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 […]

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 […]

The ridiculous and predictably bad “condensed” NBA schedule has finally reared its ugly head. The injuries are rolling in faster than me when they say there’s free cake in the break room, and fantasy teams everywhere are hurting. Hopefully you have multiple IL spots.
