Noah
KG
Josh Smith
Curry
Paul
Wall


on Mar 18 2013, In leading the Wizards to a 3-1 record, Wall averaged 24 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and two steals, while shooting 61.6 percent from the field (37 for 60), 80 percent from three-point range (4 for 5) and 85.7 percent from the free throw line (18 for 21).
Little research is needed to find a better or similar span in his career, because the statistical marks Wall met have never been duplicated by any NBA player since the three-point era began in 1979-80.

E Team says:

Two late, meaningless free throws by James Harden deny the Nitecaps one last shot at the pennant, just as he - maybe - gets both Melo and Kobe back.

But hey, the Germans righted the ship in time and did what they had to do.

Check this out: If the Xman had not held off the E Team 204-202 in Match 36, a match in which Tim Duncan was benched long before the Blazers ran away from the Spurs in a blowout, the E Team would now be in second place, one win away from securing the double jeopardy advantage.

But the ancient rivals will now meet with the Nitecaps having homecourt and getting healthier, while the E Team may or may not have a full-strength Monta, whose recent surge powered the squad's drive to the playoffs.

But before any of that gets sorted out, the high-octane Mr. B, who was 8-14 before morphing into the league's most potent team, could see all of it turn to dust in Match 40.

Huge drama as the ugly duckling Ticket, second worst in the association at 176.5, plays with house money for a chance to swim at the Big Dance

Dazzling stuff.

Ticket's D is best in the league!...But Wingo's may be better when the season's over.

Speaking of ugly, the dicktator with his windy diatribes postponing the instatement of the second chance rule, cost Mr. B a victory over Ticket thru the second chance rule that had not been instated. Multiple mentions of the best team in the league for the second half is a thin veneer for someone trying to disguise a Bob Lanier sized foot in his mouth.

Match 33:Final Belvederes defeat the Tickets 227-202

Match 26: it's the Belvederes over the Tickets 196-179

Match 19: Tickets are victorious beating the B's 176-164

Match 12:Tickets of Brooklyn defeat the B's of Belvedere 202-186 (Evans DNP)

Match 5:Without Wade, Mr.B manages to defeat the NY Tickets 160-153

Dumb ass "average" standings keeper harps on? Head to head Mr. B 185-181 Ticket

Hey Tom: Leave it to you to stain everyone's enjoyment of the proceedings with your cowardly, chicken-shit attacks on others. Windy diatribes? Second chance rule? I don't hear Mr. B or anybody else whining and crying about the second chance rule. That shit is done. All I did was try to insure that we didn't adopt something even worse. I take zero responsibility for anybody losing any match except the ones they lost to my squad.

And your play-by-play of matches against Mr. B? What the fuck did you even post that for? What is it supposed to mean? Who gives a shit?

I've been nothing but fair, even complimentary, toward you and your squad on this blog and you think it's fucking interesting to blather on about your own stupid shit and insult me? You think that's entertaining? I thought maybe we'd just enjoy what remains of what everyone else agrees is a remarkable season. But no, you've got to take down the petty, mean-spirited little hole you live in.

I cost people matches? I kept your shitty team out of the NIT for one more match. I thought you were going to honor me or something. I get this horseshit instead? Questioning my dedication to this league?

You just can't keep it in an intelligent, respectful place, can you? At some point it's always going to become about your bitterness and paranoia.

Fuck that. And fuck you. I am not fucking amused. Why don't you just keep your fucking mouth shut until your team is dead and buried. And then do us all a favor and keep it shut after that.

Monta Ellis finishes a game holding an aching wrist, then goes 2 for 14 and puts up a fantasy 7 in 37 minutes in his next game, and everybody in the sports media is acting like nothing happened. Jesus.

Whatever.

DHow, Monta, Pierce, Duncan, Greivis, Hawes

Happy Fan Appreciation Night, everybody.

No question I am disturbed. Speaking of that, here's some news for the blessed fair minded basketball pundit who's ass I meant to kick in six fantasy finals I played had he been a wee bit more concerned about playing than whatever else he does on the blog. Boasting about future Washingtonians on the new Seattle Sonics?

Vivek Ranadive, a minority owner of the Warriors, has agreed to take the lead role in the ownership group attempting to keep the Kings in Sarcramento, person with knowledge of the move told USA Today's Sam Amick.
The news came just minutes before the group was scheduled to release a term sheet announcing their bid for the Kings. The City of Sacramento later announced negotiations with the group were ongoing and the sheet wouldn't be released Thursday. Ranadive's presence could help the Sacramento group up their offer price, which commissioner David Stern recently said needed to be increased. Ranadive would have to sell his stake in the Warriors in order to complete any Kings deal.

Ticket says Ranadive is a name to be reckoned with. Speaking of Ranadive, the commish should expect my check in the mail this weekend for dues because I hardly believe his squad beat the "best team in the second half," as he so often says.

Li'l Hawthorne is new to the league (but totally digs its funky vibe). He did not realize Ticket was trying to be funny. As an elderly gentleman, Li'l H is new to the concept of internet memes, but when he reads Ticket's spew, he thinks of "Insanity Wolf".

P4

Since we're playing Wingos (no offense W) and it means nothing to either team, nor to any other league outcomes, we're clearing the bench for Match 40.

Lillard
Afflalo
Heyward
Favors
Bosh

E Team says:

Mr. B wasn't the best team down the stretch? What fucking fantasy world are you living in, Tom? Look at the numbers. What, it's not true because I said it? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Unknown said...

This is the best thread of the season!

Thank you Eric and Tom, for reminding me why this is truly the best league (even if it is Basketball).

The "B" team is down right scary right now, but let's see what happens when he get's the big stage.

He has to get to the big stage first.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Authorities have found about $4 million worth of marijuana and a panga boat at a beach in Santa Barbara County.

The boat was spotted early Sunday at Arroyo Quemado Beach. Partially hidden in bushes were 50 plastic-wrapped bales of pot with a combined weight estimated at 2,000 pounds.

The boat was apparently abandoned and had at least 20 fuel containers on board. Panga boats are often used for smuggling people or drugs into the United States from Mexico.
