Week 16 in fantasy basketball is going to get a little bit more funky than usual. Why? Well for starters, it’s the week that culminates in the NBA All-Star weekend.
This means that there are far less NBA games played in this week than any other during the season.
ONLY the Orlando Magic has THREE games scheduled [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: Dwight Howard (1.56) sought revenge for his upset in the dunk contest by throwing in 45 points and grabbing 19 rebounds against the Bobcats. He also had 8 blocks and after every one of them was noted to have said “Where’s your dunk contest now bitch??” He shot 23 field goals [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: Wow. Obviously, if you had a list that included Dirk, LeBron, Dwight, and Dwyane (yes, you should know them all on a first name basis), and Jameer, you probably wouldn’t have put money on Jameer (1.75) to have the best line of the night. But with his 23 points on 5 [...]
Read More..>>Okay, so the headline is kind of misleading since Brandon Roy was actually 30th out of 39 players last night. But watching his last-less-than-a-second shot crystallized the difference between fantasy and reality. There is a game we play, and it’s not always the game they play. But this blog is about the game WE play, [...]
Read More..>>While he didn’t have the Line of the Night, the oft-maligned (by us) Eddy Curry came up with 29 points on 11-14 shooting (and 7-10 from the line) to help the oft-maligned (by everyone) Knicks beat the (effed in the head) Bulls. Curry had a career high (I’m guessing) 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. It’s [...]

Addition by subtraction and then addition. That’s what the Magic did. They let Darko and Grant Hill go and landed Rashard Lewis. The Magic Dancers are hoping for the [...]
Read More..>>The NBA’s weekend of debauchery began today. Las Vegas seems primed to put it’s firmest… errr finest on display this weekend. The entire weekend seems to be a referendum on the ability for Las Vegas to host a pro-sports franchise. Anyone else find this amusing? How many citizens/potential fans of a Las Vegas professional franchise [...]
Read More..>>Thus far, this NBA season has been a calamity of injuries. Did NBA players stop treating anti-inflammatories like sweettarts? I am tempted to stop writing this article and start rampantly buying shares of stock in whoever distributes Naproxen, buy low baby. Here are some of the players who are watching their value skyrocket.
- Earl Boykins [...]
or: I should have kept a closer eye on LaMarcus Aldridge since I wanted him on my team and now it’s too late
Danny Granger (Ind – SF,PF) Add
Marvin Williams (Atl – SG,SF,PF) Drop
Something to think about here. Williams game is going downhill, but could bounce back. Granger has been playing well in [...]
With Jameer Nelson, the Magic had the second worst “best†fantasy player of any NBA team last season. But, unlike the team with the worst best fantasy player (I bet you can guess who they are) things are looking up for the Magic both fantasy-wise and in real life. I could go on about the [...]
