The Fig Cap: “I fell to fourth?  FOURTH?!?!”

So, somehow, this little fantasy basketball blog of ours was able to get into this group of experts for some mocking.  We feel we held our own and were happy to join the banter as the draft moved along.  NOTE: Matt Buser made a comment along the lines of Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry bringing the Knicks back to prominence.  As a realistic Knicks fan I took umbrage… apparently, I was the only one that didn’t get that Buser was kidding.  Check out his Curry Line.  Sometimes I take my Knicks TOO seriously.  I’m such a dummy.

Anyway, you’ll also see Sarge in the mock repping Sports Grumblings, which you should definitely check out AFTER DroppingDimes.com of course.  In any case, since Sarge knows my tendencies (Take it easy out there… I meant draft tendencies), he was actually predicting some of my picks in the draft chat.  I’m convinced he’s my fantasy sports hetero-lifemate.

“This is not—as media reports have said—because Milwaukee, as a city with very few Chinese people, is not good for Yi’s commercial development,” Chen said. “Rather we want to find a team suitable for Yi’s growth. That’s the root of the problem”

Well, even with this news being denied by Milwaukee, there will undoubtedly be some fantasy fallout.
