While yes, I am dating myself a bit here mentioning the first time the Jordan Bulls (and any other Bulls team) beat the Lakers in the Finals. Highlighted in “The Last Dance,” we saw the hype of MJ taking on Magic on the world stage, and of course the rest is history. Fast forward several […]

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 […]

Christmas and the new year always represent an inflection point in the NBA. Roughly 30 games into the season, teams have a strong understanding of who they are and who they want to be. This creates the impetus for change leading to trades that will impact fantasy leagues and managers alike. Most trades will happen […]

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 […]

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 […]

One theme this season is the amount of teams with 10 man or deeper rotations. Pace in the league is up. 3 pointers are flying. And all that running and shooting makes people more and more tired and also more and more injury prone. So there’s an inordinate amount in the early going of rotations […]

A departure from discussing draft strategy and speculation, Ossie and Joel break down the Wolves-Knicks blockbuster trade of Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. Should we be taking KAT and Brunson at the 1/2 turn now? How much of a hit can we anticipate for Donte and Rob Dillingham? Then, a cruise through […]

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. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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! […]

After two free-wheelin’ gut drafts, Ossie and Joel tap the breaks and ask the question: But what if we’re wrong? Will fading Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine backfire? Are we passing on Ja Morant at our own peril? Which rookie center — in any — will pay off? Adjust your mirrors, y’all, we’re checking blind-spots. […]

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 […]
