After a dismal start, the Baltimore Hitsquad is climbing the standings. If you wrote them off earlier in the season...beware. They're coming for you next!

Too Many Ejections?
The demise of the Double Techy Ejection (DTE), seems to have been fast. Just a few years ago when NFA was just starting out the only way to get an ejection was through a DTE (technically, one could get ejected with 2 flagrant fouls but that has never happened). Now with flagrant 2s, leading to ejections it is easier to get ejected, which means less points for NFA teams. Heck this year, Serge Ibaka just got straight up ejected for a fight (he had no personal fouls, techies, or flagrants).
Is the NFA getting too soft? It might be, seems like just pushing someone could lead to an ejection. It's too bad because the DTE used to have this romantic aura surrounding it. You knew that if you could get an ejection via a double techy then you were going to get at least 180 pts and you could jump up the league standings pretty fast.
But now ejections seem to be commonplace. As of this post, there have been 21 flagrants given out in the NFA and 10 ejections. So while it may feel like there are more ejections, and there might be, still almost double the flagrants.
Maybe it's just because the amount of DTEs has seemed to decrease while ejections have seemed to increased so the excitment factor of at least 180 pts is not there as much.
Don't get me wrong it's still great to see someone get ejected, but you feel kind of robbed when it's not a DTE. NFA teams are entitled to those points.
Keep foulin' y'all!

Historic Night for the Hitsquad
Baltimore Hitsquad is back in the race for 2nd after an unbelievable night from his foulers. Centered around a DTE from JR Smith and supplemented by a foul out by Roy Hibbert and Techies from Amare Stoudemire and Kobe Bryant, he scored a whopping 400 points (only missing a flagrant for the team cycle). This is debatable whether it's the most points in a night by a team. Pgastan FC scored 405 pts back on December 21st, but a stat correction later took away a techy giving PFC an adjusted score of 365.
So without stat corrections it would be 2nd most, but 1st most with.
Final tally for the Hitsquad:
16 fouls, 1 foul out, 4 techies, and 1 ejection.

National Foul Association Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
As the NFA has evolved, we here have developed a list terms for various aspects of the game. Those are, but not limited to, the following:
Fouler: One who participates in the sport of fouling (i.e. a player)
MVF: Most Valuable Fouler
The Donkies: Mid-season and End of the season awards for the NFA
Techy: Technical Foul
Flaggy: Flagrant Foul
Performance Foul: Any foul other than a personal foul (Technical, Flagrant, or Ejection)
DTE: Double Techy Ejection
Techy Foul Out Combo (TFO Combo or TFOC): When a player gets a techy and a foul out in the same game resulting in 130 points.
Stat Correction Sunday: When Yahoo! updates stats for fouls, resulting in technicals or flagrants taken away
Fouler: One who participates in the sport of fouling (i.e. a player)
MVF: Most Valuable Fouler
The Donkies: Mid-season and End of the season awards for the NFA
Techy: Technical Foul
Flaggy: Flagrant Foul
Performance Foul: Any foul other than a personal foul (Technical, Flagrant, or Ejection)
DTE: Double Techy Ejection
Techy Foul Out Combo (TFO Combo or TFOC): When a player gets a techy and a foul out in the same game resulting in 130 points.
Stat Correction Sunday: When Yahoo! updates stats for fouls, resulting in technicals or flagrants taken away
Cousins At It Again
Demarcus Cousins' 6th foul in Thursday night's OT loss to Dallas was a flagrant 2 causing him to get ejected and earning 270 points for Pgastan FC. That one foul turned Cousins' 25 points for 5 fouls into 270 points, or in other words that one foul was worth 245 points (which is probably some sort of record). I believe this also ties the most points by a fouler in a single night at 270 (Gerald Wallace had his 6 foul be his 2nd techy also resulting in an ejection which would equal 270 points as well)
This adds to a huge season for PFC who's team scored 405 points on December 21st with 2 double techy ejections in one night (Carmelo Anthony and Joakim Noah). However, one of Melo's techies was taken away so the adjusted score is now 365 points.
