Fantasy Basketball: Scola and other stuff....

So, just as I pimp Luis Scola on my blog, he goes out and lays a big fat egg. Typical.

On Wednesday he played a whole nine minutes, took one shot (which he missed) and had a massive total of two rebounds. Think this has anything to do with the return of Tracy McGrady to the lineup?....uh...YEAH!

So, in summation, it looks like Scola will only be useful if McGrady and others in the Rocket lineup are hurting. Otherwise, he's probably waiver wire fodder.

One last comment on Scola...I truly hope he doesn't become the next Marko Jaric, another Eurpoean import who has teased fantasy owners with flashes of brilliance only to disappoint in the long run. One year, I think I dropped and added Jaric at least ten times.

-- Ron Artest has been absolutely beastly this year and as his owner I was absolutely giddy when I saw his line of 33 points and 12 rebounds on Tuesday. But much to my chagrin, Artest was not in the lineup on Thursday. I saw that blank line and thought the worst, like, he bruned his neighbor's house down and was arrested. But, he only missed the game because his daughter was sick, so that is good news. Still, I need him in my lineup at all times. He's too damn good.

-- I had my league mates cursing a blue streak as I beat them to Antonio Daniels after word of Gilbert Arenas' injury broke. But so far, the real steal from the Washington Wizards has been Andray Blatche. Even with Brendan Haywood returning to the lineup tonight against the Warriors, he's been solid.

- Is there anyone more maddening than Troy Murphy? His stats have been terribly inconsistent. On Wednesday, Murph put up a sick line: 20 pts, 9 rebs, 3 three-pointers, a steal, a block, and good percentages. But there's always the risk of him putting up this kind of line from November 17th: 5 points, 3 rebounds, 0 blocks. Still, I like Murph and should be rostered in all leagues.

Good defense by the Washington Wizards drama boys, if only we could patch up the difference, this will be a Washington good season. They are running, switching in defense, rebounding see those efforts. We don't have yet the Wizards team down.
