So sad...
This past week my fantasy basketball teams have suffered severely due to injuries that have plagued my most important players. On one team, I lost both my star centers Brad Miller and Big Z (Zydrunus Ilgauskus). On the same team, I also lost Jamaal Tinsley midway through the season, Al Harrington just a few days ago, as well as Doneyll Marshall. Most recently I lost Big Z and donyell in this league, which has screwed me into using people like Lorenzo Wright and Reggie Miller as replacements. For the earlier players I had to replace, I was lucky enough to have picked up Andre Miller, who has just recently awoken back into all-star form, Joel Przybilla, who is a rebounding/shot blocking monster (read: the new Theo Ratliff), and Kenny Thomas (meh). This is really the only league I care about, even though I have no chance at first place because the first place team is ridicululously good.
In my other league, I was much more steady, as I did not draft as a good a team to begin with, but managed to finish the regular season 2nd. I was very bitter to have to drop Theo Ratliff half way through the season, and settle for half-assed replacements like Dampier who will only have a good game on a blue moon. I did get some luck in getting my hands on Stephen Jackson when he returned from suspension, probably my only consistant pickup. Two others that have recently played well consistantly these last few weeks are Ricky Davis and Anthony Johnson of the Pacers. AJ is a PG that is hardly ever used but due to the injury plagued Pacers lineup, the've exemplified their depth with guys like him picking up a lot of the slack. I also lost Big Z and donyell on this team unfortunately, and in this league, I don't think I'm going to be able to tough it out this next week to try for the championship. Kyle Korver just started sucking it up the past 2 weeks so I had to let him go. He wasn't helping at all. I actually resulted into using players like Ruben Patterson and Bob Sura who just happened to have better schedules. *sigh*
Alas, I'm going to be sad that this fantasy bball, along with the NBA season, will come to an end in the next week and month, respecitively. This was sadly, probably the thing I paid the most attention to in the past 8 months. I am a NBA junkie.
