Preseason is started, and there should be more and more news coming from the NBA. It’s going to be an insanely fun season. It always is, but now with 50% less tanking! KON KNUEPPEL TO MISS TRAINING CAMP Well, that’s a bummer! The sharpshooter was poised to take a larger role in the offense this […]

Jimmy Butler fell awkwardly yesterday, and the worst fears of Warriors fans, fantasy owners, and the general basketball aficionado were confirmed this morning. The ACL, which was intact before the fall, is now not intact. The 36 year old Butler will be sidelined into next season. There’s no replacing his 20 point, 6 rebound, 5 […]

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 […]

This week is going to be a weird week for fantasy if you are playing in Yahoo, as for some reason that they only know they decided to merge this and the upcoming week into one. That means week 7 runs from Monday all the way to the 15th of December and will include some […]

We’re nearly two full weeks into the NBA season, which can only mean two things: 1. We now have more data with which to evaluate players than we did just a week ago. 2. We still don’t have enough data to form sound judgements on players based on what we’ve seen to date. This creates […]

The Monday games provided a real thriller, with the Atlanta Hawks upsetting the Celtics, after being down 30 points. However, what caught my attention was the last possession, with the Hawks missing the shot, Clint Capela battling and getting the offensive rebound and getting the ball to De’Andre Hunter in the perimeter with a 1-point […]

On the heels of a thoroughly meh trade deadline, Joel and Son break down all the big moves, including Dejounte Murray, D’Angelo Russell, and Bruce Brown! [inter whispers in ear] Or not! Instead, the duo discuss Dallas’ new frontcourt of PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford, Buddy Hield’s fit in Philly, and consider the redemptive possibilities of Richaun […]

Back in my day [classic way to captivate an audience from the get-go], we just called it the night before Thanksgiving. But kids these days [mmk, Gramps] have to slang up everything [even my Zyn] to make ‘em feel special. So now they call it Blackout Wednesday, or Drinksgiving. Well those days are a bit […]

We knew from the preseason that the Wizards would suck this year. They traded away their best players, kept Kyle Kuzma to have someone score until they trade him to a contender and one brief look on their roster is enough to deduce that their defense would be atrocious. All those assumptions have come to […]

For those without kids, that’s Branch in “Trolls” overreacting because he’s scared of success (and friendship), just like so many fantasy basketball players will overreact to the first couple games, when regular bench rotations guys will be proclaimed breakouts of the season, and busts will be said to abound as the rust gets knocked off the boots.
However, while we definitely don’t want to overreact, let’s remember: Branch ended up being right. You don’t want to be caught with that average penny stock and telling yourself, “any day now, it’s gunna go crazy!” [Checks portfolio, sighs with depression, gets back to basketball.] Keep an eye on minutes, rotations and usage more than the general stat lines in these early going.
And with that piece of nonsensical advice, let’s get on with the show! Here’s what caught my eye in the 12 games of the unofficial official opening night in The Association.

Wednesday night shook up the landscape of the league, as D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt are now Lakers, Mike Conley is a Timberwolf, Josh Hart is a Knick and Russell Westbrook is playin’ the blues in Utah (for now). But more on that later. First, let’s get into our regularly scheduled programming: My Wednesday fantasy recap.

Last night I was able to test out a new Seuss-style story during my kids’ bedtime:
“An Ant-man with cool fluffy hair, who went the nation’s capital and let it rain from behind the arch. He was hitting ‘em on the pull up. He was hitting ‘em on the spot up. He nailed 3s on the swing. He nailed 3s on the run. He hit 3s from the corner, at the top. He created a skookum of 3s like it was a skookum of tallywade ….”
