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 119 of 170: Dwyane Wade figures out why no one wants Jermaine O'Neal

Posted by Nels on February 23rd, 2009 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, GMTR Readers 08-09, Miami Heat

Line of the Night: Poor Dwyane Wade (1.54). When Kobe goes for 50, the Lakers win. When LeBron goes for 50, the Cavs win. When Wade goes for 50, the Heat lose by 23. I guess when a guy who has only played 54 games (Michael Beasley) is your second leading scorer and the only [...]
