http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/4473 Recent articles about Francisco Garcia en-us When it comes to small forwards, LeBron James is king, with Carmelo Anthony right behind him. He confirmed that he's 6'9 and 260 pounds, yet he's fast and athletic. He had an MVP caliber regular season with 30 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 7.2 APG 1.8 SPG and 1.1 BPG. Unguardable 1-on-1, LeBron is only 23 years old, and is a force to be reckoned with in the NBA.

Him, Tim Duncan, Lamar Odom, Shane Battier, Kelenna Azubuike, Darko Milicic, C.J. Miles, all woke up on the wrong side of the highlight reel.

The Kings took the season series 2-1 and Artest was the big hero from deep in the end, hitting 4 clutch 3 pointers to help the Kings knock the Hornets out of first place for the second time. The Kings are doing their part in the playoffs, even though they aren't in it.

Plus, in honor of Brad Miller undergoing surgery, the team wore headbands. Check out the pics in the comments.

Richardson was 4-12 from the field and 1-7 from three. He scored 9 points with 1 rebound and 4 assists as the Bobcats got torched by the Celtics backup squad.

So for you fantasy owners that are contending for a Championship in your H2H or Roto leagues, consider these guys that can help you in certain categories.

The Nuggets could lose the 8 spot if the Warriors win today.

Pause it at 0:41 and there's the poster.

Instead they stay in 6th place, diminishing their chances for the Southwest division title and homecourt advantage. Great game to watch all the way down to the end. Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:00:27 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/226751 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/226751 Wow Ron! Thanks for the news flash. Although it's being blown out of proportion because he said it, no one's saying he's wrong. They matched last years total with 33 wins, with 9 games left, so there is improvement. "We're definitely better than last year â€" easily," he said. "We have 33 wins, and we've been through so much." Staying on that they've definitely gotten better than before. John Salmons has improved after starting 35 games and is starting to find his place on the bench. Francisco Garcia has been a consistent scorer, and a clutch one too. Both scoring +11 PPG. Spencer Hawes showed that he was definitely the right pick at #10. In his first start vs. Memphis he grabbed career highs of 19 points and 12 rebounds to go with 3 blocks and 2 assists. Can't forgert about Beno Udrih. He was a miracle to find after the Spurs traded and the T'Wolves cut him, the talent on him is amazing. A lot of bad stuff has happened though. The Kings had long term injuries to Artest, leading scorer Kevin Martin (23.4 PPG), and Mike Bibby before he got traded. Throw in a rookie coach, a brand new staff and no point guard at the beginning of the year, it wouldn't be easy getting into the playoffs in the first place. They didn't even win their first road game until the 10th try. They're also 2-10 in their division, beating the Lakers in L.A. and the Warriors at home. Artest and his antics have toned down. He did serve a 7 game suspension at the beginning of the year. The Justin Williams fiasco was pretty bad, especially whn there was no case at the to start with. They've beaten some of the best teams in the NBA but lost to the league's worst. For every thing that the team's done, there's a counterbalence to offset to what they've done. With 9 games left until the off-season begins, they'll have to do their best finish out the year on a good note.

In this article we highlight some players that can help you this week as you battle for the right to play for your league championship. Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:53:51 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/224627 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/224627 With both Ron Artest and Brad Miller and Beno Udrih racking up DNPs for the Kings latest game, both Francisco Garcia (3.6) and Spencer Hawes (3.6) came ready to play. Garcia played 31 minutes and was 7-13 from the floor, finishing with 15/4/4, 3 steals and a couple blocks. Hawes had 19 and 12 with 3 blocks in 38 minutes of action. I know no one wants to play attention to the Kings, but if Artest or Miller were to miss any significant time, these two guys could have a lot of value.
