Week 2 Almost Over...

Wow - what a week. The JBL standings are starting to spread out...Seoul is rising to the top and Maui is sinking to the bottom. It's been a crazy week of injuries and observations from Golden headquarters.

Golden will have lost 11 man games this week when it's all said and done. That's essentially like playing the week with just 9 guys. It doesn't help that 5 of those man games lost were from Wade and Lowry. Hayes and Okur have also missed time this week. It's hard to know how your team measures up to the rest of the pack when you're only playing with 9 guys. At one point in week 2 Golden was over 800 points. By the end of the week, Golden will probably finish in the 550 point range. Such is the life of an injured fantasy team early in the season.

Week 3 will hopefully yield a healthy Wade and Lowry as well as see the debut of Marshon Brooks, Ian Mahinmi and Byron Mullens. It's a sad week for your JBL team when you have to start the last 3 names I just mentioned. However, these are the problems a team faces when you crap your pants in the JBL Auction.

So, these are the men that will be relied upon to provide some stats, any stats, for week 3. Compare them to the other JBL teams who have Gortat and McGee in Chilliwack. Or Amare and Hawes in MBB. Or Bynum and Jordan. Or Howard. Simply stated, the center situation in Golden is as ugly as Mullens porno facial hair.


It looks like there are some major bargains in the JBL this season. Some guys went for cheap and are putting up big numbers. There aren't many Centers you'd rather have so far than Spencer Hawes. He's putting up big numbers to date for a guy who went for a couple of bucks. Can he keep it up all year though? Andrew Bynum has also turned into a fantasy stud and is just $20 bucks. He could be the #1 keeper in the soon to be released 'Keeper Studs for 2012' list.

Has anyone checked out the numbers that Andrea Bargnani is putting up? Not bad for $21 bucks.

Or how about the early season numbers on this guy....

Mr. Harden is quietly averaging 18-5-4 and shooting almost 49% from the field.









And Steph Curry's fantasy stock took a huge hit in week 2. He suffered his 7th ankle sprain in the last 15 months. The kid is uber-talented but he just can't stay on the court. I'm sure that injury is a frustrating one for his French Lick owner.

That's all for now...it's late...Golden sucks.
