Got the Yahoo! Friends and Family draft Wednesday night, lessssgo. Kostas and Jay from here are in that league as well, along with analysts from Yahoo, Rotowire, Rotoworld, The Athletic (Razz alum Son), Locked On, Hashtag, and more. Will definitely write a lot about it! But now, to get my Negative Nancies out of the […]

Perhaps you can relate to this. I’m in first place in a league for Bulls writers/podcasters/etc. First place. Undefeated. Until Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, and Paolo Banchero (whew, what a rough group of names to spell!), my first three picks, went out. I’ve been doing fantasy hoops for 30 years, and it’s never been like […]

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 […]

I started writing a movie plotline starring Damian Lillard in Canada as a male counterpoint to Stella in the Bahamas, but decided to spare you fine readers that pending trainwreck (and possible violation for racial insensitivity from the Razzball board of directors) and get right down to basketball.  With Giannis taking the night off, Lillard […]

The end of each year is now deemed “Silly Season,” when resting vets on contenders and breakout youngsters on tanking teams play havoc with lineup decisions.  Three weeks into the season, I now declare this time of the year “Wacky Season,” with Wednesday night a perfect example. There are players who started injured coming back, […]

Man, I just realized that the NBA has six divisions.  In the guise of journalistic integrity, I am contractually obligated to write one of these for every division now…

Again, if you missed the Central Division earlier in the offseason, I’m not focusing on the guys for risers in the early rounds…  I’m looking for guys to make a leap and targets throughout the rest of the season.  Teams are in order of how I predict they will finish.  I find that order more fulfilling.

After Julius Randle hit one of the more ridiculous game-winning threes last night to push the Knickerbockers past the Heat, I came up with the above headline. The only problem: I’ve never actually had an Orange Julius – which may be a sin in some cultural circles. Without a frame of reference to consider how Randle may compare the American quencher, I turned to my wife for help:

“It’s like better than an icy.” “I thought it was a smoothy. So it’s like an icy?” “No it’s not an icy.” “So what is it?” “It’s hard to describe. It’s indescribable. It’s like magic.” “So it’s like a mix between an icy and a smoothy?” “No. You’re obviously not getting it. Who are you trying to compare it to?” “It doesn’t matter, I just haven’t had one so just want a description to see if there’s any comparison.” “The most delicious thing I’ve put in my mouth.”

And that was the end of that conversation.
