It’s a Block Party 2010-11 Style, You’re all Invited!

Bored on a Tuesday night, so why not post some of the top blocks from the 2010-11 season.

Note for #1: This is why people marvel at JaVale McGee and DeAndre Jordan.

Carmelo Anthony has Cost me my Fantasy Season…

Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks strained his hamstring last night in the Knicks game against the Utah Jazz. Since I am not a Knicks fan, I thought about the impact that Melo’s injury would have on my fantasy basketball team(s).

I only have Melo in one of my leagues, thank goodness, but his injury is catastrophic to my teams hopes at winning a title. Even before his most recent injury, Melo has been below par for the past few weeks, suffering from a couple of niggling injuries.

Since it is a keeper league that I have Melo in, I now am taking a deeper look at his career stats and trying to figure out whether I should trade him, or keep him until next season.

Melo has never missed more than 20 games in a season, but he’s only missed less than five games twice in his career. He it typically an average-above average shooter, in terms of shooting percentage, but he’s shooting a career low from the field this year. So, to put it simply I am very confused what I should do with Melo in the long run. If anyone can help me out it’d be great.

Thank goodness I have Russell Westbrook, I never thought I’d say that.

Who Needs Melo’ and Amar’e When you have the Asian Sensation?

And the Asian Sensation returns! Jeremy Lin aka the Asian Sensation came through again tonight for the New York Knicks against the Utah Jazz.

This effort tonight was more impressive than his Saturday night effort against the New Jersey Nets. Tonight, Carmelo Anthony was injured in the first quarter and didn’t return which greatly reduced the Knicks scoring punch. In addition to Melo‘ being knocked out of the game early, Amar’e Stoudemire is in Florida mourning the loss of his brother.

Lin throughout the game was very aggressive, at times overly aggressive which led to his eight turnovers, and got to the rim on countless occasions. Lin was the catalyst for the Knicks tonight enabling them to beat the Jazz 99-88.

For someone who was an afterthought at the beginning of the season, Lin has had a rapid rise to stardom which is great news for Knicks fan who have been desperately looking for a point guard this season.

How long will the run of the Asian Sensation last? Only time will tell!

Lin’s statline: 10-17 from the field, 7-9 from the line, 1 three, 2 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 8 turnovers.
