Day 82 of 170: Gerald Wallace Kicks Greg Oden Out of His House

Posted by Patrick on January 18th, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, Diatribes, Fantasy Basketball, Player News

Line of the Night: They aren’t quite the Golden State Warriors, but the Knicks do their part of help out the opposing team’s fantasy lines. And yesterday, Andre Iguodala (1.11) had his shot falling against New York, going 10-17 from the floor and finishing with 28 points, 10 boards, 7 assists and 3 threes. Honorable [...]

Day 81 of 170: Michael Redd Doesn't Have a Problem

Posted by Patrick on January 17th, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: Michael Redd (1.56). The AP game recap called it a scoring binge, a term I’ve always found funny because of the negative connotations it brings along with it. Like I imagine Redd locking himself in the Bucks locker room and shooting baskets uncontrollably for 48 hours straight while GM John Hammond [...]

Day 79 of 170: The Space Time Continuum is Loosely Based on Chris Paul's Brain Activity

Posted by Patrick on January 15th, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: Chris Paul (1.36). The Mavs decided that making Jason Kidd guard Chris Paul was some kind of sadistic joke, so they stuck the larger Antoine Wright on him most of the game. That plan worked out about as well as Tom Cruise’s accent in Valkyrie. Paul, who if you believe the [...]

Day 78 of 170: Jameer Tops Huge Games By Dirk, LeBron, Dwight, and Dwyane

Posted by Nels on January 14th, 2009 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Orlando Magic, Player News

Line of the Night: Wow. Obviously, if you had a list that included Dirk, LeBron, Dwight, and Dwyane (yes, you should know them all on a first name basis), and Jameer, you probably wouldn’t have put money on Jameer (1.75) to have the best line of the night. But with his 23 points on 5 [...]
