On Thanksgiving Eve, Ossie and Joel discuss the draft builds that have been the most successful so far and review some of the standout players of the season, including Franz Wagner, Nikola Vucevic, Kyrie Irving, and…Jakob Poeltl? Then the duo talk strategy for Ossie’s upcoming Midseason roto draft. Happy Thanksgiving! We’re grateful for each and […]

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 […]

SHere’s a math problem for you. Increased Pace + shortened training camp= more strains and sprains and tears. This is the under discussed part of the pace and space era of the NBA. Aside from teams shooting 3 pointers at an elevated rate (even if they don’t have 3 point shooters), the new metrics say […]

See, look guys, a theme! I can’t stress the importance enough of monitoring minutes. One thing I should mention, I won’t make notes about blowout games. Yes, I’m talking to you Golden State and Portland. Those minute distributions won’t be accurate. The rest though are gold. Pacers and Pistons: Andrew Nembhard hit 34 minutes, Bennedict […]

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 […]

Picking up where the last podcast left off, Joel and Ossie speculate on their five favorite players who were outside of last year’s top 150 but are poised to break into standard-league relevancy this time around. Amidst technical difficulties (flagging mic batteries, power surges, and swarming flies), Ossie loves up some young Blazers, Joel doubles […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The trade deadline for the NBA is upon us, as it is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 8 at 3 p.m. ET and it always affects fantasy suggestions each year. It’s a weird week to discuss about adds before the trade deadline, as rotations and fantasy values change so much from a trade, so I would […]

The latest trade in the NBA featured the rebuilding Hornets moving Scary Terry Rozier to Miami for a 1st round pick and a half season rental of Kyle Lowry and his slightly oversized behind. Apart from the real life and fantasy implications, this trade has sparked some insights into Charlotte’s perceived losing culture, after some […]

Three game slate last night… I watched the TNT game; Sixers vs. Nuggets, and was highly entertained. The Nuggets continue to have a very stable rotation and there’s not really any takeaways unless someone gets hurt. Nobody got hurt. Same with the Sixers. Just sit back and enjoy Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid go head-to-head, […]

Diapers. Tires. NBA in January. What do they all have in common? Blowouts. And they happen when you least expect it. Not to complain as I know all of you reading are jealous of the glory filled life of a fantasy writer. But those games are super hard to get a takeaways from. Oh well. […]

You know my love for NBA stats so it is once again fun stats time and we move to Portland as Stephen Curry failed to hit a three pointer in the Warriors match against the Trailblazers. That ended his streak of 268 consecutive games of hitting at least a triple, which is obviously the current […]

I always like humorous interactions that result from the NBA ecosystem and one such occurrence was made possible because Steve Kerr complained about the loud music the Phoenix Suns played during the game. And I quote “In this building, you can’t hear anything because it’s like a club, it’s like a South Beach club out […]
