Okay, Antoine Walker really shouldn’t be in the All-Star game. It’s rediculous to think he should even be a candidate. But, right now there is a Internet movement that is trying to vote Shane Battier and Antoine Walker as starters for the upcoming NBA All-Star game. Battier, suprisingly enough, has a legitimate chance if people dilligently work to vote him in, while Walker…would just be hillarious to see him make it. I think it would be great to see this happen, and if you would too then please vote and make it reality. Click here for more information.
It seems like the NBA has been on autopilot for the last few weeks. Players that have struggled have continued to stink up fantasy lines (Kirk Heinrich was actually dropped in one of my leagues!) while players who have been on fire continue their spirited play. As a result, I don’t have that much to talk about today, which is probably a good thing as I have four final exams next week. However, I do have a few points of interest to note:
- Dwight Howard is currently ranked #16 on the APR. Looks like he’s justifying the rationale of the people who went and took him “too early”, as in the second round.
- Antoine Walker is actually producing some value. Over the last week he is rated #31 in the APR and has had a series of good games. If you are looking for help in 3PTM, give him a look.
- Jamario Moon continues to be impressive, with a 6-block performance and a rating of #24 on the weekly APR. I don’t know why I have yet to pick him up, but if he continues to play like this then he won’t be around for very long.
Also, just a quick question to our readers, but what type of fantasy leagues do you play in? Standard Roto and H2H leagues, or perhaps something different like a KFBA league or one with strange scoring methods? I personally play mainly H2H and want to get a sense of what you guys are playing, so I can better tailor my advice and strategy columns.
On a last note, I want to give my condolences to the family and friends of Sean Taylor, the Washington Redskins safety who was lethally shot in his home on Sunday night by a burgler. It is a horrible tragedy that has become all too common recently. Both BV and DM are from the Washington D.C. area, and I’m sure they are seeing the effects first-hand.
Next time I promise to write more about basketball and fantasy advice. It’s just been one of those weeks. Take care until next time.

Not my real email…..so don’t email me
hahaha
but I play in roto only, standard 9 cats…12 teams
personally I think its the best size, since you have enough sleepers to help your team when you are in trouble…keeping everyone competitive, but not enough to dilute the talent pool.
I find larger than 12-14 team leagues always screw guys over when one star gets injured for a month, and other guys win too easily when they pick up one sleeper who breaks out. For ex. One guy who picked up Biedrins and Monta finished 4th in the league of 12, whereas he woulda destroyed evferyone in a league of 16-18
Anyway, my two cents, even thuugh you didn’t ask…hahaah

12 team Sportsline, pts, rbs, ast, blk, stl, -mfg, -mft, -to. Ends up putting a lot more emphasis on shooting percentage than leagues that just debit for fg% or ft%…we lose a point for every mft or mfg. It makes those 3-17 nights hard to stomach.
