The pickings are getting slimmer than than Fatboy — or Shady — or Carlos. (Ouch, 0-for-3.)

I’m already getting teary over the fact that we’re nearing the end of this delightful mocking adventure but there’s still work to be done, so let’s truck on, friends.

Concerning Luol Deng vs. Rashard “the hack” Lewis, it appears that things have nearly evened out. Regardless of the outcome, I’m glad Henry and I will have this trifling scuffle to keep track of throughout the season.

We’re not working with all that much in these parts, but what we have are a bunch of players who, like Henry said in round 10, have shots at making some serious comebacks. The rest of the picks basically force you to choose between the known and the unknown. The risks are certainly mitigated down in the last three rounds, but a steal down here will draw the ire and admiration of your opponents.

For you naughty ones who have to catch up, here are round one, round two, round three, round four, round five, round six, round seven, round eight, round nine and round 10.

Now, onward to the almighty round 11: (continue reading…)

Beast of the Night: Chauncey Billups put up 37 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and hit 6 threes in Oakland last night. He shot 58 percent (11-19) from the field and 82 percent (9-11) from the line and seems totally over his groin injury.

Notable lines:

Beast of the Night: Aaron Brooks had himself a fine game last night, finishing with 34 points, 6 threes, 3 rebounds, 5 dimes, 2 steals and 4 turnovers. He shot 50 percent from the floor (11-22) and hit all six of his free-throw attempts. He’s on a nice little streak right now.

Notable lines:
Yi Jianlian – 7-17 FG (41%), 5-6 FT (83%), 19 Pts, 11 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 4 TO
