Beyond the Arc: Week 17
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Roto, Sleepers, Waiver Pick Ups
Well, the week is over, so hopefully everyone won their matchups. Short weeks can either be a good pick-me-up if you need some wins, or a very bad ordeal if you have a good team that lost to an inferior one due to games played.
Let me preface this All-Star edition by saying I truly hope The Big Easy pulls this off. It’s probably going to be a big factor in whether basketball stays in New Orleans. Sadly, with the attendance figures down there, it’s looking like a negative. But I think if they can pull off a great All-Star Weekend, that may change. One can only hope.
The Fig Cap: The hometown All-Star came up short in the three-point shootout, but didn’t the rest of the week.

Chris Webber and Earl Boykins: Living On A Prayer
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Rumors, Talent, Golden State Warriors
♪♪♪♪...Oh…We’re Half Way There….♪♪♪♪
Almost as a little addition to yesterday’s Wire to Wire, I wanted to add two new names that you fantasy folks may want to keep an eye on: Chris Webber and Earl Boykins.
Webber has officially signed with the Golden State Warriors, despite many people still wondering exactly “why.” While Webber is undoubtedly older, slower and in all-around worse shape than he was a year ago when he gallivanted around Detroit, Golden State seems to be a breading ground for fantasy relevance. As of now, I think C-Webb will have more of a negative impact on the fantasy value of others (see Biedrins, Andris and Harrington, Al) - but this doesn’t mean he should be counted out. Don Nelson may make this thing work!

Just Because: The Official Steve Novak Watch
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Props, Site Features, Southwest Division, Houston Rockets, Talent
The Dropping Dimes crew has been a big fan of Shootin’ Steve Novak since his days at Marquette. We had some lofty expectations for the gunner coming into last season, but for some reason or another (cough, defense), things never seemed to unfold.
Well, with last night’s season high of 10 (ten!) points, I have officially decided to start the Steve Novak Watch for the remainder of this season. Check back early and often for updates. Okay, maybe not often as he seems to only play about once a month. Maybe this is the start of a new era, but only time will tell…
Games Played: 5 (9:41 mpg)
Field Goals: 9-15
3-Pt Field Goals: 7-11
Free Throws: 2-2
Points: 27
Rebounds: 8
Just Because: Seperated At Birth?
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Central Division, Cleveland Cavaliers, Editorial, Props, Site Features, Street Ball
I was fortunate enough to be about five rows back at last night’s Cavaliers game as they took on the Wizards. While the game was a blowout, this meant we were handed a lot of Damon Jones.
If you do one thing today, make sure it is a search for pictures from last night’s game as you’ll get to see Damon Jones’ new haircut. While he can be seen here giving Nick Young the business, I’ll try to find a better angle. It’s a sight to be seen.
With that said, someone tell me that Damon’s day job doesn’t involve playing the character Beetlejuice on the Howard Stern show…
Photographic proof after le jump…

Beyond the Arc: Week 12
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Injuries, News, Props, Roto, Waiver Pick Ups
I dunno if anyone’s been following REAL basketball (I know, I know, we aren’t supposed to care about that) but maybe you should take a look at the standings. Some weird stuff is going on. Washington a four seed? What? Portland a three seed? Utah and Houston out of the playoffs? I know it’s early, but wow. Nobody called that in September and October. But good for those up and coming teams (although I’m not so sure you can call the Wizards that).
Anyways, I’m done ranting, here’s the slate of games for next week: (1/14-1/20)
The Fig Cap: How old are you anyway?

Big thanks to The Cavalier over at YAYsports! for hosting the most recent edition of the NBA Carnival. Even bigger thank you for including Dropping Dimes in the mix. Go check it out here.
And while I’m here, I may as well let you all know of a pet project of mine called The Cleveland Sports Minute. Obviously, you’ll only be really interested if you’re in or around the Cleveland area. But you can at least humor me by clicking on this link and telling me what you think in the comments below.
Thanks, all.

Beyond the Arc: Week 8
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features
So, yeah, this is the debut of this column. I hope everyone likes it, as I’m filling in for Dennis Velasco and his “Fantasy Jump-Off,” because he has decided to take a leave of absence of sorts from the fantasy basketball world for bigger and better things. Best of luck to Dennis, and a big thanks from me and anyone who has ever worked with the guy or read his stuff and used it.
The Fig Cap: Now that is a sweet ‘do.

Just Because: Bossing Up
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Central Division, Cleveland Cavaliers, Editorial, Props, Street Ball
To send us to the weekend, I have to show you guys this video of Drew Gooden found over on ESPN.
Thanks to this clip, I know now the meaning of “Boss Up,” and that Drew rocks to Tears for Fears. Have a good one, all.
