Yes, the NBA is in full swing and they’re keeping the doctors busy, as always. Here’s a rundown of major injuries, and what you can do to fill in the gaps. Anthony Edwards: Missing two weeks with a hamstring strain. Shouldn’t be a long term issue. Last night, Mike Conley got the start and Terrance […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]

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 […]

So while the aggregated thought at the onset of the NBA offseason was that it was going to be one of the “craziest” ever. And depending on your spectrum of crazy (like my ex, amirite?), now looking at the entirety of transactions, it was sorta-kinda crazy? But not? I think when you go full crazy, […]

Have you ever played in an open court with friends or random people and one of those guys was a ball hog? The kind of guy that will take 400 dribbles and take an unnecessary fade-away instead of hitting you or a teammate that is wide open ? And some times even make that crazy […]

I usually browse reddit and the NBA community for funny or interesting statistics and posts and recently stumbled upon this post that detailed all the teammates Cade Cunningham had last season in Detroit. If you exclude the core of the Pistons roster still in rookie deals, i.e. Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren we […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, took a couple weeks off for Christmas break and time with family. By family, I mean in-laws, so it was more survival, but did feel as if the time was well spent not writing and pretty much ignoring the NBA. Back into it now, and weird, almost sinister doings are afoot. Suns: A lot […]

After kicking around some dynasty buys last week, Joel and Ossie look at the other side of the coin and consider sell-high options and outright drops. Is there any reason to believe in a breakthrough from Cole Anthony or Jaden McDaniels? Then the duo discuss what they might seek in return for blue chip dynasty […]
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 […]

I’m going to take the opportunity of a light 7-game Wednesday NBA slate to a quick scream therapy session so I can just get over this and move on for the season. Dear Nick Nurse, AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…. Ok. So, Nurse did it again. Joel Embiid was a late scratch, and we got another edition of Marcus […]

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.

20 years ago, UPS had an ad campaign with the slogan, “What can Brown do for you?”
Brown says: Make your life easier
Brown tells me that you have all the choices you want
Brown says to me: Get your shipments to your customers, when they need it and where they need it
Brown says: Relax, we’ll get it done
Brown says: How about some more pie?
Brown didn’t say that
What a stupid ass commercial but it serves our purpose today because Jaylen Brown freaking delivered the goods on Sunday.
