The curse of the Lakers!


The season is tipping off today and the news of an injury is already out of LA. Blake Griffin is going to miss not only the season opener but about 9-10 games! It just goes to prove that there can only be 1 king in a kingdom. For LA, it's the Lakers, as long as Lakers are playing good, Clippers would suck bad. Sorry Clipper fans (Billy Crystal), the Lakers are going to rule again (atleast for the beginning of the season). The Laker fans are pretty happy (Jack Nicholson).
OR
Maybe it's the curse of a rookie. The media hype them up so much, they try to do more then they can and end up hurting themselves. Remember Greg Oden?

NBA fantasy basketball

With 7 days left to the start of the regular NBA season, it's time to draft your fantasy teams. Whether you play the official nba stock exchange game, yahoo fantasy basketball or the first nba.com/espn.com fantasy game, I'll let you know about few sleeper fantasy players.
I think these players will have a good 2009-10 NBA season:
Anthony Morrow (with the disgruntled Stephon Jackson, Morrow might get more time)
Anthony Randolph (he's playing good in the pre-season)
Gilbert Arenas (Looks like he's back to being the old Arenas)
Terrance Williams (if he gets some playing time, he can fill the stat sheet)
Earl Clark (with the departure of Shaq from the suns, he might get some playing time, even though he's still a rookie, he can help with rebounding on deeper leagues)
Yi Jianlin (if he stays healthy, he can put up good numbers)
Stephan Curry (again, a rookie but can put up good numbers, granted Don Nelson gives him enough playing time)
Brook Lopez (he had a solid 08-09 season, his numbers should improve this year)
Courtney Lee (more playing time and a young team with run and gun style of game, he shouldn't have trouble putting up double digit scoring numbers)
Brandon Bass (with Rashard Lewis' 10 game suspension, Bass is going to be a great fantasy sleeper)
Louis Williams (With Andre Miller gone to the Blazers, Williams has been given the responsibility to run the show in Philadelphia. Can he actually fill the void left by Miller? We'll soon find out)
Spencer Hawes (Expect him to continue where he left off last year)
Kevin Love (Once he heals his fractured hand, he should be a double-double leader)
Ron Artest (a surprise triple double machine this season)
