Whose fantasy is this?!?!?

I hate Gerald Wallace. I hate Andrei Kirilenko. I really really really hate Boris Diaw. The problem here is that I like all three players a whole lot, but they are killing my fantasy team. Wallace seems to have forgotten how to steal the ball or block shots. Kirilenko can't figure out how to score, pass, rebound or steal the ball. Diaw hasn't figured out anything except the five fast food joints that are closest to US Airways Center. Damn these guys.

In my league, each team is allowed to keep two players from the prior season. Last year I had Gerald Wallace, Andrei Kirilenko, Boris Diaw, Brad Miller, Lamar Odom and Rafer Alston. (fyi, in my league, you play head-to-head, start 2 g, 2 f, 1 c. We keep track of pts, reb, ast, stl, blk, to) So I was definitely going to keep Kirilenko. At the end of last year, Diaw was available to play at all three positions. Thinking that would carry over, I kept him, too. Turns out he can only play guard and forward. That was already a blow to my team. Then came the draft.

In order, I took Gerald Wallace, Ray Felton, Andrew Bogut, Kendrick Perkins, Bonzi Wells, Mo Williams, Kenyon Martin, Marcus Banks, Ryan Gomes and Jackie Butler.

Wallace is off to a horrible start, averaging under 10 pts, only 4 reb, 1.3 ast and 1.2 stl, .8 blk and 1.75 to. Compare that to last year: 15.2 pts, 7.5 reb, 1.7 ast, 2.5 stl, 2.1 blk, 1.8 to. Holy crap. What happened in the last 5 months?

Kirilenko is off to a similarly crappy start. I think he is actually averaging in the negatives for points. All of his numbers are way off what they have been the last few seasons. Hey, thanks AK47. You AKforty-suck.

Felton has been a disappointment. His scoring and assists are not what I had hoped they would be.

Bogut has been only mildly disappointing. His numbers are horrific, but they could and should be better. It would be nice if he blocked the occasional shot.

Perkins has been god-awful. I thought this was going to be a break-out year for him. I was expecting him to be a solid reserve at center to the tune of about 8 pts, 8 reb and 1.5 blks. That didn't seem unreasonable. Now, it seems that we're more likely to see him running the point than we are to see him post decent numbers consistently.

Bonzi has barely played, but I expected that. If he can do what he did last year, I'll be happy.

Mo Williams has been a little disappointing. I didn't think he was going to light the world on fire, but I was hoping for something in the Mike James range. His rebounds and assists are pretty decent, but his scoring needs some help. And the occasional steal would be welcome.

K-Mart is getting knee surgery! The other day, one of the other owners offered me Maggette straight up for K-Mart. I declined, saying that it wouldn't really improve my team and I'm not going to make moves just to make them. Then I read a couple hours later how Martin is having knee surgery. Holy crap. Now I'm trying to decide whether to drop K-Mart, forfeit the rest of my season, go to a Nuggets game and yell at K-Mart, or maybe do all three.

I dropped Banks, Gomes and Butler. That Gomes move was pretty stupid in retrospect. Although to fill those three spots, I've got Kevin Martin, Andris Biedrins and Hakim Warrick. So I'm pretty happy with that.

So you thought I forgot about Boris Diaw? Oh no, I saved the worst for last. He's averaging 8.6 pts, 3.8 reb, 2 ast, 0 stl, .4 blk. On the bright side, he is turning the ball over more than in any other season in his career. So right now, one of my keepers is my #9 guy. At the forward spot, he's behind Warrick, AK47 and Wallace(a G/F). At guard, he's behind Felton, Williams, Wallace and Martin. I need to move on to another topic before I start typing in all caps and saying things I might regret later.

Anyways, long story short, my fantasy team absolutely sucks so far. Thank the lord that at least the Wizards look pretty decent.
