Over the course of the draft weekend we had discussed how high of an individual score do we see each week.  There was debate back and forth on how many 60+ point weeks we see.  The thought was they don’t happen very often.  This discussion is what lead to the “Individual Highs” page.  In Week #5 we saw our first 60+ point total of the season (at least for games that count).  And we didn’t see it once, we saw it TWICE.  David Lee went off for 37 points, 21 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and a block, for 64…make that 32 since he isn’t good enough to start for The Fur.  If someone said David Lee was going to go for 21-2-3-1, The Fur would have taken it.  But he went for 21-2-3-1-37!  This is a guy averaging 26 fantasy points.  If he scores 34 instead of 64, The Fur loses to the Rokers.   But in the world of Fantasy Hoops, this is life.  One could make the argument that Amare Stoudemire should have scored more than 24 fantasy points for The Fur as well.  Dwight Howard also went for 60, with totals of 32 points, 21 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks.  He is a man among boys out there. 

To continue the pity party for DaLoot, he didn’t go up against the individual high of the week (64 by David Lee), but he did go against Dwight Howard and his 60 fantasy points for Dirty Sanchez who also had the league high for the week.  Congratulations to Dirty Sanchez and their 234.  When I was looking at the matchups for the week I was thinking, if I can just get Vincerod Carter to get just over HALF of what Dwight Howard has, I’ll be in good shape. 

Zach-O Randolph has found a home in LA quickly scoring 43 fantasy points on the bench for David Copperfield.

Interesting stat: In 15 games this season, Kobe Bryant has scored 30 or more points twice.  He has also scored less than 20 twice. 

As always, you can view all of the scores by clicking Week 05 on the right or clicking here.
