Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Roto, Site Features, Talent,
.
The Dropping Dimes Experts League has become a two horse race. Our resident boss man, Dennis Velasco, holds a slim 0.5 point edge over Nels Wadycki from Give Me The Rock.
Here are Dennis’ totals in each category thus far. As a reminder, we play in a 12 team roto league with weekly roster changes and unlimited add/drops.
FG%: 10
FT%: 3
3PTM: 9
Pts: 3
Reb: 7
Ast: 7
Stl: 10
Blk: 11
TO: 11
Team total: 71.
Nels trails with 70.5 points and ProFantasySports with 65 points. Me? After a swan dive in the standings, I have slowly climbed up to fourth place with 62 points

Dropping Dimes Staff Rankings: Week 17
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: H2H, Roto, Site Features, Talent,
This week, we forge ahead without the input of Ron Chow, who sent his regrets on not being able to send in his rankings. Week 17 consists of a six day week, as the NBA gives itself a long weekend during the all-star break. Happy Chinese New Year!
Teams and Number of Games for the Week:
Atlanta Hawks - 4; Boston Celtics - 4; Charlotte Bobcats - 4; Chicago Bulls - 4; Cleveland Cavaliers - 3; Dallas Mavericks - 2; Denver Nuggets - 3; Detroit Pistons - 4; Golden State Warriors - 3; Houston Rockets - 3; Indiana Pacers - 3; Los Angeles Clippers - 2; Los Angeles Lakers - 3; Memphis Grizzlies - 3; Miami Heat - 3; Milwaukee Bucks - 4; Minnesota Timberwolves - 4; New Jersey Nets - 3; New Orleans Hornets - 3; New York Knicks - 4; Orlando Magic - 4; Philadelphia 76ers - 3; Phoenix Suns - 4; Portland Trail Blazers - 3; Sacramento Kings - 4; San Antonio Spurs - 4; Seattle Supersonics - 3; Toronto Raptors - 3; Utah Jazz - 3; Washington Wizards – 4
POINT GUARDS
It seems that Nash, Kidd and Iverson were ranked based on the assumption that they will be back on the court after the all-star break, despite them skipping the all-star game itself.
1. Gilbert Arenas (1.00)
2. Steve Nash (2.00)
3. Chauncey Billups (3.00)
4. Ray Allen (5.67)
5. Jason Kidd (6.33)
6. Chris Paul (7.33)
7. Allen Iverson (7.67)
8. Kirk Hinrich (8.00)
9. Deron Williams (8.33)...seems strangely low, but it’s a tough top five to crack.
10. Mike Bibby (10.33)
11. Maurice Williams (11.33)
12. Stephon Marbury (12.00)
13. Andre Miller (14.00)
14. Jason Terry (16.33)...two game week limits totals, but not efficiency
15. Jameer Nelson (16.67)...had the flu just before the break.

In honor of the NBA’s All-Star Weekend, this week’s edition of Stat’s All Folks will turn into Stat’s All-Star Folks where I’ll hand out All-Star berths for the six main cumulative categories in fantasy basketball. I’ll cite the category leader as the starter and a value choice as a reserve. This value choice will be a player that I think has exceeded his expectations before the season started and/or will come on strong after the break.
Sarge, you’re welcome for the pic… everyone else, you’re welcome too. Just like the shots during the Three-Point Shootout, let’s get poppin’.

Wire to Wire: 02.06.07
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups,
Wire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs. It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist—all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time.
Due to scheduling, the NBA didn’t exactly give us a large sample size to choose from over the last few games. Thankfully (depending on how you look at it), players in the Association do not need a lot of time to injure themselves, providing opportunities for the average fantasy basketball fan. While a few of these names may ring a bell, we’ve had a few new additions this week. The first men you should thank? Start with Marcus Camby and Baron Davis, as their annual injuries pave the way for the future stars of the NBA. On to this week’s recommendations.

Sargent Says: Let It Snow…Somewhere Else (For Real, This Time)
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Site Features,
Okay, okay…I get it. Eric Snow may not be the worst “Snow” around these days.
Thanks to Cleveland.com for the embedded picture. For those that care, this pic was taken right outside the place where I spend the majority of my time (awake), right in the heart of it all in downtown, Cleveland. And by “heart of it all” I mean Quicken Loans Arena, a CVS, and some panhandlers. Now, if I get off of work tomorrow - which would be my first ever adult snow day - I’ll be alright with this mess. Otherwise, I won’t be too thrilled.
