Stat Corrections for Week 24: As I stated in the Week 24 Roundup, there was one major stat correction that could have effected the title race, the other one was to a player who was a free agent at the time so won't touch on it.
- Russell Westbrook had a techy taken away from him retroactive to April 12th. They Call Me Gamblor had him active that week so he loses 40 points.
This went through today actually when the final standings updated. Yesterday They Call Me Gamblor was only 30 points behind Rodman'sWeddingDress for the title so anything could have happened. Let's see what did:
Final NFA Standings:
1. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 11130 (+125)
2. They Call Me Gamblor- 11035 (+150)
3. Baltimore Hitsquad- 10230 (+95)
4. Arlington Assaulters- 10225 pts (+135)
5. Pgastan FC- 9685 (+155)
6. F'N FLOPPERS 9570 (+170)
7. Oww Ming's Flagrants 8290 (+240)
8. Dis Is Dat Donk Ball- 8220 (+260)
In the final 3 days, each team on the bottom of their respective duels ended up outscoring the leaders of their duels but it was not enough for anyone to steal the lead in the end as there was no movement in the NFA standings in this shortened 3-day week. Dis Is Dat Donk Ball scored the most out of anyone this week and he joined the 8000 point club. This is the highest score for the last place finisher, so it seems Foul Club managers are starting to get a hang of the sport of fouling and how to manage a foul club. Oww Ming's Flagrants won his duel by 70 points.
For 5th place Pgastan FC held on as he actually had the biggest lead going into this week of all the duels. Both teams put up some decent points but Pgastan FC was aided by an Evan Turner Techy on the final day of the season to help solidify his 5th place finish. This is PFCs worst finish in NFA so he'll be looking for a bounce back next season.
The duel for 3rd place happened to be where all the action was. Baltimore Hitsquad barely (and I mean barely) held on to win his duel by 5 points (that's one personal foul!). Not sure what a tiebreaker would have been so glad it didn't come to that (probably would have had to split the bronze medal. Both foul clubs had bench techies this week so it could have swung either way had either manager managed their club differently. Arlington Assaulters will rue the day he left Matt Barnes on his bench, but that is the nature of fouling.
Finally, for the title Rodman'sWeddingDress won his 3rd title in 6 years and he ended up winning it by 95 points. Russell Westbrook actually had 2 techies taken away from him over the last 3 weeks, so while that was not the difference, it definitely made for a better sweat on the final evening of fouling. Maybe the Blackhawks can become the Rodman'sWeddingDress of the NHL with their 3rd title in 6 years....
Recap:
Rodman'sWeddingDress brings back some sanity to NFA as the team with DeMarcus Cousins' is back in the winner's circle. Arlington Assaulters broke the trend of the winning team having either Cousins or Dwight Howard last year as he made some phenomenal waiver wire pickups to come out of nowhere and steal an NFA title.
This is the smallest margin of victory for a winner ever in league history. They Call Me Gamblor finished 2nd last year only 295 points behind 1st and this year finishes 95 points behind 1st place. I guess if this trend continues he'll win next year....
Rodman'sWeddingDress didn't come close to beating his own record set in 2010-2011 for most points in a season at 13,470. It is quite possible no club will ever approach that as he had Howard and Cousins. As this was Cousins' rookie year he went undrafted and RWD snagged him up from the waiver wire during the 1st week or so of the season.
This was the most exciting season yet in the league as the title race went down to the wire, usually clubs have it wrapped up at least a week in advance. I'll leave you with a list of NFA titles and a points graph. Don't forget to check back in a few days for the End of the Season Donkies!
