GOI Fantasy Basketball League Update

Game of Inches has a fantasy basketball league that is coming down to the home stretch with only a month left of the regular season. I have been giving periodic updates throughout this season and have surprising news in this update for those who have been following the league. Two contributors from GOI, Cubsfan4evr1 and The ‘Bright’ One are in the league.

On November 17th, 2009 I gave the first update of the seasonafter a month. As you can see to start the season I was in first place with The 'Bright' One in 5th place. Here is how the point total looked:

1st Place) Cubsfan4evr- 86 Points
5th Place) The 'Bright' One- 54.5

As I said on November 17th “We all know that “The 'Bright' One” knows
basketball and Fantasy sports considering the great job he did with his fantasy
baseball team considering the injuries several of his key players had. Thus, we
will see his team improve over the season.”

On December 30th, 2009 I gave the second update for the league and the last one I reported on this blog. At the end of December I dropped to second place, but was only a few points out and still in competition for first place.

As I said then “The 'Bright' One is currently in 6th place, but usually does
make a push in the second half as we have learned from fantasy baseball and
fantasy football.” TBO always seems to start slow and make a run………………………………..

That takes us to today where I have regained first place for today, but not by much. I am in first place with 74 points. The team in second place has 72.5 points. The team in second place is TBO who has had an incredible run the past two months to go from sixth place to second place and threatening me for first place. He can easily win this league now, where a few months ago it looked like he would have a hard time even finishing in the top three!! As TBO said in his own words “this may be the greatest comeback in fantasy sports history” and he is defiantly right!

The top four teams are within four points of each other so any of those four teams have a chance to take the league. Look to the final update in about a month to see who wins! Me or The 'Bright' One dueling it out!

For TBO being essentially smarter than all of us about every single sports ever (except for maybe DME at baseball), he always seems to do pretty bad in fantasy.

He was 4th out of all four contributors in the pay baseball league last year, he's barely barely barely gotten the last playoff seed our football league the past two years, and now he's in danger of missing this basketball playoffs.

Oh wait, I missed the whole end of the post where TBO might win it all. Anyway, still shocking that TBO ever does bad at fantasy ever

The 'Bright' One said...

Thats cause i only started playing fantasy full time last year. It was an ok rookie season.

If DME knows more baseball than me, which is my top sport, i will f-ing quit all sports.

I've already told DME that i'm planning on winning both baseball leagues this year. I think i heard his voice squeal a little bit

Last year? Dude, you absolutely did baseball AND football two years ago. Just admit it, you're sports knowledge doesn't match your fantasy skizz-ilz son!

If we're talking about baseball pre-2007, you are the man among us four. But everything post-2007, DME will own you like he did Chris Rongey

TBO has started slow, but did have a good comeback in the football league for second place after a slow start and now in the basketball league was about in the same place as he was in the football league and now making a run for first!
