The season is not quite over, but when it comes to fantasy basketball awards, giving an NBA player recognition for something they did during the last week would be kind of like congratulating a sprinter for closing in on Usain Bolt a bit in the last 10 meters.

Top 50 Fantasy Basketball Keepers for 2012
Give Me The Rock26 Apr 2012 | 2:20 pmThis is GMTR’s top 50 long-term keeper list for fantasy basketball keeper leagues. It is based on a player’s estimated fantasy value over the next five seasons. I wrote up the summaries a few games before the end of the season, so the final end of the season stats may differ slightly from the ones presented below. A quick note about this list. It’s tough enough to predict player value for next week, never mind five years from now. Any long-term keeper list needs to balance experience (and predictability) with youth and potential. Therefore, this list trends more towards… -

NBA: A Champion's Praise to the Fantasy Basketball Gods

Give Me The Rock 2012 Fantasy Basketball Awards Ceremony
28 Apr 2012 | 10:39 amGood evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the annual Give Me The Rock 2012 Fantasy Basketball Awards (The Rockies? The Gimmes? Other suggestions? Leave a comment!). While a normal awards show would being with some sort of red carpet special, I have simply substituted something you’ll find just as entertaining (above). The show would then carry on with some sort of musical number by the host, but since this is just a written article that will have to wait for our video podcast (Ed. note: There will be no video podcast). So, with that out of the way, let’s get on with it. -

Day 123 of 124: DNP: Rest
26 Apr 2012 | 6:25 amDay 123 provides us with plenty of examples of why you should not run your H2H fantasy league to the very end of the season. The Sixers, Spurs and Bucks basically sat their entire starting lineups last night. Stars who are even remotely hurt will sit out the final games – Danny Granger, Chris Paul and Andre Iguodala all sat with injuries. And stars that do play will often get the early curtain call, like Steve Nash and Kyrie Irving did last night. It all makes for a mess in the final days of the season. Line of the Night: Except we can always count on the Thunder. OKC played their final…

Thunder Smash Lakers in Game 1
15 May 2012 | 1:48 amThe Oklahoma City Thunder versus the Los Angeles Lakers is the series everyone has been waiting for in the Western Conference. However, despite the hype, Game 1 turned out to be a laugher. The Thunder got up early and then destroyed the Lakers by a final score of 119-90. Russell Westbrook was the player of the game, scoring 27 points, dishing out nine assists and puling down seven rebounds in only 27 minutes of play. He hit 10-of-15 shots from the field and only turned the ball over once. The big run by the Thunder happened in the third quarter. With OKC already up by 15 points at the half,… -
Chris Bosh Injury Update – Ab Strain
14 May 2012 | 7:52 pmThe Miami Heat are the favorites to win the NBA championship. However, their chances took a hit when Chris Bosh got injured in Game 1 of the Heat’s series against the Indiana Pacers. Although the Heat were able to win the game, they have lost Bosh to an abdominal strain. While the team hasn’t given a specific timetable yet, they are saying that Bosh is out indefinitely. If you read between the lines, it sounds like Bosh will miss the rest of this series against the Pacers. “This season has to be extended for me to play again,” said Bosh. “That’s… -
Kobe Drops 43, Lakers Still Lose
9 May 2012 | 12:04 pmThe Los Angeles Lakers were attempting to eliminate the Denver Nuggets in Game 5. However, despite 43 points from Kobe Bryant, the Nuggets were able to survive by beating the Lakers by a final score of 102-99. Denver was led by Andre Miller and JaVale McGee, who both came off the bench. Miller had 24 points and eight assists on 8-for-11 shooting from the field. McGee added 21 points, 14 rebounds and two blocked shots on 9-for-12 shooting. Bryant added six rebounds, five assists and two steals to go along with his 43 points. He shot 14-of-32 from the field and played 43 minutes. Even with the… -
Josh Hamilton Hits Four Homers
9 May 2012 | 9:25 amFor only the 16th time in baseball history, a player has hit four home runs in one game. That player was Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers, who did it Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles. All four of Hamilton’s homers were two-run shots. Said Hamilton after the game: “Obviously it’s, other than being in the World Series, the highlight of my big-league career.” Hamilton’s home runs came in the first inning, third inning, seventh inning and eighth inning. He also added a double in the fourth inning. For the game, Hamilton was 5-for-5 with four runs and… -
Video: Rajon Rondo Cameraman Fight
8 May 2012 | 10:25 pmRajon Rondo and a cameraman got into an altercation after Tuesday night’s game between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks. Apparently Rajon Rondo didn’t want to be on camera and went to the cameraman and told him to his face. You can watch the Rajon Rondo cameraman video below to see how it unfolded. The Celtics ended up losing to the Hawks, with Rondo failing to come through on the final play. The Hawks were up one and Rondo couldn’t get a good look for himself or a teammate and the Celtics were defeated. I’m assuming that’s part of the reason why Rajon Rondo…

15 May 2012 | 3:24 pmI don't get his antics. He moved Kendrick down to 6th in the lineup why? Because he struggled for two weeks. But continues to put Callaspo, Aybar, and Izturis in the 2 hole. They are hitting a combined .200. I hope this guy gets the can. But like everyone else in the franchise he's overpaid so he'll stick around.

Foundation Established
4 May 2012 | 11:55 pmFoundation Established By Steve St-Pierre For the first time in about three years, the Pistons participated in a meaningful season. Despite missing the postseason for a third straight year, the organization has established a foundation built around an owner, a coach and several young players expected to remain in Detroit long-term. Here's a look at how each player performed during the 2011-12 Pistons season: Greg Monroe: Following a promising rookie season, Monroe started at center the entire season. His numbers allowed him to receive consideration for the 2012 NBA… -
NCAA Focus: Andre Drummond
15 Apr 2012 | 2:29 amNCAA Focus: Andre Drummond By Steve St-Pierre The 2012 NBA Draft is full of promising power forwards. If there's a team with one of the top picks looking for a true center, however, they will want to target the Connecticut Huskies' Andre Drummond. The 18-year-old Drummond is already 6'11", 275 pounds and still growing. Though he's still developing his body, he already has a solid feel for the game on both ends of the floor. Drummond can score, pass, rebound and block shots at a high level. As is the case with most young big men, Drummond will need time to… -
NCAA Focus: T. Robinson
1 Apr 2012 | 7:16 amNCAA Focus: T. Robinson By Steve St-Pierre After two years of playing a minimal role off the Kansas Jayhawks' bench, Thomas Robinson has established himself as a legitimate starting power forward at the collegiate level and one of the nation's top overall players likely to be selected towards the top of the 2012 NBA Draft. A junior about to battle for the NCAA Tournament Championship, Robinson is a beast on the block. At 6'8", 240 pounds, he's become a solid double-double threat in terms of scoring and rebounding. With a 7-foot wingspan, Robinson's also a… -
NCAA Focus: Anthony Davis
17 Mar 2012 | 2:48 pmNCAA Focus: Anthony Davis By Steve St-Pierre Projected by most to be the No. 1 pick of the upcoming 2012 NBA Draft, Anthony Davis is the complete frontcourt player. He's 6'10" with a 7'3" wingspan, guard-like shooting and ball-handling skills. In other words, he's exactly what the Pistons will be looking for this summer. Davis' Kentucky Wildcats are the favorites to win this year's NCAA Mens' Tournament. Because of Kentucky's depth, Davis hasn't had to be a dominant scorer. In fact, he might not be a major scorer in the NBA either. That doesn't mean he can't be a… -
Kaman An Option Yet Again
28 Jan 2012 | 5:27 amKaman An Option Yet Again By Steve St-Pierre Michigan-native Chris Kaman has been linked to the Pistons seemingly his entire career. Now that he's been made available by the New Orleans Hornets on the trade market, the Pistons once again have an opportunity to acquire the veteran center. Turning 30 this April, Kaman has established himself as one of the top centers in the NBA since being drafted by the L.A. Clippers in 2003 out of Central Michigan. At that time, the Pistons had been eyeing him before drawing the No. 2 pick in the draft and selecting Darko…

Top Third-Year Receivers Poised For A Breakout Season
15 May 2012 | 3:22 pmOne of the many rules of thumb in fantasy football is to make sure you are fully aware of the many receivers entering their third year of play. The reason for this is because the third year of play often becomes the player’s potential “breakout” season. One shining example of this theory is Minnesota Vikings receiver Percy Harvin, who broke out last season—with a rookie quarterback, mind you—posting career numbers in catches (87), yards (967) while tying his record in TDs (6) from his rookie campaign back in 2009. This theory does, however, come with its fair share of risk involved. -

With that anticipation, however, comes the daunting task of not only getting ramped up for a new season, but also having the fortitude to rifle through the myriad of articles that offer keen advice. Like this one. With that said, we all know that 2012 fantasy football mock drafts and ADP info are in full swing because fantasy football owners are trying to… -
Fantasy Football 2012: Current Top 20 Fantasy Players By ADP
14 May 2012 | 3:31 pmOne of the greatest tools Fantasy Football owners can start using right now in preparations for their Fantasy Drafts, even if they are still a few months away, is to use ADP lists. For those who don’t know, ADP stands for Average Draft Position and could be used as an excellent tool in helping us construct the base of our cheat sheets. Below is a small top-20 sample from our friends at MyFantasyLeague.com, followed by a quick summary from yours truly.

Adrian Peterson Is No Longer Number One Material?
9 May 2012 | 8:37 amIn 2011 Minnesota Vikings phenom running back Adrian Peterson tore both his MCL and ACL ending his 2011 season, which now begs the question whether Adrian Peterson is no longer number one material in Fantasy Football. But the news pouring over the wire is that Adrian Peterson is right on track with his recovery, otherwise continually showing he is in fact a freak of nature. Just recently it was reported that Peterson is not only running—one month after beginning dryland running, mind you—but he beat his teammates during wind sprints according to ESPN TwinCities 1500. As unbelievable as… -
5 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers You’ll Wish You Didn’t Draft In 2012
8 May 2012 | 3:23 pmEvery year we see a growing number of new faces at the wide receiver position who put up surprisingly high stats in Fantasy Football. Whether it be from a rookie, or from a 5-year journeyman, there is always going to be a few receivers who go undrafted in your Fantasy Football Drafts that will make a name for themselves. But what about those guys who should be avoided? Below are a few guys who I won’t be taking this year. When it comes to receivers, it’s always good to keep saying to yourself JUST BECAUSE HE STARTS, IT DOESN’T MAKE HIM FANTASY WORTHY!!! The Seahawks may have…

Top 20 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Claims – Day 124
27 Apr 2012 | 8:55 am04/26/12 (13 games) #fantasybasketball Ed Davis (PF / TOR) decided to flash his ability on the final night of the NBA season. He did the same thing last year, which led to him being drafted in many leagues this season. Just as quickly as he was drafted this season, he was dropped. Don’t be fooled next season, Jonas Valanciunas (C) and Andrea Bargnani (C) will combine to limit the production of Toronto’s big men next year: 24 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 3 turnovers (29% owned). If Jason Thompson (PF / SAC) can keep healthy and holds onto the starting job… -
Top 25 Fantasy Basketball Performances – Day 124
27 Apr 2012 | 8:40 am04/26/12 (13 games) DeMarcus Cousins (C / SAC) did his thing on the last night of the regular season. When we release our 2012-13 dynasty rankings D Cuz is going to be right near the top (if not #1). Once he improves his shooting percentages and increases his defensive stats, he’ll be an unstoppable fantasy player: 23 points, 19 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 turnover. Marc Gasol (C / MEM) had a very solid fantasy season and a solid last night. The best Gasol brother only missed one game during the season too. Toughing out nagging injuries is much appreciated: 22 points, 6… -
Top 20 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Claims – Day 123
26 Apr 2012 | 6:32 am04/25/12 (7 games) #fantasybasketball Evan Turner (SG / PHI) returned to mid-season form with most of the regular players sitting. Turner has a chance to be a fantasy star in the future, but it depends on who the 76ers head coach is… the is a problem in the relationship between ET and Coach Doug Collins: 29 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers, and 1 three pointer (71% owned). JJ Redick (SG / ORL) scored a career-high 31 points last night. The Magic went 14/38 from three point range; that’s no way to win in the playoffs: 31 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal,… -
Top 25 Fantasy Basketball Performances – Day 123
26 Apr 2012 | 6:22 am04/25/12 (7 games) Russell Westbrook (PG / OKC) was on fire on Wednesday night as he closed out the regular season with style. A near double-double and 4 blocks is a huge assist for owners as the final day of the regular season has arrived: 30 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks, 2 turnover, and 1 three pointer. John Wall (PG / WAS) had another great game for the Wizards last night. 7 steals? Yes, please!: 21 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 7 steals, and 6 turnovers. Ryan Anderson (PF / ORL) finished out the game strong after Glen Davis (C) went down in a heap early in the game.
