Buy/Sell: No Pizza For Ben

If you are a loyal reader of this column you will remember that the first article of the season was about Ben Simmons and his path to redemption that we read about every single summer. The initial omens were not particularly encouraging and after 13 games it is safe to say Simmons is not wowing anyone averaging 5.3/0/5.6/6.5/0.9/0.6/2.8 on 4.5 attempts per game.

Rotation Notes: Giddey For Your Thoughts

Chicago: Josh Giddey is rapidly falling out of favor with Chicago and if you can get something for him, I would try to do that thing. He’s not closing games even though he’s starting them. Against Milwaukee he totaled 24 minutes and did very little except get called out by Doris Burke for lack of effort. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Have we already watched six weeks of basketball? Crazy sh*t. I can’t tell if time is flying because of how much fun we’re having, or how much drama they’re having. Why not both?

Forgive the awful pun in the title that relates to an old slogan of Nokia for their mobile phones, but my age and lack of humor cannot be contained. Just like Dalton Knecht cannot be contained as of late and is connecting with impressive accuracy from the 3-point line. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Cavs Can’t Lose, Sixers Can’t Win

This is why we love the NBA, am I right?

After last night’s loss against Miami, the 76ers have now dropped to 2-11 while the Cavs continued their unbeaten streak to 15 games, beating the Hornets Sunday. While we can definitely make the meta-world argument that everything seems upside down in some manner or form since the Harambe incident (experts have said), I firmly believe that we are currently living the peakest of peak-NBA seasons in a while.

Dyson Daniels and Standard Deviations

November 18, 2024 | 2024-25 Fantasy Basketball |

by: NelsonDu

Dyson Daniels is obviously good-like, really good. Nobody is debating that. But I think he’s in the rare position of not being under appreciated, but still being undervalued.

To understand why, let’s think about standard deviations. Standard deviations have become all the rage in fantasy basketball.
