TEAM UPDATE:

Even though I've won eight - count 'em EIGHT - in a row, I cannot catch up to the top dogs, who are out pacing me.

I did pass His Majesty Morrissey and I'm locked into fighting Birdman this week. Can I do it?

In the words of President Obama - YES, I can.

B	Nene Hilario (DEN)

TEAM UPDATE:

The last two weeks have been solid for the Main Event. Blinded by the Dwight was the first real challenge my team has faced, and we came out on top 714-582. My top scorers were Josh Smith with a week total of 95 points and my numero uno Kobe with 90; way to be, Josh and Kobe.

If only Mark had turned on the “slaughter rule” feature at the start of the season; it would have saved him a considerable amount of embarrassment. The final score was the Majesty 732, Pippen Ain’t Easy 382; we nearly doubled their score. My big boy Nene from Colorado had 108 points through the week and Kobe had another stellar week, this time with 93 points.

Things seem to be clicking; even though we only have won two consecutive games, I have a feeling this is where things are going to really take off.

Team Name: Blinded by the Dwight

TEAM UPDATE:

During my holiday break, I seldom checked the fantasy web site, resulting in two straight losses. It is my fault, and I'm taking full responsibility for it.

As a result, I have fallen out of the playoff picture with the resurgence of Mr. Mancoff's team, but I plan to give a full-pledge effort to retain the fourth spot.

I need my man Dwight Howard to live up to his name and quit playing like Ms. Lopez out there.

Team Name: That's Birdman to You

B	Ben Wallace (DET)

TEAM UPDATE:

Despite losing to Eddie, we still know that he is not good at all. With Carmelo, Kevin Martin, Jose Calderon injured, it's a wonder how we managed to win one out of two games over break.

I'm not going to lie. It did hurt to lose to a kid who mispronounced Amare Stoudemire's name and thought his point guard was a Utah Jazz guard name Deron Walker rather than Deron Williams.

At 9-2, we're still in good position to make the playoffs.
