Full disclosure: Ya boy here is going to be out for a couple of weeks. I’m taking my massive Razzball salary and going on a family trip to a tropical beach. In the attempt to enjoy a once in a lifetime trip (hopefully, it’s with my in-laws, I’m not sure how many more of these […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Two nights in, and there’s already an ancient truth coming-out party. It has been the same since the days of the Aztecs, where they played that crazy game where they shot a ball through a ring and the losing team died. In that game, as in the NBA, the bad players just don’t get that […]

Off to the West! And just a quick reminder, don’t go nuts over exhibition games. It’s not a real competition. So, maybe it’s just for confirmation bias? Golden State Warriors: The center position is the competition. Al Horford will take his walker up and down the court to start games, based on their practice runs. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Fresh off a victory against the Celtics (105-92) after holding them to a historic franchise low 12-points in the fourth quarter, the Thunder and Cavs are now on a collision course this week. Crazily enough, we’re talking about two elite and young teams that have not lost against the opposite conference, both sharing 15-game winning […]

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 […]

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 […]

The duo recap the conclusion of last season’s Razzball Salary Cap League, hash out how league sizes influence builds, weigh the impact of timing in dynasty leagues, pick some favorites from the ’24 rookie class, and consider the buy-low potential of […]

This week, I dug into Basketball Reference’s per 36 minute rate stats. With the trade deadline coming up, I’ve always found this as a way to find guys who have been producing in limited minutes. If you have room for guys, this could be a great stash option. Potentially, these could pay off in a […]

[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 […]

Another fantasy season has started and the weekly Buy/Sell column is here to guide you and help you decide which players to buy low or add from the wire and which players to sell high or flat out drop to improve your chances for fantasy domination. Before diving into the recommendations, it would be amiss to not include the following from Stephen Curry.
Chef Curry with the chef’s kiss move on Dilon Brooks. The offensive flow of this guys is truly unmatched.
Usually this introduction will feature a recap of last week’s suggestions, so this will happen as per usual with next week’s article. For now, let’s go to the players we will discuss.

For those without kids, that’s Branch in “Trolls” overreacting because he’s scared of success (and friendship), just like so many fantasy basketball players will overreact to the first couple games, when regular bench rotations guys will be proclaimed breakouts of the season, and busts will be said to abound as the rust gets knocked off the boots.
However, while we definitely don’t want to overreact, let’s remember: Branch ended up being right. You don’t want to be caught with that average penny stock and telling yourself, “any day now, it’s gunna go crazy!” [Checks portfolio, sighs with depression, gets back to basketball.] Keep an eye on minutes, rotations and usage more than the general stat lines in these early going.
And with that piece of nonsensical advice, let’s get on with the show! Here’s what caught my eye in the 12 games of the unofficial official opening night in The Association.

Regarding last week’s suggestions, Kris Dunn was underwhelming, particularly in the steals department with 0 steals in 3 games, while both Royce O’Neale and Josh Richardson were serviceable streamers and their spots can be freely used this week for additional streaming.
