Day 37 of 170: Where The Nets Go 0-18

Posted by Patrick on December 3rd, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, NBA Teams, New Jersey Nets

Line of the Night: Jason Kidd (1.38). No, we’re not just recycling Day 35 from Tuesday. The ageless Kidd notches his second line of the night in three days with 16 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 steals in a win over the officially historically inept 0-18 New Jersey Nets. The Mavs shot 80% [...]

Picking Up the Pieces: The New Jersey Nets

Posted by Patrick on October 4th, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, New Jersey Nets

This is part three of the mini-series that’s focusing on teams that were hit hard by the “Four Horsemen” (Injury, Salary Cap, Rebuilding, Bad Contracts) over the off-season.

Unlike some teams (say Houston), the Nets didn’t completely self-destruct this off season. Rather, in one of the first huge trades of the summer, the Nets said sayonara [...]

Day 150 of 170: Jason Kidd is not retiring

Posted by Nels on March 28th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, NBA Cheerleaders, New Jersey Nets

Line of the Night: Jason Kidd (6.42) pulled out the first 6+ I’ve seen in a while. Or at least that I remember seeing. And reality and what I remember can be two vastly different things. Kidd had 19 points on 6/11, 4/5 and 3 threes. He also has 15 assists, 4 rebounds (no triple-double??), [...]

Day 142 of 170: Vince Carter Still Matters?

Posted by Nels on March 20th, 2008 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, New Jersey Nets

The second in an ongoing series of randomly distributed Where Are They Now? posts.
Line of the Night: On a night when both Chris Paul and LeBron James played the game of basketball, neither of them had a performance that matched that of Half-Man Half-Retired Vince Carter (5.43). Carter has been sort of middling around in [...]

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. [...]

Attending a Boston Celtics Game Pre Kevin Garnett

Posted by Patrick on September 16th, 2007 filed in Author: Patrick, Boston Celtics, NBA Basketball, NBA Teams, New Jersey Nets

With Ray Allen and KG joining the Celtics this season, tickets to home games will no doubt be impossible or very expensive to get. I felt it important to document the pre Allen/KG game attending experience, so we can see how much things are about to change.
Or, in other words, I had these pictures sitting [...]

Oh, and a Carnival too… Let’s see what we gots…
I have voluntarily submitted [...]

The Eddie House All-Stars

Posted by Patrick on July 19th, 2007 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, New Jersey Nets

Not everyone can be the greatest. Sometimes it’s important to celebrate lesser achievements, like the Golden Globes or the time you got a gold star for not eating paste in kindergarten. So I present to you, the Eddie House All-Stars, a collection of talent that does the most with the least. What does it take [...]

Just a warning to everyone…

or: Just waiting for it all to go downhill
I’ve put Rasual Butler into my lineup this week. So, if you picked him up from free agency like I did, be warned. He’s probably only got 1 or 2 more good games. It was going well for Linus, JR, Bostjan, and Brian Skinner. [...]

NBA All-Star Dancers

So the NBA Dancer All-Star Team is set. Anyone else think it’s kind of lame that they made it all PC with one dancer from every team? Next year, it should be like the real All-Stars with everyone voting among all the cheerleaders in the league. I’m sure NBA.com would get a lot [...]
