Notes from a League Pass Trial

Posted by Nels on November 1st, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Live Blogging

While waiting for more costumed creatures to appear I’m watching 3 games simultaneously. Since I don’t usually have this kind of built-in free time – let alone the means – to watch basketball like this, I’m taking full advantage. Here are something that bubbled to the top of my mind while watching the early games [...]

Houstopolis

Posted by mabeuf on February 14th, 2007 filed in Fantasy Basketball, Houston Rockets, Live Blogging, Memphis Grizzlies, NBA Teams

Well, for starters, I am back. I was out of town for some time and followed that up with a brisk glut of over-working myself.
The Rockets made a trade!! With absolutely no fantasy impact. No one in the league was expecting the Rockets to utilize their expiring trade exception, but Jerry West helped the Rockets [...]

Nels Live Blog: Game 6

Just so I can say I live blogged at least part of every Finals game (so far).
7:21 – 10 blocks? That’s pretty ridiculous.
I might not post anything else now, and just let PMad handle it.
0:26.2 – Great. Wade pushes off and they call a foul on Dirk. I was really hoping they [...]

Nels Live Blog: Game 5

Posted by Nels on June 18th, 2006 filed in Dallas Mavericks, Live Blogging, Miami Heat, NBA Basketball, NBA Finals, NBA Playoffs

Okay… coming in a little late here… but it’s only the second now. Just got home from a BBQ. I was hoping to make it for the 2nd half, but traffic was good, so here I am. Just turned the TV.
Miami by 3.
Looks like Dallas is keying on Dwyane Wade tonight. [...]

Nels Live Blog: Game 4

Posted by Nels on June 15th, 2006 filed in Dallas Mavericks, Live Blogging, Miami Heat, NBA Basketball, NBA Finals, NBA Playoffs

Just so I can keep my live blog streak alive… just got home…
3:38 – The singer from System of a Down is a Heat fan.
1:32 – Sorry, had to get some water. Really dehydrated.
Looks like it was a good one for the Heat. I’m sorry I missed it. Now let’s get 3 [...]

Game 4: Live Blog

Posted by Patrick on June 15th, 2006 filed in Dallas Mavericks, Live Blogging, Miami Heat, NBA Basketball, NBA Finals

Although Nels is unable to run with the live blog for Game 4 tonight (special event is really code for being ‘detained with a family issue’… just kidding there Nels), I’ll try to keep up with the Heat & Mavs for as long as I can. Being an East Coast guy who is not only [...]

Two Things

Posted by Nels on June 15th, 2006 filed in Fantasy Draft Guide 2006, Live Blogging, NBA Basketball, NBA Draft, NBA Finals

1) Probably no live blog tonight (at least from me). I was hoping to hit every game, but we’ve got tickets to special event this evening. Not as special as the NBA Finals, but then, they have one of those every year, right?
2) Is anyone else going to get confused when they go [...]

Nels Live Blog Game 2: Prep

Posted by Nels on June 11th, 2006 filed in Dallas Mavericks, Live Blogging, Miami Heat, NBA Basketball, NBA Finals, NBA Playoffs

I’m trying to catch up here at half time. It actually wasn’t a “family” matter, as PMad said… since that sounds like something serious has happened. No, it was just a friend’s birthday and they asked if I wanted to go to dinner all last minute about it. Did have some Friendship [...]

Nels Live Blog Game 2: Action

Posted by Nels on June 11th, 2006 filed in Dallas Mavericks, Live Blogging, Miami Heat, NBA Basketball, NBA Finals, NBA Playoffs

Okay, ready to go. If you missed the intro, it’s here.
Here’s a suggestion for viewing the dual-action live-blog… get Firefox, and view each post in it’s own tab. PMad’s LiveBlog here. Click here to view mine as a separate post (if you haven’t already). For those who are confused, I’m going [...]

Live Blog: Game 2

Posted by Patrick on June 11th, 2006 filed in Live Blogging, NBA Basketball, NBA Finals

Nels has been detained with some important family stuff (been there myself – I missed one of my fantasy drafts last year with an anniversary… dammit), but, like Mario van Peebles, let’s see if I can do this thing solo.
9:02 – White pom-poms, a nice touch by the Dallas crowd. I don’t know if I’d [...]
