In what happened to turn into a historic trade in NBA history, a smorgasbord (my nickname for yo momma) of players were exchanged in the first ever seven-team transaction that lead to one of the bigger names available being moved, and that is none other than THE Slim Reaper, Kevin Durant. Sure, nowadays he’s better […]

Kevin Durant
I wish this was some kind of corporate zeitgeist type of synergistic marketing campaign with Marvel, alas, I am but a simple man and have no need for Disney money. (*cries poor tears.) Or perhaps Disney has no need for lazy puns? WHO KNOWS. All I know is, we are all feeling a bit of […]

Cavs Can’t Lose, Sixers Can’t Win
November 19, 2024 | 2024-25 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 2 Commentsby: Jay
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 […]

Rotation Notes: Injuries up 35% Version
November 13, 2024 | 2024-25 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell | 2 Commentsby: The Educator
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 […]

Scottie Becomes A Case In Point Guard
December 28, 2023 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 6 Commentsby: PhilOssie
Scottie Barnes’ second season in the NBA was so disappointing that the fantasy realm considered renaming “Sophomore Slump” to “Scottie Slump.” Well, Barnes has busted through that slump like a nerdy virgin kid who just hit the lottery hanging out at a bar full of gold diggers. Scottie’s been hotty this season, and is currently […]

December 4, 2023 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes |by: Jay
I admit it, I’ve never been a huge Luka Dončić guy (he finished with 36 points, 15 rebounds, 18 assists and 2 blocks and 2 steals), though to my credit (and so I don’t have to eat an egregious amount of crow) I always respected the talent. Well, respected the talent shining through what seemed […]

Every day when I see LeBron James do this thing, it just convinces me further that he is the only being in the entire universe that could survive its eventual demise. Dude will be still be averaging near-triple-doubles while the sun goes super nova and will still be playing when, like his what, great-great to […]

So many title possibilities this weekend, so little space! Anyways, my bare minimum goal was to at least not name another headline after Dame, even though the SEO gods demand it. It’s hard, I know! (Just the way your mother likes it.) And we’ll get to the continuing saga between Dame and making defense a […]

November 1, 2023 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 5 Commentsby: The Educator
Halloween was last night and we live in quite possibly the best area in the US for the candy gaining activities. My town was founded in 1705. Blackbeard made his mainland home here. There’s a graveyard that dates back to 1734. Truly cool and spooky stuff.
Unfortunately, the flu, like the actual literal flu, struck the Kelder household and we were unable to join any festivities this year. With two people actively sick and me fighting off a scratchy throat and achy knees which I always have anyway, sat home. Now notice I’m not complaining about two days off of work watching Full House, Ninja Warrior, and playing Mario Kart. I should probably also mention that I fell asleep on the couch during the Knicks-Cavs game, so I’m purely box score watching instead of my report from watching TNT Tuesdays.
Here’s what happened fantasy wise last night:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Look, I was very satisfied with the last episode of “As the Harden Turns…” (the actual turning speed depends on the girth of his fat suit) but no one can argue that actually watching the 76ers play is probably just as entertaining as watching the 76ers not play, so let’s consider last night a wash. And despite Harden not being allowed to get on the team plane (is “No U!” a legitimate DNP reason?), the debut of the newly unstoppable pic n’ pop duo of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo definitely lived up to expectations, with Dame finishing the night with 39 points with 4 assists and 8 rebounds, 12 of those points coming in the fourth quarter (with two free throws that iced the game) and there’s this below:
