Friends in fast breaks,

Oof. Riding against the bad teams bit us this week. Be honest - How many of us had "two extreme losing streaks getting snapped against two playoff contenders?" Nobody? Bueller? Bueller?

RESULTS SUMMARY

Points One-And-Done

• Top Scorer: J. Brunson with a scorching 50 points
• Just behind: L. Doncic and K. Towns both with 40, T. Young with 38, and S. Curry and A. Edwards with 37 each
• Points per pick: 26.6
• Biggest disappointments: T. Haliburton with 19 points for 76 pickers, C. Cunningham with 4 points, B. Beal with 6 and another serious injury
• Big respect: The LONE picker on D. Vassell collecting 36 points
• DNPs
  • 69 total DNPs, with 6 double DNPs fetching zero points
  • We got burned by a surprise DNP from D. Fox for 45 pickers
• REMINDER: Interval 2 has started! Overall totals will keep accumulating, but we've got another set of prizes for picks from Weeks 8-16

Survivor #1

• 62 incorrect picks this week, driven by IND (28 picks) and LAL (20)
• Like I mentioned above - They both lost to the (formerly) losing-streaking Spurs and Wizards
• But thanks to the beauty of double elimination - We only lost 34 players
• That leaves us with 177 / 342 alive (51.2%)

All 30 One-And-Done

• 72 incorrect picks this week, leading to a 65.2% win rate
• That's juuuuust a little better than our lows for the season in W1 and W3
• IND was our big loss again for 37 pickers, followed by LAL with 16 and PHX with 7
• We've down to 30 players tied for first with a 7-0 record. Reminder that the NFL's All 32 Pool lasted through 11 weeks and 18 total picks with perfect records. We don't start double picks until Week 19, so we'll see if anyone can last until then staying unbeaten.

Yours in Roundball Rock,
The GM
