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 […]

Dan Titus and I put together this league. Titus gave me a legitimate name to float, and we got a lot of sharp analysts (and then myself) into the annual Y! Friends and Family League. (I am old and am currently trying to figure out how to make it viewable. It should be at https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/League/friendsandfamily2025) […]

Preseason Rotation Notes: Central Division
September 30, 2025 | 2025-26 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Strategy |by: The Educator
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 […]

Chicago: Josh Giddey is rapidly falling out of favor with Chicago and if you can get something for him, I would try to do that thing. He’s not closing games even though he’s starting them. Against Milwaukee he totaled 24 minutes and did very little except get called out by Doris Burke for lack of […]

At around 15 games in, we currently stand just shy of the 20% mark of the 2024-2025 NBA season. Can you believe it? A mere 15 games ago — 4 weeks! — everyone assumed the very best of their favorite team and its players. Hope sprang eternal across the NBA and its fanbases. Even 76ers […]

November 19, 2024 | 2024-25 Fantasy Basketball, Podcast |by: Mr. Hooper
Ossie returns from the IL to join Joel and the duo kick off the show discussing the surprisingly bright future in Portland and the predictably grim state of affairs for the Bucks. After considering the prospect of trading away Giannis Antetokounmpo (don’t do it…yet. Maybe. Unless…), the pair examine the development of three Jalens (Williams, […]

October 29, 2024 | 2024-25 Fantasy Basketball, Podcast | 7 Commentsby: Mr. Hooper
Draft season is over and the NBA marathon is underway! As expected, CJ McCollum is returning first-round value, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic look sharp while Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton scuffle, and Andrew Wiggins is outproducing Devin Booker. Pretty standard stuff, yeah? March and April are often called the “silly season” but the numbers […]

See, look guys, a theme! I can’t stress the importance enough of monitoring minutes. One thing I should mention, I won’t make notes about blowout games. Yes, I’m talking to you Golden State and Portland. Those minute distributions won’t be accurate. The rest though are gold. Pacers and Pistons: Andrew Nembhard hit 34 minutes, Bennedict […]

NBA basketball is nigh! In the last hours of the preseason, Joel and Ossie review their rosters and rattle off the players they’ve hitched their wagons to and feel good about as well as those that came with buyer’s remorse. Then, the duo gaze longingly at the players they wish they had more of and […]

This is not meant here to be a comprehensive preview; there’s enough of those floating around to get lost in the noise. I’m hoping to do more of a news and notes weekly article for y’all. So in that spirit, here are just some guys who strike my fancy in a good or bad way. […]

September 18, 2024 | 2024-25 Fantasy Basketball |by: The Educator
Partook in a mock draft last night. Well, honestly, I didn’t. I’m in the area that’s affected by that tropical storm in the Carolinas and the internet wasn’t working. When the email finally came through saying “Thanks for participating” I laughed and laughed. This team is completely the opposite of what I would have done! […]

Does this mean that summer is so over? Not quite, but we are talking fantasy hoops again. On the first episode of the ’24-25 season, Joel and Ossie recap an NFBKC draft that went down in early August. Twenty-five picks and $150 later, did either one do well enough to take down some of the […]
