Welcome to the semis! Hopefully your week 1 matchup of the playoffs didn't go as badly as most of mine... And with a mix of my awful bracket in the Razzball Bracket Challenge, who's ready for baseball season?! Haha, I keed, I'm still alive in a few leagues and still have my-Heels-as-champ pick alive and well.
And just like the Hoosiers - one of virtually all the teams in the Sweet Sixteen I got wrong - Victor Oladipo went ham over the weekend, including living up the RainbOladipo nickname for 45/5/3/3/2 against the Cavs Friday night. Shot an unreal 16-22 FG including banging 6 treys. With a game like that, I would've expected the Magic to BEAT the Cavs! But then again, they're coached by Scott Skiles... SKIIIIIIIILES! Oladipo kept it up last night for 21/6/3/0/2, giving him 7 straight games with blocks and multi-blocks in the last 4. Better shot blocker than Serge right now! In per-game, Oladipo is still only ranked 45th (42nd in total) according to BBMonster, so he's still finishing right at my pre-season rank. If only this team was coached by someone else, I would be going Eric Bledsoe-nuts for this guy in my 16-17 ranks. Scott Skiles - ruining basketball one player at a time... Here's what else went down over the weekend in fantasy hoops action, plus The 7 Ahead for week 20 and the semi-finals of standard league H2H playoffs:
