Dime Day: Four Quarters of New York Knicks
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Atlantic Division, New York Knicks, Disses, H2H, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Talent,
Every so often on Dime Day, “Four Quarters” will feature one particular NBA team, going ten players deep into their roster. Whether it’s a small tidbit of news on the bench-warmers, or an opportunity to give major props to the all-stars around the league, as always we slant it towards the fantasy side of life.
Thanks to Dennis Velasco for the assist this week. He gave me some local tidbits of information on his beloved Knicks. So let’s dig into the Knicks roster and see what’s happening

Dropping Dimes Staff Rankings: Week 16
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: H2H, Site Features, Talent,
All-Star week is upon us. While some of your players will be competing in the skills competition, 3-point shootout, or even the slam dunk contest, lets face it…most of them will be chilling in their living rooms watching the events on a 70-something inch television. Regardless, this week will not provide a lot of games played for any of the teams, so it’s a tough week to win in any format. As one big shot in the dark, your best bet is to have as many two-game players as possible. Preferably, those that are healthy as well…
Here are the rankings for this week. First, lets scope out how many games each team plays…
Atlanta Hawks - 2; Boston Celtics - 1; Charlotte Bobcats - 1; Chicago Bulls - 2; Cleveland Cavaliers - 2; Dallas Mavericks - 2; Denver Nuggets - 2; Detroit Pistons - 2; Golden State Warriors - 2; Houston Rockets - 2; Indiana Pacers - 1; Los Angeles Clippers - 2; Los Angeles Lakers - 2; Memphis Grizzlies - 2; Miami Heat - 1; Milwaukee Bucks - 2; Minnesota Timberwolves - 1; New Jersey Nets - 2; New Orleans Hornets - 2; New York Knicks - 2; Orlando Magic - 1; Philadelphia 76ers - 1; Phoenix Suns - 1; Portland Trail Blazers - 2; Sacramento Kings - 2; San Antonio Spurs - 2; Seattle Supersonics - 1; Toronto Raptors - 2; Utah Jazz - 2; Washington Wizards – 1.
(Average ranking in parenthesis)
POINT GUARDS
1. Jason Kidd (1.25)
2. Chris Paul (2.75)
3. Chauncey Billups (4.00)

Stat’s All, Folks: Just Like Mickey D’s, I’m Loving Chris Bosh
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Disses, H2H, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Rumors, Site Features, Talent, Trades, Waiver Pick Ups,
Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks. I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.
Note that you won’t always see the superstar player written about in this column, otherwise it would be LeBron James or Steve Nash every week. So, check out who’s bullish and who’s bearish coming into the week.
Statistics are from February 1 - February 8
POINTS
BULLISH
Chris Bosh, PF/C, Toronto Raptors
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 3 G; 30.7 PPG; 51.8 FG%; 87.2 FT%
Next weekend Bosh will be going to the All-Star game for the first time in his career as a starter (Thanks, Mark!). And looking at the trends for this season and his career, it won’t be the only time. In the past week, CB4 has flexed his scoring muscle like he owned Hulk Hogan’s 24-inch pythons! Check the scoring average trend for each month: November – 20.5 in 15 games; December – 20.5 in four games; January – 25.4 in 15 games; and 30.7 in three games thus far this month. In his last game, Bosh scored a career-high 41 points in a Young Beasts Down In The Box matchup against the Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard. CB4 even showed some clutch game by scoring 31 of those 41 points in the second half to lead the Raptors to victory. And if you have Bosh on your fantasy team, he’ll do the same for you. Brother!!!

Thank goodness for the Super Bowl. If you are having a tough year in your main fantasy basketball league like I am, maybe you welcome the distraction as well. After being inspired by Sarge’s one man rant on Eric Snow, I figured I would throw myself a pity party. Because I am in need of a new hobby to relax from my main hobby after the events of the last few weeks especially. So what’s been going on, you ask? If you are willing to be my Frasier, I am happy to take advantage of your listening skills.
If you are hoops junkie, you have more than a few fantasy teams. But one league usually stands out as the one that matters the most. And for me, this is the league that is kicking me to the curb right now.
1. My match-up of the week tends to light up every time, but just against me.
It was week 14 and my opponent sports Jason Kidd on his roster. I was in the playoff mix going into the week, and by the next Monday, I was on the outs looking in. Kidd did more than his fair share, dropping in triple doubles like there was no tomorrow. So what does he do this week when I need him to knock down a playoff contender for me? You guessed it: games of zero points/five turnovers, and a two assist game before that.
