Premier League
Things are getting very interesting in the Premier League with six teams with a record of 5-6 with 5 rounds remaining. There are going to lots of crucial matchups coming up which will impact on the final playoff spots.



King of Karlos (9-2) 1565 defeated Feel the Love (5-6) 1276



Karlos handed out a smashing to Feel the Love this round and this matchup was over very early in the round. Games played were 43-41 in favour of Feel the Love. Karlos is sitting pretty at the top of the table and his team is firing on all cylinders. Once again Durant was the best with 237/4, followed by Griffin (203/3) and Duncan (155/3). Feel the Love is now in a six way battle to claim one of the last remaining spots in the finals. This week they were best served by Love (176/4), Dragic (170/4) and Lee (129/3).


Anthak (5-6) 1427 defeated Too Seriouseses (5-6) 1417



This was the closest match in the Premier League this round and it was a must win match for Anthak to keep in the hunt for the last remaining spots in the finals. Thanks to junk time in the Kings/Cavs game, Anthak was able to hold on and get the win. Games played were 43-40 in favour of Anthak. Carmelo led the way for Anthak with (176/3), next best were Calderon (161/4) and Iggy (126/3). Walesy is also one of the teams in the hunt for the last few final spots and this week his best players were Gay (176/3), IT2 (152/3) and Meeks (112/3).

Wade Machine (8-3) 1438 defeated Jasmine's Mob (1-10) 1048



Jasmine's season went from bad to worse this round with the news that Holiday is probably out for the remainder of the season. Nothing has gone right for her this season. This round Wade Machine handed out another loss to Jasmine. Games played were 37-33 in favour of Wade Machine. Dirk turned back the clock this week with (217/4), followed by Jordan (174/3) and MCW (171/4). This week Jasmine's best players were Foye (161/3), D12 (123/3) and Sideshow Bob (117/3).

1 Gasol 1 Brow (5-6) 1701 defeated Westside Hardcore (7-4) 1295



Well done to Jet this week in posting the highest score in the Premier League. His team delivered when he needed them most and is now one of the 6 teams in the hunt the last 2 final spots. As per usual Monobrow was a beast with (239/4), next best were Pekovic (206/4) and Conley (199/3). This was an unusually quiet week for Westside and his best players were Millsap (162/4), Batum (151/3) and Chucker Crawford (135/4). Games played were 44-41 in favour of Westside.

The Jug -O-Naughts (5-6) 1517 defeated Run TMC (5-6) 1250



The Jug -O-Naughts were another team which needed a win badly this round to maintain their hopes of a playoff spot. They were able to post a comfortable victory over Run TMC. Games played were in favour of 43-36 in favour of the Jug -O-Naughts. DMC led the way with (190/3), next best were LMA (174/3) and Eric Gordon (157/4). J Smoove was the best player for Run TMC this week with (234/4), followed by Drummond (186/4) and LBJ (174/3).

Ruddy's Cavaliers (4-7) 1421 defeated Team Heaver (7-4) 1351



In something of a surprise, Ruddy's Cavaliers were able to get a good win over Team Heaver this round. But having said that, the Cavaliers have been coming home strong over the past few weeks. Games played were 43-41 in favour of the Cavaliers. The waiver wire pick up of Collison (161/3) paid off big time for the Cavaliers, next best were Wall (159/4) and Ellis (190/4). Heaver was another team who had a quiet week this round and are looking to rebuild after the injuries to Horford and Westbrook. This round their leading scorers were Harden (180/3), Lawson (168/3) and Korver (163/3).

Divison One






<div dir='ltr]Mookie Blaylock Athletic Club (8-3) 1466 def by Adelaide Maggots (8-3) 1515



Bang! Welcome the winners of eight in a row and new joint league leader, Adelaide Maggots. A massive last two days got the win against the high scorers of MBAC. JSmoove (234 / 4) was massive, with Noah (157 / 3) and IT2 (152 / 3) continuing solid stretches. Not all bad news for MBAC as their score would've defeated more than half the league this week. Blake (203 / 3) somehow looks better without CP3 while Love (176 / 4) had one of his quieter weeks.



Team Stowie (7-4) 1360 def The Raptors (7-4) 1358



In a matchup that was close all the way through, neither team made ideal last day acquisitions. The Raptors, who were led by Monta (190 / 4) and Harden (180 / 3), added Pero Antic who was a late out and contributed nothing. Team Stowie made two acquisitions with Danny Green providing (1 / 1) and breaking a hand/wrist and Jarret Jack (2 / 1) in a blowout. When combined with Mike Conley's (199 / 3) big last day it was just enough to pinch the win.



Fudge Fudge (3-8) 1357 def Travys Boys (4-7) 895



This matchup was done after day three with Fudge dominating and Travy running out of players, fast! LBJ (174 / 3) and LMA (174 / 3) led for Fudge, while Travy relied on Jennings (160 / 4) and Ty Lawson (168 / 3) with Deron, Tyson Chandler, Henson and Super Mario all providing nothing for the week.



Cyril33s Crushers (4-7) 1422 def Broady Broncos (6-5) 1382



The Crushers used a big last day to overtake the Broncos and win their third straight. Millsap (162 / 4) and Collison (161 / 3) continue to excel after significant injuries to their team mates. The Broncos would've loved DC, as they are now without CP3 for several weeks leaving the scoring to SF pair Rudy G (176 / 3) and Ariza (153 / 4).



Laino's Nuggets (4-7) 1315 def by Liquid's Sixers (4-7) 1399



Another couple of players have picked it up since losing a team mate to injury, KD (237 / 3) and Dragic (170 / 4) had big weeks for L6 handing Laino dropped their fifth straight loss despite losing Bledsoe to injury. Dallas pair Dirk (217 / 4) and Jose (161 / 4) led for Laino's who lost Jrue to injury after two sub par games. Someone must be messing with the PG's water in the NBA.



Crossy Crusaders (4-7) 1615 def by CK Nicks (7-4) 1634



Two rivals went head to head and came away CK with the win. Crossy made four changes for the last day but fell just short despite big efforts from Jason Thompson (41 / 1) and Boris Diaw (30 / 1) with Melo (175 / 3) and Drummond (186 / 4) handled most of the heavy lifting throughout the matchup. CK were led by Pek (206 / 4), DMC (190 / 3) and Iso Joe (175 / 4) and after just avoiding relegation last year look like a strong playoff, and championship, chance.

Division Two



<div class='WordSection1]
A couple of close games this week in Div 2 and the league leaders on the wrong end of a blowout! There was also one trade this week with the Broken Arrows sending Dwyane Wade and Tobias Harris to SJM for Marcin Gortat and Kevin Martin. More significant injuries struck with Jrue Holiday and Ryan Anderson both to have lengthy spells on the sideline and Danny Green out for 4 weeks with yet another broken hand. This round also signifies the point where every team has played each other once.

Round 11 results as follows:



Biggest Losers (7-3) - 1616 def Six Ten Two Forty (7-3) - 1597




In probably one of the better fantasy basketball games I have ever been involved with the Losers snuck home in a very tight contest over the Two Forty's. This was an epic battle between two strong teams, with both team using the waiver wire with a great deal of success, but it was the 4 acquisitions by the Losers that got them the chocolates. The 4 players picked up off the wire, who each played one game for the Losers, totalled a score of 175 to get the Losers over the line. The Two Forty's had a great waiver wire pick up themselves of CJ Miles who knocked out a score of 80! Both teams had 40 games played in what was one of the greatest games of fantasy basketball in the history of man.

Top performers:

Losers: Davis - 239/4

Pekovic - 206/4

Harden - 180/3

Two Forty: Griffin - 203/3

James - 174/3

Jordan - 174/3



Adelaide Celtics (2-8) - 1227 def The Hinrich Manoeuvre (6-4) - 1148




The Celtics took their season win tally to 3 with this 79 point victory over THM. THM GM Woodford would be absolutely ropable at a couple of his players for their low scores, in particular Beasley and Danny Green who combined for a grand total of 6 points for 3 games. To add insult to injury (or injury to insult?) Danny Green is going to miss the next month with a fractured hand, adding to the already injured Paul and Chalmers. The Celtics played more games 37-36.

Top performers:

Celtics: Smith (Josh) - 234/4

Noah - 157/3

Thomas - 152/3

THM: Duncan - 153/3

Young - 134/4

Lee - 129/3



Nahla vs Little Dee (6-4) - 1591 def Brisbane Average Joes (6-4) - 1302




Little Dee got the win over the more fancied Average Joes with this easy victory. After a lengthy winning streak the Average Joes have hit the wall and have now suffered two losses in a row. Seems that GM Morris needs to get active again with no acquisitions used this week, which no doubt helped Little Dee secure the victory. Games played were in Little Dee's favour 42-37.

Top performers:

Little Dee: Gay - 176/3

Johnson (Joe) - 175/4

Foye - 161/3 (WTF?)

Average Joes: Conley - 199/3

Ellis - 190/4

Dragic - 170/4



Doobia Dominators (3-7) - 1253 def Smokin Joe Misiti (2-8) - 1114




In the battle of the cellar dwellers the Dominators racked up an easy win over SJM. GM Doobs has won as many games in his past 2 as he had in the past 9 before that. His pre and post-game speeches must be starting to sink in. Meanwhile GM McCallum has lost 4 on the trot and is looking towards next year in Div 3. Games played were 40-38 in the Dominators favour.

Top performers:

Dominators: Anthony - 175/3

Aldridge - 174/3

Meeks - 113/3

SJM: Millsap - 162/4

Gordon (Eric) - 157/4

Gortat - 149/4



Paky Ballers (5-5) - 1627 def Bokoshe Broken Arrows (9-1) - 1208




In an absolute boilover the Ballers not only beat, but absolutely flogged the league leading Broken Arrows. GM Brett T would be scratching his head wondering what went wrong this week after this massive loss. Maybe team balance was thrown out when players Wade and Harris were shipped off. Can GM Brett get the ship back on track? On the other hand GM Drake takes his record over 0.500 with a 2 game win streak and is looking forward to shaking up a few more teams for the remainder of the season. Games played was 44-42 in the Ballers favour.

Top performers:

Ballers: Durant - 237/3

Monroe - 148/4

Green (Jeff) - 141/4

Arrows: Lillard - 129/3

Varejao - 117/3

George - 109/3



Peg's Men Lethal (5-5) - 1572 def Greek Freak Love Favors (2-8) - 1293




The team with their ever changing name fell to their 4th straight loss in this heavy defeat against PML. The Greek Freak is not exactly living up to his name with only 67 points from 3 games this week. PML GM Walles takes his record to 6-5 and will be hoping for a few more wins to round out the season. Games played was 44-42 in Favors favour.

Top performers:

Lethal: Nowitzki - 217/4

Cousins - 190/3

MCW - 171/4

Favors: Drummond - 186/4

Love - 176/4

Livingston - 162/4 (???)
