The sixteenth week of TrashTalk Fantasy League ended in a painful way with many bubbles due to absent players this Sunday. The harsh reality of the game reminded some who did not hesitate to propose more or less crazy rule changes by email, and certainly not interested. unfortunately the TTFL is ruthless, and so are we.
To follow everything on the TTFL: go follow the TTFLab!
# The tauliers of the past week
The podium of the week
But how do these people manage to score 100 points more than me in a week?
The individual podium
What a beautiful image to see the two former Nets teammates shine away from Brooklyn!
The team podium
Second consecutive week at the top of the table for the Dukes. Quiet.
# Last week’s best picks
- Monday : Luka Doncic- 83 points (2,6% des picks)
- Mardi : Nikola Jokic – 66 points (25,9% des picks)
- Wednesday : Damian Lillard – 70 points (1,6% des picks)
- THURSDAY : Giannis Antetokounmpo – 75 points (6.1% of picks)
- Friday : Joel Embiid – 58 points (4,7% des picks)
- SATURDAY : Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – 73 points (8,2% des picks)
- Sunday : Joel Embiid – 55 points (7,5% des picks)
# Last week’s carrots
- Spencer Dinwiddie (3,7% des picks) : 5 points vs Pistons
Let’s be honest, we know very well that Dinwiddie is not a safe bet in TTFL. But inevitably, given the uncertainty regarding the participation of Doncic, some have smelled the right shot. Too bad, it’s finally the poop that their nose smelled, Luka playing to finish with best pick while his teammate shit in the glue.
- DeMar DeRozan (8,8% des picks) : 18 points vs Clippers
Facing the Clippers, DeRozan didn’t DeMaré his game properly. Squeak squeak !
- Donovan Mitchell (3,9% des picks) : 8 points vs Grizzlies
Make a good TTFL score or tangle with Dillon Brooks, the choice of Donovan Mitchell was quick. And he will not please those who bet on him.
- Sunday evening with closing of the decks at 7 p.m.
Between those who did not make their choice in time and those who picked a player who ultimately did not play, we are around 30% bubbles this Sunday evening. We don’t have the exact history, but we can’t be far from a record.
# The successes of the past week
- Dejounte Murray (2,8% des picks) : 68 points vs Blazers
Trae Young absent, it was his backcourt friend who took on the big scoring burden – with immediate impact on the TTFL – to try to overcome the Blazers. In vain.
- Aaron Nesmith (1 pick) : 40 points vs Lakers
Yes, once in a while Aaron Nesmith puts out a good score in TTFL. This Thursday was his second greater than or equal to 40, his seventh above 30. You can continue not to take it, it is better for you.
- Anfernee Simons (0,3% pick) : 55 points vs Wizards
For several weeks, it was Damian Lillard who chained the cards, his traditional push before the All-Star game. Simmons made him more or less active figuration, he who mainly attracts people when his franchise player is on the floor. Well this time he shone, despite Lady’s presence.
- Cam Thomas (0,4% pick) : 69 points vs Wizards
KD still injured, Kyrie who also simulates the injury when forcing his trade, someone had to ensure the scoring at the Nets. Cam Thomas did it with skill.
- Trey Murphy III (<0,05% pick) : 52 points vs Kings
No Zion, no Valanciunas, no Ingram. No problem for the Pelicans who might count on a boiling hot Trey Murphy III.
# Last week’s trophies
- Galileo: take Kyrie Irving once morest the Celtics on February 1 – 725 players
It was not the right choice to make on this meeting that Jayson Tatum once once more splashed his talent. As for Kyrie, he was the only Nets player to do well, but his parking lot clumsiness (1/7) is sinking his TTFL score.
# The trophies of the coming week
- Bogdanoff: Take Marcus or Markieff Morris when they face off on February 6
Between superior minds, we understand each other.
- Kendall Jenner: Take Devin Booker or Ben Simmons when they face off on February 7
Small problem: one is injured, the other not very productive in TTFL
# Our pick of the week
LeBron James vs Thunder : We don’t know why, but we thought that asking LeBron James on Tuesday once morest the Thunder, when the Lakers are playing at home and a certain Kareem Abdul-Jabbar should be in the stands, is not a crazy idea. We just remember for those who live in a cave that LBJ needs 36 pawns to overtake KAJ…
Come on, let’s take a deep breath, the bubbles are certainly filled with air and it’s good for your lungs. And then there is soon the All-Star break to let you sleep easy before getting back into the rhythm of the TrashTalk Fantasy League.
