Thanks for the Friday updates Mark! This is a nail biter.

What are the Swats doing? Pulling a DriveByShooter?

I liked the part where Sean was railing against the injustice of the new DNP law as he was submitting his lineup with Parker in it.

Good stuff.

Look at the competitive fire of the XMan. Down Melo and ZBo, he gets a 61 from Kobe and a blowup night from Dragic - a fantasy 26 on the year - who goes for 42 while Sacramento's guards are busy figuring out who can jack up the most shots.

And Mark, Tom's Noah put up a 26 last night. He's 12 fp's away from sending the Germans to their fifth straight loss.

Only Monta Ellis and the my heartsick Venezuelan Greivis Vasquez, still reeling from the death of his beloved caudillo Hugo Chavez, stand between the Nitecaps and first place.

And I've got 140, not 139.

Un muy feliz sabado soleado a todos.

Invaders late night attempt at box score assembly under influence of copious amounts of Trader Joe 2 buck Chuck(now to 2.49+tax)had errors-I actually had Noah's 26 and Deng's 21 written in but Noah's was tucked away under my Ticket heading so it just looked like bad penmanship.Besides Deng's points I had Howard 46/Duncan 29 and Pierce 43 for the Eric 139-I'll be looking for that dropped point before going to the closest field for hitting fly balls to my roommates" son who's the youngest player (a 10 year old 4th grader)participating at the highest level of Oakland's little league system playing against 6th and 7th graders he's a budding superstar!!but he has to become a line drive hitter against the big kids instead of being the dominant power hitter in his lower league last year,I pitched wiffle ball BP hung over in the backyard all morning!!

Standings! No more espanol! Even a games behind mention will do.

I believe Swat has ruined the finally first all teams inclusive season that would determine a fair outcome in the standings. That said I lost to the parapalegic wannabe Swat.

E Team says:

Hey, that's my bad on the standings. Thought I sent them out.

Mark, I've got the malnourished Dinka Deng at 22.

This is shaping up to be the best season of all time.

Front runners floundering, bottom 2 playing spoiler every week and the battle for 3/4 getting bloody.

I find myself keeping scores of other matches that don't even effect me.

Thanks again for the running updates.

Clippers game tomorrow will determine final numbers for Swat-B's and German-Ticket games-Griffin needs only 14 for a Belvedere win while Tom hopes for 38 from CP3

E Team says:

Gosh Deng, everything worked out except for the part about Monta outpointing Jennings in his triumphant return to the Bay. (I'll know going forward that JJ - 36 fp's - is a much better bet than the Sudanese goat herder.)

Well done, XMan.

And wait, Mark, did you get that part about Noah going for Tom Friday night? Are you sure Ticket isn't 12 points, rather than 38, from a win over the Germans?

Good stuff, people.

Ticket says
Instead of attending the Wiz-Nets game Friday, I mistakenly skipped it because there wasn't a seat available online for $1, nor a Chik-a-fil free sandwich offer when an opponent misses two free throws after a dare by the PA announcer like the one in D.C.
This is what I missed: The Nets celebrated Latin Night on Friday, with starting lineups announced in Spanish, and then Williams treated fans to a performance that was simply en fuego.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Deron Williams already had five 3-pointers in less than five minutes when he pulled up in transition well behind the line, just to see how hot he really was.

''Yeah, it was a heat check,'' Williams said. ''I think I should have shot another one after that, too.''

That probably would have fallen as well.

Williams made an NBA-record nine 3-pointers in the first half, finished with 11 and scored a season-high 42 points to lead the Brooklyn Nets to a 95-78 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

Williams made his first eight shots behind the arc, became the first player in a decade to match the opposing team's score in the first half, and was one shy of the NBA record of 12 3-pointers as the Nets opened a huge early lead and coasted.

He missed from straightaway with 1:08 left in the game, leaving him one shy of the record shared by Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall.

Williams had four 3-pointers before Washington even made a basket, his fourth giving the Nets a 16-0 lead before Nene finally got Washington on the board. Williams answered right back with one, and then clearly realizing he was in the zone, pulled up from 25 feet on a fast break and nailed it to make it 22-2.

He finally missed a jumper with 3:21 left in the first period and departed with 23 points, and the Nets led 38-14 after their highest-scoring first period of the season.

Williams checked back in with 7:17 remaining in the half and needed less than a minute to reach 8 for 8, and his streak ended when he was short on a step-back attempt from beyond the arc with 5:50 to go.

But when he struck again with 1:07 to go, he and the Wizards were deadlocked at 33, and he just missed outscoring them for the half when missed an open 3-pointer off an inbounds pass with 0.7 seconds to go.

''I hit the first couple and just they were those shots where when they leave your hand they feel like they're good, and so I just kept shooting them,'' Williams said.

Tracy McGrady is the last player to equal or surpass the opposing team in the first half when he outscored the Denver Nuggets 37-32 on March 9, 2003, according to STATS.

Williams then knocked down one more 3, equaling Stephen Curry for the most in the NBA this season, but couldn't add another.

It was by far the best performance of the season for the two-time Olympian, who didn't even make the All-Star game after signing a five-year extension worth more than $98 million last summer and shooting only 30 percent on 3s before the new year.

But he's been back at his regular level since sitting out a pair of games last month to get treatment on his ankles.

The Nets came in averaging 10.1 3-pointers over the past nine games, but Williams got there himself. He finished 11 of 16 behind the arc, occasionally holding three fingers in the air as he headed back down the floor.

Notes: Williams' seven 3-pointers in the first quarter was one shy of the NBA record for a period, set by former Milwaukee All-Star Michael Redd, Williams' teammate on the 2008 U.S. Olympic team. ... Vince Carter held the previous Nets record of nine 3-pointers, set against Memphis on Dec. 11, 2006.

Well, Ticket misses the magnetism to stardust that Invader enjoys boxing out Noah in an elevator and impersonating the hung over Whitey Ford on the whiffle ball mound teaching the next Bobby Richardson "A Sense of Where You Are." (by Bill Bradley).
I still say Mark's the best man to run this blog despite his impersonation of the knish commish Ticket miscounting scores after corrections have been offered.
Not that my buttering him up will get him to give the coveted first supplemental pick tonite.

204 the hard way

3 guys give me 56 next 3 give me 148.

Great game E! I followed it online and it went down to the final seconds.

So what's the final word on the Ticket/P4 match up?

Hoop Social said...

Invaders got the Noah 26 Tom needs 12 it's 182-171

Hoop Social said...

Ticket's Paul has 37. By The Hangover star's original count, the Germans prevail because the Pistons face with six minutes to go:

Grant Hill
Willie Green
Ronny Turiaf
Maalik Wayns
Ryan Hollins

I don't have time to calculate the unreported matches, but I can tell you this: With four to play, the Nitecaps have recaptured first place by a half game over the Germans, who have now lost five straight. Both have clinched homecourt - the P4s on point differential.

The Wingos have opened up a two-game lead over the Invaders, who may be shipping a case of Coors cans up from California - book rate.

And the historic Melee in the Middle now has four teams separated by a game and a half. And consider this: the best team in the league right now - Mr. B had notched three MHS in four tries going into Match 35 - is not currently in the top four.
