This is fun, should allow us all to keep our scores (not sure how long it saves for though)

Was RUS Robbed of Player of the Week?
I have to say, I wanted to give it to him just on the basis of his 7 point masterpiece alone. Add to that his 5-point game for HYN-MKE-RUS that would have given them the win if HYN was any kind of help. In RUS' 4 games this week, he matched his season high in points at 4, set a new high with 5 in the next game, and then obliterated it again with 7 in his last. Saying all of this makes me think I made a huge mistake.
He did go 2-2 though, and was lacking in the Reb and Ast department. I guess those were my knocks against him. But looking back at it, it doesn't seem like much, considering he did all he could in one of those losses.
39% FG was good, and he leapfrogged 4 players (MKE, MA, MAT, WILL) into 7th in Baller Rank... RUS was definitely a different kind of baller this week.
I think I might have to change it to Co-Players of the Week.
PS. Just look at RUS' page and the difference in this year from BBA5. Look at that PPS and PPG gain!

FG%
Dear FG%,
You have been missing for some time now. I have looked for you many places: the gym, the hoop on Hollis, the hoop near Leap Frog/Starbucks/Big Fix, the trash can at work... Please call me, write me, or just return! I need you!
I don't know how much longer I can last without you. That reverse layup that went over the backboard was, well, #@$%ing ridiculous!
Missing you always,
MKE

Give me the damn ball and the blame game
It's a month into the season and I already have a losing percentage! Overall, my field goal percentage is better than most of the BBA seasons I've been involved in, not to mention my 3-point percentage is somehow above 30% for once. Even my point per shot matches my career high. So why am I on the losing end of so many games?
I've complained to Russ and Mike constantly (not like they ever listen to me on the drive home) about how I feel I am playing the best defense of my life (not like I was ever that great to begin with...but whatever) yet have to fight to get a shot off since my teammates don't give me the ball enough this season. Seriously, put it in my FREAKIN hands and let me do work. All season I've had to work to get my own shots, since for whatever reason, every time I pass the ball, I don't get it back. I didn't have a single game of only 1 field goal made in a game ALL of last season. I've had 5 already this season.
Over half the league shoots the ball more times per game than me. My shots per game would be even worst if I wasn't forced to jack up shots, regardless if they are high percentage or not, because my team is in a hole and I figured I might as well jack up anything just to get a shot at the rim. I should seriously make videos of me running around in freakin circles waving my arm around as my teammates play a two-man game. The video of me screaming "GIVE ME THE BALLL" as Kevin is laughing during his recording makes me want to stab myself in the eye.
Which brings me to the next point: Sure I give up a layup now and then, but my defense has been pretty in-your-face this year. Attribute it to me forcing myself to do cardio in my sparetime, but I feel confident about guarding anyone. However, all I'm doing this season is playing lockdown defense on my man...only to turn around and watch the opposing team run layup drills and open jumpers on my teammates. Seriously...GUARD SOMEONE. And what is my reward for making the opponents basically play 2on3? Oh yes....I DON"T GET THE BALL ON OFFENSE.
I hate life.

Worst Week in BBA History?
I'd just like to point out that the reason DAN left early this week was not because he needed to pick up his sister, but because he was sucking it up big time and could not afford to play another game and see his stats tank. His 3-game stretch this week is quite possibly the worst week by anyone in BBA history:
Record: 0-3
Points: 0.33 ppg
Rebounds: 0.67 rpg
Assists: 0.00 apg
FG: 1 for 7, 14.3%
3PT: 0 for 4, 0.0%
It can't get much worse than this.

Well great, we're halfway through the season and we already have a champion!
Thanks to the unbalanced schedule forced upon us by various absences, injuries, tardiness and early departures, JOE-ROG-DAV have already played 5 games and won them all to go 5-0! Meanwhile, WLL-HRB-DAV have yet to play even 1 game. And considering that JOE-ROG-DAV's final game is against HYN-MKE-RUS, who's only win thus far has been against preseason #Worst Team in the BBA RAY-MA-DAV, they can almost be guaranteed of going 6-0. Only one team in BBA history has finished the season undefeated at 6-0, and that was KLO-ROG-DAN, who did it twice in consecutive seasons to win back-to-back titles. The writings on the wall: HYN said he could do something magical with HYN-MKE-RUS. Something magical MUST be done to stop JOE-ROG-DAV.
Note: If Strength of Schedule were calculated, surely JOE-ROG-DAV would have one of the weakest (based on current Power Rankings):
- #9 HYN-RAY-MAT (2-2): Preseason #2 has been very disappointing thus far
- #25 HYN-MA-DAN (0-4)
- #19 KLO-MA-MKE (0-1)
- #18 WLL-MKE-MAT (1-3)
- #19 WLL-MA-DAN (0-1)
- #17 HYN-MKE-RUS (1-2)
Here's to hoping that 1) HYN-MKE-RUS pulls off something sexy, or else 2) A second team finishes 6-0 so we can have a true title/championship series.

Thats it.
I can deal with being at the bottom in field goal%, i can deal with my less than mediocre stats, i can deal with my shitty play, i can deal with a spotty record... BUT I CANNOT DEAL WITH BEING SCHOOLED BY DAVIS.
That. Is. It.
It is on.
As I watch the gains in Davis' play of the week votes, i grow more and more determined... to dominate. I realize the only reason my opponents get a chance to school me is because i don't end the game fast enough. Back in the day, it was tres, tres, tres and the game was over. But now that i am lacking in my offensive prowess, i play an exploitable game. In the video, i see a lot of me being in the facialed section, whereas i used to be in the facialer section. I think there in lies my answer. Give out more facials, which equates to domination in offense, which equates to scoring more points faster, which equates to going back to my cruel bitch lover- the tre.
Yes. It will be over next week for all of you. I will bring complimentary towels that read, "I got facialed by Roger and all i got was this dirty towel".
(On a side note, this "facialing" is used in the most heterosexual, basketball dominating way, if you are thinking of it in a different way... you disgust me.)
THE END.
