We reached the half way point of the 2008-2009 Fantasy Basketball schedule.  Four teams are tied for first at 7-3. 

Fore! continues his hot streak scoring 200+ (223.5) for the 5th straight week.  That squad is solid when healthy.  Royz Boyz (3-7) has the fourth most points this season (just behind the Average), but sits in 8th place.  Fore! (4-6) is just ahead of him in the standings and three points behind him in total points. 

There will be no gripe by DaLoot this week.  As I look at the standings I notice that I have the second fewest points in the league, but I sit tied for 5th at 5-5. 

There was an NBA first on Friday night.  All 30 NBA teams played on Friday, January 2nd, 2009.  That has never happened in the history of the NBA.  That is partly because there were an odd number of teams in the league for a long time. 

There was a first Saturday night as Royz Boyz became a father for the first time.  Congrats to Ol’ Brad! 

Rokers drew the Old Maid card by scoring 200.5 and losing to Dirty Sanchez, who had the high week for the third time this season (227.5). 

There were some interesting scoring nights on Friday evening.  Dwayne Wade had 47 fantasy points with two minutes left in the third quarter.  He finished with 49 fantasy points.  Mrs. Carmela Anthony had nine first half fantasy points.  He finished with 44.  Shaq had three fantasy points in the first half, but finished with 30. 

The Fur had a chip and a chair in Week #10 vs. 36DD.  It was a close game, but OJ Mayo “shat the bed” and only delivered 16 fantasy points (Josh Howard didn’t help with only 20).  The Fur lost by nine. 

Captain Mo won again still not realizing Corey Maggette has been out for the past month or so.  He’s back now, but logged a “dead man.”   The victim this week was David Copperfield who was the recipient of an unannounced “bruised tailbone / trade me” injury. 

Danny Granger’s consistent year continues…last six fantasy games?  45, 11, 55, 0, 39, 35….He put two decent weeks together finally.  Nice.
