Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 4, Pick 6 - Chris Kaman
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Pacific Division, Los Angeles Clippers, Site Features, Talent
This team needs a center. Dirk Nowitzki remains a very safe and reliable first round pick, but he lost his center eligibility years ago, his defensive stats have been in decline. Plus, although he picked it up at the end of the year, overall his three-point shooting is not enough of an impact to negate the lack of blocks and relative lack of rebounds. Baron Davis and Paul Pierce represent an exciting and formidable fantasy back-court. That next level tier of guards comes up in the fifth and sixth rounds, so it is a green light to go big here.
Currently this guy has an average draft position of 49.0 on Yahoo, so we tab him a bit earlier than that here at 42nd overall.
Round 4, Pick 6: Chris Kaman, C, Los Angeles Clippers
The Fig Cap: Hey Dirk, we get to roll together on this team just like Team Germany!

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 3, Pick 7 - Paul Pierce
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Atlantic Division, Boston Celtics, H2H, Site Features, Talent
In Dirk Nowitzki and Baron Davis, this team has a pair of versatile fantasy studs. So it is time to draft the “best player available,” right? But are you not always trying to draft the best player available? I suppose that double-talk came from the notion of not drafting due to positional needs or off-the-court issues.
This man continues to ride high on a championship wave. A little over a year ago, he wanted to be traded. Now people mention him as being hall of fame material. That’s the “Truth.”

Dropping Dimes Two on Two Tourney: Round 3, Games 1 and 2
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Site Features
Hey folks, sorry for the delay in posting the next match-ups. It’s summertime and sometimes the days just blur together.
It has been an interesting off-season thus far with a few trades, a draft that pretty much went as expected at the top, and some big free agent signings. Yahoo! has a little mock draft going on for anyone jonesing for some fantasy hoop material. I imagine our pick-by-pick mock draft blog will be starting up in the next few weeks, so stay on the lookout for that.
There were no comments on last week’s picks, so I’ll be putting my own two cents on the games this week, with a little help from one of our original writers, Ron Chow. Thanks for the assist, my friend. Let’s finish off the second round and move to the semi-finals.

Dropping Dimes Two on Two Tourney: Round 1, Games 15 and 16
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Site Features
Congratulations to the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers for making the NBA Finals! It’s a dream match-up that waxes nostalgia for those that discovered the league during the 1980s like myself. Kudos to the NBA schedule makers this year; up until now there was at least one playoff game on almost every night. The hype gets to build for another few days, which leaves everyone lots of time to make their Finals prediction.
Meanwhile, let’s see how I see this past week’s two-on-two match-ups. Then the last two games of the first round are presented.

Beyond the Arc: Week 20
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, Injuries, Props
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.

Dropping Dimes on the Daily – December 4, 2007
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Editorial, Props, Rookies, Roto, Rumors, Talent, Waiver Pick Ups
Cause I totally blew it with not getting up a Daily yesterday, I’m going extra big with tonight’s version. Please accept this humble offering with my sincere apologies and a pledge to do better next time. I suddenly feel like Tony Kornheiser. Um, yeah.
Anyway, a new name in fantasyland you’ll read about after the jump is this dude on the right, Jared Dudley. He now starts for Charlotte. He’s fun to watch. More importantly, his StatTracker line lighting up is fun to watch as well. Yeah, I know, but that’s what gets me excited these days.
The Fig Cap: I don’t have to wear warm-ups at the tip anymore!

Dropping Dimes on the Daily - 11.29.07
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Editorial, H2H, Roto, Site Features
On a night that pretty much lacked spectacular lines, there were a few that still stood out. No triple-doubles today folks. LeBron James got hurt. That’s why.
So did Chris Bosh, who deserves a mention, as he has been heating up nicely of late. Still, there was a surprise scorer, dime-disher, and more than a few rebounders, on a heavy slate of Wednesday NBA action.
The Fig Cap: You know, this has nothing to do with today’s DDOTD. Except that when I Googled LeBron, this is what I got.
