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 129 of 170: Many Will Enter, Few Will Win

Posted by Nels on March 5th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Miami Heat

Zach Randolph (0.88) with his 31 and 18? Kobe Bryant (0.54) with his 39 points? Deron Williams (0.77) with his 27 points as part of a 41 point Jazz 4th quarter hammer?
Line of the Night: Nope. Quentin Richardson (1.26) dropped 7 three pointers on 61% shooting, adding 3 steals and a block. Richardson also qualified [...]

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 [...]

127 of 170: The Good Keep Rolling

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!

Gilbert Arenas, traded for David Lee!

Posted by Erik on March 3rd, 2010 filed in Author: Erik, Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Strategy, GMTR Leagues

In a recent transaction, Gilbert Arenas, who is already suspended for the remainder of the season, was sent off and traded for David Lee.

When I found the news in my inbox about the transaction taking place, I was completely dumbfounded, utterly and completely. I took a moment to gather up my composure and studied what [...]

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 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) [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
