First comment 🎉 , Keep up the good work Josh
Josh Giddey is back !! … the Bulls can finally start winning again
I think Avdija left early with injury. Didn't see what happened
Nobody would pass it to Drew Timme … 0 FG attempts.
ballhog Lakers got blitzed by the Clippers
We appreciate all the hard work Josh!
Appreciate all the wk Josh, take care of you. Thought to you & yours!
is podz worth holding in a 10 team espn points league? thinking of picking up KOJ or Eason. currently sitting comfortably in 2nd
im not going to bed until i get an update that deni will be okay
Just wanna let you fantasy rooks know why Nurk's number is thru the roof at the moment. Brother is in contract year, same as Peyton Watson/Jalen Duren.
1 bad game from Vuce in how long got you piping up 😂😂😂 top 5 fantasy center so far
I drafted Watson late in my fantasy league thinking he’d just guarantee me 1-2 blocks a game. Never knew in a million years i’d be getting high level scoring too 😂
I’m officially unsubcribing, this year you have been terrible, I followed all the moves you suggested when you said hold for now I did, when you said drop I did, when you said keep I did, but youbwere mostly wrong on all of them and ruined it all, seriously get your stuff together and goodluck to the rest of yall listening to his biased “i dont know” answers over and over again… like what even is your issue dude every Q&A you do you sound like the angry grandpa who gets mad at everyone for asking any question
Josh doesn’t understand how great Kelly’s hair is 😅
Watson best waiver wire pickup 😂
Finally Watson gets some love
Pretty happy heat losing 😁
Black for Kelly oubre;
Josh 27:54 6 7 😅
Would you trade cooper flagg/keyonte george for apleren sengun? Is Keyonte expected to get managed by the end of the season? I punt turnovers btw
Is pWat a sell high or he just getting better
K George or dysondaniels
Is everyone still holding Porzingis in 12T 9 cat leagues?
Appreciate that you ended up doing the Thursday recap!! Pleasant surprise today to start the weekend!! 🙂
Splitter says Deni is playing Friday….
They might have to bring Jokic off the bench 😳
Jusuf Jokic
Should I trade JJJ for miles bridges then?
dosunmu was much better than all those people including tre in points leagues. Ofc that 98 is going down now.
Picked him up after Braun went down months ago ..didn’t expect him to be one of my best players
I TRADED PEYTON LAST WEEK NOOOOOO
Kyshawn George or Dyson Daniels
