Happy New Year Bitches!!! Hope you all are doing fine and dandy (<--Will be Shawn's new team name). Well with 2013 upon us, we've come to the half way mark of the season (well 1 game away but it'll be official after tonight's games) and the year of parity continues as the entire league has double digit losses and only one has single digit wins. And WS just 'adjusted' the 11/26 scores from the NY/BK game so some of us got some holiday gifts/coal (yay for my extra 2 wins!). And shit's getting real so we got half a season to get right for the playoffs. So with no further delay:

Rankings-

1-Duval County: (19-11, 297, 4)
Fresh off an 8 game win streak, Frank's team has stumbled to two straight losses...to 300+ scores. Which seems to be the only way to beat this team and even then it's a 50/50 chance. Team sports the highest avg the league has ever seen this late in the season (297) and put up a whopping 317ppg in the 9 games prior to game 30. Team has put up 300+ in 13 of it's 30 games.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/3b8bb5816da9311b64e2b433b1b624bb.png
Roadtrippers...ok makes sense. I give him a B- for mild humor and classic film reference. But not much flare to the logo.

2-East River: (19-11, 268.6, 5)
Matty is taking this season personal...and winning his division in the process. A little luck isn't hurting though as a few dud games have still netted wins lately.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/e83ceeffb6f971c7012b52de75ede887.jpg
River Rollers + Pac man. I don't get it (c) Ceej. D- only because I like Pacman.

3-Coney Island: (20-10, 273.8, 1)
"Bitch back the fuck up because I'm struuuugg-a-lin'!!!" 6-7 since last rankings including 4L's in a row, his MVP Sideshow down and experiencing trader's remorse. If the Shark wasn't so far out in front of everybody, he'd be in panic mode, but as such, still best record in the league...for now.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/1d35ffa16ab2b603eaac5d050490d4db.gif
C+ mainly for plagiarism but at least the logo is fitting.

4-CHI:ESL: (19-11, 255, 2)
Hit a rough patch in late December with a few injuries and losing 7 of 8 games but has since recovered for 3 in a row. Even with all that, still leads Walton by 4 and is tied for 2nd best record in the L.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/b7141ea7f8de855bc550187ffd9fb4ec.gif
A- for originality and color scheme. It is a lil corny looking tho lol

5-Hollywood: (18-12, 261, 7)
Guards underperforming and Dwight down for a while now (a week but possibly more). Ryan has to be concerned/pissed.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/39f2c52be08ce84ae5cce60e8bafce2b.png
Ok A- for this one also, cuz even though there's plagiarism this logo looks like a sports teams logo.

6-Theodesia: (17-13, 266.5, 6)
Dirk back, Jameer heating up, CF's still beasting and the only question I could ask myself about theo's team is: What the F is a Brian Roberts?

No Logo = LAME

7-Villanova: (17-13, 261.5, 9)
The Middle F rotation of this team won't let it run off a streak but if they get hot, could be some trouble.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/9b4551dfa12bd889d2a19737ae10a4d0.jpg
Only team in the lame ass Barkley with a logo and I'm gonna give him a B+ on that alone. Woulda had an A but the Nova Bros in the logo look like gay porn models.

8-Northeast Regional: (16-14, 260.3, 10)
Ok, so a team with Zach and Bron can't suck ALL yr right? 8-5 since last rankings and putting up decent scores.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/f07e814246a35e90ecda7bde55b2b9e2.png
A+...looks like a logo, fits the theme and has comedic value. Well done.

9-South Texas: (15-15, 271.9, 8)
How does a team with 3rd highest avg only land at .500?

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/f9956631ffb5d9c0777d5f3c94730947.jpg
WTH? Is dude supposed to be a gunboat? And there's not one Thunder player on his roster. FAIL.

10-Cerritos: (16-14, 266.9, 3)
Lost 9 of last 11, ouch.

No Logo = VERY LAME

11-NYC: (13-17, 244.3, 15)
Love comes back-YAY! Gordon comes back-YAY! Love goes down-FROWN! Just when the rook started to ballout too (9-4 since last rankings).

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/a85a2a3a33fb9bec5694d7955276b84a.jpg
Ok, I get it, Father MC...I'll do for you & Treat 'em like they want to be treated. But was this the irony logo (dude is a bad dad who goes by the moniker 'father'). Eh C-...at least he has a logo and theme.

12-Houston: (13-17, 243.1, 14)
Well look at that, LABeat climbed out the cellar for a few weeks. Not for long if Ceej has anything to say about it. Yet catching CHI:ESL with a 7 game deficit is a tall order to predict. Maybe he should focus on getting to .500 first. Robe can show you how.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/ec050d137fd3fcc4d2af2c22981fcea6.jpg
A..if this logo had some wording, I'd give it an A+ but it's perfect for this team.

13-Motor City: (12-18, 253.4, 11)
4W's in a row. Not sucking again? Yay? I can't call it with this team. Ceej, just pass LABeat in the standings again and I'll consider your season a success.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/227ddf028abaaa7581640724553dd408.jpg
Eh...a blimp level shot of Detroit? D+ (and the D is for Detroit!)

14-Washington: (11-19, 251.6, 13)
There are currently 14 G's/GF's with a higher FPPG than Kyrie and 18 (that matter) with a higher FPPM. Yo Basa...how that 20&10 working out for you?

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/cd8f734612bb206bb9ff5f85bf99c0b0.jpg
He may have oversold on the drafting of Live Like...but he nailed the logo. Funniest team name/logo combo. No wording hurts him tho: A-

15-Springfield: (10-20, 233.4, 12)
I'm jealous he got to Henson right when Skiles gets canned but with his team struggling he has to be worried about the Fat John Wall Pics floating around.

No Logo = LAME DUCK CHAMP!

16-Brooklyn: (5-25, 226, 16)
Damn...Damn...Daaaaaaaamn!!! Boogs' season is doomed if he doesn't at least go 15-17 to wrap the season. Might could catch Basa or Ernie with 20 wins.

Logo: http://hoops.sports.ws/media/team/69d9d558c44ed9215dd574e2473ed6c9.jpg
Second funniest logo to me...Boho Crips...Bynum being one. Yup, good work B+

RACE WAR:

After two brutal 7-1 game day slayings of the Negro's, the plantation owners lead 37-27. Uh huh...Cenario begged for the race war...well now ya'll got it!!!

On another note...some positive news about Sports.ws...it's been sold. Here's a press release from the buyer posted on the WS FB page. Below that I've placed a link by the creator on the history of the site. Hopefully this brings about the administrative support and idea/game play development we've been craving for a few yrs now. I'm just wondering will it come at cost now lol:

"Hey guys, big news out of Sports.ws this week. Although there's plenty of information to come in the next few days and weeks, I can tell you off the bat that Sports.ws has been sold to the online news publication The Good Point.

My name is Austin Kent, the Editor-in-Chief of TheGP and a long-time Sports.ws user. We're a credentialed general sports publication in Canada and have had the luxury of being able to interview some of professional sport's top personalities: from George Gervin, Josh Smith and Tracy McGrady to Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols and Ryan Braun.

I can't wait to see what lies in store for this marriage and I'm sure I can speak for most users who've ever used the site in saying that Patrick Butler and the outgoing staff have assembled the most engaging fantasy sports interface on the internet. It's an honour to take the reins and think of new ways to complement what's been such a major part of my life over the course of the past decade.

It'll be a learning process for everybody involved, but do know that 2013 will be a big year for all of us. Feel free to contact me with any questions at my personal address (akent@thegoodpoint.com) or just check out our Twitter feed @TheGoodPoint, Facebook page or the website itself:

Hi.

http://i.imgur.com/vPqCzVU.jpg

Wizards owner Ted Leonsis wrote on his personal blog that he hopes to have all of his players available for the first time this season on Saturday.

This would seem to indicate that Wall is tentatively targeting a debut on Saturday, but that's not a certainty. We should learn more of his status in the coming days, and even if Wall doesn't play on Saturday, he's clearly inching toward his return.

____________

My boys have pulled it back together a bit since, especially Monroe. He went through a DREADFUL streak. And David Lee dropped a .2 FPPM in there somewhere. Sigh.

At least Cenario's team has slumped too.

"though time has passed, im still the future" (c) black thought

Frank woulda def be in 1st place if he was playing boogs and basa. My team woulda been losing to celerys squad without varajeo.

Andy back maybe I can still fight for my div?

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Wall seems to be close and you'd think one of my 200 moves would work out eventually. Henson could be that one. I've completely written off Bogut. That's an L for sure. Should be able to get back to the 250+ range very soon tho. Baby steps.

ersan's actually jumped his average up 3/10 of point per minute since i picked him up but he ain't even seeing 20 EVERY night off the bench.

poor udoh and gooden.

hope this shit continues.

John Wall (knee) is practicing in full on Wednesday and reported no pain or soreness, and he is targeting a debut on Saturday.
Wizards owner Ted Leonsis hinted that Wall was targeting a Saturday debut, and that certainly seems to be the case as Wall has really ramped it up this week. We'll bring you updates between now and Saturday, but it looks like Wall appears primed to return in just a matter of days. He should be owned in every fantasy format.

Good read on the history of it, thanks AB

----

For leagues that draft, 99% of mainstream sites steer you towards doing them live, over just a few hours. I�d argue half the fun of a league is in the draft. It�s the one time of the year when everybody is equal, where anybody can win the championship. I�ve done live drafts, and they�re great, but why not at least offer the option to not rush bad picks? To make more trades mid-draft? To not force someone that can�t make it to choose auto-draft? Let leagues customize how they draft players.
