Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 3, PIck 11 - Carmelo Anthony
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Northwest Division, Denver Nuggets, Site Features, Talent
Overrated or underrated? Is it possible for a top five scorer in the league to be underrated? Though their games differ greatly, ‘Melo splits the fantasy nation into two camps similar to how Dwight Howard does. One camp sees the warts, the other sees the aspects of the game to push an advantage.
After the jump, let us see if this Olympian power forward has the game to help your team out this year win the gold.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 2, Pick 5 - Marcus Camby
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorial, H2H, Northwest Division, Denver Nuggets, Pacific Division, Los Angeles Clippers, Props, Site Features, Trades
The Fig Cap: Upon hearing news of his trade from the Nuggs to the Clips, Camby replied, “NOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Yeah, Marcus Camby is no longer a Denver Nugget, which absolutely makes no sense considering he was traded for an OPTION of a second round draft pick from the Los Angeles Clippers. Yes, Camby will be in the Clip Joint, but how happy will he be going from a playoff-caliber team that has the presence of Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony to a team that historically “messes it up.” Okay, so the signing of Baron Davis could work out very well for the Clips, but still… it’s the Clippers! Which is why I don’t understand how they got Camby for NOTHING! Yeah, I know… the Nuggs were shedding salary and clearing up cap space. Ugh… still ugly.
What WON’T be ugly, however, is getting the Camby Man on your fantasy squad.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 10 - Allen Iverson
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorial, H2H, Northwest Division, Denver Nuggets, Props, Roto, Site Features
Allen Iverson will be 33-years-old at the start of the upcoming 2008-09 NBA season, but does age really affect Allen Iverson? Well, “the answer” (sorry, bad pun intended) is an emphatic NO! Iverson seems to be an immortal on the hardwood and will be entering his 13th season in the league. Wow, so I feel old. I still remember when AI crossed over Michael Jordan in Iverson’s rookie year during the 1996-97 season. SICK! And, guess what? Iverson can still make it happen on the hardwood and therefore, your fantasy basketball squad.

Dropping Dimes Two-on-Two Tourney: Round 1, Games 9 and 10
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Site Features, Street Ball, Talent, Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, New Orleans Hornets, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz
To the three voters for the All-NBA team that did not name Chris Paul to the first team; you need to seriously have your head examined. Two voters picked Steve Nash instead and one vote went to Tracy McGrady. Come on, people! To pick Nash ahead of Paul means you have not watched ball since last season. The Hornets had a better record, Paul did more with less established talent around him, not to mention he had superior overall stats. As for McGrady, I guess it was a nod to the Rockets’ winning streak.
Nash was in action last week. Does he get to move on? Paul suits up this week, so check out who we have him partnered with? And the picture gives you a preview of who else is part of our hype match-ups this week!

Also see some science being dropped in the latest installment of Sarge’s Wire to Wire and Brandon’s Beyond the Arc. And if you have some extra idle time, you can think up all the different ways to interpret B’s Fig Cap.
For now we take a walk on the reality side to focus on the playoff races going on in the NBA. Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets have been surprisingly great all year; how deep into the playoffs will they go?

One crazy game filled with big lines, a few huge rebounding totals, and some surprise dime machines headline today’s DDOTD. How could we expect anything less than that on a nearly full slate of games on Wednesday? That, folks, is why Thursday’s editions are always the best.
The Fig Cap: This obviously wasn’t Wednesday night. Keep reading.

Yeah, so Saturday night wasn’t as fantasy jam-packed as Friday night. Big deal. It’s not every night we see multiple 20-rebound games. Still, a few guys stayed hot and went off last night.
The Fig Cap: “Yeah, hey Raja, can you miss about 75 more games? Thanks bud.”

Friday night had to be the best night so far in this early season for fantasy owners. How so? Keep reading my friend.
Some nice lines, a couple of injury returns, and one possible emerging backup headline today’s edition of Dropping Dimes on the Daily.
The Fig Cap: AK has been eating his, uh… whatever that is.
