Week 7 Roundup: Search Engine Edition

So, while setting up my new phone over the weekend, naturally I wanted to bookmark the blog on my internet apps on the phone. Since I was lazy and didn't wanna type the URL into  bar I just decided to Google the blog name "Flagrant Ideals." Now, in the past when I have done this it has popped up with some specific blog posts but not the blog homepage link. Admittedly, I haven't done this in a few years but I was stoked when I saw the blog homepage the first link on a Google search for the blog! Go ahead, try it for yourself! Now onto this week's post.

Stat Corrections
- LaMelo Ball had a techy given to him retroactive to November 29th. Gamblor had him active that week so he gained 40 points.
- Lonzo Ball had a techy taken away from him retroactive to November 29th. He is a free agent in the NFA so no points lost for any team

Looks like the official NFA scorer mistook the Ball brothers or perhaps the just searched by last name and clicked the wrong person.

Transactions
- Gamblor added DeMarcus Cousins and dropped Brandon Ingram on November 30th
- GG Foulin' added Dejounte Murray and dropped Spencer Dinwiddie on December 3th
- Arlington Assaulters added Dewayne Dedmon on December 5th

Well it happened, Cousins is back in the NFA. My sources say most NFA managers were shocked that it was Gamblor that signed Cousins as opposed to one of the powerhouse teams At least one GM had been watching out for Cousins news all season but just hadn't checked in a few days. Props to Gamblor, though they may have forgotten to check this week as they have 2 foulers who are injured as of Monday's weekly roster deadline.

300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week

This appears to be the first week in which there was no movement in the standings. F'N FLOPPERS had a poor week of 220 point and stays in last place. Ohsnappers!!! had a poor week of 200 points and stays in 8th place. Oww Ming's Flagrants had an average week of 360 points but continues to have a down year compared to their historical average as they stay in 7th. Baltimore Hitsquad had a poor week of 265 points and stays in 6th place. Gamblor had a poor week of 275 points and remains in 5th place.

Arlington Assaulters had an average week of 380 points and stays in 4th place. Rodman'sWeddingDress had an average week of 300 points and stays in 3rd place. Pgastan FC had a great week of 495 points and stays in 2nd place. Finally, GG Foulin' had an average week of 365 points and stays in 1st place. 

Points Graph
 

Tier 4: Ohsnappers!!!, F'N FLOPPERS
Tier 3: Gamblor, Baltimore Hitsquad, Oww Ming's Flagrants
Tier 2: Rodman'sWeddingDress, Arlington Assaulters,
Tier 1: GG Foulin', Pgastan FC

Pretty interesting graph this week as we have what I would say are 4 distinct tiers. Within those tiers there are decent point gaps between the teams as well which is interesting as usually we get at least some bunching within a tier. 2-3-2-2 would be the formation of the tiers this week (to use a soccer parlance). Changes this week are Oww Ming's moves up a tier to 3. Arlington Assaulters also moves up a tier from 3 to 2. Finally, Pgastan FC moves up from 2 to 1. 

Well that's it for now.
 
Keep Foulin' Y'all!
