A fanatic's short rant about something egregious in the NBA, mostly through the eyes of someone balls deep in fantasy basketball.
4 Nets players get the Coronavirus including Kevin Durant. RUDY!?!? Come on, dude. What do we do now? Also, fun facts about my dum dum league.
A quick break down of players that are returning from injury or have recently returned from injury and what their ROS looks like. Plus! Josh sucks, story time.
Every year there's a handful of guys that come out of nowhere and push your team over the top. This is a list of those guys and a few guys that I think people will bite on, but are not those guys.
In my league in particular there was some last second drama at the deadline. And I break down my strategy when entering my own league's auction draft.
The All Star game was fun!! Nick Nurse played favorites with his team and other All Star game related thoughts. Dame went down, because of course he did he was playing a gazillion minutes a game. KAT and Kevin Love are sitting just a couple hours I released my last pod about how they're probably going to sit a lot towards the end of the season.
Teams/players will never use the term "Shutdown," but there are players we should be keeping an eye on to miss games down the stretch. Also! What players look like they'll breakout for the remainder of the season.
Are we giving the warriors too much credit? Why did no one offer more for Drummond? (Congrats if you stashed Christian Wood.) And I actually like the Rockets going super small.
Today I make the case for why you shouldn't sell high on Damian Lillard. Shutdowns are indeed a real thing. And in real life basketball... don't not shoot your buzzer beaters to protect your fg% and make your 2 for 1 possession opportunities count!!!
This pod is all about Dame. We reflect on the the Blazers improved defense and if they can rattle off some wins to get into the playoffs. And does this give Dame some MVP buzz. And!! Who would you want/need in return if you did sell high and is a diet version of his production feasible going forward? (Also, he's playing way too many minutes.)
Turnovers!! yay. Are turnovers an imperfect measurement? How can we make this category better? Let's talk about it!!
Somehow I have stumbled my way into an 8cat vs 9cat discussion I never really cared to have, but now we're here!!! I had no idea. I regret everything.
Just cleaning up the mess I made yesterday on Reddit.
In this episode we go over the yesterday's shenanigans. Turns out Lonzo is a verrrry polarizing fantasy player. Also, reddit keeps trashing me and that's not cool. And finally, 8cat vs 9cat. This ought to be yummy.
This pod explores the phenomenon of players that have been on the waiver or are currently on the waiver losing value just because they touched the waiver at some point.
People are pouring on the Hawks. Trae is the real deal and the Hawks have had some bad luck. Also, got to talk to some trash about a garbage player in my fantasy league. AND FULTZ DIDN'T HAVE THE YIPS.
A rant most of us fantasy obsessives have had in our minds... Mitchell Robinson plays with a bunch of ball-hogging a-holes and the one willing passer on the team doesn't get playing time with Mitch. Also, I contemplate how hard it must be for the greatest shooter of all time to pass and wonder if Marcus Morris will ever ask himself- "What would Steph do?"
