25.5 for Dwight in the middle of the second. I find it odd for a 24-year-old superstar to be sold because of two games (even very terrible ones). It reminds me of people freaking out and panic trading Durant when he had a bad 3-game stretch in December. He quickly returned to being Kevin Durant (though come to think of it I sold him too for Kobe's hottest stretch of the year). I suppose some traded Howard to raise money to trade Collison, but he's apparently back.

Curry pretty flavorless so far.

In my continued learning of this game, it's obvious how important differential is at this point of the season. I'm in 2nd place in my league and the only 2 different players between me and the 1st/3rd place teams are B Lopez and Westbrook. I do have a trade advantage, but it's gonna be tough to separate myself.

Ugh, looks like Curry was a mistake so far. Hindsight is 20-20 though. I spent so much time debating whether to get him or just go straight to Blatche, but really there was no way to tell, it was strictly an issue of would they perform. Figured missing out on the 4-2 if he went off and most of you guys took him would be more devastating then it ending up not being too worth it.

Looking at scores, alot of heavily owned players are way under their averages - J Smith, B Lopez, Rondo. Weird night

as predicted by me and cbg curry is sure struggling away vs these solid teams, on the other hand collison is still being the c paul replica i think it is safe to say he will be roster worthy until paul returns, hopefully he will not bleed much tommorrow

Oh and thank god dwight howard reached double digit tsnp in the first half today!

I really hated those Curry matchups, but the wildcard was that Ellis and Maggette were both out. The 80 something and 60 something game came in a similar situation.

yea the maggette and ellis out made it 50/50 for me SU

the deciding factor came because i rather have Durant and his trade in this week rather then holding Kidd through this week (I would have had to if i collison>curry)

And Kidd now with phantom DNP tonight! so another sign that it was the right move

also what is up with the CHA guys they are playing terrible

is it just me or has Gerald Wallace been playing pretty lackluster after ASB. He looked like he was half asleep through the slam dunk contest as well I had him as one of my favorites to win.

This may be the first time that Kidd's fart-like nature worked to my advantage.

Matic, you are looking brilliant right now. Fortunately I have Kidd and Curry only on one of my lesser teams that can't win anything unless Blooki gets burned out and gives me a chance at the division. Got the Kidd news half an hour before the game but there was no good way out. Holding for the next 3 then trading for Deron when I free more cash.

yea i knew the kidd 45 15 day average while i had him was way too good to be consistent, for a 37 yr old guy that is fantastic enough,

i was looking at stats and LBJ is 6th on assists in the league 8.5 and he has another crazy assist night, that is crazy for a forward who is also leading the league in scoring

if kobe plays like MJ i'd say lebron def plays like the other MJ

Maybe it's the fantasy geek in me, but I don't consider LeBron and Kobe remotely close as players. Kobe's a great, great player but if LeBron got to play with Gasol, Bynum and Odom he'd come close to going undefeated.

i am like that too CBG in general i tend to judge players based on their tsnp production too much, when i talk to my friends about top players or player rankings i am the only one with certain views, like you would be surprised how many people don't consider rondo a top 5 pg yet.

on another note TMAC with another big teaser night, anyone have the balls this time to pick him up for his upcoming b2bs stretch?

Who could have imagined that one day Andray Blatche owneres would be disappointed with 33.5 TSNP?

matic (re post#11),

I agree about the Lebron and Kobe comparisons to the TWO MJ's
... Kobe is more similar to Michael Jordan while the player similar to
Lebron in history would be Magic Johnson.... Even though I grew
up watching Johnson, I never appreciate his talent as much as I did
Jordan. Sorry to feel a need to point that out, younger readers may
have missed your very accurate point!

51 for Collison. A nice reward for those who held

heh thanks for clarifying for me and i guess i was kind of vague when stating MJ and MJ. I am a younger reader too just I grew up watching these guys ever since I was 5 or 6 so i was able to appreciate watching some of their careers.

Re: 9

Blooki "gets" burned out? Blooki "is" burned out. Been going through the motions for weeks now.

Blooki, I suspected as much but you're still leading the division I'm in with you and your best team is not that far behind my best. Nothing is more irritating than struggling to beat someone you're trying much harder than!

Probably not, but the frustration of the following has to rate right up there: checking in on your teams and find out that you're a day late on a Dwight or Durant or Lee buy date, look for a differentiation move that could loosely justify itself only to finally buy Dwight/Durant/Lee anyways knowing that you could have 35-55 SNP more for each such instance if only you had the availability to log into your teams regularly.
