Day 140 of 170: The Final Month of Fantasy Basketball

Posted by Patrick on March 16th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: I’m beginning to think that Basketball Monster is just crushing on Stephen Curry (1.22). Carmelo Anthony (1.08) may have thrown down 45 points on the Rockets, but it’s actually Curry with 29 points, 5 boards, 9 assists and 5 threes who had a better overall fantasy line. Curry currently sits on [...]

Day 138 of 170: We Like Them Young: The Stephen Curry Edition

Posted by Patrick on March 14th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Ballin Outta Control, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: Stephen Curry (1.79). On a night where Luis Scola (1.13) dropped 44 points on 20-25 shooting against the Nets, Curry’s fantasy line was still miles ahead of everyone else. Curry scored a not too shabby 35 points himself, going 5-7 from three with 6 boards, 10 assists and 4 steals as [...]

Day 137 of 170: Jeff Green and the Franchise Kid

Posted by Patrick on March 13th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, NBA Teams, Oklahoma City Thunder

Line of the Night: Jeff Green (1.16). On a night when Kevin Durant (0.99) scored 32 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and set a franchise record with his 36th 30 point game this season (I’m going to assume the franchise lineage extends back to Seattle, which seems wrong in my opinion), Green actually had a even [...]

Day 135 of 170: I win for me! FOR ME!

Posted by Patrick on March 11th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Boston Celtics, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: Jason Kidd (1.31). Playing his former team in the Nets, Kidd finished with 20 points, 9 assists and 4 steals in 44 minutes on the court. He was also 5-8 from three in the game as the Mavs won 96-87. This brings up the interesting question, after being left for dead [...]

Day 133 of 170: Where Shots are Falling and Manu is Smiling

Posted by Patrick on March 9th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, Free Agency, Injuries, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs

Line of the Night: Despite the season high 38 points for Manu Ginobili (1.39), the hurting Spurs lost a close game to the more hurting Cavs, 97-95. In additional to the great scoring game, Ginobili had 7 rebounds, 5 assists and was 7-11 from three. With Tony Parker expected to miss the next 6 weeks [...]

Day 130 of 170: The Rodney Stuckey Scare

Posted by Patrick on March 6th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Ballin Outta Control, Fantasy Basketball, Injuries

Line of the Night: Lebron James (1.66). Who did you think it was going to be? LeBron dropped 40 in a Cavs win over the Pistons, adding 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 3 threes and 2 blocks. And in last night’s game, LeBron already became the Cavs franchise leader in minutes played, passing Zydrunas [...]

Day 128 of 170: Where Amar’e Stoudemire Plays Like His Contract Depended on It

Posted by Patrick on March 4th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Cleveland Cavaliers, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: Amar’e Stoudemire (1.42) led the way for the Suns in a 127-101 beat down over the Clippers. He finished the game 12-16 from the floor for 30 points, adding 14 rebounds and 3 blocks. Methinks there might be some kind of monetary incentive for Amar’e to play balls to the wall [...]

Day 126 of 170: Big Diesel Shuts Down the Engines

Posted by Patrick on March 2nd, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: You’d think Lebron James (0.63) would have this one in the bag with his Cavs destroying the Knicks last night 124-93. But the Cavs were so good that LeBron only had to play 31 minutes (although he did have a 22/7/7 in those minutes). Instead, last night belonged to Aaron Brooks [...]

Day 124 of 170: He’s Not French, He’s a Basketball Player

Posted by Patrick on February 28th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

A special thanks to Nels for admirably filling in for me yesterday while I sat cold and alone in my house staring a fridge fill of beer.
Line of the Night /Waiver Wire Line of the Night: I was on the Nicolas Batum (1.68) bandwagen (it was assembled in Europe) right from the start when he [...]
