Week 17, Wednesday

Yesterdays Projections  10/36 = 27.7%

Lock Time = 6:00

Free Agents that went over 20 yesterday

20% of FAs were 20+ yesterday
Channing Frye  27
Doug McDermott  21

We have a full scale of plays today and honestly most if not all teams should have the best lineup they can put on the floor tonight. Some people will have to make tough decisions on who to sit on the bench. I know I have that problem tonight. But with that said. We have some of the highest projections for a night that I have ever made. I honestly hope to see 3 teams over 200 tonight. Maybe someone can approach the 230 plateau. And on a side note. If are plays stay over 50 then I don't think I can count them towards record weeks. Our most plays in a week is 50 by Nate. And that's all time record not just this year. But I do remember 2 years ago when the all-star weekend produced a few 50 play weeks and a 52. But last year the plays were pretty normal. So either my projections are high for this week or the NBA plays more games every other year at this time. 

PLAY PROJECTIONS
Ritter (48)  49  vs   Dalton (50)  52
Eric (48)  49  vs   Gher (46)  47
Deek (51)  50  vs   Dane (49)  48
Nathan (51) 51  vs   Kapper (51)  50
Matt (45)  44   vs   Todd (49)  51

Ritter  11---17.4

Dalton  13---15.6

Dalton has more plays and Ritter has higher average. So who would be leading after 2 days? Answer DALTON, he has a 11 point lead. And I hope he is savoring this all up because Ritter does not trail hardly ever and his player average is lowest it has been in 10 weeks. So if Dalton can stay on the gas then perhaps he will break the win streak of Ritter.

Gher  11---14.3

What a close match we have here. Just 3 points separate these guys and I don't just mean there player average. I believe Eric has the better team so when it's line up for line up and your playing the best that you have, I have to believe Eric will pull away and extend the lead tonight. My projections do not give his lineup justice. I would say I think Eric needs to drop Korver and try and find a better play on the night but he has to have a SG. So unless a better one reveals himself, I guess Korver will have to do.

Talk about a great H2H match for the night. Nate and Kapper have 2 of the highest projections I have ever made on a night. There player averages are below season average. So I think they will bump them right back up tonight. Here come the FIREWORKS!!!

Todd  12---19.2

Todd lowered his average by 4 points on the week last night but he still is dominating is buddy Matt. Todd is up 96 points, usually once you get your opponent down 100 it seems like there done for the week. So if Todd can extend the lead by just 4 more points tonight then perhaps he will get another win. But I would not count Matt out. If he is down 100 before all star break. Then watch him maneuver and make trades and the right acquisitions to have 60 plays on the week to try and over take Todd. It could happen!
