NBA Fantasy 3 Stars: Week 1
November 5, 2008
Total Pro Sports - Even though this was a shortened week, we will publish our first week of NBA Fantasy 3 Stars. The first week in any sport is hard to determine who was the best performer. Players are trying to find where they left off last year, as a little rust is still visible on most players.
Not only were these NBA players big fantasy basketball performers, they helped their own team win on the court.
Lets take a look at the NBA Fantasy 3 Stars for Week 1.
1st Fantasy Star - Chris "CB4" Bosh, Toronto Raptors
Chris Bosh was a monster on the court this past week averaging 26 points, 10 Rebounds, and 4 assists per game. He lead the Toronto Raptors last week to a 3-0 record, along with 2 wins on the road. The combination of Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Bosh look deadly, and are already drawing close comparisons to a much more athletic version of the "Twin Towers". If you have Bosh on your fantasy team this kid should be a fantasy starter all the time. Look for the Raptors to keep on improving as long as the team could stay healthy.
Corey Maggette Sidelined With Strained Hamstring
October 23, 2008
Total Pro Sports - Why risk a new $50 million dollar contract in exhibition games. We all know what you can do Corey. At 22.1 points per game, you don't need to show the Warriors or the Fantasy basketball world what your made of. Rest that injured hamstring, and come into the season 150%.
----------------------------------------------------------------
With a week to go before the season opener, the Warriors' $50 million free agent, Corey Maggette, was sitting on the floor during Wednesday's practice, an ice pack over his right leg.
Maggette has a strained hamstring, serious enough that he was to have an MRI exam late Wednesday. He said he'll also sit out today's practice but expects to play when the Warriors open the season against New Orleans on Wednesday night.
"Oh, yeah," he said. "That never crossed my mind that I won't play Wednesday. I've got a lot of time."
Maggette averaged 22.1 points for the Clippers last season but missed several games with a strained right hamstring (he appeared in 70 of 82 games). He said his current injury is different because it's higher in the leg but added, "Hamstrings are probably the trickiest injuries" because a primary treatment is rest.
The forward said he "tweaked" the hamstring in Saturday's exhibition in China, but he played Tuesday's exhibition against a Lithuanian club team, collecting 17 points and five rebounds in 26 minutes. He had five turnovers, wasn't at his best defensively and said he wasn't able to drive with power.
So he's skipping two practices, though he suited up Wednesday and shot lots of free throws.

Larry Hughes Out 6-8 Weeks
October 23, 2008
Total Pro Sports - So much talent, but no luck for Larry Hughes. He's been hampered with injuries ever since he first stepped foot onto an NBA court. Maybe it was best for him to stay a little longer in college?
If your thinking of drafting him ion your fantasy basketball team be very cautions as he is a band aid. If you can get him as a third or fourth option be sure to take the chance on him, but don't draft him earlier then that in you fantasy basketball league.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Team sources said Hughes would miss six to eight weeks after dislocating his right shoulder late in the third quarter of the Bulls' 85-75 victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday night at Target Center.
Sources said it's likely surgery would be avoided, although more tests will be conducted Thursday or Friday.
Hughes had scored a game-high 21 points with three steals before colliding with Timberwolves swingman Mike Miller with 3 minutes 27 seconds remaining in the third. At a timeout 11 seconds later, trainer Fred Tedeschi raced to attend to Hughes, who later had his shoulder popped back into place.
Gilbert Arenas Out Till January
September 19, 2008
Total Pro Sports - After signing that huge contract before the 2007 season for whopping 6 years $111 million, Gilbert Arenas will once again be on the injured list with knee surgury until mid December. After missing most of last with the same injury, he came back late last year for the playoffs. We think only hurt Arenas' knee even more. Coming back from a freshly rehabbed knee Arenas should have made the decision to stay off it for the upcoming 2008 NBA season. Hopefully this decision did not ruin his career as Gilbert Arenas, he is trully somethign special on the basketball court.
Who knows if he will ever return to old form before this knee injury? We will soon find out?
One day after having minor arthroscopic surgery to clean out debris in his surgically repaired left knee, Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas posted a 2,210-word blog entry yesterday in which he said he will likely return from the procedure between mid-December and early January -- several weeks later than the early December return he originally set Wednesday morning.
"I know time frames are dicey, but they said anywhere from mid December to January 1, I'll be back by then at 100 percent," Arenas posted in the entry. "I should be, if everything goes well. So that's the Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza present I'm hoping for."
In the blog post, Arenas described his decision-making process in electing to have the procedure and said he had followed a more regimented schedule this summer in hopes of returning to full strength from the injury.

Andrew Bynum 100% Ready After Knee Injury
September 10, 2008
Total Pro Sports - Without Andrew Bynum in the middle last year the Los Angeles Lakers made it to the NBA Finals. Even though they were lead behind Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, with the help of Bynum in the middle would have made that difference against the Celtics.
Having 2 big men on the court at one time changes the flow of the game. Crashing the boards and keeping players from driving the lanes, makes team gridng harder to capture a win. Remember the San Antonio Spurs and the infamous "Twin Towers", ffeaturing the dual of David Robinson and Tim Duncan? Thats right teams had fits playing against them. Well you can be sure the same will happen once Andrew Bynum comes back to the Lakers lineup.
The smile is back on his face, the sparkle is back in his eyes and, most important, the bounce is back in his step.
Nearly eight months after Andrew Bynum suffered a major injury to his left knee, less than four months after undergoing arthroscopic surgery, 2 1/2 months after finishing his rehabilitation in New York and after six weeks of vigorous training in Atlanta, he declared himself fit to return and eager to proceed.
"Everything's ready to go. I'm 100%," the 20-year-old Lakers center said Friday at the team's El Segundo training center. "I think I'm the only guy who wants to see the season start tomorrow. I can't wait to play with the fellows. I haven't done that in so long. I'm excited."

Monta Ellis’ Mysterious Injury
September 10, 2008
Total Pro Sports - There are many reports on how Monta Ellis actually got hurt, but which one is actually true? Was he actually playing pick up ball with his friends and injured his ankle? Or was he running on a slippery pool deck? We all hope the truth will soon finaly come out.
Nearly two weeks after Warriors guard Monta Ellis had surgery on his left ankle, the mystery lingers as to how exactly he got hurt - and whether it will prompt the team to discipline him.
Ellis initially told club officials he sustained the injury while working out in Mississippi - but the injury actually "happened outdoors and not while playing basketball," an unnamed team source told the Contra Costa Times over the weekend. The newspaper reported Ellis has informed Warriors officials how he really hurt his ankle, though its source did not reveal the details.
The Warriors declined comment Monday, leaning again on last week's official statement, which read: "We are not going to comment until we have an opportunity to speak with all the appropriate parties involved."
Jeff Fried, Ellis' agent, did not return phone calls Friday or Monday.

Give zero to Agent zero
June 2, 2008
The Washington Wizards have been a franchise that has experienced many ups and downs over its short history. The Jordan experiment and the drafting of Kwame Brown standout as low points, in recent years the solid play of Gilbert Arenas has changed the franchise for the better. However, it seems now is the right time to cut ties with their star player and move on.
He is nothing more then a volume shooter who doesn’t make his teammates better. He will be an unrestricted free agent if he decides to opt out of his contract by June 30th, and I say let him walk. Why? You ask well just look at what happened this past season. He was hurt for a majority of the year, playing only 13 games and the team did just fine without him. Caron Butler and Antwan Jamison played spectacular together. Nick Young, Antonio Daniels and Deshawn Stevensen all appeared very capable of running the offense. Not to mention, Arenas is a point guard that averages 5 assists per game for his career. I’m sorry, that not good enough for a maximum money deal.
Arenas seems more content to shine his own star then to make his teammates better. Were talking about a guy who plays online poker in the locker room during halftime, what kind of leadership is that. I can just see him now, Coach, “Hey Gilbert what adjustments do you want to make in the third quarter” Arenas, “I’m going all in”. He seems like a player in the Iversonian mold, selfishly looking for his own shot, while acting like a goof at the same time. How many championships has Iverson won?
So Wizards pay Jamison, pay Butler, and pay Mason jr, but don’t make the mistake of giving money to Arenas and screwing your team for years to come.
