NBA Top Yearly Performances

2008-04-17T15:49:00Z

It's over. The Fantasy basketball and the NBA Seasons are both over, and while I understand many of you are in your mourning period, the time to bookmark/save/photographically memorize information for next year is now, while it's still fresh. This way you can do your own research rather than relying on "experts" to tell you how to draft. (Oh wait; I'm an 'expert'. Darn it. Please still read my articles.) But you get my point, the more information you have going in, the...(read more)

NBA Top Weekly Performances - Power Forward - Final Edition

2008-04-14T01:54:00Z

We're at the very end of the Fantasy basketball season, and I hope you all did well. We've only got a couple days left to go, so let's take a look at how the top three power forwards did this week. Gold Chris Bosh - PF - Toronto Raptors - Great numbers this week for Bosh as the Raptors try to get on a roll before the playoffs start. He's been on fire over the last 11 games or so, and the streak seemed to start around the time that Bosh called out his teammates in the media for playing...(read more)

NBA Top Weekly Performances - Centers, Final Edition

2008-04-13T08:45:00Z

Serena Hays here, sitting in for TommyD on this final edition of NBA Top Centers. With a few tips from The Man himself, I was able to narrow this week's top performers down to three. I struggled with who to put in that third spot, however, and so I have an honorable mention at the bottom. Let's see who helped you win that championship, here are this week's Top Centers: Amare Stoudemire, PHO: Amare may be playing at the four with Shaq on the court, but he still runs the post and he's...(read more)

Well, folks, Championship week is coming to a close and that means it's the end of fantasy basketball for everyone. I know you are sad to see the season go, as am I, but there's always next year. Let's take a look at some guys who helped you win your league this week. I've got three small forwards for you, and an honorable mention that I couldn't leave out.

NBA Top Weekly Performances - Shooting Guards, Final Edition

2008-04-13T07:47:00Z

Now that Championship week is drawing to a close, it's time to look at some players who helped you get that victory. I've got three shooting guards who played amazingly last week, plus an honorable mention at the end because I had a tie-breaker that threw him off the list. Here are this week's Top Shooting Guards: Jason Richardson, CHA: Charlotte is out of playoff contention, but Richardson and teammate Raymond Felton haven't slowed down a bit. Gerald Wallace is done for the season...(read more)

NBA Top Weekly Performances - Point Guards, Final Edition

2008-04-13T06:58:00Z

Serena Hays here, sitting in for TommyD on this final edition of NBA Top Point Guards. With a few tips from The Man himself, I was able to narrow this week's top performers down to three. I struggled with who to put in that third spot, however, and so I have an honorable mention at the bottom. Without any more rambling from me, let's see who helped you win that championship. Here are this week's Top Point Guards: Chris Paul, NOH: If you aren't a believer in CP3 by now then there is...(read more)

NBA Busts of the Week - Who Failed You in the Championship?

2008-04-12T09:28:00Z

Championship week is just about over, and I bet you can name a few players who played horribly this week and prevented you from winning. Well guess what? So can I! I don't have any "superstars" this week, but I do have three guys who normally give you a good performance, and normally lead their teams to victory. Call it exhaustion at the end of the season if you want, but these guys just played awful last week. Here is the final edition of NBA Busts of the Week for the 2007-2008 fantasy...(read more)

NBA Stock Market - Championship Finals

2008-04-11T16:04:00Z

It's the last Stock Market of the year, and the last chance to poke fun at your fellow owners! No, in all seriousness, it's your last chance to see what the thinking of Fantasy leagues are, and how trends are affecting add/drops. There are 5 full days left in the season (it goes until Wednesday the 16th), so it might be possible to snag some very late help if necessary. It also may be a good indicator as to the action going on in your league, and may give you a hint as to who to look for...(read more)

NBA Status Check - Championship Finals Edition

2008-04-10T17:34:00Z

Well, it's that time ladies and gentlemen; the end of the year is upon us and for that reason, this will be the final regular edition of NBA Status Check . This is one of the more fun columns I do, mainly because I get to bash players; but outside of that, it gives you folks an idea as to who is worth what they're really worth, especially during trading season, so you don't get bamboozled. Fear not, however, Status Check junkies; there will be a year-end/year-in-review-type version of...(read more)

NBA Fantasy Minute - Championship Week

2008-04-08T23:18:00Z

With Championship Week underway, this is the final edition of NBA Fantasy Minute and I plan to bring you the latest news and information on your star players. With your lineup already set, there are certain things you can expect this week from certain players. Here's what's on tap: 1. LeBron James' bad back. The Cavs have been more reliant on LeBron James this year than in previous years due to the amount of injuries sustained by the team. Now their star player has been held out of back...(read more)

NBA Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Championship Finals

2008-04-07T21:14:00Z

It's the last Start 'Em Sit 'Em of the season (last active one anyway) and it's likely the more important. If you're gunning to win your league's championship you'd better work your lineup just right to maximize every last number from what you have. Bear in mind that the NBA has decided to "cluster" games in the early part of the week (due to the NCAA Final Four) so it's huge figuring out who goes in what spot when you have four players to wedge into two...(read more)

NBA Waiver Wire - Championship Finals Week

2008-04-07T18:52:00Z

Well kids, here's the last week for an active Waiver Wire , and I know you're all terribly broken up over that. I know the Wire has been good for me this season, and I hope it's been good to you as well. I'll be back next week with my "Waiver Wire All-Stars" column along with potential draft spots for next year. It'll be one you'll want to bookmark, because it will save you time when doing your late-round draft research in October when we get to do this all again...(read more)

NBA Buy 'N Sell - Championship Finals

2008-04-07T18:50:00Z

Tommy D in for Zach Powell this week, and although there won't be much buying and/or selling this week, it's important to take a look at your own lineup and make sure that the players you have starting are the ones who should be starting. There are a lot of days this week where every team, it seems, plays on the same day, so it's a big challenge when there are several players competing for the same spot. That's why we're here. Let's take a look at who you should be high on...(read more)

NBA Top Weekly Performances - Power Forwards

2008-04-06T23:43:00Z

Welcome to one of the last versions of NBA's top PF performances. We're racing towards the end of the season -- who is going to come out on top? Gold Kevin Garnett, Boston : Making a late MVP run, Garnett has helped the Celtics accomplish something nobody thought was possible at the end of last season - 60 wins. Nothing fancy from Garnett this week but simply solid all across the board. Averages of 17ppg and 11 rebounds put him at the top of forwards this week. His shooting percentage shoots...(read more)

NBA Top Weekly Performances - Small Forwards

2008-04-06T20:25:00Z

It's Championship week in Fantasyland, and I'm here to tell you who helped you make it in. The players didn't make it easy for me this week either. It seems like everyone is on top of their game in preparation for the end of the regular season, but I narrowed it down to three players who out-performed everyone else at their position. Here are this week's top small forwards: Gold LeBron James, CLE: LeBron is doing what LeBron does best: carrying Cleveland into the playoffs. Last week...(read more)
