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.

Beyond the Arc: Week 21
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Injuries, Props, Roto, Talent,
Alright, so this is the last week of most league’s regular seasons. Hopefully you’ve locked yourself up a few top seeds or have at least clinched your spot in the playoffs. If not, well here’s to hoping you do so very soon. This may be the time to start streaming, so keep your head in the game this week if you need a big win. Streaming can save playoff lives.
But without further adieu, here is the schedule for next week (3/17-3/23):
The Fig Cap: You still suck Tony.

Chris Webber and Earl Boykins: Living On A Prayer
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Rumors, Talent, Golden State Warriors,
????...Oh…We’re Half Way There….????
Almost as a little addition to yesterday’s Wire to Wire, I wanted to add two new names that you fantasy folks may want to keep an eye on: Chris Webber and Earl Boykins.
Webber has officially signed with the Golden State Warriors, despite many people still wondering exactly “why.” While Webber is undoubtedly older, slower and in all-around worse shape than he was a year ago when he gallivanted around Detroit, Golden State seems to be a breading ground for fantasy relevance. As of now, I think C-Webb will have more of a negative impact on the fantasy value of others (see Biedrins, Andris and Harrington, Al) - but this doesn’t mean he should be counted out. Don Nelson may make this thing work!

Just Because: The Official Steve Novak Watch
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Props, Site Features, Southwest Division, Houston Rockets, Talent,
The Dropping Dimes crew has been a big fan of Shootin’ Steve Novak since his days at Marquette. We had some lofty expectations for the gunner coming into last season, but for some reason or another (cough, defense), things never seemed to unfold.
Well, with last night’s season high of 10 (ten!) points, I have officially decided to start the Steve Novak Watch for the remainder of this season. Check back early and often for updates. Okay, maybe not often as he seems to only play about once a month. Maybe this is the start of a new era, but only time will tell…
Games Played: 5 (9:41 mpg)
Field Goals: 9-15
3-Pt Field Goals: 7-11
Free Throws: 2-2
Points: 27
Rebounds: 8

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out this video. But let’s jump into the schedules now.
Here’s the schedule for next week (1/7-1/13):
The Fig Cap: We Believe you’re a stud.

Just Because: Not-So-Block Party
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Atlantic Division, New York Knicks, Editorial, Roto, Talent,
Happy Monday, all.
I just wanted to draw your attention to our man Kelly Dwyer’s post over at Yahoo! that breaks down a list of players with more blocks this season than the Newest Knick, Zach Randolph.
His post breaks down just a few players from the Western Conference. And no, we’re not talking Tim Duncan and Yao Ming here…One name on the list? Dan Dickau. Seriously. Dan Dickau…of 10 minutes per night fame. Click Here for the rest, and a big thanks to whichever commenter pointed out that Daniel Gibson (six), all of 6’2” has three times the blocks that Randolph (two) has thus far.
Big thanks to Henry over at TrueHoop for the tip!
(Update: Here’s the link to the Eastern Conference)
Dropping Dimes on the Daily - 12.06.07
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent, Waiver Pick Ups,
One crazy game filled with big lines, a few huge rebounding totals, and some surprise dime machines headline today’s DDOTD. How could we expect anything less than that on a nearly full slate of games on Wednesday? That, folks, is why Thursday’s editions are always the best.
The Fig Cap: This obviously wasn’t Wednesday night. Keep reading.

Dropping Dimes on the Daily – December 4, 2007
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Editorial, Props, Rookies, Roto, Rumors, Talent, Waiver Pick Ups,
Cause I totally blew it with not getting up a Daily yesterday, I’m going extra big with tonight’s version. Please accept this humble offering with my sincere apologies and a pledge to do better next time. I suddenly feel like Tony Kornheiser. Um, yeah.
Anyway, a new name in fantasyland you’ll read about after the jump is this dude on the right, Jared Dudley. He now starts for Charlotte. He’s fun to watch. More importantly, his StatTracker line lighting up is fun to watch as well. Yeah, I know, but that’s what gets me excited these days.
The Fig Cap: I don’t have to wear warm-ups at the tip anymore!
