Another week is in the books.  Congratulations to David Copperfield with a new league high of 224.0.  There were some very close games in Week #2. 

David Copperfield beat Dirty Sanchez 224 - 211.  Dirty Sanchez had Elton Brand left needing 38 to tie (Brand got 25).  Royz Boyz had a lead on the average, but fell apart when the Sixers and Lakers played.  The Average beat Royz boyz 190.3 – 188.5.  I’m sure Royz Boyz is happy with Steve Nash’s 11 and Gerald Wallace’s 22, especially when they went for 31 and 51 respectively in Week #1 (vs. DaLoot by the way). 

There were some HUGE games last Wednesday evening.  Amare Stoudemire had 73 fantasy points (followed up with 39 fantasy points that counted) and Tony Parker who had 72 fantasy points (followed up by 4 fantasy points that counted – he got hurt).  I guess that means Tony Parker is averaging 38 fantasy points in his last two games. 

I suppose this happens to everyone at some point during the year, but in DaLoot’s 8.5 point loss to 36DD, he had TJ Ford go for 22 fantasy points on Friday night and 32 fantasy points on Saturday night.  Troy Murphy went for 18 fantasy points Friday night and 29 fantasy points Saturday night.  Hedo Turkoglu had 34 fantasy points Thursday night and 18 fantasy points Saturday night.  –> Such is life in fantasy sports.

Studs:

Dwaye Wade – 55 (vs. DaLoot)

Dwight Howard – 53

 

Duds:

Michael Redd and Corey Maggette – As many as a dead man

Tony Parker – 4 (see below)

Josh Smith – 6

Steve Nash – 11

Actual email sent on Friday (before any games were played) about Stoudemire and Parker’s big games earlier in the week:

“Neither of these guys will average 70 for the year.  Nor will they average 10.  But they both could average 35-40.  You know what that means?  They are due for an injury two minutes into the game finishing with 4 fantasy points.  72+4 = 76…. 76/2=38″ 

Tony Parker’s line 10 minutes, 4 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks.
