Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century. At 6′ 3″, 236 pounds, Ali was a physical giant in his era. The average height/weight of a male in 1960 was 5′ 8″, 166 pounds. In the ring, Ali could physically pummel foes into submission like a rhino, yet he was nimble enough to flutter around the opposition and peck them humming bird style. Wait? Why am I making this difficult? He could float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. It was the lyrical flow that unlocked the Pantheon, though. He would talk trash, spit rhymes, and back it all up in the process. Depending on your persepective, it was entertainment or a fly buzzing around your head. Joel Embiid could be the modern day Ali. At 7′ 0″, 260 pounds, he is a giant in his era. The average height/weight of a male in 2018 is 5′ 9″, 195 pounds. Thanks McDonald’s. On the court, Embiid can bully down low in the post or Euro step left and spin cycle right on the perimeter, leaving defenders in a tizzy. Like Ali, Embiid has the lyrical flow, both on and off the court. Man, imagine Ali on Twitter! Like Ali, Embiid walks the walk, backs up all the talk, and is the living embodiment of The Process. For all the messing around he does, though, last night was the first time he messed around…..

….and got a triple-double. Beep. Boop. Bop. I was wondering why I saw the Stocktonator watching old clips of Ali with Ice Cube blaring from the speakers yesterday morning. It liked Embiid a lot.
Here’s what else I saw last night:
Usually, the cops are called when a player delivers a 50-burger, but last night history was made at Razzball HQ. The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Utah Jazz, 118-68, which was the first time that the Sound of Da Police was brought out for a 50-burger victory. The Jazz scored 13 points in the third quarter and 9 points in the fourth. Unbelievably, the record for the fewest points in a quarter was 2 (DAL in 1997 and GS in 2004). As a result of the 50-burger pasting, Jazz players…..NO BLURBS FOR YOU!!!
What’s even more unbelievable is that no Mavericks player scored 20 points. Eight players received at least 20 minutes of run and two got over 10 minutes, yet only five Mavs scored in double figures. NO BLURBS FOR YOU TOO!!!

Still in potential phase. Ingram is barely a top 200 player for fantasy.

Got the start and played 32 minutes. Rajon Rondo played 16 minutes. This is how I think the minutes distribution will be for most of the season. I’m bullish on the fantasy prospects for Ball.
Meanwhile I’m still looking for a C3….. Lol Bamba just won’t cut it. Vucci mane is killing it rn! I think I’m gon have to let the youngin go.. For Dedmon? What’s his deal tho, he has been missin in action for a few games now. Other bigs available on the wire are M. Rob, who doesn’t play decent minutes just like Bamba, and….. Ooh wait, as I was browsing thru the FA market I caught a glimpse of Mike muscala. The dude has PF/C tag to him! What do you say? Take a flier on him?
@I just wanna Kawhi: Ha! I made the same pickup in one of my leagues. It’s worth the gamble, but he and Chandler may neuter each other. I still do like Bamba and MRob for the long term
@Son:
Ha! Yea, I’d prolly do M. Rob! Maybe, just maybe! They finally let him string some 20ish minute games! Thanks man!
@I just wanna Kawhi: Anytime. Yeah, MRob does have a more viable path to more minutes
JJJ or Siakam?
Siakam
Sexton is balling right now. Should I pick him up, or SGA
SGA
I have the opportunity to trade Simmons for Butler?
Should I go for it?
@Max: I would
@Son: But then only Assists providers that i have left in my team, would be Fox and SGA 🙁
@Max: That changes the equation then. It’s all about team and league context. I usually pursue that angle, but it’s late and I was being lazy. I think you’ve answered your own question.
@Son: Thanks for answers!!
Should I drop Turner for Barnes? I really need those block but Turner this season is bad.
@Max: Nope
What’s the outlook of Tyreke Evans and Bobby portis?
Not great. Doesn’t look like Reke will get the minutes unless an injury occurs. As for Portis, Markkanen is returning soon
Hey Son,
I got offer my OPJ for taurean prince. would you trade ?? h2h 9cat
my team : KD, Embiid, CP3, Otto, Doncic, Kanter, Lonzo, Redick, Fournier, Hayward, Ibaka, Moore & Dinwiddie
thanks Sir
@Rick: I would not
So if embiid floats like a butterfly but stings like a bee, does Kosta Koufas float like a brick, and sting like one too?
@Craig Bozic: Ha! I like it. How about…Kostas Koufas just bricks, which stings if you had any expectations.
P Bev for Forbes tonight? they’re playing each other. need assists so was leaning P Bev.
@waffles: P Bev or Forbes*
@waffles: Yeah. Forbes doesn’t provide many dimes anyways. Greedy mofo
Like you, thinking McGruder’s 15 minutes in the sun is about to get eclipsed. Tried to getbWhite but failed. The wire has guys like Mack, Evan Turner, Winslow, Wade so I could stream there. 12 teamer, H2H. 9 cats.
I am In first place so I am patient and all about the playoffs. Hold McGruder or stream until Barton gets back? My team…
Draymond, Carter Jr., Ibaka
Mirotic, Daric, Siakam, Tobias
OPJ, Fournier, McGruder,
Harden, Kemba, G Harris, Bledsoe
IR: Barton
@JC:
Also, I tend to combine Dario and Saric LOL
@JC: Ha! I like it
@JC: I’d hold. He’s still getting the minutes and providing peripheral stats. Just not getting the same shot attempts. If that changes, then reassess
AyyyYyyyO!
Wzup Son ?!
Mannnnnn, I just pulled a pretty big trade off,
My Ayton/Prince for his Gobert/Lonzo
Seemed pretty fair. The trade analyzer has it going my way slightly.
But couple guys in the league are already talking about voting against it..
The other owner say’s on the board he knows about Prince’s sore achilles & he’s willing to roll the dice.
How does this trade work for me if it doesn’t get reversed … ? Ugh.
My current roster –
Russell/Dunn/Cook
P. George/Tobias/Prince/Saric/Ozman/Lamb
Embiid/Ayton/Bamba/Robinson/Len/Taj
I’m in 1st place.
@Mr. Blast: I’m not a vote-against-trades guy. It’s such an arrogant thing to do.
Anyways, you lose a little in 3’s and points, but get an uptick in boards and big boosts in assists, steals, and blocks
@Son:
Thanks my dude.
Not too happy about losing the scoring, I’ll look to address that elsewhere.
I’m somewhat stashing Bamba/Robinson, Which doesn’t help my offense.
Been needing another PG & I love me some Rudy, So I went for it.
Embiid/Gobert together, Yes please!
@Mr. Blast: Anytime.
That is a formidable combo at C
Hi Son,
What a write up! Full of goodies with fucking hilarious lines haha.
What’s good? No fantasy related questions for me tho.
All the best!
@Renz: Ha! Thanks Renz! You the best!
NIce write-up on the marathon night. I know you’re a Lakers fan, but you’re welcome to join the Ingram Hate-Train if you want.
@Joel: Ha! You butter me up, then stick the knife into my eye socket? Not cool Joel.
I still believe in Ingram. I was a doubter when the Lakers drafted him, but I was very encouraged by the strides he made from year one to year two.
I had to pick between AD and Harden. Everyone had AD ranked higher (me too) but every time I mock drafted, my Harden teams were better. So hard to find assists late. Well, AD and The Pelicans pace is making me out a fool as I went “safe” with Harden. Why is it hard to pick the better player LOL.
@JC: Process over results.
@Son: Plus, it’s not like Harden is/has been a bust
