Fantasy Focus: Yi Jianlian edition

December 27, 2009

Throughout the Nets’ horrific start to the season, Yi has been largely absent from their lineup. After starting the first four games of the year, Yi was sidelined with a right-knee injury,  certainly adding to New Jersey’s woes. Just before making his return to the lineup, a collision with Sean Williams in practice led to [...]

December 9, 2009

Injuries are certainly a major factor that plays into the success (or lack thereof) for teams across the league. While the season is roughly only 1/4 through, several teams are (or have) battling through injuries for some of their key players. Here’s an assessment of some of the most notable injuries so far this season, [...]

Danny Granger wins Most Improved Player award

May 12, 2009

Danny Granger was named the league’s Most Improved Player award today. This was a well-deserved award, as his 25.8 ppg average (an increase of over 6 ppg) was good for fifth in the league overall. And while an increase of six points a game may not sound all that impressive, when it is from 19.6 [...]

Devin Harris hits a miraculous buzzer beater

February 24, 2009

I realize that I’m about a day late and a dollar short on this one, but I would be remiss if I didn’t show this brilliant game-winner by New Jersey’s Devin Harris last night. It was easily one of the best shots of the year, and certainly one of the best buzzer-beaters I’ve ever seen. [...]

NBA Studs and Duds 1/12/09

January 12, 2009

Studs:
Paul Pierce, Boston Celtics
Well, at least the Celtics seem to have the Raptors’ number these days. Not only did Pierce drop in a season-high 39 points tonight, he was incredibly clutched as he scored 9 points in overtime to lead the C’s to a 115-109 win over Toronto (who they beat yesterday as well). [...]

NBA Studs and Duds: 12/23/08

December 23, 2008

Studs:
Joe Johnson, Atlanta Hawks
Joe Johnson is not so quietly developing into one of the best shooting guards in the league. He is (at times) unassuming, but he can affect the game in a multitude of ways. This was certainly the case as Johnson produced the second triple-double of his career. Johnson’s 21 points, 11 [...]
