ATerrificLife readers all know that the NBA is by far my favorite professional sports league, and that I love basketball!
I had my first Fantasy Basketball draft with my Fantasy Football league and a few other buddies on Monday. I had second pick, and took Lebron James, and then proceeded to grab a number of bigs, my team is fairly risky, since there are a number of injury risks, but I have plenty of backups, so it should be fine. I do not have any 3 pointers, but I hope to counter that by dominating FG%, Points, Rebounds and Assists and hoping that Tony Allen and some of my other guys can come up with steals and FT% get myself into the championship. Looking for Ty Lawson to have a breakout year as well!
As far as real basketball, my Celtics are in pretty tough shape this year. They failed to acquire Chris Paul and recently lost Jeff Green for the season (hope you are alright man!) which means our 5th best player is Brandon Bass, who will be coming off the bench. I think the C's are going to struggle regular season, and sneak into the playoffs, where they will probably do some damage for the last time. The lack of depth and athelticism of our star players, and New York, Miami and Chicago all young and bound to improve on already impressive seasons last year, and the surging Indiana Pacers and Philly 76ers are going to present a number of challenges. In the West, it is going to be exciting to see the Clippers and Thunder who are being touted as favorites to win the Conference. Scrappy Memphis, quiet Portland, aging San Antonio and the angry Lakers are all going to be in the mix as well.
I can't wait for Christmas day!
