I don’t know, that picture was suggested by Zemanta, and I thought it was cool.
Since this post is basically an homage to 2nd Round Reach, I’m going to publicly answer the question that Brendan emailed me the other day. What happened to The Commute?
Well, there was probably enough material to keep it going on a nearly daily basis, but honestly, that was just too much work for me. I’m not inherently lazy (or I wouldn’t have been able to keep a blog going for almost four and a half years), but I do have a lot of work at my day job which prevents me from being able to just sit here any round up links all day. Trust me, if I could make enough money to quit my day job by doing that, I would have done it already. But since that isn’t the case, I’m left to just do what I can. And so… The Commute will morph into The Roadtrip. This way, I can still post random highway exit ramps (which, actually, was surprisingly fun), but I won’t have that self-imposed pressure to crank something out every day. That always just seems like a recipe for turning posts into mush instead of Fresh, Sharp, Insightful type stuff. That is, assuming any of my posts can be classified as either fresh, sharp, or insightful.
Anyway, the real meat is two posts by Brendan today over at 2nd Round Reach.
The first is The Top 10 Fantasy Point Guards for the first month of the season. I have to say, I’m surprised that Chauncey Billups comes in at number 2. Happy to see that Derrick Rose gets an honorable mention. I don’t know if he can crack the Top 10 this season, but as the other aging point guards on the list continue their slow and sometimes sporadic decline, I’m sure he’ll get there in the future.
The second post is an analysis of the announcement that Kevin Durant will start playing SF. As Brendan points out:
Kevin Durant is thankfully, mercifully, finally going to start at SF (where he’s already eligible in practically every league because even Yahoo! is smarter than P.J. Carlesimo.)
Read on to find out what this means for Durant’s fantasy numbers.
