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. Connecting -> Knechting. Don’t make me […]

Ossie returns from the IL to join Joel and the duo kick off the show discussing the surprisingly bright future in Portland and the predictably grim state of affairs for the Bucks. After considering the prospect of trading away Giannis Antetokounmpo (don’t do it…yet. Maybe. Unless…), the pair examine the development of three Jalens (Williams, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. The reason is obvious: at its core, standard deviations […]

With Ossie away, Joel is joined by Razzwriter Maks to discuss life abroad, finding a fantasy community as an American ex-pat, and early impressions of the still-young NBA season. The pair put Nikola Jokic’s historic start in context, examine how Karl-Anthony Towns jumped Jalen Brunson in New York’s fantasy pecking order, assess Tyrese Haliburton’s bounce-back […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As the season turns, so does my soft tissue damage. Haha, basic injury joke because the NBA is literally an active war zone at the moment, no offense to the other war zones around the world, of course. But the truth is, are we seeing an aberration or was last season’s relatively mild injury list […]

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 […]

With 12 games played for most NBA teams and 1/10 of the season already behind us, we can make some initial observation about this fantasy season. One easy one is that Nikola Jokic is playing on another fantasy level this season and is comfortably and by a margin ranked first in value. And how could […]

So we’re at that special time and place when all NBA teams have played at least 10 games and most are around or near the dozen mark. And as many of you have seen, even if you just merely peruse the injury list from time to time, know that the (generally) first 10-12 game sample […]

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 […]

Sometimes there are signs that things in the world are not going as they are supposed to go. Like the equilibrium of the cosmic powers is at an imbalance. Older civilizations relied on omens to determine this, such as the flight of the birds or natural disasters. In our modern era, we have more advanced […]
