Week 6 Write Up

The Thanksgiving holiday comes to an end and so does week 6. It was a light week with 1 game on Tuesday and no games on Thursday, but there were some big match ups in fantasy this past week. Not a lot of huge news from the NBA, Kawhi's injury is still a mystery, Jahlil Okafor is still a 76er, Derrick Rose may retire, and Nerlens Noel is averaging 2 minutes per game. 

1. Consider the Knicks: The commish remains unbeaten with a 6-3 victory in week 6. His best player of the week was his number 1 pick, Anthony "slips on a mop" Davis. The Brow put up 29.5 points, 12.5 rebs, 2.8 ast, 1.2 blks, on 58.6% fg and 81.8% ft - good for 4th best player of the week. The good news is the Pelicans are winning games and actually have a +.500 record, which means more meaningful basketball for Davis. Maybe Rondo can help them be winners. CTK has his toughest matchup of the season as he faces 2nd place Nocturnal Sunuva Gun. With the top two teams going at it, this is surely my 🔥  MATCHUP OF THE WEEK. 🔥 

2. Nocturnal Sunuva Gun: After a big 7-2 win against the 2nd place team Nocturnal has taken over the 2nd place spot for himself. It must have been a team effort since his player of the week was The Knick's own forgotten child Courtney Lee. Lee put up 17 points, 1.8 treys, 4 rebs, 4 ast, 1.5 steals, .5 blocks on 64.3% fg and 87.5% ft across 4 games - good for 11th best player of the week. NSG faces the unbeaten commish this week in what will undoubtedly be the 🔥  MATCHUP OF THE WEEK. 🔥. Can Nocturnal bring Consider the Knicks back to Earth or will CTK keep winning. All questions will be answered by Sunday evening. 

3. RimmyTinTin: After suffering his first loss of the year in week 5, RTT jumps back on the winning train and goes from 5th to 3rd place. 🏅  His main guy of the week was Kyle Lowry, who put up 21.3 points, 4.3 treys, 11 rebounds, 6.3 ast, 2 steals on 47.2% fg and 89.5% ft - good for 2nd best player of the week 🏅 I need to watch more Raptor games to see how little Lowry can average 11 rebounds during a 3-game week. Regardless, this is a good sign for RTT that Lowry is starting to heat up after a sluggish start. RTT has a tough challenge in week 7 against 5th place SmellsLikeABudussy. A definite runner up to matchup of the week.  

4. Chobani: Injuries plagued the Greek Yogurt's team in week 6 which sent him reeling with a 2-7 blowout loss in the matchup of the week. It's tough to compete when your best player sits out during the week. Chobani's best player of the week was a new addition, Wesley Johnson. Wes put up 15 points, 3.7 treys, 3 rebs, 1 ast, 1.3 steals, and 1 block on 65.2% fg and 80% ft - good for 20th best player of the week. Chobani had a few guys higher but they only played 2 games during the week and were not eligible. Although his matchup against 10th place The Brodie seems favorable, The Brodie has won or lost every matchup this year 5-4 except for one, so Chobani may be in for a grinder. 

5. SmellsLikeABudussy: The slide continues as SLAB has lost his third strait matchup, but it's encouraging they were all only 4-5 losses. There seems to be a piece missing on his roster to get him back on the winning track. Of course his best player of the week comes from one of his big three, this time it's Kyrie Irving. 🏅 The Flat Earther put up 31.2 points, 2 treys, 3 rebs, 4.5 ast, and 1.5 steals on 59.5% fg and 85.2% ft with only 2 turnovers - good for 3rd best player of the week.🏅 SLAB has an elite Big-3, but his guys need some help. Oladipo is helping but after that guys like Lamb and Lou Williams are needing to play above their level. SLAB has a tough matchup with 1-loss 3rd place RimmyTinTin this week.

6. Kiss My Harry B: This guy. After starting out the season with two losses he has quietly put together a 4 week winning streak. I'm calling the leagues attention to this silent progression! He has gone from 11th place at the end of week 2 to 6th. Do you think anyone will read this? Oh well, your best player of the week was Big Dame Lillard who put up 28.5 points, 3.2 treys, 4 rebs, 5.2 ast, .5 steals, and .8 blks on 44.9% fg and 91.2% ft - good for 7th best player of the week. There are no easy wins in this league, but KMHB has a favorable matchup against an injury riddled 11th place White Sides Matter.

7. Queef Latina: QL gutted out the 5-4 victory in week 6 and remains in 7th place for the 3rd strait week. It's tough to gain ground with a lot of 4-5 and 5-4 decisions. QL's best player of the week was once again the Big Serbian Nikola Jokic. The Joker put up 20.3 points, 1.7 treys, 11 rebs, 4.7 ast, 1.3 steals, and .7 blks on 58.1% fg and 66.7% ft - which was enough for 12th best player of the week. QL should see a slight uptick from Otto Porter this week with John Wall sidelined for 2 weeks and Jimmy Butler seems to be getting things back to normal. QL faces 8th place Bogdanovic's Bitches this week.

8. Bogdanovic's Bitches: Bog Bitch can't seem to find consistency yet this year with another loss after a winning week. It's been an up and down year for him, kind of like his best player of the week, Russel Westbrook. Russel the Muscle put up 27.8 points, 2 tryes, 12.2 rebs, 10.2 ast, 2.8 steals on 40% fg and 79.4% ft - good for 8th best player of the week. It's always music to an owner's ears when one of his player averages a triple-double during a 4-game week. The rest of Bog's team didn't seem to get the memo though. Hopefully Ben Simmon's injury is behind him and he can continue to tear it up. Bog Bitch plays 7th place Queef Latina this week. 

9. Young Kangz: Another week and another loss. Despite the injuries it must have been disappointing to come up short against the cellar dweller. On the bright side YK  didn't drop in the standings and retained his 9th place position. His best player of the week was the kleptomaniac Paul George. PG13 put up 16 points, 3 treys, 6 rebs, 4.2 ast, an absurd 4.5 steals, 1 block, but had a poor 38.5% fg and a solid 100% ft at the line - good for 6th best player of the week. George's steals are off the charts right now and he easily leads the league in swipes. Looks like another tough week as Young Kangz faces a red hot 6th place Kiss My Harry B. 

10. The Brodie: The Brodie lost a close match this week 4-5 to a one-loss team in RimmyTinTin, so nothing to feel too bad about here. The Brodie continues to be lead by the King. 🏅 LeBron feasted during the Thanksgiving week with 26 points, 3.3 treys, 8 rebs, 8.7 ast, 1 steal, 1.3 blocks on 54.9% fg and 70% ft - good for best player of the week! 🏅 Hopefully with Chris Paul back, The Brodie can start to string together some victories. With the good news of getting Paul back comes the bad news of facing 4th place Chobani. 

11. White Sides Matter: It was a tough task facing the unbeaten Consider the Knicks this week and WSM fell 3-6. The blocks and assists categories were somewhat close though. Are you guys ready to hop in a time machine to review your best player? It's none other than the 39-year-old Dirk Nowitzki. Dirk put up 15.3 points, 2.3 treys, 8.3 rebs, 2.3 ast, 1.3 steals .7 blocks, on 55.9% fg and 100% ft - good for 16th best player of the week. This may be the only week Dirk is highlighted here, but it's nice to see the Big German contributing and the Mavs beat the Thunder this past week. WSM is matched up with the 12th place cellar dweller in this weeks bottom of the barrel duel. 

12. KarlAnthonyPoundTown: Winner winner chicken dinner! KAPT got their first win of the year in a grind-it-out 5-4 slugfest with 9th place Young Kangz. When you need to win there is nobody better to help grind it out than Karl-Anthony. Towns put up 21.5 points, 1 trye, 12 rebs, 2.2 ast, .8 blocks on 49.2% fg and 88% ft - good for 13th best player of the week. It's also worth noting Buddy Hield had a top-30 week performance which is a good sign for KAPT. Could this be the beginning of a winning streak for PoundTown? He has a great chance to grind it out against 11th place White Sides Matter. 

Alright guys keep checking those box scores, setting those lineups, and sending out low-ball trade offers. Good luck in week 7.
