Manu Ginobili
The Thunder are obviously still the best team in the West. There is not much debate there in my mind. However, tonight was a massive statement game by the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs played without Manu Ginobili and newly acquired Stephen Jackson, and still beat the Thunder by 9 points in Oklahoma City. Tony Parker continued his amazing year, and Tim Duncan pulled down 19 rebounds. Not to mention, Danny Green had 21 points and 5 steals. The

Fantasy Spin: Wednesday March 14

by

Klay Thompson started in place of the traded Monta Ellis, and scored 14 points. His value goes way up, but the Warriors may also unleash Stephen Jackson, potentially a great pickup if he’s been dropped. Nate Robinson started for Stephen Curry (foot, ankle) and had 17 points. Andris Biedrins also regains some fantasy value with Ekpe Udoh joining Ellis in Milwaukee. The Kings may have been overconfident, a luxury they can’t afford In Other News TOR @ CLE: Slowly but surely, Andrea

Manu Ginobili
I’m a huge fan of Ginobili. I love his style, and love what he brings to the court. He gives 120%, and can do everything that is required out of an NBA player. With that said, when I watched him break his hand (which I actually saw live), I considered the Spurs season to be all but over. I pictured them finishing around the bottom four of the West and flopping in the playoffs. Suffice to say, the Spurs

Rondo replaces Curry in Skills Challenge

by

Two days ago, Rajon Rondo had nearly a week off for the All-Star break. Now he’s an extremely busy man. The star point guard of the Boston Celtics, added Wednesday to the Eastern Conference All-Stars as an injury replacement for Atlanta’s Joe Johnson, will also fill in for injured Stephen Curry of Golden State in the Skills Challenge on All-Star Saturday. The NBA announced the move Friday, hours before media availability begins in Orlando, Fla. Sheridan Hoops is on site and will

Heat shut down Lin; Thunder make statement to Lakers

by

The story of Jeremy Lin has been that of a fairy tale, an unscripted movie, since he took over the reins of the Knicks some three weeks ago. Capturing the hearts of basketball fans around the globe, he answered all questions and exceeded all expectations one big game after another, be it Kobe Bryant or the NBA champs. On Thursday, Lin faced LeBron James and the suffocating defense of the Miami Heat. The best team in the league came prepared to

Fantasy Spin: Wednesday, Feb. 22

by

A chance to win a 12th consecutive game was not as important to the Spurs as getting a night of scheduled rest for Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. With rookies Cory Joseph at PG and Kawhi Leonard at PF, they lost to the Blazers by 40 points. Even D-League callup Eric Dawson played 31 minutes off the bench for San Antonio in one of those games that should be completely ignored by astute fantasy owners. It did mark the first
