Quote of the day
"Did we need this? Are you kidding me? I mean we were 3-40. That's not a tough question to answer." -- Nets center Brook Lopez, after a 16-point win over the ClippersDaily Blurb
I figured that New Jersey’s win might provide a good quote of the day, but I may have chosen the wrong one. Perhaps I should have used this one from Baron Davis: “Words can't even describe this.”
Pau Gasol has been a popular pickup since he returned from his latest injury. And he’s been doing OK, averaging 39 TSNP/game in seven games. But that doesn’t even make him the most productive Gasol over that period, as brother Marc has averaged 41.1 TSNP/game over the same period, and at TSN prices, costs about 65% as much as Pao. So which Gasol is more valuable? Granted, Pau’s fantasy point average for the full season is modestly better (Pau: 40.6, Marc: 35.9), but Marc is making it a horse race.
GuruGolf is off and running for the first and only preseason event. More than 100 teams have assembled a foursome for this “just for practice” event, with Phil Mickelson as the popular hometown favorite, on more than 25% of all GuruGolf foursomes. As a reminder, this tournament will be held on two different courses for the first two rounds, so scorecards for those rounds will be matched based on course, rather than round number.
