On Saturday night, I was in a German shop which sold a variety of imports, from marzipan to steins to cuckoo clocks. As I was eyeballing the clocks on the wall, the shop keeper came up to me to chat. As my companion asked about maintenance of the clocks, he noted that like anything made […]

From A Father To A Hickson
December 21, 2012 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 27 Commentsby: ChrisV
Sorry for the late post, folks, but James had an emergency pop up and I was neck deep in work related stuff. You don’t care, just so long as someone can sing the praises of J.J. Hickson from last night. Ahem. “He’s in the middle without any plans, he’s a boy and he’s a man. He had […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Robin Has A Great Night(wing)
December 20, 2012 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 49 Commentsby: ChrisV
People had grown increasingly frustrated with Robin Lopez. With Anthony Davis back, he saw a mere 15 minutes the day before, and in the past week, he was only averaging 7.5 PPG and 3.3 RPG. Well, Davis finished with 16/5/0 and a block while Lopez earned 22 points, 9 rebounds, an assist and 2 blocks. Ryan […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I never thought I’d talk about him again this season, unless he got a DUI or something, but Lamar Odom had a pretty good night with 6 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. The game before, he went 10/5/1/0/1 and before that, 5/9/2/2/3. He’s, uh, he’s on my radar now. I feel…sad. He used […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Initially, I heard that Pau Gasol practiced for the first time in 2 weeks and would return by Christmas. I then checked another source, which said he would play Tuesday night. Technically, that means he will be back “by Christmas,” but that’s a week difference. I need some accuracy! “Me too” – Austin Rivers. The […]

December 17, 2012 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 31 Commentsby: ChrisV
With Kyle Lowry and Andrea Bargnani out of the line-up due to injury concerns, Jose Calderon started for the Raptors and finished with a triple double (18 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists), plus a block and a steal. Eventually, Lowry and Bargnani will come back and there will likely be no place left for Calderon […]

The Power Forward situation in Phoenix is dreadful. Luis Scola returned to the starting line up, and only managed to play for 13 minutes. Thanks to terrible shooting, he finished the night 4 points to go with a rebound, assist, steal and block. Markieff Morris, meanwhile, had 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. That craptastic line […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?People love dates that you can write consecutively. How many people were married on October 10, 2010? Exactly. To commemorate today, I defecated at 12:12 p.m. (EST). I know you can’t really share that moment with me, so how about we check in with the Razzball Commenter Leagues? Yes, let’s. The RCLs have been in full […]

December 11, 2012 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 26 Commentsby: ChrisV
From time to time, we here at Razzball like to take a look at some guys who are doing well in the league in one particular category but remain less than x% owned; in this case, the ceiling is 65% ownership. One man who fits that criteria is a guy whose name keeps creeping into […]

December 11, 2012 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 15 Commentsby: ChrisV
Admit it, your palms were getting sweaty when you saw Jeremy Lin come off the bench the other day. He had 7 or fewer points in the prior 5 games. You felt a little ill. “I need some ginger ale,” you tried to say, but your voice was raspy. The words couldn’t come out. Well, […]

Hopes were that Dirk Nowitzki would be back in action this month following surgery in October, but Dirk has told reporters he does not expect to be back soon, indicating he has “a long way to go.” He said swelling has kept him from returning, although he has avoided any setbacks. As of now, expect […]

December 10, 2012 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 25 Commentsby: ChrisV
Mike D’Antoni is basically the only coach I ever talk about, and it’s partly because of the mustache, partly because of his offensive style. Chris Duhon has become revitalized under his old coach’s system. Last night, he shot for 12 points with 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 of 5 from downtown. His assists have […]
