And that’s all she wrote, folks.
A special shout-out to Mikki Moore and Bostjan Nachbar for going a combined 13-19 from the floor to keep my FG% afloat. Oh, and beating the Bulls so my Cavaliers got the 2-seed was an added bonus. Well done, gentlemen. A great season all-around - unless you owned Dwyane Wade or Gilbert Areans, of course. Check you all soon…

Real World - Harlem: It’s Finals Time, And Money Is On The Line!
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, H2H, Talent, Waiver Pick Ups,
Alright…Here’s the scoop. 10-teams, standard categories, and a decent amount of smack talk. After taking home the title in our fantasy football league this year (two titles in three years), I had a lot of people gunning for me in the hoops league. The draft went a bit awry when a ton of point guards flew off of the board early. My first picks were Elton Brand and Chris Bosh at 10 and 11, respectively. But I digress…
After experiencing the utter brutality of injuries to several of my top selections – Bosh, Michael Redd, Rashard Lewis – I managed to sneak into the post-season as a 5-seed. If I could just make it past the first round, I think I may have a chance to pull off the upsets needed. Oh, and let me preface this whole thing by saying that in my money league, which is in its third year, we count “Ejections” as a category. Yes…you may argue that it’s simply luck (or misfortune) that can win that category, but I will come right back at you with the fact that it’s Head-to-Head fantasy basketball and at this point, it’s all luck anyways.
On to the results…

The final session of the fantasy playoffs are upon us. If you haven’t had to deal with the loss of any stars this season, I commend you as you’re truly an anomaly this season. The recent additions of Gilbert Arenas and Michael Redd to the list of stars to bite the dust should have owners scrambling for last minute replacements. It’s unfortunate that the players that got you to where you are today can no longer help you, but such is the life in the fantasy basketball playoffs. Here are this week’s recommendations…

Hey! Over here! Remember me!? I’m the NBA!!
With all of March Madness sweeping the spotlight away from the NBA over the next few weeks, fantasy owners would be wise to catch their opponents sleeping at the wheel and pick up all of the goods. While the “clearance rack” may be a bit picked over at this time of year, I think there are a few guys that could help you make that last push you need to see some fantasy post season. On to this week’s recommendations…
