Day 155 of 170: These Are Not the Contract Terms You Are Looking For

Posted by Patrick on March 31st, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: Jamal Crawford (1.23). In his second game back from some kind of strange Don Nelson-related “you’d better opt out of your contract or else” benching maneuver, Crawford overcame a Crawford-esque 8-22 shooting night to take home the best fantasy line with 26 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks [...]

Day 153 of 170: The Anticlimatic return of Gilbert Arenas

Posted by Patrick on March 29th, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Yes folks, Gilbert Arenas (0.36) did return yesterday, scoring 15 points and dishing 10 assists against the Pistons. He was also 3-12 from the field, so some rust still needs to be shaken off his game. If you are one of the poor unlucky bastards who have been sitting on Arenas all year hoping for [...]

Give Me Some of That Monster League Playoff Action

Posted by Patrick on March 27th, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, GMTR Readers 08-09

Congratulations to the six teams who made the playoffs in the first annual Give Me The Monster League. No, I’m not one of those teams. A 4-5 loss to Nels in the last week of the regular season left me for dead in 9th place – five games back from Dennis Velasco and his banana [...]

Day 150 of 170: Ok, I admit it. Tony Parker is a Moderately Decent Point Guard

Posted by Patrick on March 26th, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, Diatribes, Fantasy Basketball, Player News

…and a sexy, sexy man. Line of the Night: It took the return of Manu Ginobili to push Tony Parker (1.18) to a LotN performance. Parker scored 42 points off 18-25 shooting and had 10 assists in the Spurs win over the Hawks. It probably helped Parker’s game that Duncan sat in this one, but [...]
