Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Already mentioned Ricky Davis, so next up would be Daequan Cook (4.07) with 23 points on 5 threes. He only shot 9/20, so he passes the 70% rule. He jumped from a season average of 20 minutes to 29 and 43 over the last 2 games. And his name is an uncommon spelling. Not that I know a common spelling of Daequan. I guess if you have a spot, go for it and see if he keeps up the minutes and performance while Wade sits.
More fantasy analysis after the jump...

Cleveland
This past friday I went to Cleveland, to do an appearance for Topps. I did something that I have never done before, go to a card convention. It was called The National. There were alot of people there for trading cards and other sports memorabilia. It was really cool. Most of the time i was with ERIC from Topps, he is a cool dude. They made everything harmless and I had fun....
The Heat Can Score, When The Suns Defend

Last night the Heat beat the Suns with a pretty balanced scoring attack. But, this is a case where the stats are kind of off. Even though DWade didn't have to carry the team, the Suns don't play consistent defense, so Cook got open shots, most of their shots were open and easy. Daequan Cook can ...

Dwayne Wade shut down for season
Multiple sources (1, 2, 3) this morning have confirmed the inevitable: the Heat's franchise player Dwayne Wade will be shut down for the rest of the season to undergo treatment on his left knee.
The next question for fantasy owners is who should one pick up on the Heat? I like Ricky Davis a lot because he can do just about everything. In addition to that, he has been playing...
NBA Age Rule Impacts Ohio State
As Greg Oden, Michael Conley Jr., and Daequan Cook deal with vastly different rookie seasons, the Buckeye basketball program rebuilds in a new era of college basketball.
Some Quick Notes
1. My Colts have been hit by the injury bug and I'm very worried about what we will look like at the start of the post season.
2. I assume quite a few of you who read my blog watch college basketball, lookout for Eric "EJ" Gordon this year. He should be a monster in the B10 this year. It's amazing how good our AAU team was a couple years ago...

Watching some NBA games yesterday, caught part of the second half between the Miami Heat and the Atlanta Hawks. We know the Hawks are doing decent following their playoffs from last year. But the Miami Heat have really improved as well, most of it being due to Dwyane Wade being healthy.I highlighted this specific play not necessarily because it's any better of a play than any...

Philadelphia 76ers' back up center Jason Smith tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a Las Vegas NBA camp. The injury will require surgery and Smith could miss the entire 2008-2009 season, according to his agent, Marc Bartelstein.
"It's unfortunate that this happened, but Jason is resilient and he'll receive the best treatment available,...

Throw Some D's On That?Just Bought A Cadillac
Mike Conley Sr. quickly created MAC Management Group when he realized that he was in for a big payday. The former youth coach for Greg Oden, Daequan Cook, and Conley Jr. was uncomfortable going at starting an agency all on his lonesome and decided to team up with Bill Duffy of BDA Sports. All three of the aforementioned players were selected in the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft...
Rumor: Carlos Boozer Set to Join Wade, Beasley in Miami ('09)
Dorell Wright's guaranteed two-year deal left the Heat with a little more than $50 million in 2009-10 contracts for 10 players (only Daequan Cook's $1.3 million is at Miami's option). That means ? unless multiyear deals are dumped ? the Heat likely will have a little more than $11 million next summer (if Shawn Marion isn't re-signed) to pursue a free agent such as Carlos Boozer....

Ricky Davis Is Bad for Your Team
Ricky Davis would appear to be a good player in the NBA. He is capable of putting up between 15 and 20 points per game. He can add 3 to 5 rebounds per game. He can jump right out of the gym to deliver thunderous dunks and alley-oops. He is an all-around athletic player who seemingly would be a good addition to any team. Seemingly.

Line of the Night: What didn't Joe Johnson (6.5) do last night? Well, he didn't tuck me into bed, but he was all over everything else. First, Johnson and the Hawks beat the Heat in their 52 second do-over game, and then he went out after a 15 minute break and matched his season high with 39 points, hitting 5 threes and adding 8 assists, 3 steals and a couple blocks. With those wins...

In yesterday's interview on NBA Roto, I predicted that Daequan Cook (-6.1) would go out in the Heat's very next game and shoot 2-10 and finish with 5 points. Well, he actually shot 2-9 and finished with 6 points. Close enough for me to toot my own horn. He did hit a couple threes and grab 8 boards, so it wasn't quite a biggest loser performance, but I believe this is the Daequan...
