Day 6 of 124: Five More Years!

Posted by Nels on December 31st, 2011 filed in Author: Nels, Chicago Bulls, Fantasy Basketball

or: The $94 Million Dollar Man For the first time in a long time (and not just because of the lockout) I woke up the morning after watching a basketball game and wanted to watch the whole thing again. Not just 10 seconds of Kevin Durant’s buzzer-beater. I want to see Chris Paul’s ball-handling, Blake [...]

Day 4 of 124: And on the Fourth Day, The Lakers Rested

Posted by Patrick on December 29th, 2011 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, Miami Heat

But the Miami Heat did not. Line of the Night: Dwyane Wade (0.05 WARP) may have hit the game wining shot with seconds left to give the Heat a win over Charlotte, but he was only 5-13 from the field on the night, finishing with 10 points. It was actually LeBron James (2.55 WARP) who [...]

It does this by estimating the probably that a team would win a statistical category (on a per week [...]
