THE FANTASYFANATICS.COM STOCK REPORT
Injuries and losses are the two greatest factors affecting the Stock Report this late in the season. The big news this week came when Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki sprained his knee and ankle, pushing his season into jeopardy. The good news for those who don’t have Nowitzki on their squad is that [...]
Bibby Isn’t The Answer For Atlanta
I have a confession to make: Despite being a Raptors fan, over the past few seasons, I’ve watched in admiration as Billy Knight has deftly filled the Hawks roster with a plethora of young talent. He’s done a great job on draft nights adding Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Al Horford and Acie Law IV, and [...]
Buzzer Beaters - 03/30
* Hardwood Paroxysm had a link to the top 10 selling jerseys of the past decade and he came to an interesting conclusion: fans prefer players who look flashy than those who win Championships.

Developing The D-League
I need to disclaim from the get go that I appreciate and admire the way David Stern has handled and developed the D-League so far. What follows is by no means a criticism of Stern or his reign as commissioner, but rather a look at the current shape of the league and where I would [...]
Interview with Carl English
Just wanted to let everyone know that I got a chance to interview former Hawaii standout, long-time Canadian national team player and emerging international basketball star Carl English for my site over at The On Deck Circle. It’s a great look at the life of an international player, the trials of a Canadian baller and [...]
Sonics Last Stand?
Twenty-three days.
That’s all that stands between the Supersonics and relocation. As Canadians, we’ve experienced the Grizzlies moving away down south to Memphis, the Expos moving away from Montreal to become the Washington Nationals and a handful of NHL teams leaving to go south in the ’90s. In the wake of each move, the local fans [...]
