Day 26 of 170: Where the Raptors Become the First Team to Give Up

Posted by Patrick on November 21st, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, New Orleans Hornets, Toronto Raptors, Trades

Line of the Night: A 20-20 night for Al Horford (1.57) against the Mavericks (in the parts I saw, he treated Brendon Haywood like a cardboard cutout). Hortford was 10-12 from the floor, adding 5 assists and 3 blocked shots. The Hawks still lost the game, although blame can be squarely placed on Joe Johnson [...]

Did it hurt that he shot 13-17 from the field? Certainly not. Honorable Mentions: David West (2.41) scored 34 [...]

Day 24 of 170: You’re Either In, Or You’re Out

Posted by Nels on November 19th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Indiana Pacers

Line of the Night: Danny Granger (2.58) just kind of fill up the box score to get this one. It helped that the Pacers were playing the Clippers, so I guess if the Pacers are the league’s punching bag, that makes the Clippers the Pacers punching bag. Granger wasn’t “remarkable” per se in any category, [...]

He is out for the rest of the season and may have already played his last game for the Blazers since the team declined to offer him a contract extension earlier this year. [...]

Give Me The Rock Mixtape #2: Circus Trip

Posted by Nels on November 18th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Chicago Bulls, Random Stuff

Just in time (sort of) for the Bulls annual Circus Trip, I give you the second GMTR Mixtape: Circus Trip. Don’t worry, there’s no Britney Spears anywhere near this thing (though there is a dash of Taylor Swift as an ingredient in #6). As opposed to the first mixtape: Start The Season which was what [...]
