The Missing Details Of The Draft Blog

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Site Announcements, Site Features

With half of the first round behind us, I thought it would be a “good” time to catch you people up on the draft order.  Of course, I probably should have done that BEFORE the draft.  All I can say is… oops.

In any case, I’m doing it now, so you’ll just have to live with the fact that I held out with this info longer than your high school girlfriend before you… yeah, you get what I’m saying.  And, be happy because I’m not even asking you to buy me flowers or talk to me everyday.  But, if you feel so inclined, I wouldn’t mind the attention.

The Premiere Post of Dropping Dimes

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: News, Old School, Site Announcements

Fantasy basketball… the Rodney Dangerfield of the three major fantasy sports.  For all of us hoop heads, it’s a sad state of affairs that basketball and its popularity has waned in the past several years due to various events - His Airness, Michael Jordan retiring, the U.S. Basketball team putting up poor performances in international play, Ron Artest vs. the Palace, and other things - and the NBA has almost gone the way of hockey.  Just not so popular anymore. 

But, with a great postseason from all its teams (except the Memphis Grizzlies) put behind us, Dwyane Wade with his NBA Finals show inching up to being as popular as LeBron James, who is perhaps the key to bringing back the popularity the NBA had while Jordan was playing, some great young players suck as Chris Paul, Adam “The Stache” Morrison around the league, and the chance for redemption starting with this summer’s World Championships, and the NBA can be right back on the map of the masses’ consciousness.  And us fantasy basketballers will be right there to ride the wave.

Hence this blog.
