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 […]

Timers are ticking down, projection sheets are spread wide, and queues (for goodness sake!) are being set. We’re in the beating heart of draft season, so Joel and Ossie break down how to approach a format that has gotten its hooks into them: the deep draft and hold roto contest. Volume is king in roto, […]

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’m sure there’s a better way of saying it, but let’s be clear, the Clippers may have left San Diego many many years ago, but San Diego never left the Clippers. After starting 8-10 through their first 18 games (including a six-game losing streak post-Harden trade) the Clippers looked like the best team since the […]

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 […]

[Hits play on The Zombies classic hit song … “boom boom boom, buh-kah AHH …”] It’s the time of the Eason [““boom boom boom, buh-kah AHH”] … Tari Eason gave his believers reason to celebrate with a second-straight 14-rebound night, adding a career high 25 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3PT, 2-4 FT) and singles in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello Razzball, back again for some post IST NBA DFS action. Wow that was a lot of acronyms. Oh well! We have a nice 9 game slate with plenty of options to choose from. Right now I’m not seeing a ton of quality value, so it may be hard to get up to the highest […]

Greetings from November Madness, AKA the NBA final play in tournament pool night! Now that I read it, November Madness doesn’t work. No alliteration. There were a few exciting games, though. Boston over Chicago This, however, was not one of the exciting games. Wow is Chicago bad. Like, they gave up a putback dunk to […]

Back in my day [classic way to captivate an audience from the get-go], we just called it the night before Thanksgiving. But kids these days [mmk, Gramps] have to slang up everything [even my Zyn] to make ‘em feel special. So now they call it Blackout Wednesday, or Drinksgiving. Well those days are a bit […]

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 […]

We’re back baby! A lot of stuff to go into, and I promise I won’t write anything about any possibly disgruntled players who possibly might be traded to certain teams. I will, however, talk about the effects of the offseason on certain players.
I’m working here on a series of risers and fallers. One of my key tenants of fantasy hoops is that every player in the NBA is good. Like, really good. But not all players get minutes needed to put up statistics and thing like that, which we obviously count on for fantasy basketball. My goal isn’t to figure out which sixth round pick will return 3rd round value. I’m trying to figure out who is in line for minutes, like the late round guys who will pay off.
For fallers, that’s going to be more guys who I’m avoiding. You’ll see, I’m just over-talking again. Kelder should be seen and not heard. Let’s just get into the content.
NBA Central division is first up, in order of my predicted finish in the standings…

Not sure if y’all have noticed, but the MVP debate has gotten a bit heated the last several weeks with an interchangeable group of three players charging the discussion. While you could still say that Giannis Antetokounmpo should be part of that discussion (I think he still has a strong case), much of the animated debate by literally everyone from the talking heads down to the water-cooler loiterers (still a thing?) has been the case between Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid. Both deserving, both amazing players, but one most remember when dealing with a Philadelphia fanbase, one must wear helmets. While the discussion has been both riveting content and a dumpster fire, mostly stemmed from Kendrick Perkins being the toxic fire-starter he’s paid to be, the discourse has gone sour the past month, and to some, a bit tiresome.
Please, blog, may I have some more?A little birdie told me our 2024 Fantasy Baseball subscriptions are live. The little birdie also said it includes our Draft War Room. You really wanna lose in a fantasy baseball league to a little birdie? Would be kinda embarrassing, tbhhttps://t.co/1ag7IFSYS0
