Kelder does have a first name but only his Mom uses it. He's been playing fantasy sports since before the internet had sites to do it. Not a member of any important organization but he thinks he's super funny! When not consuming baseball, he enjoys church coffee and food in larger quantities than his doctor would like.

There’s been a lot of chatter lately about the NBA declining ratings. I blame you guys for just reading this and not watching. Slackers. Honestly, I’ve watched less too. But it’s not a crisis for the league. Here’s my take. League Pass: There’s no need to watch TNT games, or ESPN, you just watch whatever […]

Hope you all had a good weekend. It’s the depths of the season, where nights off run a plenty. My goal is to sift through the chaff of rest days and find actual changes in rotations. It’s a thankless job, but thanks for reading! Sixers: Oh. My. Gosh. They were at full health. When Joel […]

Let’s hop right to it. Lakers: I’ve avoided writing about this team because, frankly, they’re boring and as a long time JJ Redick fan it makes me sad. LeBron James is showing some signs of age. I’d guess they reduce his minutes at some point benefiting Cam Reddish, Max Christie, and Dalton Knecht. Knecht is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sorry about last week, but not really all that sorry. Thanksgiving is like a vacation for everything but my digestive system. Had a great time with family and did some fun stuff. Did pick up the box scores from the past few days, here’s some juicy chicken nuggets for ya. Celtics: Derrick White has actual […]

Thanksgiving is coming up, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how thankful I am for the several of you who read this site every day. It’s an honor that you guys read, and even more of one if you actually take the advice and not be hate reading and doing the opposite. So, […]

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 […]

One thing the NBA is trying to do is make this play-in tournament thing happen. You can count on teams playing their guys normal minutes, or even extended minutes for these games. The next game? All bets are off, and guys are resting left and right. Same goes to back to back games, but that […]

Oh my gosh. When I went to Jay, our fearless leader, and had the idea to discuss rotations, I didn’t know there would be a 35% increase in injuries from last year, which seemed high anyway. There’s a new one every night and everyone has theories why. I am not nearly smart enough for a theory […]

SHere’s a math problem for you. Increased Pace + shortened training camp= more strains and sprains and tears. This is the under discussed part of the pace and space era of the NBA. Aside from teams shooting 3 pointers at an elevated rate (even if they don’t have 3 point shooters), the new metrics say […]

So THAT’S why Paolo Banchero stopped driving the other night and chucked up three pointers! If you missed it, Paolo Banchero, future first round fantasy pick and guy who hit a 50 burger earlier, will be evaluated in 4-6 weeks for a torn oblique muscle. Talk about a season going sideways, right? If you own […]

One theme this season is the amount of teams with 10 man or deeper rotations. Pace in the league is up. 3 pointers are flying. And all that running and shooting makes people more and more tired and also more and more injury prone. So there’s an inordinate amount in the early going of rotations […]

See, look guys, a theme! I can’t stress the importance enough of monitoring minutes. One thing I should mention, I won’t make notes about blowout games. Yes, I’m talking to you Golden State and Portland. Those minute distributions won’t be accurate. The rest though are gold. Pacers and Pistons: Andrew Nembhard hit 34 minutes, Bennedict […]
