Well we don’t have games for a week. Time to relax a bit, watch a little college ball, and rest right? Nah. There’s things to do yet. This is one guy’s to-do list. My guy Dan Titus on Yahoo wrote this first. I’m gonna shamelessly copy him here. Divest Yourself of Tanking Team Assets as […]

Wow, that deadline was incredibly fun. If you’re like me, and off work on Thursday due to snow on Saturday (gotta love NC!) you activated the old Shams notifications and were suitably entertained with deals and thoughts of deals. And of course, the fallout. Who’s going to be gaining minutes? Losing? Let’s shovel off some […]
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 […]

Last we spoke, I alluded (maybe allude is too weak a word) to the fact that the Sixers were struggling just a bit, and here we are and they are, checks standings, now 3-13. Now, this is the East mind you, so that’s like what, two games back of first? Okay, that’s a little unfair, […]

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 […]

Forgive the awful pun in the title that relates to an old slogan of Nokia for their mobile phones, but my age and lack of humor cannot be contained. Just like Dalton Knecht cannot be contained as of late and is connecting with impressive accuracy from the 3-point line. Connecting -> Knechting. Don’t make me […]

This is why we love the NBA, am I right? After last night’s loss against Miami, the 76ers have now dropped to 2-11 while the Cavs continued their unbeaten streak to 15 games, beating the Hornets Sunday. While we can definitely make the meta-world argument that everything seems upside down in some manner or form […]

Oh my gosh. When I went to Jay, our fearless leader, and had the idea to discuss rotations, I didn’t know there would be a 35% increase in injuries from last year, which seemed high anyway. There’s a new one every night and everyone has theories why. I am not nearly smart enough for a theory […]

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 […]

We are now officially entering the final hours of the NBA preseason. In just a few days we’ll be watching real games, counting real stats, and likely overreacting to real performances. That is to be expected when weeks of anticipation meet lofty predictions and unrealistic expectations. After posting articles with my Big Leap Candidates and […]
