It took overtime, 52 points from Kevin Durant and 31 by Russell Westbrook to finally subdue the Mavericks. KD’s career high came on 13-for-31 shooting, so it wasn’t a marvel of efficiency. Serge Ibaka (11 PTS, 14 REB, 2 BLK) played almost 45 minutes. [Read more…]

It’s become an enjoyable hobby to use the fantasy hoops knowledge that helps me manage those traditional teams to dabble in $2 and $5 leagues at DraftStreet. There are three types of drafts.

What a great effort by the Trail Blazers to force overtime, where they came up just short. Ty Lawson played through an illness (24 PTS, 11 AST) and Kenneth Faried (21 PTS, 11 REB) crashed the boards as Denver overcame a 4-for-16 night by Andre Iguodala to prevail. [Read more…]
We devote the vast majority of this segment to the $100,000 Salary Cap game, a very enjoyable and challenging way to play fantasy hoops every day. However, when there’s time, I try to enter a Snake draft or two, because live drafts are always interesting. [Read more…]
