Posted by Erik on January 30th, 2012 filed in Author: Erik, Fantasy Basketball, LA Lakers

One milestone deserves another.

Bryant is now also on track this season (91 points behind) to surpass Shaquille O’Neal who [...]

Day 32 of 124: Where Tyrus Thomas Beckons You with his Sweet Siren Call

Line of the Night: Anyone who listens to the podcast knows that I went all in on Stephen Curry (3.58 WARP) this year in my personal leagues. Well, I couldn’t be happier this morning thanks to a season-high 32 points from Curry, who shot 12-19 from the field and added 6 threes, 6 rebounds, 7 [...]
