Southeast Division Preview Part I This is the last in our series of Division Previews. Kent weighed in on the Atlantic and Southwest, Bruce took the Pacific and Central and I looked at the Northwest earlier this week. When we discussed this idea and sought volunteers for each division, everyone wanted to do the Southeast. I can’t speak for Kent or Bruce, but I wanted to review this division because I just don’t understand what these teams are doing and thought some closer analysis would shed some light.  This includes the NBA

We have some good news and some bad news today. The good news is, we are only days away from the start of training camp, where all the madness of an NBA season will begin for our pleasure. The bad news? Some players are already down and out due to injuries – the buzzkill of the sport (of any sport). See why a couple of Grizzlies players are out for a while, who is likely to miss some or all

When you only write once a week in this space, it seems like a lot happens in the interim. Since I was last here, we’ve done a lot of work: Jeff has written about strategy and Kent has finished off our positional preview, sorted into tiers for draft planning. The last one was the toughest: the centers. Remember if you’re drafting soon, especially in a deep league, to stay familiar with our 2012-13 Depth Chart. Before I say anything else today, I want to

SF Tiers The two best players in fantasy hoops are small forwards. You can’t get both; they will go 1-2 in just about every league, for good reason. Which one to choose is more a matter of luck than fantasy expertise. Do you have first pick, or second? This is the third in a series. We’ve already looked at the best point guards and shooting guards. PF and C tiers will follow the next two days. Keep in mind that it’s very early

Preseason playoff picture: Eastern Conference

by

We already told you who we believe will make the playoffs in the Western Conference.  The picture in the Eastern Conference is a bit different. Just like the West, the East has six teams that are locks to play in May. They are the defending champion Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets, who last season weren’t in (a) Brooklyn or (b) the playoffs. You can find whatever real or imagined faults you’d like with those

Bernucca: Howard’s farewell tour should be a doozy

by

Earlier this week, our Mark Heisler reported that the Orlando Magic would be willing to wait until next summer to trade Dwight Howard if that is what it takes to get fair value for the superstar center. It’s hard to imagine Howard even coming to training camp with the Magic, let alone playing the entire season in Orlando, where he is slightly more popular than George Zimmerman and Casey Anthony. But what if he did? The NBA schedule was released Thursday, and more
