Something I do not have statistics on, but I believe has never happened before.  There were 11 starters who all played and scored, but totaled < 20 fantasy points this week.  EVERY team in the league had at least one starter with < 20 fantasy points.  Nine additional starters had 25 or less fantasy points.  That means 20 of the 45 starters in fantasy basketball this week had 25 or less fantasy points.  I can’t ever remember that happening.  The Fur had four starters score 25 fantasy points or less.  That is really bad.  It is amazing The Fur totaled 159 fantasy points.  The beauty of this is that he played Fore! who had two starters with < 20 fantasy points. 

Fantasy sports is evening things out.  After losing with 200+, Fore! was able to find a win with 184.  It helps when you play The Fur (159).  Congrats to Captain Mo for high score of the week (203.5).  That is 1.5 points more than 36DD had.  It helps to have Kobe Bryant go for 57 fantasy points. 

Captain Mo has somehow worked the scheduling Gods into an 8-3 record, tied for the best record in the league.  This is despite averaging the third lowest points per week.  The point leader, Dirty Sanchez?  They are sitting one game back of first, in fourth place. 

DaLoot did the unthinkable, the unimaginable, the inexcusable….DaLoot put Kevin Garnett on his bench for Week #11.  The rationale was that the Celtics are really limiting his minutes and when you don’t play, you can’t score.  DaLoot also did not play Shaq (late scratch from the starting lineup because he was questionable with back spasms).  KG ended up with 36 fantasy points, Shaq had 37 fantasy points.  Paul Milsap, also in the starting lineup for DaLoot, has been averaging 35 fantasy points over his last 15 games.  He got hurt and scored 20 fantasy points.  Worth mentioning DaLoot lost by 15.5. 

The kick in the teeth of the week goes to Dirty Sanchez.  Devin Harris had a DNP (bum hamstring) on the bench for the Dirty Sanchez.  David Copperfield won by only 11.  Devin Harris is averaging 34.62 fantasy points for the season.   Dirty Sanchez outrebounded David Copperfield 40.5 – 30.
