mode on the Bulls, scoring 27, grabbing 17 rebounds, and blocking 6 (!) shots. Note to daily lineup changers: Play your big men against the Bulls. Joakim Noah and Aaron Gray are stopping No One.
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Speaking of the Bulls lack of defense, Thabo Sefolosha (0.72) had 13/1/3 with 3 steals and 2 blocks. The Bulls were +16 with him on the floor. I guess that’s what happens when you let your real second string players go against the other team’s second string players. I can’t recommend actually picking him up, though, until he scores double digits in a few games.
The rest of the list from last night looks pretty bleak in terms of guys who might be available. Hopefully that means that you have the guys who are performing well on your team and aren’t playing against too many of them this week. Speaking of playing against people this week, how did I end up playing Erik (from Points in the Paint) in 2 leagues this week?
The Biggest Loser: While Dahntay Jones (-0.32) ended up at 113 on the night for the Nuggets, JR Smith (-0.73) once again takes on all 156 other players to come up with the worst line of the night. I just have to harp on this because Smith was supposed to be the big winner in the Billups/Iverson trade, but it continues to look like that hope was vastly misplaced. Smith played only 18 minutes, going 1/7 from the field, scoring only 3 points with 1 rebound and 1 assist.
Andrew Bogut (-0.39) also had a pretty bad night, going 2/7 for 5 points, with 7 rebounds and a steal. Everyone’s new favorite pick up Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (-0.30) got 30 minutes to Bogut’s 20, but MaM only came up with 9 points, 7 rebounds, and a block. Time to go back to Charlie Villanueva (0.13) maybe?
All Eyez On Me: If New Orleans can take it to overtime with the Lakers tonight, Chris Paul may be able to get his first LotN of the season. Better hurry, Chris: we’re almost 10% of the way done.
If it’s not Chris Paul, then check out Danny Granger playing against the New Jersey Our Defense is Full of Holes like a Net(s).
But, if I had to watch a game just to watch a game, it would definitely be Portland v Miami. I’m ready to jump on both those bandwagons come playoff time. Memphis and NY should be a fun one to watch too, plenty of fantasy potential there. Not so much with the playoff potential, though.
