Beyond the Arc: Week 22

Description
The playoffs are here!  Put down your bracket and pull out your fantasy league’s bracket.  Now’s the time to buckle down, make no mistakes, and take home the trophy.  Make sure you check your team twice or three times a day.  Drop guys who aren’t producing: there’s no more waiting around to do.  Don’t be afraid to bench a star who is playing two games if you can cover his spot with good production.  And if it’s Wednesday and you are big in the hole, start streaming.  These are the strategies that win leagues.

Let’s jump into the schedule for next week (3/24-3/30):

The Fig Cap: That’s cute.  So is Lamar’s recent production.

Alright, so this is the last week of most league’s regular seasons.  Hopefully you’ve locked yourself up a few top seeds or have at least clinched your spot in the playoffs.  If not, well here’s to hoping you do so very soon.  This may be the time to start streaming, so keep your head in the game this week if you need a big win.  Streaming can save playoff lives.

But without further adieu, here is the schedule for next week (3/17-3/23):

The Fig Cap: You still suck Tony.

I think over the last few weeks, the NBA fan has taken over me and pushed the fantasy fan aside.  I mean, if you are a true sports fan, how can you not be on the edge of your seat as we enter the last few weeks of the regular season?  At the time I’m writing this (Friday afternoon, before the games) only seven games separate #1 from #9 in the West.  And #10 isn’t out of it yet either.  This is great.

Have we seen a better race to the finish in any sport?  Baseball is always close because so few teams make it.  But could a team sitting in 9th today end up in the Finals?  It’s not out of the realm of possibility.  This year was a HUGE win for the NBA.  They stayed away from any controversy (Spygate and steroids anyone?) and pulled off a huge humanitarian effort/All-Star Weekend.  What a great year it’s been and kudos to David Stern and all his people in the league office.

Let’s jump into the schedule for the next week (3/10-3/16):

The Fig Cap: Maybe some of this hot action will get KG in the mood, er, groove.

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?

Beyond the Arc - Week 9

(Editors Note: Brandon is traveling this week, so I’m just publishing his work from this weekend.  Do enjoy.)

Will Pau Gasol's Game Return This Week? Aloha from Hawaii!  I’m here on the Garden Island Kuaui just before the holidays.  If you plan on flying somewhere for the holidays, I pity you.

Does it seem to you guys like fantasy basketball season is entering that “ho-hum” stage every fantasy season eventually enters?  Maybe it’s just me, but things seem really boring in the NBA.  Let’s blame the Mitchell Report and football playoffs for that.  In any case, here we are in the event you’ve become too bored with it to pay much attention as the holidays approach us.

Jamario Moon

Despite the Raptors/Pistons game starting in the middle of the day, the moon was shining brightly. Jamario Moon that is. In case you’re late to the Moon party, the undrafted 27-year-old rookie has started the Raptors last eight games at small forward and his athletic play is getting him noticed. Yesterday, the 6-8 forward erupted for the best line of his brief NBA career with 15 points, 9 boards, 3 steals and 6 blocks in the matinee victory. More info abou this Good Moon Rising after the jump.

The Fig Cap: His vertical leap is beyond all measurement. Don’t question it!

Stack Jack sheriff

In the middle of last season, a new sheriff came to town and a new way of life was established in the East Bay. One of his past transgressions caught up to him and for that he had to endure his punishment. After seemingly a lifetime of exile (actual time missed: 7 games), the enigmatic Warrior returned to battle with designs for glory. With Golden State’s season spiraling out of control already, this savior’s return couldn’t have come at a more perfect time.

The Fig Cap: I’m only going to tell you this once

Andrei Kirilenko… MAC

The Fig Cap: Milk is chillin’… I am chillin’… What more can I say, top billin’.

For those of you that were waiting for the return of Dwyane Wade, to a lesser degree, Ron Artest, and to an even lesser degree, Stephen Jackson, your patience will be rewarded this coming week with a full set of games for the week.  But before we get down with what individual players have been doing and could possibly continue to do, it’s time to peep the number of games each NBA team has going on in Week Four of the fantasy basketball season.

Also check out DroppingDimes.com’s Rankings for Week Four where we breakdown the top 20 players at each position!
