Nels wins our Experts League!
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Disses, H2H, Props, Site Announcements,
Nels from Give Me The Rock is the winner of our 2nd Experts League. He threw a little diss at us in his season recap on his site, but he’s right in saying that having knowledge about the NBA and being good at the fantasy game are two different things. I find most of these industry leagues focus on the draft. I definitely put way more energy in my leagues against family and friends. Funny that Nels writes he hates Chris Paul due to something that happened in another league, but in this league, CP3 was his anchor.

Magazine League Winner: Brandon Haraway!
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers,
The Dropping Dimes team, along with some of our blogging friends, contributed to a pre-season magazine put out by Sports Eye Publications. Part of the magazine was a mock draft, which was done through e-mail. Momentum quickly swelled to make this draft a league, and I was the only one that suggested not to, voicing concerns about how much people would contribute to a league that was not one of their main ones. People wanted it to happen to the point that there was mention of finding someone else to manage my team.
Somewhat reluctantly I joined since we were already doing the draft. Plus, it was a chance to check out a league from by NBA.com and their Ultimate Fantasy Commisioner. Well, good thing I stuck around because the finals featured a match-up between myself and fellow Dime dropper, Brandon Haraway.

It’s the last week, and the DD staff wants to thank all of you faithful readers. Hopefully we’ve been of service, and hopefully you’ve won some leagues with our help. Don’t forget about us in the offseason and definitely don’t for next year’s drafts. That being said, here is the schedule…

Beyond The Arc - Week 24

(Editors Note: Apologies for the tardiness of this post. While Brandon was punctual as usual, I’m late in pinch-hitting the posting of his piece. Try saying that five times fast.)
So, next week is the first week of the league finals in most formats. Hopefully you are still alive, and even more so, hopefully you’ve had fun this season. For me personally, this was my best and most fulfilling fantasy season to date. Take a long look at that roster, see what you can dump, see what you can move around, and take a look at who’s hot and who’s not, because these final two weeks are what it’s all about. This week I’ll try and focus on guys who you may still be able to pick up.
Here’s next week’s slate of games (4/7-4/13):

2007-08 Rookie Crop

So the NBA schedules games on Christmas and Easter, but they always, always, ALWAYS avoid the night the NCAA crowns their Men’s Division I champion. Why? “One shining moment…”
Even the biggest NBA die-hards will check out college ball around this time of year. The tourney kicks off draft hype. With players like Derrick Rose, Kevin Love, Brandon Rush etc making it to the Final Four this year, it’s been an excellent time to check out these blue chip prospects. Tyler Hansbrough has been named Player of the Year in quite a few places, but most have his pro potential listed pretty low.
So with no NBA action scheduled for Monday, April 7th, it seems like a good time to reflect on the rookies.

2007-08 Fantasy NBA MVP
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Talent, Cleveland Cavaliers, New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns,
It’s just a matter of time before the usual suspects roll out their year-end awards and mock draft first round predictions for next season. Obviously there is still much to be decided this season; namely head-to-head leagues are in the middle of the semi-final week, the playoff pictures in both the East and the West need to be decided, and an NCAA champ needs to be crowned.
So I figure Dropping Dimes might as well be the place to stay ahead of the curve and look at the candidates for the real and fantasy MVP. If we are looking for four players to make up a “Mount Rushmore” for the 2007-08 season, three players end up being no-brainer picks. The fourth? Well, read on.

The playoffs are here! Put down your bracket and pull out your fantasy league’s bracket. Now’s the time to buckle down, make no mistakes, and take home the trophy. Make sure you check your team twice or three times a day. Drop guys who aren’t producing: there’s no more waiting around to do. Don’t be afraid to bench a star who is playing two games if you can cover his spot with good production. And if it’s Wednesday and you are big in the hole, start streaming. These are the strategies that win leagues.
Let’s jump into the schedule for next week (3/24-3/30):
The Fig Cap: That’s cute. So is Lamar’s recent production.
