Now there are clearly a couple different ways we could go with this… e.g., making fun of players by calling them actors (Manu Ginobili, I’m looking at you), but that seems a bit cheap, so I’m going to try to limit the number of easy jokes I make at the expensive of large egos. Instead, [...]

Day 111 of 170: The Trade Deadline Approacheth

Posted by Nels on February 15th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, NBA All Star Weekend, NBA All Star Weekend, Trades

Well, since yesterday was the All Star Game (which allegedly started at 7PM EST, but did not, in fact, start until 2 hours after that time, leading me to overindulge in both food and beer), there’s not a lot going on with the old fantasy basketball.
Patrick has already covered the big trade that went down [...]

Day 59 of 170: Merry Christmas to All, and Peace on Earth to Everyone Else

Posted by Nels on December 25th, 2009 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, NBA Cheerleaders

My Christmas gift this year was to draw the actual Christmas Day post. Since the NBA has gone the Hollywood route and realized that no one actually wants to spend time with their in-laws on Christmas, they need something to distract them. And what better distraction than Cleveland @ LAL? I’m sure the NBA was [...]
