Quote of the day
"We haven't had much success here. We've lost nine times coming into this building. So it gets the monkey off our backs. But don't read too much into it." -- LeBron James, after the Cavs won by 20 points in BostonDaily blurb
It no longer seems to matter whether Monta Ellis is playing or not. Stephen Curry continued his torrid play with 30 points, 13 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and a block. Over the last three weeks, he’s averaged 23.4 points, 8.6 assists, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.9 steals, while shooting almost 50% from the field and 91% from the line. Ay carumba!
Since the NBA All Star break, 22 players have averaged 40 TSNP or better. Those players have an average price of $7.65M in the TSN Ultimate game. But three of them have a combined price of only $8.8M, which enables just about any moderately wealthy team a chance to compete effectively. You probably know who they are – Curry ($3.95, 49.3 TSNP/G), Darren Collison ($1.7M, 48.1), and Andray Blatche ($3.18M, 40.0). Not surprisingly, all three rank in the top ten in ownership. It looks like there isn’t much roster diversity at the top, so it’s going to be difficult to make a big move with only a month and a half remaining in the season.
