Week 22 Roundup: Binary Edition

When I was entering the scores into the Spreadsheet, I saw Rodman'sWeddingDress was leading the league with a score of 10110, so I think the title is appropriate.

From the Futurama episode "The Honking":

LEELA (reading) 0101100101. (talking) What does it mean?  
BENDER It's just gibberish. (reading in the mirror) 1010011010?! (Screams and runs out of the room).

Anyway, let's get right to it.
 
Stat Corrections: There were a total of 5 stat corrections this week but only 2 were owned by Foul Clubs when during the games in which they occurred.

-Amar'e Stoudemire had a techy taken away from him retroactive to March 16th. Dis Is Dat Donk Ball had him active that night so he loses 40 points.
-Quincy Acy had a techy taken away from him retroactive to March 16th. Rodman'sWeddingDressl had him active that night so he loses 40 points.


Standings as of March 30, 2015:

1. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 10110 (+375)
2. They Call Me Gamblor- 10055 (+305)
3. Arlington Assaulters- 9345 pts (+395)
4. Baltimore Hitsquad- 9310  (+355)
5. Pgastan FC- 8850 (+415)
6. F'N FLOPPERS 8780 (+280)
7. Dis Is Dat Donk Ball- 7400 (+290)
8. Oww Ming's Flagrants 7355 (+230)

 
Remember those battles I mentioned last week? Well all 4 of them the team that was in last place of the duels took over their respective battle. In what was a relatively low scoring week (no team scored more than 415 points), Rodman'sWeddingDress is now leading They Call Me Gamblor by 65 points. In the battle for 3rd place, Arlington Assaulters now leads Baltimore Hitsquad by 35 points. For 5th place, Pgastan FC now leads F'N FLOPPERS by 70 points. Finally, for 7th place, Dis Is Dat Donk Ball leads Oww Ming's Flagrants by 45 points. Pretty amazing that all these battles flipped over the course of one week, eh?

Transactions:

-Arlington Assaulters added Henry Walker and dropped Gerald Green on March 23rd
-Dis Is Dat Donk Ball added Gerald Green and dropped Jamal Crawford on March 23rd
-Dis Is Dat Donk Ball added Kevin Seraphin and dropped Kevin Garnett on March 23rd

-F'N FLOPPERS added David West and dropped Donatas Motiejunas on March 29th
-F'N FLOPPERS added Greivis Vasquez and dropped Damian Lillard on March 29th

Week 21 Roundup: Battle Royale Edition

As I was looking at the standings this morning, I noticed there are 3 separate battles for positions in the standings, even though the title race is only between 2. Too bad this isn't European Soccer so the other top 6 teams could be fighting for 3 Champions League spots and a Europa League spot or something... maybe if NFA expands we can bust out promotion and relegation or something. I'll get into this when I run down the standings in a second. Anyway.....

Let's get to it.

Stat Corrections: There were 3 stat corrections this week all three players are free agents so this does not affect NFA standings.


Standings as of March 23, 2015:

1. They Call Me Gamblor- 9750 (+725)
2. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 9735 (+380)
3. Baltimore Hitsquad- 8955  (+315)
4. Arlington Assaulters- 8950 pts (+560)
5. F'N FLOPPERS 8500 (+625)
6. Pgastan FC- 8435 (+340)
7. Oww Ming's Flagrants 7125 (+305)
8. Dis Is Dat Donk Ball- 7110 (+580)

As I stated in the introduction there are 3 battles between the top 6. First I'll start at the bottom, where actually that is closer than I thought and you could call that a battle. Oww Ming's Flagrants has a 115 point lead on Dis Is Dat Donk Ball for 7th place after the former had a nice 580 point week. The next battle is for 5th where F'N FLOPPERS leads Pgastan FC by 65 points. After that we get into the trophy battles, where Baltimore Hitsquad leads Arlington Assaulters by a mere 5 points (that's 1 personal foul!).

Finally, for the title, They Call Me Gamblor took over first this week from Rodman'sWeddingDress after a massive 725 point week. They Call Me Gamblor currently leads Rodman'sWeddingDress by 15 points for the title. There are still a few weeks to go, but most likely there won't be any movement into these battle pods as 7th is 1310 points behind 6th, 5th is 450 points behind 4th, and 3rd is 780 points behind 2nd.

Transactions:

-Rodman'sWeddingDress added George Hill and dropped Serge Ibaka on March 19th
-Rodman'sWeddingDress added Marcus Smart and dropped OJ Mayo on March 19th
-They Call Me Gamblor added Hassan Whiteside and dropped Kevin Durant on March 22nd
-Pgastan FC added Evan Turner and dropped Jason Smith on March 22nd.


Well that's it for now

Week 20 Roundup: Too Hot For Fouling Edition

As I write this, early in the evening, it was 80 degrees today and was thinking it's way too hot for winter sports such as fouling and hockey and more suited for summer sports baseball and soccer. Well, the season has about a month to go so that will soon be changing, so let's look at what transpired this past week in the NFA:

Stat Corrections: There were no stat corrections this week

Standings as of March 16, 2015:

1. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 9355 (+330)
2. They Call Me Gamblor- 9025 (+560)
3. Baltimore Hitsquad- 8640  (+305)
4. Arlington Assaulters- 8390 pts (+400)
5. Pgastan FC- 8095 (+365)
6. F'N FLOPPERS 7875 (+250)
7. Oww Ming's Flagrants 6820 (+430)
8. Dis Is Dat Donk Ball- 6530 (+250)


Please join me in welcoming Arlington Assaulters and Pgastan FC to the 8,000 point club! (Simulate Crowd noise here). They remained in 4th and 5th place respectively. In fact we had no movement in the standings as every team remained in the same place they were last week. However, They Call Me Gamblor did gain 230 points on Rodman'sWeddingDress to close the gap to 330 points. Pretty even distribution for the top 6 actually, 1st leads 2nd by 330 points, 2nd leads 3rd by 385 points, 3rd leads 4th by 250 points, 4th leads 5th by 295 points, and 5th leads 6th by 220 points.

Transactions:

-Pgastan FC added Nerlens Noel and dropped Andrew Wiggins on March 15th.


Well that's it for now

Week 19 Roundup: Daylight Savings Time Edition

Having trouble coming up with better subtitles for these posts so just going with that.

Anyway, let's get to it:

Stat Corrections: There were a total of 5 stat corrections this week but 2 of those players were free agents so I'll only write about 3 of them.

- Draymond Green had a techy taken away from him retroactive to February 27th. They Call Me Gamblor had him active that week so he loses 40 points.

-Marcus Morris had a techy taken away from him retroactive to February 25th. Dis Is Dat Donk Ball had him active that week so he loses 40 points.

-Timofey Mozgov had a techy taken away from him retroactive to February 12th. Arlington Assaulters had him active that week so he loses 40 points


Standings as of March 9, 2015:

1. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 9025 (+560)
2. They Call Me Gamblor- 8465 (+380)
3. Baltimore Hitsquad- 8335  (+610)
4. Arlington Assaulters- 7990 pts (+295)
5. Pgastan FC- 7730 (+495)
6. F'N FLOPPERS 7625 (+610)
7. Oww Ming's Flagrants 6390 (+465)
8. Dis Is Dat Donk Ball- 6280 (+470)


No change in the standings this week, though F'N FLOPPERS had a big couple of nights early in the week and took 5th from PFC before PFC had a 3 techy night on Saturday and regained 5th place. Rodman'sWeddingDress has become the first team to join the 9000 point club. Baltimore Hitsquad has used a 610 point week to close the gap on 2nd place They Call Me Gamblor to 130 points. As it stands, it looks like no one is going to catch Rodman'sWeddingDress but there is still a month left. Oww Ming's Flagrants and Dis Is Dat Donk Ball are fighting it out for 7th place.

Transactions:

-Dis Is Dat Donk Ball added Jeremy Lin and dropped Arron Afflalo on March 2nd.

Well that's it for now.

Stat Corrections:  Just one stat correction to talk about
