Fantasy News & Notes, Week Six
How’d you all fare last week? I won 5-4 over a weak team, but I somehow managed to move up from 11th to 8th in the standings. If I can pull off my first 6-3 of the season this week I’ll be back to .500 and potentially back in the playoff picture. That’s been my problem this year… I haven’t beaten anyone badly. I’ve won more match ups than I’ve lost, but every...

Knicks Fall to Orlando
If you wanted to understand why the Knicks moved heaven and earth to get themselves Tyson Chandler before the season, hopefully you weren't blocked from watching Monday afternoon's game against the Magic.
Chandler, with plenty of help from his friends, shut down Dwight Howard at the Garden and rendered him mostly irrelevant to the outcome of the game. After watching Shawne Williams...

Game 8 Nets @ Raptors Jan 6
After a brutal six game losing streak, the Nets are finally back on board with a win. The Raptors may not be the best team in the league, but they came into this game fully healthy and on a two game winning streak, something that could not be said about the Nets. With MarShon Brooks and Damion James out, this game could have been a seventh straight loss, but give the Nets some credit...

Comments From the Other Side - Nets 1/4
Nets fans are pretty much resigned to be terrible this season. You have to feel for a fan base that doesn't want the first pick in the draft because "he'll just get injured." In the midst of all the losing they are all very high on MarShon Brooks and at least have his good play to be happy about. Enjoy today's Comments from the Nets fans.... There are...

Despite his team's 1-5 start to the lockout-shortened NBA season, Nets coach Avery Johnson isn't ready to lose faith just yet.
"This is not a dire moment for us," Johnson said after Monday night's 108-94 loss to the Pacers at the Prudential Center. "I am so encouraged . . there is no surrender. I am still just as excited about being the coach here, and working with our guys."

Buy:Greg Monroe, PF/C, Pistons: Monroe: Monroe was drafted a round or two too low on average, and in season two he has a become a huge focus of the Pistons' offense (15 points), while proving an excellent source of rebounds too (9 rebounds). Not a great source of blocks, but assists (3 p/g) and steals (1 p/g) a bonus.Al Harrington, PF/C, Nuggets: The frontcourt is thin...

Will "Sure Shot" Steve Novak Prove To Be Clutch For Knicks?
Despite Tyson Chandler's slow start and Toney Douglas' struggles as a playmaker in the Knicks' offense, it's in fact the lack of depth and many questions surrounding the team's bench that will ultimately bring them down. That is, if the Knicks do not eventually find a balance and receive a boost off the bench.Last season it came from Douglas and the gem that was uncovered in Shawne...
