WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 7 2-5 12

This season is all too similar with first round upsets, after knocking off the number 1 seed last season. They won the games, they were favored to win and lost to the upper echelon of teams in the league, minus Suba. Nick was the only player to appear in all 7 games this season, so perhaps having a full roster in attendance would help. They have 5 guys averaging at least 11 points per game and we know Ed doesn’t need many shot attempts to get cookin’. Not sure they will strike lightning in a bottle again and upset B. Recap: Nick and Zeeshan have been their best players all season and I expect them to play meaningful roles in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Week 6 1-5 15

Was that an Ed sighting??? Commish came back and almost led his team to victory. 7-point lead going into half time means nothing when you get outscored by 17 in the second half. It’s a shame to see so much talent go to waste.

Week 5 1-4 17

They did the unimaginable …… they lost to Suba. I 100% give up all hope on this team. Need to blow up the roster and start from scratch. Maybe Adam Froogh can lace em up next season.

Week 4 1-3 15

They were simply out hustled and outperformed. Give all the credit to Bukhara for locking down Kenny but this team is not the same without Ed. I expect a blow out and pad your stats kind of game for them against Suba.

Week 3 1-2 14

1)    Sheesh! Upset of the week! This team just looks slow, and really lack a guard at the moment. Sure they can post up and body you in the paint, but you need to facilitate the ball in order for all that to transpire. Without Ed, this team is far too predictable.

Week 2 1-1 11

I know I said last week, “When Ed plays, they win and when he doesn’t automatic L”, and although that may still hold true, Ed wasn’t the savant he normally is. Let me introduce you all to Week 2 player of the week, Nicholas Francis, no relation to Stevie Francis, AKA Franchise. 27 points, 19 rebounds and 2 blocks is a monster night. I know this team is stacked with scorers, but they may have to consider running their offense through Nick moving forward, just based on how he has played over the past few seasons.

Week 1 0-1 12

It’s like a broken record with this team every season, Ed plays they have a chance. He doesn’t, automatic L.
