Thunder Fall Apart A lot of ridiculous things have happened this postseason, but the Los Angeles Clippers erasing a 16-point fourth quarter deficit to the Oklahoma City Thunder could take the cake. The Clips were in a near must-win situation but picked up a Game 4 victory 102-99, and evened the series up at 2-2. For an early afternoon tipoff in LA, the Thunder seemed well rested to start the game, breaking out to a 20-point first quarter lead. Hitting their first
With only two game days left before the NBA playoffs begin, literally anything can happen. Over the next two days, six playoff matchups will be determined. This is a crazy time to play fantasy basketball at DraftStreet. It’s unpredictable and a lot of fun because players will leave it all on the line to leave an impression over the summer. Tonight there are only two NBA games on the schedule. New York Knicks at Brooklyn Nets JR Smith will probably take 30 shots,
If anyone had Minnesota Timberwolves forward Corey Brewer on their DraftStreet fantasy team, chances are they money last night. In 45 minutes of action Brewer recorded 51 points in the Timberwolves win over the Houston Rockets. Maybe Minnesota is fine with Brewer as its star going forward and can let Kevin Love go to Los Angeles right now. Kidding. But seriously, great game. I picked Landry Fields of the Toronto Raptors on my fantasy team, that didn’t go so well.
Jonas Valanciunas was a monster Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers, just as I predicted. He is still a kid and no doubt totally embarrassed by the incident on Monday, which involved him getting arrested for drunk driving. He’s 21-years-old, new to Canada and new to the NBA. For all we know he played so well because he thought the Raptors would cut him over this incident. Yesterday I also added Trevor Ariza form the Wizards to my DraftStreet fantasy
I didn’t fare well last night with my DraftStreet fantasy team. It’s been a rough go for me in the fantasy basketball world. None of my players did bad, but none did particularly great either. Andre Drummond ($15,850) did well for me. Not his best game but he was still a monster. He had 19 points and 17 rebounds, as a reward I’ve picked him again on another team of mine. Trey Burke was a bit disappointing, he only managed
I might be talking crazy, purely out of frustration, but Roy Hibbert is overrated. On my DraftStreet fantasy team he literally took away my points, that’s hard to do. He finished with zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists, one turnover and five missed shots. Not to mention his team got trampled by the Atlanta Hawks in the game on Sunday. There might be an explanation to his poor play, according to Page Q sports, Hibbert had a falling off with
So Kyrie Irving scored 44 points last night. If you claim you knew that you’re a hardcore Cleveland Cavs fan or a bald-face liar. This rarely happens, but the NBA was put on the back burner and even the league knew that. Not one exciting matchup in the association, I guess the league knew best when they assumed the entire basketball world was glued to the Final Four. For the record, I called Kentucky to win. Now, on to fantasy. If
DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings somehow only managed to score 69 points against a battered Golden State Warriors team Friday. Andrew Bogut, David Lee and Festus Ezeli were all out and the Kings didn’t bother to attack the rim. I had Cousins on my DraftStreet fantasy team, he had 19 points and 11 rebounds. Maybe Sacramento was just anxious for Rudy Gay, who is currently anticipation the birth of his first child. But no one on the Kings
