The 2009-2010 Fantasy Basketball Draft will be held on November 14th, 2009.  Time and place to be determined.  I realize this is two weeks into the season, but it is the day where most people could attend.  We can simply shorten the schedule by a week or two.  To add some fun, we’ll plan on counting the games that occur starting Saturday, November 14th.  The following week we will go back to our usual, first games beginning Friday evening rule. 

I’m looking forward to it.  Are the Rokers ready to defend their crown?  Can The Fur make the playoffs?

Beating the odds, the #8 seeded Rokers won the Playoff Championship.  Congrats to ROKERS!

MAGIC vs. Bird….Red Sox vs. Yankees….UNC vs. Duke…ND vs. USC…

3 6 D D vs. R O K E R S

On draft day I would not have pegged a 36DD vs. Rokers championship, but that is precisely what will happen this coming weekend.  The Rokers are clearly the hottest team in the league right now.  The Rokers overcame 47 fantasy points from Deron Williams and 48 fantasy points from Tony Parker.  It helps when Chris Paul goes off for 59 fantasy points.  All four Final Four teams scored 200+ with 36DD leading the way with 229. 

Unfortunately for Fore! Kevin Durant only had 21 fantasy points.  That is FAR below his average.  Fore! only lost by 7.5 points.  In a sick way DaLoot was hoping Vincerod had 50 fantasy points this weekend, but I just looked and he had a typical Vincerod night of 10 fantasy points Saturday night. 

Royz Boyz could not overcome the 49 fantasy points from Jamal Crawford and lost by 26.  If you had to bet $100 on whether Jamal Crawford would get 49 fantasy points or 23 fantasy points, which way would you bet?  And that is what fantasy sports is all about.  Sorry Royz Boyz.  You just took the business end of a baseball bat. 

STUDS: Deron Williams (48), Tony Parker (48), Chris Paul (59), Dwayne Wade (44), Jamal Crawford (49), Dirk Nowitzki (46), Steve Nash (42), JR Smith (40).

DUDS: Mo Williams (13)

It is always fun to lose when you have the third highest score of the week.  Always fun.  DaLoot would have beat everyone with the exception of The Rokers (on fire!) and 36DD.  That is especially fun when Troy Murphy decided he wanted the night off.  In Murphy’s next game he had 29 fantasy points which would have been enough for DaLoot to win.

The Rokers are peaking at the right time.  It always helps to have “the best player from Spain” (Pau Gasol) go off for 58 fantasy points.  It also helps having a bench go off for 46.5 fantasy points. 

David Copperfield fell quicker than any team in Fantasy League history.  His 152.5 fantasy points is the story of the past month.  This includes The Sword (Baron Davis) scoring 36 fantasy points. 

LeBron James (David Copperfield), Mrs. Carmela Anthony (DaLoot), Dwight Howard (Dirty Sanchez) and Kobe Bryant (Captain Mo) are all out in the first round. 

Studs: Paul Gasol (58), Mrs. Carmela Anthony (56)

Duds: Troy Murphy (dead), Stephen Jackson (dead), Corey Maggette (dead), Chauncey Billups (16), (Nate Robinson (13), Jeff Green (19)

Here are the matchups for the semi-finals:

For some strange reason I like the game LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal have going with their pregame introductions.

Watch LeBron’s here:

And here is Shaq’s, which I think is hilarious.  Mostly because you know these guys don’t dare say “no” to Shaq:

I love that guys like Shaq, who is 37 years old, can still laugh and have fun getting paid to play a game.

In our league there are nine teams and the Average.  The Average ended the season tied for the second best record in the league (12-8).  I’m not sure what to make of that fact.  However, the Average does not qualify for the playoffs….And neither does The Fur (3-17).  The brackets are set.  Let’s hope DaLoot can beat up on 36DD two weeks in a row! 

The #1 Dirty Sanchez vs. #8 Rokers could be interesting as the Rokers have had a higher score than Dirty Sanchez in each of the past three weeks. 

The #2 36DD vs. #7 DaLoot matchup is equally intriguing as DaLoot has scored more than 36DD in six of the past seven weeks. 

The #3 David Copperfield vs. #6 Royz Boyz matchup could be interesting, they both had 199.5 two weeks ago***

The #4 Fore! vs. #5 Captain Mo could go either way.  They finished with the same 11-9 record, but Fore! had almost 300 more points.

 Here we go….

This will have to serve as a recap for Weeks 16 – 20.  I apologize.  36DD and DaLoot both had a hectic last month or so and the site simply didn’t get updated. 

Week 16: The Fur lost to David Copperfield by 14 points and The Fur didn’t realize Amare Stoudemire was out for the year so he registered a “0” as a starter.  Someone could have scored 15 for The Fur.  Also, for David Copperfield, LeBron went off for 69 fantasy points. 

Week 17: DaLoot recorded his only HIGH SCORE of the year with 232.0 including 31 bench points from Shaq (that would have been 62 as a starter).  There is a reason this squad is not very good and it started on draft day and carries through to not knowing how to manage a team.

Week 18: David Copperfield managed only 93 points.  The injury bug simply caught up to Mr. C.   Even the players that did play didn’t play well.  Chris Duhon, Andre Kirlenko and Chauncey Billups all scored less than 20 fantasy points.  Add that to Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson and Caron Butler being dead and that is a 93 point week.  Even LeBron only scored 33 fantasy points. 

Week 19: The Rokers beat up on Dirty Sanchez 239 – 209.5.  LeBron James had 69 fantasy points which helped David Copperfield beat Captain Mo 199.5 -  186.5.  LeBron’s 69 was not the highest total of the week.  D-Wade took that honor with 75.  Yes, you read that correctly, 75 fantasy points.  Amazing.  50 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. 

Week 20: In a matchup of 1^st vs. 2^nd place Dirty Sanchez beat David Copperfield 162.5 – 163.5.  Really?  Two of our top two teams couldn’t score more than 165?  Look out in the playoffs!  More importantly, this loss cost David Copperfield sole possession of 2^nd place as DaLoot beat 36DD.  The Average also ended tied for 2^nd place.  Wow.

David Copperfield -

I have one word for you….Microfracture.  T-Mac probably needed this six years ago.  Bummer.

If we were getting ready to do the seeding for the NCAA tournament teams like Fore!, DaLoot, and The Fur would get moved higher than their records show whilst teams like Captain Mo, David Copperfield and 36DD would get that #5 seed (vs. a #12 never a good thing). 

Fore! got high score of the week (251.0) for the second straight week.  Congratulations. 

Hopefully the teams took the All-Star Break off to rest their legs and to clear their minds.  With five weeks left on the regular season schedule Dirty Sanchez has a lead of two games in the loss column over 36DD, David Copperfield and Captain Mo who are all technically in THIRD place because, believe it or not, the AVERAGE is in second place.  Check out the standings.  I’m pretty sure we have never had the Average in second place through 15 weeks of the season before. 

HUGE week from Al Jefferson.  68 fantasy points.  Unfortunately for Fore! and the Minnesota Timberwolves, this was his last fantasy game of the season after suffering a torn ACL. 

The kick in the shorts of the week goes to David Copperfield who had an unannounced DNP by Caron Butler and then lost by 10.

What a week.  Not one of the four teams with the best record won in Week #14.  Dirty Sanchez escaped with a tie (vs. DaLoot).  That’s right, it took 14 weeks to record our first time of the season.  I am not sure which is more amazing, the tie or The Fur winning (vs. Rokers).  Looking at the standings, Dirty Sanchez stands alone with only four losses.  36DD, David Copperfield, Captain Mo and THE AVERAGE all have five losses.  Strange year.

The kick in the teeth of the week goes to Royz Boyz, who has more points than Captain Mo, but has four more losses. 

Fore! had four starters in the STUDS list.  Impressive.
