Injury Update: Jose Calderon Tears Thigh
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Atlantic Division, Toronto Raptors, H2H, Injuries, News, Roto, Talent
And you all wonder why I despise any sort of extra curricular basketball…
From the Toronto Star:
Jose Calderon will not play for Spain today in the Olympic men’s basketball semifinals.
The Raptor point guard has what’s being called a partial tear of the adductor muscle, an injury revealed after an MRI here on Thursday.
Toronto officials are following up with Spanish doctors to discover the severity of the injury, treatment options and a prognosis.
Obviously, there is plenty of time for Calderon to heal up. But with the Raps trading away TJ Ford, this is something that the team can ill afford. Don’t move him too far down your rankings quite yet, but Toronto’s assist machine will definitely be on the shelf for a few weeks.

When I think of huge arms in the NBA, I think of a few players. Shaquille O’Neal comes to mind. Who can forget the chisled arms of Karl Malone? Even “Thunder” Dan Majerle had some cannons.
Oh, and who can forget…um…

Stat’s All Folks: Let’s Get Spicy!
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: H2H, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Talent, Boston Celtics, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Bobcats, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trailblazers, Seattle Supersonics, Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings
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 through November 29th – December 5th.
POINTS
BULLISH
Eddy Curry, C, New York Knicks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 4 G; 25.3 PPG; 60.3 FG%; 60.8 FT%
I’ll admit and say that I was a non-believer. And to some degree I still am – I’ll chalk that up to me being a disgruntled Knicks fan. But, I simply could not believe that Eddy Curry scoring as much as he was the week before was the real deal. If Howie Mandel was in front of me, I would have emphatically said, “NO DEAL!” But, you can’t argue with seven games in a row of 20+ points because instead of Curry’s physique blowing up, his post game is. Buy into it because head coach Isiah Thomas has, recently saying that Curry was the key to the team and that’s music to every Curry owner’s ears. Hopefully it doesn’t turn out to sound like an American Idol tryout.
