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.

Prospect Pro Specs: O. J. Mayo
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: NBA Draft, Site Features, Talent
The NBA crowd did not get much of a chance to see O. J. Mayo in March as his USC Trojans lost in the first round to Michael Beasley and Kansas State. The hype around Mayo has been noticeable for a couple of years now. If not for the NBA’s age-related draft eligibility rule, chances are Mayo would have skpped out on the college experience to head straight for the pros.
Cue all the condiment jokes/references e.g. hold the mayo and all that. This guy’s gonna make a GM, a franchise and their fan base pretty excited for next year.

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?

So, yeah, this is the debut of this column. I hope everyone likes it, as I’m filling in for Dennis Velasco and his “Fantasy Jump-Off,” because he has decided to take a leave of absence of sorts from the fantasy basketball world for bigger and better things. Best of luck to Dennis, and a big thanks from me and anyone who has ever worked with the guy or read his stuff and used it.
The Fig Cap: Now that is a sweet ‘do.

Not too many games to choose from last night, but plenty of fantasy production went down - mostly before a National audience on TNT. Let’s stay strong and finish up the last weekday of the month…
The Fig Cap: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Fig Cap: Milk is chillin’... I am chillin’... What more can I say, top billin’.
For those of you that were waiting for the return of Dwyane Wade, to a lesser degree, Ron Artest, and to an even lesser degree, Stephen Jackson, your patience will be rewarded this coming week with a full set of games for the week. But before we get down with what individual players have been doing and could possibly continue to do, it’s time to peep the number of games each NBA team has going on in Week Four of the fantasy basketball season.
Also check out DroppingDimes.com’s Rankings for Week Four where we breakdown the top 20 players at each position!

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.”

2007-08 Preseason Shooting Guards Ranking
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Editorial, H2H, Injuries, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent
The Fig Cap: “Hey, D, you got a little mustard on your chin… yeah, right here. Maybe you should stop eating, chubby, and concentrate a little more on these rankings.”
When you think of a shooting guard, you think jumpers, dunks, and basically, a lot of points being scored. While all of that is true, in a fantasy basketball sense, you want players who do more than simply score and add to one to three categories. And when you look at the top shooting guards, you’ll find that they contribute in several categories. Surprisingly, the top guys in the two-guard game drop a lot of dimes, but maybe it shouldn’t be too surprising because basketball is a team game. For your reading pleasure, the top shooting guards who will help your team win the fantasy game.
