ED is when a man has problems getting or maintaining an erection long enough for sex. It happens when not enough blood flows to the penis. ED isn’t the same for all men. Some men aren’t able to get an erection at all. Others can get one, but it’s not hard enough for sex. And others get a hard erection but lose it before or during sex. ED is a medical condition. So in most cases, erections will not improve without treatment. Treatment works. It’s important to know that ED is a medical condition and not necessarily just part of getting older. The good news is that with treatments like ERECTifix Rx, men with ED can significantly improve their erections.

I did read the post (actually, I've been a fan of this blog for several months now - keep up the great work) about how percentages are the hardest to gauge because of disconnects in attempts/game. Great tips in your additional comments comparing ESPN and other player raters to Yahoo. I agree that Yahoo is not always a measure of true value. It overvalues 3 pointers by a lot, and blocks by a little. It undervalues steals and both percentage cats. Regardless, the rankings are really most useful for the top players. Once you get to the fringe/bench guys, find someone who is a difference maker in a key category, but who also does respectably in a few others. Just be sure you don't end up with a bunch of brick-layers unless you're ditching a category entirely (which I consciously chose to do with FT%, hence changing player value TO MY TEAM completely). Last year I decided to ignore FG% and won the league with great balance across the rest of the categories. I've been managing to that strategy and have been on a tear for the past month. Went 6-2 and 7-1 the past couple of weeks in Head-to-Head, and I'm dominating this week too, so far. That is true.

I just checked and Baron Davis would still only be ranked #40 if you don't count turnovers. The #17 ranking you had for him must be from Yahoo, which has VERY screwy rankings. Specifically, it does not assess value to the %'s correctly, and it way over values 3 pointers. See previous discussion of PlayerRaters within the "Playing the percentages" topic. T-Plan,

So long as you don't mind using Yahoo. On your trade comments, I'd make that trade if I were you. But caution that you are not only giving up 3s, but assists as well. On the other hand, Wade and Butler will likely outperform Pierce and Ridnour down the stretch, especially in FG% where Luke has not been doing well and Pierce will come back down to earth. Look at Paul's career stats - he has never finished a season above 46% so I think he'll have a major slump before April. It happens every year. jm - maybe I’ll have an open slot next year if you want to make a jump (I commish my own league). So long as you don’t mind using Yahoo.

But since my league uses it (as do many other leagues), I need to factor it in. Maybe next year I can get the commissioner to get rid of it. Andy, I'm thinking of offering up Pierce and Ridnour to get Wade and Caron Butler. What do you think? It's a pretty even deal (based on their season averages). Basically, I'd gain some points, but lose some 3's. The main reason to do it would be to sell-high on Pierce before a potential trade that could reduce his overall numbers. T-Plan,

I looked at that b-ball monster site and the rankings are not impressive. All they did was take stats to date and assume they will continue (e.g. Yao Ming shows 19-9, his exact stats before the injury). Take Kenyon Martin for example. If his knee heals up and he can get healthy, he should do 16/7.4/2.3/1/1.2 with good FG% and bad FT% down the stretch. Go look at what they are estimating for him. I don't buy it and just picked up K-Mart when someone dumped him in my league. (Dropped Donyell Marshall who has been destroying FG% for me, so it was worth the risk) One of you nailed the difference in rankings to date: Turnovers. That's why there is such a discrepancy. In an 8-category Yahoo league without TOs included, Chris Bosh is #38 on a per-game average based on their season-to-date rankings. In that same league Baron Davis is #17 on the season, even with the sketchy %%%s. Turnovers is a terrible category so we removed it from my league. As a long time player of several fantasy sports, I am pretty dogmatic about omitting negative categories. After all, some really good players, gamebreakers even, get crushed when you throw in TOs. And there's no fair way to count them. For instance, Kirilenko has the unfortunate circumstance of playing with a revolving door of PGs. If they start making erratic passes to him and he can't handle the ball, he gets the blame for the TO or out-of-bounds play (assuming he actually touches it). If someone who is falling out of bounds decides to throw the ball off a player's leg, he gets the TO. I could go on and on with examples, but you can clearly see that TOs is a stupid category and we should all boycott it. Comments well taken to all who replied to my post.

Statistically, the deal looked awful at the time but I thought it was a classic "sell high" situation and Bosh's C-eligibility was a huge plus for me. Mobley has heated up, and I'm happy with the trade so far. I traded Pierce and Boris Diaw for Bosh and Cuttino Mobley a few weeks ago.

As for Bosh, well, he could easily be on this list next month. There are so many guys in the 15-25 range that all deserve to be on there, but i gotta cut it somewhere. Gerald Wallace was the guy i had the toughest time leaving off this list, but he's so inconsistent that I wouldn't want to bank my fantasy team's hopes on him just yet. as PR said, Pierce’s drop comes more from potential risk than any actual performance drops.even if he doesn’t get traded, boston needs to find someone to take the load off of pierce and ricky davis.
