Thanks to 36DD for running a great league.  The timely updates / results make the league fun.  There have been a few suggestions for next season.  Please keep them coming.

I can make a few predictions for Draft Day 2009…

• The words “I will take Timmy Duncan” will not come from the owner of DaLoot
• Chris Paul will not go as late as he did this season
• Shaq may not get drafted

Recommendation:

• Draft during a ND football game…this always eliminates one and potentially two teams from contention

Dirty Sanchez was ready.  They had prepared all year for this.  It start with the youth movement on draft day.  Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Chris Bosh and Rudy Gay all had breakout seasons.  That is stellar drafting.  Certainly better than taking momma’s butt (a.k.a. Timmy Duncan).  How many 2009 first round picks were on that roster?  Potentially three.  A fourth will go in teh second round this fall.  Wow.  Just a great overall draft for Dirty Sanchez. 

Royz Boyz was a little banged up, but fought a good fight.  Kobe was Kobe getting 49 fantasy points.  AI was AI with 34 fantasy points.  David West didn’t get his normal total (24 vs. averages of 33.72), but Rudy Gay didn’t get his average for Dirty Sanchez either (23 vs. averages of 30.68).  Beno Udrich is probably the one that “shat the bed” for Royz Boyz.  A 17 point total (8.5 on the bench) is just not enough in a championship game. 

In the highly anticipated Toilet Bowl (3rd Place Game), The Fur (196.0) took advantage of Manu Ginobli’s bum loins to defeat DaLoot (189.5).  Certainly Manu sitting out with a sore groin and taking his 30+ fantasy points / game with him killed DaLoot.  Justice is served, since DaLoot did draft Timmy Duncan.

Congratulations Dirty Sanchez!

There were two pretty terrible games this week.  High score was 202.5…that’s low for this season.  Royz Boyz opened the door, but DaLoot could not take advantage.  It is never a good sign when you have two starters (Timmy Duncan and Manu Ginobli) playing for a team that scored 64 points in the game (San Antonio).  Royz Boyz held on and defeated DaLoot 202.0 – 184.

The Fur was excited on draft day when they selected Kevin Garnett.  What he didn’t know then is that KG would lead Boston to the greatest single season turn around in NBA history.  Doc Rivers decided he would rest his three studs (Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen) for a game or two.  Doc obviously does not care about the Pitchadeuce Fantasy League playoffs.  Dirty Sanchez beat The Fur by 32 points.  Could KG have made the difference?  With averages of 18.9, 9.4, 3.5, 1.41, 1.27 = 34.38 one would have to say Doc cost The Fur this week.  Of course so did Ron Artest by kindly totalling the same as a dead man (0).  Final score…Dirty Sanchez 202.5 – The Fur 170.5.

Good luck to Dirty Sanchez and Royz Boyz in the championship!

There is a new look and feel to www.pitchadeuce.com. Nothing too fancy, but this will be easier to update for Ol’ Tommy. I apologize that it took until the Playoff Semi-Finals to get my act together.

The first thing to notice is on the upper right-hand corner, you will see a countdown to “Vegas, 2009.” Book your flights now (well in a few days when the airlines take reservations that far out) and join us. 2008 produced winner after winner.
