Finals week coming. Gotta study. AAHHHHH!!!
I got dodger tickets against the chicago cubs for the family and I. Pretty smart move on my part, I think, getting them cheaply over at dodger stadium where hopefully we can move up if it's not capacity whereas it'd be standing room only at wrigley.
In the NBA playoff game that I'm in, I can't seem to stay consistent. I'm doing okay, I guess, 93% of all the nba.com players, but have had some bad performances.........lamar odom 20pts ( this is including pts, rbs, assts), baron davis 29 pts, vince carter 26 pts. I've also had just insanely good nights w/ carlos boozer putting up 59, kobe w/ 57, etc............eh whatever, because the main concern is.......
The Bulls swept the Heat! Yea, they did it! Going into the series w/ the heat being the defending champs and all, i gave the bulls like a 60-40 chance of winning it. But did they ever win........every game i saw they battled back and really put the clamps on the heat in key stretches. It wasn't even like last-second shots mattered in this series. The bulls had the game going into the last minute in every one. Pistons next.
Lakers are done. 3-1 to the suns. They need to rebuild next year if they wanna keep kobe/phil.
Spurs + nuggets? I stuck to the spurs even after game 1 loss, and they're rewarding me. They'll be fine.
Golden state is just giving dallas everything they can handle. It'll be 2-2 after tonight, but still.......i'm very surprised. Dallas should be worried.
That jason bay trade from last week WAS vetoed. However, that j-roll trade's not looking QUITE as good after j-roll had a great week, highlighted by TWO stolen bases today. Urg. This better pan out over the course of the year................

Da Bulls
Bulls win! Bulls win! Chicago's up 2-0 on defending champs Miami Heat.
Picked Carlos Boozer Monday night in that aforementioned drive to playoffs league. He picked a good night to go nuts, going 41-16-2. Wow. Picked Lamar Odom in Game 2 in Valley of the sun tonight.
I think San Antonio will be fine vs. Carmelo and the nuggets. I think either they or the mavs will take this w/ the rockets as the dark horse. That being said, the suns will prolly be celebrating in june.
Traded Jason Bay and Tom Glavine for Felix Hernandez. Probably a hasty trade on my part. It's still pending, i vetoed it myself. Heh. Carl Crawford tonight: 4-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 SB. Niiiiiiiiice.
Chris Bosh has a chance to be in that group of great 2003 draft studs, including carmelo, d-wade, and lebron. He needs to win that series vs. New Jersey. They took a step tonight by beating them, albeit barely.

PLAYOFFS?
Heroes coming back on Monday at 8PM. NNNIIIIICCCEEE........................Very nice Survivor episode on Thursday, btw, the internet's buzzing about it. I'm a big televisionwithoutpity.com fan. Check it out.
In head coaching quotes there's one that stands above the rest: "PLAYOFFS? You talking about PLAYOFFS? You kiddin' me, PLAYOFFS?" Haha, the great Jim Mora Jr.
But yes, all Game ones in the NBA Playoffs have been played, and boy, were there some surprises......First off, I joined an NBA.com fantasy league called "march to the finals" where each day of the playoffs you pick one player who picks up a point each for every point, rebound, and assist that night. Pretty interesting. It makes you pick players from teams you think will LOSE early so you don't want to lose the opportunity of picking them. Day 1 I bombed w/ VC Carter, but tonight i think i did well w/ carmelo. Except their teams both won game 1, which could be a problem if it's a trend for the series.
BIG upset of the night: GSW goes to Dallas and just shuts them down. Wow. Not even in 121-119 fashion neither, Coach Don Nelson and his crew went in to Big D and Mark Cuban's house and just clogged them, didn't watch the whole game but B-diddy was impressive. That series could get interesting.
Luol Deng led Bulls over heat. Nice, well-fought game. Should be same way rest of series. I have San Antonio winning the championship, but they didn't start well w/ a loss @ home to Nuggets. No worries, they did the same thing two years ago and went on to win. Detroit should just absolutely DESTROY orlando as they did yesterday. Don't see magic winning a game in that series.

NBA season winding down
I'm gonna resist the temptation to write about baseball just yet cuz i'll have plenty opportunity to do so for months.........
I will say, though, that in my winners yahoo league i am excited about trading j-roll and adam dunn AWAY in return for carlos zambrano and carl crawford. I'll accentuate later.
Al Jefferson was supposed to pack it in for the season, but he decided to come back and dominate just to put a cap on a great breakout season for the dude. This guy has some talent. Boston actually beat miami IN south florida tonight. Wow. Does Boston want Greg Oden or not? Well, maybe Al-Jeff wants to prevent that from happening because he looks like the PREMIERE big man on that team for years to come.
ricky davis took over for k-g the last 2 games and just dominated. That guy has talent......imagine if garnett left next year.
hold up on the tracy-grady news. I might have spoken too soon. Tonight he went OFF against New Orleans in a loss, but his fantasy stats were amazing and have been really good in the 2nd half. So maybe i won't DRAFT him next year, but i'll trade for him at mid-season.
Quiet fantasy hero for those in the playoffs: Nene Hilario. Guy was a beast. It's cuz he can really play.
Tarence Kinsey was a late-season must-add that paid off for a lot of owners.
So was gerald green.
AS was earl watson before he got hurt. Everybody on seattle seemed to be hurt at some point this season........rashard lewis, ray allen, ridnour, watson............let's not even get into their big men. Altho Nick Collison wasn't too bad.
Luol Deng got rid of his 3-pt shooting this season, but his mid-range game is SO fine.
Ben Wallace and AK-47, two defensive juggernauts, didn't turn out so great this year.
Props to some really consistent guys who had typical years, like owners expected: Tony Parker, Manu Ginoblli, andre miller, steve nash, shane battier, rafer alston, there's definitely others on this list.
Fantasize on, Robert Yan

Fantasy Sport Guru blog !
Alright, so it's been a busy month, but the main reason I haven't written anything is that i haven't been able to access this blog.........I logged into google with the wrong info and password, but with that being said, I'm back..............and the NBA season is almost over. Boo.
It was a very learning-filled and memorable NBA season, though, and really I think we'll look back at the 2006-2007 season as a developmental season as far as fantasy is concerned. We had the same stars of fantasy like Marion, Garnett, and Nowitzki do their thing, but a little further down a lot of young guys stepped up, and superstars in the making really took that next step into their games, while some veterans are taking a step out, starting their fade.
LeBron James: Figured out his FT problems after having a tough stretch in middle of season. Should be EVEN BETTER next year. Carmelo Anthony: If you watched the nuggets this year, really took a big step in developing his game into a post-up, free-scoring player. Arrival of AI didn't hurt.
We witnessed ( heh, witness!)the emergence of AI2, Andre Iguodala, as he became the key guy in the Philadelphia offense. Samuel Dalembert also stepped up his game and proved he can go a whole season while putting up better offense in pts and rebounds. The Haitian Sensation should be good for many years.
JOSH SMITH. What can I say about this guy. Brandon Funston on Yahoo! Sports is starting to call him the Human Eraser, and I'd have to concur. This guy is a certified freak with his hops, and stays relatively healthy for a guy who literally jumps out of the gym while swatting people's shots. And he's only 20/21. Scary.
Gerald Wallace: Same story w/ the defensive numbers, a little less dependable w/ the health.
Kevin Martin: I traded Kevin Martin in the middle of the year after his breakout start, figuring his frail body would break down, but he stayed strong the rest of the year. His pct's are just great to have around, and very little turnovers. I see myself targeting this guy in all drafts in coming years. Watch out for Rashard Lewis. He's no longer that young, but after seeing his all-around game in Seattle, some contender will want him to become even more of a force.
Fading guys: Paul Pierce. The Truth was hurt a lot this year. T-Mac: This is the last year I will be drafting him unless he comes at a huge discount. Ray Allen: End of the road?
Anyone watch Heroes? That show is great, it has its own version of the Haitian Sensation, I'd have to say much better than Lost, and it connects its storylines deliciously. Watch it. Actually, watch the first four episodes of it and try to not watch the other 14. I dare you. Do it. I'm not kidding.
Alright, good to have the readership back,
Fantasize on,
