Props to the Ironmen
The summer blockbuster season is almost upon us. NBA fans have already had a few blockbuster games in the playoffs; that double-overtime game between San Antonio and Phoenix was incredible.
In this retrospective article, we praise the players that played every single game, a luxury all fantasy owners know is few and far between. There are quite a few surprises on this list.

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.

Beyond the Arc: Week 12
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Injuries, News, Props, Roto, Waiver Pick Ups
I dunno if anyone’s been following REAL basketball (I know, I know, we aren’t supposed to care about that) but maybe you should take a look at the standings. Some weird stuff is going on. Washington a four seed? What? Portland a three seed? Utah and Houston out of the playoffs? I know it’s early, but wow. Nobody called that in September and October. But good for those up and coming teams (although I’m not so sure you can call the Wizards that).
Anyways, I’m done ranting, here’s the slate of games for next week: (1/14-1/20)
The Fig Cap: How old are you anyway?

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.

Dropping Dimes on the Daily – November 20, 2007
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Disses, Editorial, Props, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups
The Daily finds what’s shiny each night, brushes off the dirt to reveal any blemishes and then makes a fair assesment in regards to certain players’ fantasy values.
Look at that man on the right. He looks like a natural. He’s so tall, so athletic and oozes potential the way Gilbert Arenas oozes cockiness. He dropped 24 points in 24 minutes last night and he’s center eligible. Sounds like you should act swiftly, right? Not if you know how Swift acts. Only a sucka would pick him up. And you’re not a sucka.
The Fig Cap: “I’m 100 Percent Pure Fool’s Gold”

Dropping Dimes on the Daily—November 19, 2007
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Editorial, Injuries, Props, Roto, Site Features
In the middle of last season, a new sheriff came to town and a new way of life was established in the East Bay. One of his past transgressions caught up to him and for that he had to endure his punishment. After seemingly a lifetime of exile (actual time missed: 7 games), the enigmatic Warrior returned to battle with designs for glory. With Golden State’s season spiraling out of control already, this savior’s return couldn’t have come at a more perfect time.
The Fig Cap: I’m only going to tell you this once

Only four teams were off on Wednesday, so there were plenty of numbers flying around box scores and some off-the-heezy lines for a few guys. Two guys made long-awaited returns, one had his second triple-double of the year, and a few others had monster rebounding nights. I’d say it was a good night for some stats.
The Fig Cap: CONCENTRATE LEBRON!!!

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.
