Since it’s New Year’s Eve, I’ll go out by saying that there are some subtle nuances to fantasy basketball that I still don’t understand. I believe that these aspects are mostly mental and emotional, though, which again shows why if you want to be a true winner in fantasy sports, you [...]

Day 47 of 170: In Which I Can't Really Be Sure

Posted by Nels on December 14th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Dallas Mavericks, Fantasy Basketball

Well, for those who wait for the daily GMTR rundown like Pavlov’s dog after a bell rings, I apologize. Patrick is without internet, and I had a family birthday party to attend, the preparation for which prevented me from being able to post the fantasy summary this morning. As a result, BasketballMonster has moved on [...]

Dirk is Down

Posted by Patrick on March 23rd, 2008 filed in Author: Patrick, Dallas Mavericks, Fantasy Basketball, Injuries

Time to get Dirk Nowitzki out of your lineups for next week. Looks like Nowitzki injured his left leg in the third quarter of today’s game against the Spurs. According to the Dallas Morning News:
Nowitzki was playing defense against a driving Ime Udoka. The pair collided in midair and Nowitzki landed on his left leg, [...]

Day 141 of 170: Dirk Nowitzki Still Matters

Posted by Nels on March 19th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Dallas Mavericks, Fantasy Basketball

I considered a question mark in the headline… but we’ll leave it as is. Dirk is #8 overall for the season according to NBA.com. But, I’ve never really hearted him, and I probably never will.
Line of the Night: Dirk Nowitzki came away with a 5.86 by scoring 35 points on 11/23 and 10/12 and 3 [...]

Day 108 of 170: Let the All Star Games Begin!

Line of the Night: Shawn Marion (5.64) continues to produce. Phoenix played last night, and I’ll admit I have to keep reminding myself that Marion is no longer with them. Marion is definitely contributing more to his new team than the guy he got traded for, but as the Heat lost their 24th of 25 [...]

Day 107 of 170: Devean George was the worst fantasy player who played last night

Posted by Nels on February 14th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Dallas Mavericks, Fantasy Basketball

Usually we start with the Line of the Night, but on this particular night, I feel like doing things a little different. No reason, really. Just feel like changing things up.
The Biggest Loser: Devean George (1.03) played 33 minutes for the Dallas Mavericks, and scored 0 points on 0-11 from the field and 0-2 from [...]

Go West, Old Man: Jason Kidd heading back to Dallas

Posted by Nels on February 13th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Dallas Mavericks, Fantasy Basketball, New Jersey Nets, Trades

The Exodus from The East continues… CBS Sportsline has a recap of the trade that is sending Kidd to the Mavs for Devin Harris. They also have some fantasy analysis, from which I plan to borrow liberally…
Don’t expect Kidd’s Fantasy value to change significantly in Dallas. He is still worth starting as a No. [...]

Spring Fling

or: Things to do in the off-season, when it’s not the off-season and you’re really just waiting for the Bulls to play in their first Eastern Conference Semifinal game since the Jordan Era
I’ve been meaning to post about this since I first went to Homecoming at my wife’s high school about 3 years, but never [...]
