Week 9’s Game of the Week shook up the standings, alas, as John’s Pineview Knights easily dispatched Oarling Haaldand’s Boat Club 104-88, his 6th straight win. John is now the owner of the longest win streak in the league. Meanwhile, Doc’s On-Call Killers gave Drew a prostate check, and was pretty rough about it, winning 127-77. That sets up a 3-way tie at the top, with Jack currently at #1 with best PPG. If playoffs started today, John would actually grab the #1 seed, due to head-to-head tiebreakers, but fortunately, they don’t, and as fate would have it John and Jack will play each other next week for what will be a HOT matchup between two HOT coaches. For now all three 7-2 teams lead their respective divisions, but only Jack has a two-game cushion.
John was finally able to shake the tie he had been in with Daddy, who would lose to Clay this week 102-119 and fall to 6-3, but he is still well positioned for the playoffs. Clay would climb to 6-3, and after winning three in a row, is now just a game back in the Cul-de-Sack.
The Cul-de-Sack and Papa Jord’s have a two-headed giant thing going on, but X-IA is bit different. Ewoldt and Jesse would both lose this week, while Aaron would win, and that puts them all at 5-4 and all two games back off Jack. If the playoffs ended today; however, only one of them would get in.
Hunt once again displayed a flash of his high power ranking, posting a league high 141 points (6th most by any team this season), sending TC on yet another Odyssey, who would score 98. Hunt has scored 140+ points in 3 of the last 5 weeks, but also has a 60 pt and a 89 pt score mixed in there, so wildly inconsistent. Still, I’d rather lean toward not playing him if I could. At 3-6, he’s still a ways from a wildcard bid, but if continues to up his PPG like this, he’ll have a got shot at that entry point.
Joe, on the other hand, is not quite living up to expectations, as his 87 points against Nelson’s 119 were good for his second loss in a row, and falling to a 3-6 record. It also comes with a Stevenson injury, which he looks to be without for a few weeks. Despite his issues, he still has the second highest PPG in the league, so it’s not like the sky if falling exactly.
Aaron and Austin both snapped two games skids this week, shoutout, but Brady finally stopped digging his way to the center of the earth, beating fellow future father Ewoldt 97-70 and snapping his 4 game losing streak. Brady is now 2-7 and back in a tie with Drew, who guess what…? LOST THIS WEEK. 🤣 The race to the bottom of this league could not get more desperate and sad and I just absolutely love it.
Not much doing here, save the Cul-de-Sack falling further behind.
The Commish’ narrowly holds onto his lead as TC remains on his heels.
