Ten Undervalued Stars in Fantasy Hoops

by Tom LorenzoFiled under: NBA Draft Advice, NBA Value Machine, Fantasy BasketballThe NBA referees seem to be on their way back to work, according to Howard Beck of The New York Times. What a perfect way to open up a post about those who are undervalued. This is not only good news for Dwight Howard and Mike Dunleavy, but it's also fantastic news for NBA fans in general. No disrespect to the replacement refs, but you don't want a pediatrician performing heart surgery. All order has bee...

FIBA Americas Qualifier: Day 6

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:08:33 -0500

By Alfredo R. Berrios ESPNdeportes.com SAN JUAN -- Argentina's Luis Scola knows that the Houston Rockets will go through a transitional phase this upcoming season. Still, the 6-9 forward expects the team to have a good year. "The team is going to face a transition," Scola said. "We'll see how the team reacts with the changes. We might have to play a bit differently than we did last season. We'll have to adapt to the system." Scola, who is playing for Argentina&...

'09 FIBA Americas: Argentina 89, Dom. Republic 87 (OT)

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:53:00 -0500

Luis Scola & timely outside shooting lift Argentina over Dominican Republic 89-87 in OT. Forget about Canada-Uruguay, this game easily qualifies as the best game of the 1st round. Less TOs (total of 16) & less fouls than the Can-Urug game plus the added juice of a lively crowd made for a memorable match.This win happened because of a combination of Scola's interior work and 3pt. shooting. Argentina's shooting had been faltering lately but they turned it on from deep, shooting ...

Will Rockets fans miss the most important trade of the decade? It could definitely go under the radar. H-Town shipped both its 2009 draft picks (to bring in Luis Scola and Ron Artest), leaving most Rockets fans without incentive to follow the NBA’s annual rite of passage. It’s no small secret, though, that the team would like to get rid of Tracy McGrady, and June 25 could be as good of time as any to make it happen. Could they dish him to another area code when supporters have their collectiv...

Video: Derek Fisher Checks Luis Scola with Elbow, Should be Suspended

Thu, 07 May 2009 01:15:47 -0500

The way Laker fans were acting following Fisher’s stinker in Game 1, they might actually be happy if Derek Fisher were to be suspended for Game 3 against the Rockets. Luis Scola seemed to be in the middle of every tussle in the second half of Game 2 Wednesday night against the Lakers, getting [...]

Look-Alikes of the Week: Russell Brand and Luis Scola

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:09:37 -0500

I noticed this thing a long time ago and I simply never brought it to anyone’s attention, but can you believe the resemblance of these two? And this isn’t to make fun of either but both Russell Brand and Luis Scola have got that “missing link” thing going on don’t they? I’m not 100% sure [...]

Now, a lot of people outside of Boston aren't aware, but Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have been having some trouble lately. Yeah, it appears that Jennifer wasn't too happy to learn that Ben was sleeping with Jimmy Kimmel and left him. That sent Ben into a tailspin and he's been seen slumming around Southie with Sloth from the Goonies. It's true. You can't make this stuff up (and why would you want to?). Well, we plugged Ben's and Sloth's pictures into our Ba...
