  • Dropping Dimes Mock Draft -: Round 2, Pick 2: Tim Duncan

    Gilbert Arenas was taken in the first round with the 11th pick, an interesting move by Sarge. What to do in the second round? Agent Zero needs to come back from last season’s injury-laced campaign. Thus the non-gambling conservative in me suggests putting the dice away and going with a …

  • Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 2, Pick 1: Al Jefferson

    The long weekend is in the rear view mirror, school has started, and our mock draft kicks off September with the first pick in the second round. Dwyane Wade is a fun pick even in the worst of times, but 22 players fly off the board before this team makes …

  • Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 11 - Gilbert Arenas

    The end of the first round presents an interesting dilemma to ponder this year. A few megastars with studly fantasy pedigrees will remain available due to their injury woes last season. Some pumped up Gilbert Arenas as a first overall pick last year...should have listened to that voice in your …

  • Maggette to the Spurs woulda been really interesting, but I guess it's all moot cuz sources say he's signing with the Warriors with a 5 year/$50 million deal. Can't blame him, that's serious money talking. On the fantasy front, this is the best possible ending for Maggette. With Baron and Pietrus gone, he could be the team's leading scorer, and although Sarge correctly points out his fantasy deficiencies, he scores a lot and gets to the line, which is an asset in certain leagues.

  • No, Sarge, you're mixed up. The Knicks are gonna get Jay-Z on the payroll and then sign LBJ to a max deal in a couple of years. Then Steve Nash and/or Chris Paul is/are gonna sign with them too apparently, as the Rotoworld wire threw out there in passing. And on top of that, they are gonna draft D.Rose! Wow! Bwahaha. Oh, and I think D'Antoni is just Isiah dressed up in disguise. Kinda like what Marvel Comics has going on right now with the Skrull invasion. How else can you explain the overtures to recruit players from the Suns roster?

  • Well put, coop. As I tried to say in the post, I hated to submarine you. But the bottom line was the article wasn't able to generate more than one comment, I always make my picks as part of the score, and so far no one else has propped up KD and Joe. As a partner for Nash, Deng is just good enough for them to be considered for the "W" but not good enough for it to be a no-brainer. You're absolutely right, this is not an NBA game, it's two-on-two. But everyone does bring their NBA game to the table. How can Nash and Deng win? On offense, I don't think you and I are in disagreement. They could run screen roll very effectively, or Nash darts into the paint like he does, gets open for a layup or he draws the two defenders and passes to an open Deng. Durant and Johnson like to shoot, and both can score but neither is dead eye. Both shot around 43% last year. Nash and Deng could probably coax them into taking a few outside jumpers. They make them, everything you say and more is true. They miss one or two though? There's no dominant rebounder is this four, so if Nash or Deng can grab the loose ball, they can win the possession battle and eke out the win. I don't see either side stopping the other very much, so the edge in my eyes comes in Nash's ballhandling and outside shooting. I feel in the end we're gonna have to agree to disagree. Appreciate the comments. Tell you what, if it's a tie again down the road, next time your pick moves on. peace.

    Dropping Dimes Two-on-Two Tourney: Round 1, Games 9 and 10

  • Happy Mother's Day! Since I'm handing the ball over to Sarge next week, I'll leave my comments on this week's match-ups. In the first one, I like Josh Smith and Paul. This game would be a showcase for offensive talent, but Paul would be unstoppable. Granger on Smith would be pretty even, and there would be obvious difficulties checking 'Melo, but Paul will carry them through, with the help of some monster blocks from J-Smoove. In the second game, certainly Deron is good enough to use Dalembert to the best advantage and win, but Wade and Iverson just seem too quick, too good, and they would have so much fun playing with each other, that even with a few blocks by Dalembert, they'll find a way to put the ball in the hoop. I see Wade and A.I. running down all the loose balls and long rebounds. Props to you, Deron, but I'm going with the vets.

  • Sarge will be pinch-hitting for me next week, so I thought I'd get the comments rolling for these two match-ups. Love the first game this week; it might be the first time in this tourney where there isn't a likely consensus pick. If Crash and Roy played Yao and Parker seven times, conceivably it could be 4-3 either way, whereas maybe in the previous match-ups, opinion was a little more clear-cut towards one team. I want to pick the team that's more fun, but I think Tony and Yao take this one. Parker is lightning quick, and he's playing so amazing right now. I think Roy can hang with him for a bit, but he's an expert at playing the two man game with TD; Yao isn't as polished, but the result would be just as effective. Yao would control the boards in the end, and even though Crash and Roy would make it a great game, I think they fall short. In the second game, I like Odom and Jamison. Odom has point forward skills, and Jamison has the three-point shot. McGrady would be brilliant in this kind of match-up but that leaves Bibby guarding a skilled big man in either Odom or Jamison. The rule change to losers out this year makes a difference in this game, I think. T-Mac has it in him to go on a huge scoring streak and take his pairing to a win, but with these rules him and Bibby would lose because of the defensive match-up problems.
