The Cavs Need Zero

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

So I was checking things out for the future after our game 7 loss, and it looks to me like next year is gonna be more of the same, it’s all weather or not Wally gets back to being a 16-20 ppg player again like he used to be. Ben’s ...

You Better ‘Aks’ Somebody

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Last nights third contest of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cavs/Pistons is the exact reason why others refer to me as, "FanProphet". I made a few comments regarding the outcome of game 3 and which players will "come up big" to help me take a 2-1 advantage in ...

Know Yourself, Opponents, and Situation

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

After the ass-kickin blowout Keir handed me in game 2, it left me wondering how in the heck I managed to let him get Boozer and Duncan, the top two players in the fast paced, high scoring, Western Conference Finals. I truly believed that I just threw my money away by allowing ...

Game 2 Complete

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Awww, a 45 point blowout!  After Tuesday night and monstrous performances by Duncan and Boozer, I figured I was in a world of trouble since the majority of my lineup is played in the defensive minded Eastern Conference. I simply do not know what to say.  Don't get me wrong, I ...

I’m In Trouble

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

I didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Tim Duncan and Carlos Boozer would have a great game. I wasn't too concerned about Duncan because just like everyone else, I knew he would have his typical double-double, block several shots, and pick up a couple of steals in ...

WANNA GET AWAY

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I learned something last night about Lebron James that I would have never imagined from such a tremendous talent and by far the best player to ever play the game at his age. That's right his age! For the first time in his NBA career while watching Lebron last night, ...

GAME 1 COMPLETE

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Well, going into Monday nights matchup between Detroit and Cleveland I knew I pretty much had my fantasy game under control and there was no doubt that I would win game one. That's what makes fantasy sports so great; Lebron and Billups can have horrible games and still look ...

GO CAVS

Monday, May 21st, 2007

How can anyone give the Cleveland Cavaliers only a 10-15 percent chance of winning the Eastern Conferece Finals? Being that I am an Akron, Oh native maybe I'm just biased in my thinking but the Cavs are as good, if not better, than the Detroit Pistons. Experience smerience! ...

HALF TIME

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

I guess it's considered half time right now for me and Keir's All-Star fantasy conference finals matchup. As it stands, I have a tremendous advantage thanks in part to Deron Williams' steller perfomance with his overall effort of 51 points. Ginobili also "chipped in" 39 as he outscored 3 ...

CONFERENCE FINALS

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Myself and a friend drafted our Conference Finals fantasy players. Each game is worth $20 for the first four games played by each conference. Each game thereafter is on a game by game basis. The overall winner gets an extra fifty dollars. Here's how the scoring system ...

WHAT A JOKE

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

How would you have liked to have Amare Stoudemire or Boris Diaw on your fantasy playoff roster only to see the duo suspended for going to help their teammate (Steve Nash) up after being crosschecked into the scorers table? You heard it right, crosschecked, and all they did was ...

FANTASY’S VERSATILIY

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Last night as I watched the Golden State/Utah game I learned that Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson were all having their own fantasy contest for the playoffs. Barkley was in the lead but Kenny and Ernie were relatively close. I didn't catch who their players were but ...
