Day 132 of 170: I dropped Thaddeus Young. You are welcome.

Posted by Nels on March 8th, 2010 filed in Author: Nels, Fantasy Basketball, Philadelphia 76ers

Line of the Night: Maybe I think this is just something that happens to me because I pay closest attention to my own transactions, but, I mean, really? The day I drop Thaddeus Young (1.29) he outplays Kobe Bryant (not in an actual game, just fantasy) for the Line of the Night. Of course, looking [...]

Predicting Allen Iverson

Posted by Patrick on December 4th, 2009 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball, Free Agency, NBA Teams, Philadelphia 76ers, Player News

Nels has already touched on the Allen Iverson to Philadelphia move in The Not-Quite-Post Iverson Post. It seems that we generally agree on Iverson’s fantasy value with the Sixers and – at least from the way I read the post – Nels kind of began to talk himself into Iverson a little by the end [...]

Oh dear. Turns out someone wanted him. I’m sure we all know by now, and some of us even expect some sort of analysis from their fantasy experts.
Here’s what Patrick said:
My half-assed prediction? About 30-33 minutes a game while Lou Williams is out – 15 points, 42% shooting [...]

Day 10 of 170: Where Brandon Roy Happens

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, [...]

Elton Brand Gives a Big Middle Finger to the Clippers – And Packs His Bags for Philly

Well, that was a quick moment of relevance for the LA Clippers. A week after Baron Davis opted out of the final year of his contract and signed a 5 year $65 million contract with Los Angeles, Brand has walked away from his verbal agreement with the Clips and, according to the LA Times, [...]

Sleeper Pick: Lou Williams

Passion and Pride does a sort of video comparison of Louis Williams against the 2008 draft prospects. The part that I find the most intriguing is that Williams is playing against people who are already in the NBA in his video, where as the draft prospects are shown against high school and college players. Of [...]

Day 69 of 170: The Day Iverson Dropped 38 on the 76ers

Line of the Night: Iverson’s (5.08) half of the abbreviated year of Independence was not enough to top C-But’s (aka Caron Butler) line last night (5.40). Butler’s 57% on less attempts put him just below Iverson’s 56% (more attempts), but Caroming Caron’s 4 steals was where he made up ground like Obama in Iowa. Both [...]

Fantasy Basketball Team Preview: Philadephia 76ers

I don’t really follow the 76ers, so it’s hard to come up with any good quips or analogies. But when Passion and Pride has posts about Hersey Hawkins and Question Marks, I don’t feel like I’m missing much. Of course, some of those question marks have fantasy relevance:

Will Sam Dalembert become a more consistent force [...]

Price Flucuation

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 [...]
