Fantasy 30 Team Review: Detroit Pistons
Posted by Ron Chow Categories: Central Division, Detroit Pistons, Props, Site Features, Talent
The Detroit Pistons ranked number four in our inaugural Fantasy 30. It has been about a week since Allen Iverson played his first game with his new team. Has there been enough evidence to see how things will shake down from the fantasy perspective? Let us take a closer look at the fantasy landscape with the “new” Detroit Pistons.

Playoff Primer 2008: Eastern Conference
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Atlantic Division, Central Division, H2H, Roto, Southeast Division
Hey. It’s been a long time. Too long. Props to Sarge and Brandon for holding down the fort as best as they could. Things have been pretty good from my end, except for the fact I haven’t made the time to drop some dimes. The 2007-08 fantasy NBA season has been a downer for me; in my main league my draft crop included Gilbert Arenas, Andrea Bargnani, Randy Foye and Nene, which gives you a good idea where my season is going.
But enough about me and my pity party. Week 18 starts tomorrow. The playoffs start in Week 22. If you have a cushion and are looking to gear up for the playoffs, you’re going to want to check this. We are going to look at every team’s schedule during those key playoff weeks and break it down for you. Use this summary to your best advantage, especially if your league’s trading deadline has not passed.
Let’s start with the Eastern Conference and I’ll try to post on the Western Conference soon.

Dropping Dimes Draft Blog: Round 5, Pick 8
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Central Division, Detroit Pistons, H2H, Props, Roto, Talent
With this team starting the season with Elton Brand, Pau Gasol
, Lamar Odom, and Peja Stojakovic, it is time to start building the backcourt. Taking this as a real-time situation, my second round pick will be down and out until the New Year. If this happened to you while doing a messageboard or e-mail draft, hopefully you had enough rounds left to take a reasonable stab at adjusting to Pau’s unfortunately injury.
There are some young point guards with sizzle to their name heading into this year. However, I want to ensure I have a solid core I can rely on. Forced to try and get lucky with the waiver wire to make up for the loss of Gasol, I want as many players on this roster where I can just put them into the lineup and not have to think about them anymore.
Round 5, Pick 8: Richard “Rip” Hamilton, SG, Detroit Pistons

Round 2, Pick 9: Rasheed Wallace, PF/C, Detroit Pistons
While jumping on a run of player positions isn’t exactly the smartest thing to do in fantasy sports, ‘Sheed isn’t your average big man. He doesn’t crash the boards like a Kevin Garnett, he doesn’t dominate in the post like a Shaquille O’Neal, and doesn’t throw down two-handers like an Amare Stoudemire. What he does do is play in at least 79 games a season in each of the last two years and rack up stats that very few seven-footers can provide.
