A Jedi League Update
"Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view."
More than halfway through week 9, and 99.726% through 2005, themarksmen sit at 4-3, a big 3 games behind front running GSW Blog in the Jedi League. But, looking at the points scored column pictured below, and you can see that themarksmen are coming on strong – a mere 15 points out of first. Indeed, the quality of my team depends on your point of view.
So, how have things gone recently for my team?
Week 6: Give Me The Roq 519.7 at themarksmen 509.6
Worst. Lost. Ever. Ok, that’s a little dramatic, it was another heartbreaking loss for themarksmen, as 509 points was the second most points in the league for the week. For some perspective, the third most points that week was 459. The loss also totally wasted a dominating performance by Elton Brand, who accounted for 115 out of my teams 509 points and picked up a double-double for every game during the week. On the flip side, in an equally dominating performance, Dwyane Wade scored 105 points for Give Me The Roq.
The Brain Cook Factor. Ok, I’ll admit it. I speculatively started Brian Cook in week 6 based upon his status as a “starter”, and it might have cost me the win. His line for the week, 28 pts, 3 assists, 14 rebounds, and one trip back to the waver wire. Just ugly. Have I mentioned that this is a deep league?
Week 7: Free Zarko 266.8 at themarksmen 441
Week 8: Ligers 222.7 at themarksmen 383.4
Alright, I’ll say it. I don’t really know what is going on with CBS “home” vs. “away” shtick. I’m not sure what kind of home court advantage I was getting in weeks 6-8. But, if they’re going to do it, at least get some marksmen girls to make an appearance at halftime.
I grouped weeks 7 and 8 together, because they were both similar weeks that featured strong performances from Lebron James, Elton Brand, Tony Parker. Things started to turn around for themarksmen in week 7 (with a 2-3 record at the time), with a convincing win over Free Zarko. Week 8 was a nice win all wrapped up in a bow during a shortened Christmas week that also included a Primoz Brezec sighting (and it only took 8 weeks!).
And a happy New Year to all!
