Weeks 9 – 11 Recap
Look out for 36DD! Out of nowhere and making a charge comes 36DD. He has had high score of the week for three straight weeks. You knew it was coming, it was just a matter of when. He pulled out an exciting win in Week #9 vs. Rokers 233 – 230. In Week #10 Antawn Jamison went off for 58 fantasy points (guard, Luol Deng had 25). Week #10 also kicked Royz Boyz in the loins. Royz Boyz had 237.0, which is a very impressive score, but it was not good enough for High Score of the Week. That went to 36DD with 238.5. As lineups were submitted for Week #11 DaLoot told Rokers that they should start Andre Miller over Chris Bosh. Rokers did not listen. As it turns out Andre Miller had 46 fantasy points and Bosh had 29 fantasy points. It didn’t matter. DaLoot’s team is terrible and lost 176-164.
Poor DaLoot. Looking at the season stats for DaLoot’s eight best players, he should be averaging 205.85 fantasy points per week (five starters and three subs). In fact, DaLoot is only averaging 191.82 fantasy points per week (a difference of over 14 points / week). If I find the time, I should figure this out for all teams in our league. Somehow I think I’d feel better knowing I am getting the business end of a baseball bat more than any other team.
Dr. Copperfield and Dirty Sanchez top the standings at 8-3. The Fur follows at 7-4 and Fore! is 6-5. 36DD, Royz Boyz, DaLoot and Rokers are all 5-6.
To continue my praise of Kevin Durant. He has now scored 25 or more points in 25 straight games. This has only happened four times in the past 25 years. Michael Jordan had two runs of 40 games in the 80′s and Allen Iverson scored 25+ in 27 straight games at one point in his career. On January 31st, Durant had 45 points on 21 shots. That is impressive. To put it in perspective, LeBron James had a really good game a few days ago. He scored 47 points. He needed 31 shots to do so. LeBron finished 17-31 from the field, 6-12 from three and 7-7 from the line. Durant went 16-21 from the field, 2-3 from three and 11-11 from the line.
Kevin Durant won’t turn 22 until September, 2010. He is, without question, my favorite NBA player.
