Click on this banner to sign up for DraftStreet’s two-day NBA playoff fantasy leagues Please don’t tell me you got fooled by Roy Hibbert’s Game 7. One of us is enough. Yes, I took the big stiff and put $2 on the possibility that his disappearing act in the first round (along with the final 2 months of the season) was a mirage, and that $2 is now dead money. Hey, it’s only $2. I played three different teams yesterday
Click on this banner to sign up for DraftStreet’s two-day NBA playoff fantasy leagues So my second week as a fantasy writer ended with a profit of more than $300. We build on that this week and finish with a four-figure withdrawal, correct? Could have gotten there Sunday if not for my selection of Alan Anderson on one team and Tiago Splitter on another. Finished 51st and 78th out of 330 with lineups that included those “value picks”
Get a t-shirt with this Phil Jackson takeoff on the Obama/HOPE campaign by signing up for DraftStreet (first-time depositors only) There is no better way for a player to prove his worth than by coming through in a Game 7. And conversely, there is no better way for a player to show his lack of value that by coming up empty when both teams are facing a win-or-go home game. So in choosing players for DraftStreet’s two-day contests
Click on this banner to sign up for DraftStreet’s two-day NBA playoff fantasy leagues I bring good news to you today, both for myself and for y’all. First, y’all. You see that Phil Jackson t-shirt to your right, patterned after the Obama “Hope” campaign? It can be yours if you sign up for tonight’s fantasy contests and make a deposit. You’ll be wearing it next week — just in time for Steve Kerr’s hiring. And if you follow my
Click on this banner to sign up for DraftStreet’s two-day NBA playoff fantasy leagues Well, so much for yesterday’s theory — that the Clippers would be so wiped out from the Donald Sterling scandal, it would be a good night to go hard on the Warriors. But I am getting smarter as I move through my second week of fantasy writing (don’t ask). Understanding that my predictions are sometimes light years off, I fielded a hedge team in
Click on this banner to sign up for DraftStreet’s two-day NBA playoff fantasy leagues The Los Angeles Clippers weren’t mentally prepared for Game 4 of their first-round series against the Golden State Warriors, and it showed in their inattentiveness to defense in the first quarter. Will we see more of the same tonight in Game 5? That is my expectation, and I am going to try to use the Donald Sterling controversy to my advantage in the DraftStreet
Click on this banner to sign up for DraftStreet’s two-day NBA playoff fantasy leagues I don’t imagine Donald Sterling will be in attendance tomorrow night when the Clippers and Warriors play Game 5, and I expect Sterling’s team will put up a much better fight than they did Sunday in Oakland. But you know what else? I think the Clippers are finished mentally as a result of the Sterling scandal, and I am using that theory as
Click on this banner to sign up for DraftStreet’s two-day NBA playoff fantasy leagues So my first week as the fill-in fantasy writer is getting better. Two of my six teams in the Thursday-Friday contests finished in the money, and a third just missed. Furthermore, I have two teams in the $11 entry league for Friday-Saturday that are performing well. Unfortunately, or maybe not, one of those teams has Kendrick Perkins on it. Why do I say maybe not? Because
