The Wire Troll: Boban Marjanovic Blowing Up in Philly

Zeller’s on a nice little roll. flirting with a double-double in each of the last six games, while reaching double-digit points in four straight. His bucket count’s up the last couple of weeks after a slow start to the month and his overall PT has risen this season, giving him the chance to become a Fantasy factor again. In fact, this is his best rebounding season yet. Since he returned from an injury two and a half weeks ago, Zeller has really turned it on, so needs to be owned in smaller formats and given strong consideration in standard-sized leagues.

The Wire Troll: James Reimer Rolling for Panthers

Recalled in late-December, Pirri looked amazing when first brought up, but has slumped recently. Still, he scored Tuesday and had two shots while going +1 on Thursday, so is showing signs of life. There’s talk that Pirri could move into a top six role with the top line not playing as dominantly as it did last season. As an UFA this summer, he’s sure to garner some serious interest from teams looking to add scoring.

Blu-ray Review: A Star is Born

We really enjoyed the way things were filmed and presented, particularly the concert performances. There aren’t any tricks here. These are the real people on stage in front of real crowds with a cameraman or two circling them as they perform. That’s it. Cooper also uses a lot of unique framing and angles during the quieter times, and the result is a film that’s visually interesting from start to finish.
