QFBA Rag – 2008-09 Season - Volume Three

Toro Toro Big Bad Bull

Cap takes the Whopper off the Meatadors menu and leaves them with only the dried up bargain burger. Here it is week three and Cap already has two of the weekly high scores. Considering that his opponent had the lowest score of the weak, it was kind of a wasted effort. The good news for the Cap is that he did it with a player he brought up from the D-League for the injured Smith. Coach Cap’n was also pleased to see rookie Rose continue to put up big numbers, pulling down 42 for the pirates.

The Meatheads got nice performances out of Butler and Duncan but I think I’d be looking to sit Mr. Locker Room Marion for, I don’t know, maybe ‘Sheed? Calderon’s 11 points after an early exit with a tight hamstring killed the Meaties but it’s not likely that even a healthy Jose would have been able to help them to a win. The good news is he appears to be okay for next week’s match up with the Jitzters.

Train Spews Load of Auto Parts

A week after Freight Train drops his load while playing by himself, he still has enough juice left to squirt past the Clutch. This one took until Friday to resolve while the Lonely Conductor waited for Durant to come off injury. When he did, his 29 was more than enough to shoot to the Dubya.

Clutch continues to suffer from inconsistent Center play. Miller and Gasol seem to be taking turns alternating good games and bad. If Coach Tobias could guess which one is going to have the good game on any given week, he might have more than one win. Of course, with guys like the rejuvenated Billups and Artest warming his bench, I think he’d be well advised to figure some way to package a player or two for a Center upgrade.

‘Bus Encouraged in Loss

What’s this world coming to when big bad scary Stincubus is reduced to playing for moral victories? The self-proclaimed Executive of the Year has been working the wires hard to turn his inherited team into a winner and has to be encouraged by the play of Garnett, O’Neal and Randolph. Rookie Mayo was a bit of a disappointment in his first QFBA start but with guys like the injured Ellis and D-Will both soon to be healthy, look for much improved guard play on this team.

Jitz was anchored by top rated C. Paul who pulled down 52, flanked by new comer Crawford’s 33, while Gasol had his best game of the year at 35.

Sucks to Be FNU

It’s always frustrating to be in the top half of the weekly scoring and still come up empty. Especially when it’s already happened to you once and the season is only three weeks old. Still, it could have been a lot worse for the Effen U’s if Superman hadn’t put up a monster 62. Damn that Disco Dave for grabbing Howard before Cap'n could.

Coach You-Can-Call-Me Jay-Dub told this reported that he would be off in the wilderness this week and unable to monitor his lineup. Apparently, getting the hapless coach out of their hair must have been just what the Dr. ordered because the Dubious Dubbers put up their season high score, just four points shy of the weekly high. Iverson led the way with 48 while Ming and Carter finally found their games this season with each putting up 36.
