Valentine’s Day, the day of hearts, the day of LOVE! It’s time we at GMTR talked about NBA players we LOVE, from a fantasy perspective of course. I will go ahead and kick things off in the series with an NBA player that I simply “wub, wub, wub to bits!”
For me, this year, I definitely [...]
Line of the Night: Troy Murphy (1.04), in what I can only consider some trick of statistics was #1 last night despite shooting 38.5% from the field. He had 17 and 12 with 3 threes, 4 assists, and added 4 steals and a block. I guess I’ve said it before: The Player Rater loves defense… [...]
Read More..>>The rumored trade between the Pacers and Raptors involving Jermaine O’Neal for T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic and Toronto’s No. 17 pick is officially on. Well, kind of. Because of a league memorandum on trades, it can’t officially happen until July 9th, so we’ll all just pretend nothing has happened for the next couple weeks. These [...]
Read More..>>It’s actually kind of appropriate I guess, that I was reading this story about the world being torn asunder when I was pinged about today being 170 (or rather yesterday being 170, and today being the day recapping 170).
Line of the Night: Mike Dunleavy Jr. with a world-ending 6.04. See, this is the kind of [...]
I hate to be so quick to dismiss someone like Chris Webber, but this is a fantasy basketball blog, and if you really want to read people opining on the career that was, well, there’s plenty of other places where that’s happening.
Line of the Night: If you filled in yesterday’s madlibs with anything along the [...]
I think this post is now actually 1101 since Patrick has been cranking them like he’s… turning a crank. Like on a machine. That has a crank. That you turn.
Anyway… Thanks to the Fantasy Basketball Group on Ballhype, I was treated (Halloween reference) to this gem. Gilbert Arenas dropped Jamaal Tinsley’s face. Then Tinsley won [...]
Larry Bird is continuing the tradition of great players becoming disastrous front office executives (see Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas). Instead of working to acquire new players, Bird has apparently placed the Pacers 35-47 record solely on the shoulders Rick Carlisle. The Pacers fired Carlisle in April and replaced him with former Celtics and Sixers [...]
Read More..>>or: What’s up with that?
Maybe it just says something about my perspective on the league that when a guy misses three games in a row I don’t expect him to back for another 3 or more. Well, that, and there wasn’t any news or anything about Jermaine coming back.
But he did come back last [...]
It’s that time of year in fantasy basketball when injuries and missed games begin to destroy all the wonderful progress your fantasy team has made since November. Watch as the fantasy team you spent countless hours obsessing over while ignoring your job, wife, kids, and the outside world in general goes into the crapper in [...]
Read More..>>The Indiana Pacers are getting a lot of press this year for their off the court actions. During the preseason, Steven Jackson fired shots outside an Indianapolis nightclub and, more recently, Jamaal Tinsley and Marquis Daniels were involved in an Indy bar fight where Tinsley was ultimately charged with a felony. Getting far less press [...]
