Posted by Nels on January 21st, 2011 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Portland Trail Blazers

Line of the Night: Since the Golden Globes are kind of like the Pre-Oscar Movie Awards, maybe we can use the Golden Basketballs as our Pre-Season-End Fantasy-Awards… If everyone thinks that’s cool, I’m going to go ahead and give the Golden Basketball award for Best Player in a Waiver Wire Pickup Role to Wesley Matthews [...]

Day 83 of 170: Clippers’ Dynamic Duo

Posted by Erik on January 17th, 2011 filed in Author: Erik, Fantasy Basketball

It was a rare, light Sunday night and we only had two games on tap. A virtually home-home, Laker-Clipper game and a San Antonio versus an-about-to-be-blown-up (rosterwise) Denver match-up.
