Where NBA Commercials Happen

Posted by Nels on March 10th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Random Stuff, Videos

Bull Bear Sock has collected the newest NBA commercials for you. Just wanted to throw that out there cause I agree with ‘jammaster2j’ that they’re awesome.
My favorite is the Clutch one with Kobe saying “I knew I had to knock it down.” Which one do you like?

Day 132 of 170: I dropped Thaddeus Young. You are welcome.

Posted by Nels on March 8th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Philadelphia 76ers

Line of the Night: Maybe I think this is just something that happens to me because I pay closest attention to my own transactions, but, I mean, really? The day I drop Thaddeus Young (1.29) he outplays Kobe Bryant (not in an actual game, just fantasy) for the Line of the Night. Of course, looking [...]

NBA All Star “Oscar Robertson” Awards

http://oscar.go.com/media/2010/html/print10.html

Now there are clearly a couple different ways we could go with this… e.g., making fun of players by calling them actors (Manu Ginobili, I’m looking at you), but that seems a bit cheap, so I’m going to try to limit the number of easy jokes I make at the expensive of large egos. Instead, [...]

Posted by Nels on March 3rd, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Miami Heat

Not only did the better team win each of the 4 games last night, but the guys you’d expect to top the fantasy charts were right there.
But first: Don’t Forget: Play GMTR’s Weekly Fantasy Game. I’ve set my roster this week, and it’s a goodie. Tons of potential value picks there!

Day 125 of 170: Andray Blatche is Going to Make Some Guy Very Happy

Posted by Nels on March 1st, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Washington Wizards

And that guy is going to be a keeper league owner who took him late in his fantasy draft this year.
Line of the Night: Even with enough players to fill a league playing last night, it was Andray Blatche (1.07) who had the stupidest verse. (This is one of those cases where stupid means good) [...]

Day 123 of 170: Don’t Bet On Patrick’s Power Company

Posted by Nels on February 27th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Cleveland Cavaliers, Fantasy Basketball

Good morning Weekend Readers! I’m here to fill in for Patrick like one of those weekend news anchors that you don’t really recognize until they’re on the evening news and you’re like: I’ve seen that dude before. Patrick’s house is without power, so please, keep him in your thoughts as he attempts to drink all [...]

Day 122 of 170: Always Bet On Patrick

Posted by Nels on February 26th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Denver Nuggets, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: In case you missed it, Patrick predicted that someone from the Nuggets-Warriors game would get the Line of the Night. It was not Carmelo Anthony’s body that caught on fire (much the opposite according to Basketball Monster), but rather Chauncey Billups (1.39) playing a game of NBA Jam and tossing in [...]
