$1,000 Fantasy Tournament Closes Soon

by

Daily fantasy leagues are great. However, they will never replace traditional leagues, the ‘meat and potatoes’ of fantasy hoops. One-day leagues are more like dessert. Head-to-head caught on and passed Roto in popularity because it has a bit more action over the long NBA season. While both are games of skill, luck plays a larger part in H2H success, as it’s really a series of one-week “seasons.” If you’re a fan of action, enjoy testing your skill and understand that a

Bernucca: Forget the championship, Thunder want a “sustainable team”

by

When the Oklahoma City Thunder traded James Harden on Saturday night, they revealed to everyone that they are a team far more concerned with the bottom line than the top of the heap. Probably a bit ahead of schedule, the Thunder reached the NBA Finals last season. As we have said before, they were a questionable foul call away from opening a 2-0 lead on the mighty Miami Heat that would have cultivated the doubt and derision that has swirled around

Geltzeiler: Who Will Get Traded? Who Will Have Breakout Season?

by

As much as I enjoy the NBA, there is a tedium to the preseason that only makes me feel dissatisfied. I’m that much closer to regular season basketball, but yet I don’t quite have it, kind of like Al Pacino and his retirement in The Godfather 3. Nonetheless, as we enter a new season, I’m always looking for players who will emerge as stars. I also look at who has a realistic chance of getting traded. And then I like to

Tweet of the Day: James Harden

by

I would love to Thank Oklahoma City for 3 amazing years! Teammates and Fans were thee best. The love will always be there. Thanks Again. — James Harden (@JHarden13) October 28, 2012 This tweet pretty much speaks for itself, but something Harden might want to ask himself over the ensuing five years: Was it worth it for the extra $6 million? After coming soooo close to a championship, was it worth it to take a half-decade step back for an extra $1.2

SH Blog: Why did Harden-to-Houston happen, and what does it mean?

by

By now you’ve probably heard that the Thunder dealt last season’s NBA Sixth Man of the Year, James Harden, to the Rockets for three draft picks, rookie Jeremy Lamb, and guard Kevin Martin. It’s a bold move for rebuilding Houston, now banking on Harden becoming a franchise cornerstone, and a bit of a questionable one for the Thunder, who will still battle for a title this season, but will find that more difficult without Harden. The move comes after the Thunder

Hubbard: Wondering into the 2012-2013 season

by

As we get underway with the NBA season, we know we are in store for some wondrous action. We also  know in the majority of the 1,230 regular season games on the schedule, the entertainment will be wonderful. And we know acts of wonder by players will be performed regularly. But as the season begins, we are face with a different sort of wonder – the one of uncertainty. So as we predict and project, I find myself contemplating these mysteries. Call them the Twelve
