Fantasy Basketball: Music of the Traffic – Week 10

The holiday season is a time for giving, for sharing, for reconnecting with family and friends… Oh screw it, it’s a time to sit on your backside and watch five marquee matchups of NBA action in one day! The Christmas Day lineup is a stacked one this year. It tips off with the Celtics traveling to the other Garden in… Read more →

Fantasy Basketball: Music of the Traffic – Week 9

There are times in life when we don’t appreciate what we have until it’s taken away. This week, the NBA family lost one of the all-time greats. He never won a championship, was never voted to an All-Star game, never even scored a point. Yet Craig Sager changed his profession forever. Before it became known that Sager was suffering from… Read more →

It’s been a record-setting week in the Association. LeBron James further cemented his legacy in the pantheon of all-time greats as he moved past Elvin Hayes into ninth place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

With five weeks in the books, it’s always a good time to reflect on where things are, and there’s no better time to do so than during Thanksgiving week. Looking up and down your roster, you may have some mixed feelings. For example, in one of my redraft H2H leagues, I’m thankful that Al Horford is finally back and ballin’,… Read more →

We all love an underdog, a story of triumph against the odds, and perhaps there’s no greater basketball underdog story than that of the Hickory High School basketball team, immortalised in the movie Hoosiers. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the film, which was loosely based on the success of the Milan High School team in 1954. It told… Read more →

For all the talk that last year couldn’t be replicated, that the team was different now and his role had to change, that we wouldn’t see anything like the craziness we witnessed in that record-setting season— well, I guess there was one guy not listening. A heat check is one thing, but when you start throwing flames through the hoop… Read more →

Change is inevitable, but some handle it better than others. Take Kevin Durant’s move to Golden State for example. It would seem he’s handling it just fine and you could say that Russell Westbrook is also dealing with it as best as he can. The same cannot be said for Enes Kanter.
