Dropping Dimes One-on-One Tourney: End of Second Round
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Site Features, Talent
Here’s hoping your 7/7/07 day was full of luck…because Friday the 13th is just around the corner! Whether you partied it up by attending a wedding, or you sat at home watching the Live Earth concert, here’s hoping you are now for some one-on-one action today! KG is still in Minnesota (for now) but he is raring to go.
On a separate note, our second annual mock draft blog is set to launch later this week. We hope that by starting a month earlier than last year, we will be able to crank out at least a couple more rounds by the time October rolls around.

Dropping Dimes One-on-One Tourney: Games 11 and 12
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Site Features, Talent
Cue the music! Nothing gets me pumped like classic Rocky! Our fight card as usual features two great contests, but first we survey what has transpired over the past week!
And if the Rocky vs. Drago reference does not give you a hint, this week the theme involves a USA-homegrown player versus someone from international lands! Perhaps there is a bit of the underdog versus the intimidating champ, but which is which? You decide!

Dropping Dimes One-on-One Tourney: Round 1, Games 9 and 10
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Site Features, Talent
With Games 7 and 8 wrapping up, our one-on-one tourney finds itself halfway through the first round! So far the winners include Kobe Bryant, Gilbert Arenas, and Tony Parker. Unlike the conference semi-finals, Shawn Marion gets to move on with Tim Duncan.
The buzz has been about how suspensions to Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw tainted the Spurs-Suns series. Also it has come to light what a cheap shot artist Bruce Bowen is. And I do mean artist...he’s the Picasso of the gut punch! Have no fear as Bowen did not receive an invitation to our tourney. But I do have him pictured defending one of our contestants, someone who has gone on record saying just how much he appreciates Bruce’s play.

Stat’s All Folks: He’s Playing Better Than The Quality Of His Shoes
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Disses, Free Agency, H2H, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Sleepers, Waiver Pick Ups
Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks.
I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.
Note that you won’t always see the superstar player written about in this column, otherwise it would be LeBron James or Steve Nash every week. So, check out who’s bullish and who’s bearish coming into the week.
Statistics are from February 23rd – March 1st.
POINTSBULLISH
Stephon Marbury, PG, New York Knicks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 4 G; 23.0 PPG; 46.8 FG%; 78.6 FT%
Marbury has been playing like the Starbury of old, the self-proclaimed “best point guard” in the NBA. It’s funny how that was statement was associated with Steve Nash who then went on to back-to-back MVP awards. However, this is not to bash Steph, but to praise him. In his last four games he’s scored at least 22 points and with backcourt mate Jamal Crawford, the only consistent Knicks guard this season, possibly out for the season, you can expect Marbury’s value to keep rising, especially with the Knicks having a chance at the playoffs thanks to playing in the Leastern Conference.

Stat’s All, Folks: Redd Is Back!
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Disses, H2H, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups
Thanks to All-Star weekend, there is a small sample size of games to draw from, so I’ll tweak it up a bit this week by highlighting players and giving you blurbs for each one. There will be no suggestions for players to keep an eye on or ones you shouldn’t believe the hype for. However, I think you’ll live and all will still be well in your fantasy basketball world… unless you own Dwyane Wade. Read on at your own discretion, but you may need some tissues.
Statistics are from February 16th – February 22nd
POINTSBULLISH
Michael Redd, SG, Milwaukee Bucks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 2 G; 27.5 PPG; 43.5 FG%; 72.7 FT%
Much to the relief of the Bucks and many fantasy owners alike, Redd is back on the court and he’s pretty much picking up where he left off. It was a little bit shaky in Redd’s first game back as he “only” scored 17 points shooting an ugly 7-for-18 from the field, but his performance the following night allayed any fear. On the second night of a back-to-back, Redd scored 38 points in 40 minutes, including hitting six three-pointers. That performance shows that Redd may be getting his game legs and wrists back sooner than later.

The Fig Cap: The Kansas City Royals may stink, but Brandon Roy’s game definitely does not.
