All of us have been tortured by the play (or non-play) of our guard selections this week.
Particularly DB, who's fall from first can be directly attributed to the brutality inflicted upon him by the combined total of Chauncey Billups (-3) and Allen Iverson (0)on Friday.
Here's a day-by-day breakdown:
MONDAY : A harbinger of things to come, as only OA, SP, JG, and BT escape McGrady's sitting out. Unfortunately, JG and BT select Quentin Richardson instead, who responds with a -2.
TUESDAY :Gilbert Arensa, selected by DB, BT, and TM doesn't play, but the smart pick of Ronald Murray by PL, JG, and SP nets a a whopping 1 point.
WEDNESDAY : We are all unscathed.
THURSDAY : Afraid of picking the possibly injured Richardson, PL, DB, CC, BT, OA, and SP select Alan Houston instead. He responds with a -1.
FRIDAY : A classic day. Besides the aforementioned Billups-Iverson combo for DB, Chauncey and his -3 is selected by JG and BT. OA and TM pick Ronald Murray, who comes up with his second killer game of the week, a big fat 0.
SATURDAY : Rlatively minor damage, although DB is once again afflicted, this time by Vince Carter's 1 point performance. BT chips in with the "homer", TJ Ford, who comes up with a 3 point night.
Honorable Mention to:
Jason Terry (9 points on Wednesday for PL and CC).
Baron Davis on Saturday, scoring 8 for JG, DB, OA, and SP.
Jason Richardson, also on Saturday, for scoring 6 on behalf of PL and SP.
And the spectacular Ronald Murray, who capped a terrific series of games by netting 8 for TM yesterday.
Special Homorable Mention to DB, who's backcourt on Friday and Saturday combined for 6 points.
