Stat’s All Folks: The Season Finale
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Injuries, NBA Draft, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Sleepers, Talent, Waiver Pick Ups,
It’s over. Go ahead and breathe that sigh of relief if you won on the final week of the season - THE championship or the consolation title - a win is a win. For those of you that lost, scream but know that the constant waves of anxiety are now over. Fortunately, I came out on the winning end of the PFS Experts League, beating SI.com Fantasy Sports Editor, James Quintong. Sorry, JQ, but someone had to win and I certainly don’t mind it being myself. I also won the DroppingDimes.com Roto Experts League, barely beating PFS and SI.com’s Matt Satten… by half a point! That’s 0.5!!! But enough about me.
Let’s get to the stats and those players that excelled in them (Blue Chippers), gave more production in the various categories relative to where they were drafted (Value Players), and those players that disappointed (Duds) this past season. I’ll review the big three categories a little more heavily since they’re the main categories for a reason. Afterwards, I’ll do a quick hit type of deal with treys, steals, and blocks, looking mostly at the positive to end on a happy note.

The final session of the fantasy playoffs are upon us. If you haven’t had to deal with the loss of any stars this season, I commend you as you’re truly an anomaly this season. The recent additions of Gilbert Arenas and Michael Redd to the list of stars to bite the dust should have owners scrambling for last minute replacements. It’s unfortunate that the players that got you to where you are today can no longer help you, but such is the life in the fantasy basketball playoffs. Here are this week’s recommendations…
(Editor’s Note: I apologize for the delay on this. Had some technical difficulties at the end of last week)

Hey! Over here! Remember me!? I’m the NBA!!
With all of March Madness sweeping the spotlight away from the NBA over the next few weeks, fantasy owners would be wise to catch their opponents sleeping at the wheel and pick up all of the goods. While the “clearance rack” may be a bit picked over at this time of year, I think there are a few guys that could help you make that last push you need to see some fantasy post season. On to this week’s recommendations…

A lot of common names are mentioned this week. Some have received elevated playing time due to injuries, while one specific baller will get more time simply because he’s on the same team as Ron Artest. Add John Salmons to the list of players who got a late- season boost thanks to playing with Artest at any point in their careers. We may be adding this to future theories for drafting purposes. Until then, we’ll just focus on players that you can add this week to get you to the playoffs.
