The holidays are now past, and if you’re like me you kinda let some things slide. I mean, it’s hard to watch basketball in Mexico when the Hulu Live doesn’t work and the replay websites don’t load. Box score watching and injury report reading was the way for a week. Let’s catch up on some […]

We’re now at the 10-game mark, a time and place where numbers start getting real, and y’all know what happens when we keep it real in Fantasy Basketball… I’m actually not sure, so you’ll have to let me know. In the mean time, we’ll keep it the literal real, in that, we’re gonna take what’s […]

I will avoid deeply discussing the major topic of last week in the NBA, which is none other than the arrest of both Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups by the FBI for alleged illegal gambling, by leaving it to just that in general maybe the professional sports leagues embracing gambling was a bad idea and […]

A lot of aggregated word of mouth out there is calling this opening stretch of basketball as the best ever, but honestly, is it really the best if half of the content is akin to watching a multi-car traffic accident in slow-motion? Don’t get me wrong, there’s been incredible on-the-court play, but you mix in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I couldn’t go with Playoff P, now could I? Yes, I did tease this commentary a bit with yesterday’s rankings, and you might think I’m being a bit harsh on the Sixers… but it’s nothing that hasn’t been already said by the fanbase itself, so therefore I absolve myself of any sins. Plus, I make […]

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 […]

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 […]

After spending a few days in the woods, the Razzpod returns with Joel and Ossie breaking down the rest of their rosters for Racco’s Mid-Season draft. Together they tease out how to navigate a slow draft after previously healthy players go down while you’re still drafting (looking at you Evan Mobley and Darius Garland), how […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Paulo Banchero crossed the 40-point mark for the first time in his young career on Wednesday night, finishing with 42 points on 16-of-26 shooting (1-5 3PT, 9-12 FT). Sure he was stingy, dishing just one dime to go with his 6 boards and 2 blocks. But it’s a nice opportunity to highlight his jump in […]

The end of each year is now deemed “Silly Season,” when resting vets on contenders and breakout youngsters on tanking teams play havoc with lineup decisions. Three weeks into the season, I now declare this time of the year “Wacky Season,” with Wednesday night a perfect example. There are players who started injured coming back, […]

Last night, I got to have the unique experience of watching Nikola Jokic with someone who’d never watched him before, having it on my TV with my wife and 14 year old daughter. I loved every comment. It makes you appreciate the Joker’s greatness from a different lens. A sampling of the comments:
Why are they starting the slow white guy?
How does an NBA player run like that?
He looks so tired.
Wait, that was a really nice move.
How come he’s dribbling up the court if he’s so slow? Wait, wasn’t that a great pass?
He can shoot 3s too?
They went from laughing to all out appreciation. I finally told them at halftime that he’s the best player in the world and they should stop besmirching his name.
Oh yeah, he had a 29-13-11 triple double. Even chipped in a steal and a block to go with 3 treys. Of course you drafted him number one and he’s a cheat code.
