Two nights in, and there’s already an ancient truth coming-out party. It has been the same since the days of the Aztecs, where they played that crazy game where they shot a ball through a ring and the losing team died. In that game, as in the NBA, the bad players just don’t get that […]

Dan Titus and I put together this league. Titus gave me a legitimate name to float, and we got a lot of sharp analysts (and then myself) into the annual Y! Friends and Family League. (I am old and am currently trying to figure out how to make it viewable. It should be at https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/League/friendsandfamily2025) […]

Off to the West! And just a quick reminder, don’t go nuts over exhibition games. It’s not a real competition. So, maybe it’s just for confirmation bias? Golden State Warriors: The center position is the competition. Al Horford will take his walker up and down the court to start games, based on their practice runs. […]

Preseason Rotation Notes: Southeast Division

I live in the Southeast, which means I should get plenty of Hornets games. Instead, the NBA wants me to drop 20 bucks a month on a streaming plan—and nobody’s about that life. If they ever show up on Hulu Live, then bet. But that’s an access problem. On the court, the Southeast has some […]

Organizing things is kinda hard. My thoughts, well, organizing them is even harder. So I used this format to help me. I had grand idea about general thoughts, etc. I’m not doing anything grand. This is a basic article, folks. One principle I follow here is to not draft guys initially from teams that want […]

Minutes are the lifeblood of fantasy hoops. You can’t score, rebound, or block anything from the bench, and every year depth charts shake out in ways that make or break fantasy squads. This series is all about opportunity: who’s getting run, who’s losing it, and which “next man up” might sneak into your waiver wire […]

We all had the Tingles this Summer, at least those of us who know what a second apron is and why the Celtics didn’t want to be there, but I get it, who has time to talk cooking-fashion when we’re here to talk ball? Basically, the Celtics quickly maneuvered themselves out of a salary and […]

In what happened to turn into a historic trade in NBA history, a smorgasbord (my nickname for yo momma) of players were exchanged in the first ever seven-team transaction that lead to one of the bigger names available being moved, and that is none other than THE Slim Reaper, Kevin Durant. Sure, nowadays he’s better […]

It’s exceedingly hard to write about rotations after a trade deadline. By exceedingly, I mean kinda. Back in my day, guys didn’t rest for two games after being traded. Get in there and get sweaty. But kids these days don’t play that way, so lots of guys sat and watched a game or two. Factor […]

There’s nothing better than sitting on the toilet doing morning business, and major, major trades go down. I’m talking NBA trades. Should probably avoid potty humor, right? So before this goes down the drain, let’s go through a few of the trades that went down and how it affects rotations. Lakers: Get Mark Williams. Don’t […]
