Update on my fantasy team

I'm playing fantasy basketball for the first time in my life and it's going pretty well. After not setting a lineup for the first four weeks, I've ridden D-Wade, Brandon Roy, Devin Harris, Tony Parker, Yao, Josh Smith with contributions from Kendrick Perkins, Barbosa and Posey back into the 6th and final playoff spot. Now I know you could care less about my fantasy team but I'm telling you anyway.

Garcia dribbles around, pulls up for a three which misses back iron, gets his own rebound and sets up Jason Thompson under the hoop for 2 free throws. Good.

Doesn't help on defense and his teammate McCants commits a foul. Questionable decision but what do I know.

Garcia drives left off a screen by Jason Thompson who dishes to Spencer Hawes for a dunk. +1 hockey assist for Garcia.

Garcia spots up quickly (he has a kind of split-legged pull-up jumpshot) and nails a long two. Not to be picky because he might actually be really good at this but c'mon, get your feet behind the line.

Garcia blocks from behind and starts a break that ends in Bobby Jackson tossing an alley-oop to Spencer Hawes. (Bobby Jackson follows it up on the next play by saving a long pass through his legs to Spencer Hawes for the dunk, which earns a ("If you don't like that, you don't like Kings basketball!")

Francisco lets Troy Murphy dunk over him. Luckily, that doesn't matter in fantasy. Next possession he helps well on defense and then denies his man well on the inbounds. Finally, he stumbles around a Jeff Foster screen and Marquis Daniels hits a long two. In my opinion, it's more the move by Daniels and less Garcia's bad defense which caused the play.

Kevin Martin doesn't get a pump-fake-jump-into-the-defender move which makes me very happy. I like Kevin Martin and I think he's a very good player but he's a flopper and that is annoying.

Troy Murphy drives and throws down a sick reverse dunk which the Kings announcer describes as "surprisingly athletic".
Angela Tsai tells us that Garcia has dislocated his right ring finger and his return is questionable. Awesome.

Garcia to the hole, a little out of control but he gets fouled and knocks down two at the line.

Garcia missed a jumpshot

Non- displaced fracture… late injury report

DVR malfunction – skip ahead to 6 minutes in the 4th Kings down 13.

Garcia forces a long two and misses.

McCants (he plays for the Kings, in case you were wondering) makes big plays at both ends of the floor to cut the Pacers lead to 10 but Travis Diener and Jarrett Jack knock down shots prompting garbage time.
