First Look: Friday, March 6

Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Props, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Hornets, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trailblazers

Another ho-hum Thursday on TNT saw the streaking Hornets beat Dallas and keep the 8th spot insecure and Denver win at home against the (still) Greg Oden-less Trailblazers.  Of course, pickens are always slim Thursdays, but one line stood out above all.

Thursday’s best:   Gotta go with Chris Paul.  He had 27 points, 4 rebounds, and 15 assists.  More importantly, another win for the Hornets, their sixth in a row.  This win gives them the four seed, and for now, home court in at least the first round.

Thursday’s worst: We’ll go with Josh Howard, for sitting out the second half.  Certainly isn’t his fault, but that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt fantasy owners.  He still managed to jack up 10 shots (missing 7) in 18 first half minutes.  Not good news.

Keep an eye on:  JR Smith, who started Thursday.  This is one of those guys you always look at and say “wow, he got the short end of the straw being on his coach’s bad side.”  If he starts, 3 threes per game are possible.  But he likely won’t keep starting as long as George Karl is his coach.

What to watch for Friday:  We’re at the point where about half or more of the games on a nightly basis are interesting for playoff implications.  But one Friday night matchup stands above all else: Cleveland at Boston.  Oh yeah baby.

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft 2007: Round 2, Pick 9 - Allen Iverson

Posted by Ron Chow Categories: H2H, Northwest Division, Denver Nuggets, Roto, Site Features, Talent

If you told me last summer that Allen Iverson and Kevin Garnett would be traded in the next year; I would have asked you what funny tobacco were you smoking? If you also told me that I would be able to draft Allen Iverson in the second round of my fantasy basketball league to pair up with KG; I would asked you what silly juice are you drinking with your funny tobacco?  Fast forward today, Allen Iverson is a Denver Nugget and Kevin Garnett is a Boston Celtic (Check out the Dropping Dimes’ podcast of the KG trade.). In the Dropping Dimes mock draft, I was able to team up Allen Iverson with Kevin Garnett! Hey, do you have any stock tips?
