Allen’s 22 Helps Celtics Overcome Foul Disparity and Push Streak to 14

By ⋅ December 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

For almost three quarters, nothing was going the Boston Celtics’ way. The Philadelphia 76ers were playing a switching, active and stingy defense that confused and offset the Celtics offensive ball movement. Even when the Celtics got good looks at the basket, the ball always seemed to rim out at the last second, leading to under [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 18

Every Monday, I will report on the events of the past week of fantasy basketball. I will go over each position and what particular player that week stood out from all the rest. As always, I will start off with this week’s notable injuries to report on. Injuries Shaquille O’Neal (C), Cleveland Cavaliers The Cavs’ [...]

Celtics’ Win Streak Ends at 11

By ⋅ December 19, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

All winning streaks have to end at some point or another. For the Celtics, theirs ended after 11 games, their longest streak of the season. It’s just too bad it had to come from the Philadelphia 76ers at home in a 98-97 loss on Friday night. With the loss the Celtics fell to 20-5 on [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 5

By ⋅ November 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Man, I had some bad matchups in some of my leagues last week. They were almost as bad as Tiger Woods’ driving…BA-ZING!!!! No, seriously though, they weren’t too bad, I just needed an excuse to make a Tiger woods joke. I hope you enjoyed it. Hey, he wasn’t injured, therefore it is OK to make [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 4

By ⋅ November 23, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

Uh-oh, I committed a cardinal sin for any fantasy owner. I missed setting my lineups in one league this week, and as a result, I lost 5-4. Any serious fantasy sports player will tell you that the #1 rule is to never forget to set those lineups. Hey, I’m human baby, I make mistakes. More [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 3

By ⋅ November 16, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I’ve been slightly disappointed with my teams over the past two weeks because I am just barely squeaking out 5-4 wins. I’d like to be winning by 6-3 or more, but in the end, winning is winning. After all, when playoff time rolls around, a 5-4 win is just as good as a 9-0 win. [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 2

By ⋅ November 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I hate basketball streamers. They are worse than people who stream pitchers in a baseball league. In one of my other leagues, there is a guy who has been streaming for four or more seasons, and it has resulted in four straight finals appearances and a championship. I personally don’t advocate streaming, I think a [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Championship Week

By ⋅ April 16, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

One valuable lesson was learned for the Championship Week matchup in the Sports of Boston Friends and Family League. I was facing Shotgun from The BlueWorkhorse for all the marbles in the first annual league championship. Our teams were strong (obviously), but I was rotating three roster spots due to injuries by streaming players through free [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 15 (2-2 – 2-8)

By ⋅ February 10, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Chances are, one owner in every single fantasy basketball league is in a foul mood. He/she may be adjusting their “smack talk” (for you Yahoo! users out there). They may be making angry posts in your league’s message board. They also may be making trade offers with owners who have no idea that Timberwolves stud [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 14 (1-26 – 2-1)

By ⋅ February 3, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

I hope saying the following will not diminish my fantasy status but, is there WNBA fantasy? If there is, I have never heard of or seen it. If it exists, then I wouldn’t play it. I’d rather participate in fantasy NASCAR. Do enough people really have enough in depth knowledge of the WNBA in order [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 12 (1-12 – 1-18)

By ⋅ January 20, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

That’s it: we need to get the trading season started in the SoB Friends and Family League. My colleague Pete alleged that everyone is satisfied with their team, which is why there hasn’t been any activity. If you’re a team in the top 6 of your league, you should be satisfied, and it would be [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 8 (12-15 – 12-21)

By ⋅ December 23, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Just thought I’d use this time to take a cheap shot at SoB’s Dan. In another league, Dan was so optimistic and cocky that he had the best team that he guaranteed that he would not only make the playoffs but, he would win his matchup every week. He claimed to have no holes in [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 6 (12-1 – 12-7)

By ⋅ December 9, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The lesson for this week’s Fantasy Basketball Review is to always…ALWAYS set your rosters. There are a few ways to do it: you can set your roster for the week if you don’t plan on making any pickups, or you can set your roster everyday. Usually, I elect option B, but I missed on day [...]

Celtics Manhandle 76ers in 102-78 Win

By ⋅ November 29, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

This one was in Boston’s hands from the get-go and the Celtics never let up, cruising to their seventh straight victory by a final of 102-78. The 76ers really had no chance at all and it seemed that they just gave up by the time the second half had started. The Celtics held the 76ers [...]
