Week 7 Roundup: They Call Him Gamblor Edition

So, I rarely profile a foul club in these openings (they're usually just nonsensical introductions or some kind of analysis) but Gamblor had huge week that's worth mentioning. You all saw my post from a few days ago when Gamblor put up 295 on 11-30-22 but he followed that up with 295 points on 12-3-22. That was thanks to a flagrant 2 ejection for Gobert and a techy from Anthony Edwards. Gamblor scored a whopping 860 points this past week and moves up to 3rd all the way from 6th place. Incredible! Now, let's get to this week's post.

Ohsnappers!!! had a great week of 410 points but stays in last place. F'N FLOPPERS had a poor week of 290 points and stays in 8th place. Rodman'sWeddingDress had a poor week of 275 points and stays in 7th place. Arlington Assaulters had a great week of 400 points but falls to 6th place from 5th. GG Foulin' had an excellent week of 510 points but surprisingly falls from 3rd to 5th.

Pgastan FC had an amazing week of 680 points and moves up to 2nd place from 4th. Finally, Oww Ming's Flagrants had a great week of 460 points and stays in 1st place. 

Points Graph:

 

 

Tier 4: Rodman'sWeddingDress, F'N FLOPPERS, Ohsnappers!!!

Tier 3: Arlington Assaulters

Tier 2: Baltimore Hitsquad, GG Foulin'

Tier 1: Oww Ming's Flagrants, Pgastan FC, Gamblor

 

After some big weeks by Gamblor and Pgastan FC, the tiers have started to shake out a little bit. We clearly have a bottom tier now as Rodman and F'N have actually fallen back to join Ohsnappers!!! at the bottom. Arlington Assaulters is kind of in NFA purgatory as they could fall to the bottom tier or just as easily move up to next tier. Baltimore and GG could easily be in tier 1 but it's clear in the graph above that they are not quite in that tier. We shall see what the coming weeks will do to shake up these tiers even more.

 

Well that's it for now.

 

Keep Foulin' Y'all!

Crazy Night in the NFA

The NFA ended November with a crazy night in which 2 Foul Clubs, Pgastan FC and Gamblor, both scored over 300 points. In my quick research of this blog I found only one other instance of 2 teams scoring over 300 points on the same day. That was February 12, 2020 where Pgastan FC scored a whopping 495 points and Ohsnappers!!! scored 360.

Here's the break down of those 2 foul clubs on their big night:

Pgastan FC on 11-30-2022

Kevin Porter Jr. - 25 Points (5-0-0-0-0)

Dillon Brooks - 195 Points (3-0-2-1-0)

DeAndre Hunter - 5 Points (1-0-0-0-0)

Kristaps Porzingis - 50 Points (2-0-1-0-0)

DeAndre Ayton - 60 Points (4-0-1-0-0)

Jusuf Nurkic - 15 Points (3-0-0-0-0)

Franz Wagner - 10 Points (2-0-0-0-0)

 

Total - 360 Points (20-0-4-1-0)

 

DeAndre Hunter left the game early after aggravating an earlier injury so PFC could have had a few more points. 

 

Gamblor  on 11-30-2022

 

Fred VanVleet - 190 Points (2-0-2-1-0)

Kelly Oubre Jr. - No Game

Anthony Edwards - 60 Points (4-0-1-0-0)

Draymond Green - No Game

Rudy Gobert - 60 Points (4-0-1-0-0)

Anthony Davis - 15 Points (3-0-0-0-0)

Larry Nance Jr. - 25 Points (5-0-0-0-0)

 

Total - 350 Points (18-0-4-1-0)

 

As you can see, Gamblor scored  350 points with only 5 active players. The craziest thing about last night for his foul club was his bench though. He had another 245 points there including another ejection. 

Gamblor's Bench on 11-30-2022

Dejounte Murray - 45 Points (1-0-1-0-0)

Terence Davis - 50 Points (2-0-1-0-0)

Ja Morant - 150 Points (2-0-1-1-0)

Total Bench for Gamblor - 245 Points (5-0-3-1-0)

Gamblor could have truly had a historic night, shattering Pgastan FC's 495 points mentioned above with an optimal lineup of:

Fred VanVleet - 190 Points (2-0-2-1-0)

Terence Davis - 50 Points (2-0-1-0-0)

Anthony Edwards - 60 Points (4-0-1-0-0)

Larry Nance Jr. - 25 Points (5-0-0-0-0)

Rudy Gobert - 60 Points (4-0-1-0-0)

Ja Morant - 150 Points (2-0-1-1-0)

Dejounte Murray - 45 Points (1-0-1-0-0)

 

Total Optimal Lineup: 580 Points (20-0-7-2-0)

 

Of course, who knows what Gamblor or any other Foul Club GM would have started this week (it's rare to star 2 PGs in a given week but it can happen). But it's fun to see what an optimal lineup would have been.

 

Pgastan FC goes from 4th place to 2nd place with their big night and Gamblor goes from 6th to 3rd place.

It should be noted that 2 other Foul Clubs scored over 100 points yesterday with Oww Ming's Flagrants scoring 130 (18-0-1-0-0) and Ohsnappers!!! scoring 155 (19-1-0-0-0)

Week 6 Roundup: Where Are the Performance Fouls Edition

Well we've reached week 6 and that would normally mean I'd do the first Team Strength Check-In of the season but I started noticing something strange with stats being tracked on Yahoo a few weeks ago. Let me explain. It all happened when I noticed Wendell Carter Jr had a foul out. My stats were there that night and the next morning but when I went to sort by 2022-2023 season it was missing the foul out from last night and only had him with 1 foul out on the season (I'm not sure if any personal fouls were missing as I didn't feel like adding them up). The weird thing was my score was accurate and when I went back the previous day the stats were accounted for. I started noticing this with other players soon on other foul clubs. I feel like it's mainly foul outs but I think I've seen it with techies too. 

So, I'm not entirely sure what to do. I'm a bit hesitant to contact Yahoo! in case they mess it up even more. As far as I can tell, all Foul Clubs have the correct scores. But this does skew season rankings which will skew blog posts such as Team Strength Check-Ins and more importantly the Donkies (both mid-season and end of season). I also feel like Yahoo! support wouldn't even understand what the issue is. So, if anyone has any ideas on what to do next, leave a comment below. Now, on to this week's post. 

Stat Corrections
- DeAndre Ayton had a techy given to him retroactive to November 22nd. Pgastan FC had him active that week so he gains 40 points. 

- Patrick Beverly had a techy given to him retroactive to November 22nd. Arlington Assaulters had him active that week so he gains 40 points. 

Transactions

- Pgastan FC added Jalen McDaniels and dropped Robert Covington on November 25th

- Pgastan FC added Franz Wagner and dropped Andre Drummond on November 25th

- Pgastan FC added Killian Hayes on November 27th

Points Graph:

 

 

Tier 6: Ohsnappers!!!

Tier 5: Rodman'sWeddingDress, F'N FLOPPERS

Tier 4: Gamblor

Tier 3: GG Foulin', Pgastan FC, Arlington Assaulters

Tier 2: Baltimore Hitsquad

Tier 1: Oww Ming's Flagrants

Well, looks like this week we got 6 tiers with some further shakeup in the standings. It's actually easier to see the tiers in the standings than the graph since some teams are so close to each other in points. You could make the argument to lump tiers 3 and 4 together and possibly 1 and 2 together but I decided on this route for the week. 

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
