Fantasy Basketball Team Alpha

· Comment

Just had a 14-team fan­tasy bas­ket­ball live online draft ear­lier at 8:45pm. All I can say is that it was pretty darn long w/ 14. 12 would’ve been great.

Mean­while, the league is hosted by Yahoo. I can def­i­nitely say that I like play­ing on there best as their UI/UX just rawks. Other than it being 14 team man­agers tak­ing about 1-minute and 30-seconds to do a pick, I was upset at first grab­bing the 13th spot in the draft order1. But I guess, it was a good thing on the wrap-around. Here’s how my team shaped up to be:

  1. (13) Chris Bosh — TOR » PF, C
  2. (16) Baron Davis — LAC » PG
  3. (41) Jason Kidd — DAL » PG
  4. (44) Al Hor­ford — ATL » PF, C
  5. (69) Michael Beasley — MIA » SF, PF
  6. (72) David Lee — NY » PF, C
  7. (97) Jameer Nel­son — ORL » PG
  8. (100) Raja Bell — PHO » SG
  9. (125) Ricky Davis — LAC » SG, SF
  10. (128) Monta Ellis — GS » PG, SG
  11. (153) Andres Nocioni — CHI » SF, PF
  12. (156) Mikki Moore — SAC » PF, C
  13. (181) Vladimir Rad­manovic — LAL » PF

I was try­ing to pickup Rudy Fer­nan­dez (Port­land Trail­blaz­ers » PG, SG) for my 13th-spot but he got picked up at the end of the 12th-round. There were a cou­ple of more guys in front of Rad­man but hear­ing that he’ll be start­ing in front of Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza as a Small For­ward, I say why not. He’ll prob­a­bly get some dishes from the inside and sink some threes in. Being a player with only PF sta­tus at the moment, he’ll need to start at least 3-games if I recall cor­rectly in terms of Yahoo dub­bing him as a SF.

Any­ways, I’m happy over­all with my draft being 13 out of 14 team man­agers. But if you got any sug­ges­tions with regards to pick­ing up another Shoot­ing Guard and/or Cen­ter, let me know. I’m think­ing I might need a SG to fill in that 3rd-spot rota­tion till Monta Ellis heals up.

  1. Lebron James went #1. Then Chris Paul #2. I would’ve taken Chris Paul per­son­ally, but you can’t go wrong with either of them. The league set­tings were Yahoo default in terms of posi­tion. The stat cat­e­gories had the addi­tional OREB and AST/TO. [↩]

Archrival “We’re No Angelz” T-Shirt

These are sick, Archri­val “We’re No Angelz” tees. I’m just con­tem­plat­ing whether its best to wear the blue vs. the white ver­sion up here in the Bay. I hope they cor­rect the color as it says “Royal Blue” on the prod­uct descrip­tion; shouldn’t it be “Dodger Blue” =)

Any­ways, sick­ness. Get yours over at thearchrival.com

Los Angeles Dodgers iPhone Wallpaper

In cel­e­bra­tion of the Dodgers win­ning 2 con­sec­u­tive games against the NL’s #1 team, the 97–64 Cubs… at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, here’s a lit­tle some­thing to show some Dodger Blue pride in you. I’m not bag­ging on or taunt­ing any Cubby Fans out there, but you have to admit, the Cub­bies are well favored going into this series. That, and they had home-field advantage.

Any­ways, I’ve had this wall­pa­per a while back on my reg­u­lar desk­top from Man­dolux (Mando Gomez—great pho­tog­ra­pher by the way)1. I have cropped it a cou­ple of weeks back when I got my iPhone. I thought I’d share it with my fel­low Dodgers everywhere:

Let’s go Dodgers! Go Blue!

Dang. Lykke Li. This broad is get­ting major hype. Not only is she bring­ing it, but she’s really dope and tal­ented. If you haven’t heard of the Swedish newcomer’s “free spir­ited, per­for­mance pop” from my Urban Outfitter’s LSTN #1 post a while back, you are miss­ing out. But, don’t fret—it’s not too late.
