Talk about a tough day, Dionte Christmas got cut from the Philadelphia 76er’s, got stopped by the cops on the way home, didn’t have his license and got caught with a loaded 9mm under the front seat of the car. And the real kicker, it wasn’t even his car or his gun, they both belonged to Marreese Speights. Hang in there Dionte, things will get better. On to the fantasy news:

OregonLive.com reports that Steve Blake is still the starting point guard in Portland. I don’t really agree with the move that seems to be based on ‘chemistry’ rather than talent. The only way to develop chemistry with Andre Miller is to get him out there starting with your other starters. Yes, Portland won 54 games with Blake, but how many would they have won with Miller?
