It’s official: Sneaker News is in a rut. Not nearly as bad as the one a certain Cleveland sports team endured, but Week 16 resulted in another loss – the third defeat in a row. A convincing 1-7-1 loss against TeamTITS left the Sneaker News front office no choice but to change up the roster, as both James Harden and Mike Bibby were sent packing for the high-flying Demar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors and Ramon Sessions of Cleveland Cavaliers. With three big-time contributors still on the sideline with injury (Amare Stoudemire, Eric Gordon, and Emeka Okafor), does Sneaker News have what it takes to bounce back from this slump and rise up the ranks in the FLuD Watches “Barksdale & Bell” fantasy basketball league? This week’s match-up with sixth-place ORISUE should determine that. Stay tuned to Sneaker News to see where Team Sneaker News ends up next week!
