Fantasy Benchwarmers

To continue our Finals "tradition" we invited fans of the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns to join us and talk about their teams. In this episode we had radio DJ and host Tin Gamboa talk about how she became a Bucks fan and how invested she was with the Bucks' players back then. She also shares how she feels about their chances against the Suns, about their coach Mike Budenholzer and on Chris...

So who do you got? We talk about the NBA Finals matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Phoenix Suns. Can the Bucks win without Giannis? Can CP3 finally get his ring?

Finally! Chris Paul gets to the Finals! Many will be cheering for the "point god" to at least win one and from the looks of things, everything is aligning for that to happen this season. The Eastern Conference Finals took another turn as Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a knee injury that might just sideline him for the rest of the playoffs (it could've been worse actually). This now gives the Atlan...

LA Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns - Can the Clippers still comeback and force a game 7? - Will the Suns close out the resilient Clippers in Game 6? Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks - Are the Hawks done without Trae Young? - Do you trust the Bucks closing out the Hawks?

With everyone on a basketball high after watching the Gilas team beat South Korea twice during the Asian Cup Qualifier, we felt it was time to dedicate an episode to talk about local hoops. We were graced by FIBA contributing writer Enzo Flojo, whose knowledge about the world basketball scene helped us understand how other countries set their basketball programs for them to deploy a consistently c...

In this episode, we discussed the coaching vacancies around the NBA and as we were doing that a trade happened. Kemba Walker was shipped by the Boston Celtics to the OKC Thunders. We look into this trade and the possible fantasy impact of the players involved.

We are back with some fantasy basketball discussion for our weekly episode. Last season, bubble performances fooled us a bit into drafting some players above their actual worth - Jusuf Nurkic, Devin Booker, Luka Doncic, TJ Warren, just to name a few. After the first round of this year's playoffs, there have been some great performances and a few underwhelming ones. Which of these players have chan...

We're back for our weekly episode! To be honest we really miss doing the daily episodes, so we're planning of having some midweek episodes until the season ends. But for this week's episode we talk about all the first round matchups and discuss on whether Julius Randle, this season's Most Improved Player, has reached his ceiling or is there a next level for him. We also talked about Jordan Clarkso...

It's the NBA fantasy awards season! And in our version of awards night we invited a couple of our good friends to talk about the fantasy season that was and reminisce some of the good, bad and memorable players throughout the season! We invited good friends so we can end the first fantasy season in full circle with us starting this podcast with these friends who supported us and continue to suppor...

That's it! Just like that the NBA fantasy season has come to an end. In this final quickie we take a look back at some of the things that we learned throughout the season and just acknowledged everyone who's been supporting the podcast by joining the leagues, listening or watching and reading the quickies. Congratulations are also in order for the winners of the FBW leagues this season! FBW Benchw...

So tomorrow the NBA fantasy season ends. We'll still have a quickie tomorrow but today we take a look back at commish Eric's season as we ask him what went right for him this season (commish had a relatively great fantasy season this year).  Then we proceeded with some discussion of the games tomorrow. This is relatively a short quickie as we don't really have much to talk about. Just continu...

Eric and I both agree that Nikola Jokic is definitely this season's fantasy MVP. I don't think anyone came close. So I guess the question is, who is really #2? James Harden? Steph Curry? Dame Lillard? Next season's ranking will definitely be interesting. But in this quickie we had a headstart in that discussion. Russell Westbrook is another player that probably carried a lot of fantasy managers to...

Three game days left and now it boils down to which games matter for these teams. If you have players whose teams are either set for the playoffs or are out of the playoff picture, there is a chance top players sit a game or two to rest. So in this quickie we look into the playoff/play-in situation and analyze which teams still have something to play for. We also look into some waiver adds that yo...

Woohoo! Kevin Love wins me a friendly bet with commish! Now it will be interesting to see where he drafts Kevin Love next season. But yes, Love played probably his best game of the season, and he seems poised to finish the season playing and not injured. So that's good news for KLove.  Aside from our usual waiver recommendations, which has slowly dwindled down in number, we had some Roto Leag...

So Chris Boucher indeed played today and he played 37 minutes! If there's one coach that is known to troll fantasy managers, I'd say that is Nick Nurse with Boucher this season. With almost the whole starting 5 of the the Toronto Raptors out, Boucher could be in for a nice finish to the fantasy season...unless...well, we don't know what's on Nurse's mind so let's just wait and see. Kyrie Irving an...

In this week's episode we were once again graced by the very inspiring Kat Tan (the1armedmamba). The last time we had Kat was in season 1 when the Los Angeles Lakers were about to win their championship. This time the Lakers are in danger of missing out on the playoffs as they might need to go through the play-in tournament, so as Lakers fans we really had to talk about them. We also talked about...

Confusing update we got today on Chris Boucher who was listed as questionable on the Raptors' injury report. So will he play? We doubt it. And to be honest even if he does, I don't think we're missing out too much as he is still a risky pick. Imagine picking him up because the Raptors decides to play him and then, Nick Nurse plays him 15 minutes only. That could be a waste of move. So for us conse...

It's the last week of fantasy basketball and we know that this may not be the best time to play fantasy basketball with so many top players expected to rest, but hey, it's still fun and exciting as experienced in today's judgement day! Now for those having their championship matchups on week 20, this week could be tricky as top players are surely expected to rest, how many games, we don't know. Bu...
