NBA SSR Fantasy League Week 21

Week 20 Breakdown:

Last week's #1 & #2 seeds (Honey Badgers & Slumdog Trillionaire) both sneaked away with 5-4 victories over Emotional Beefcakes & Linnept at Winning. However the overall #3 seed, Wow such doge, was defeated in an upset by then #7 seed LFE crav'n dat Curry. This lost caused Wow such doge to lose the division lead in House Lannister. The victory for LFE crav'n dat Curry moves him from 7th to 4th, while the loss for Wow such doge only drops him from 3rd to 5th. In another upset from the tightly packed House Martell, then 8th seed Dinkers and Dumpers took down then 5th seed Master Chucker 6-3. The victory moved Dinkers and Dumpers from 8th to 7th, while the loss for Master Chucker dropped him all the way to 8th place. The Lazy Aces put a 7-1 beating down on NY REC TH1S, which made the gap between 8th place and 9th place even larger. The current #9 seed, Horriballers II (who beat From Russia w/ Love 5-4) is now 7.5 games back of 8th place. Last week's 4th place team, PoP goes the Beasle, defeated Alley Oops with God 6-3, which jumped him up into 3rd place. And in the P.O.S. bowl, Django defeated JAVALE McGEE P.O.S. 6-3.

After last week, the playoff teams seem to be set. It would almost take a miracle for 9th place Horriballers II to get in at this point. However, besides for the #1 & #2 seeds, the rest of the playoff seeds are up for grabs. 3rd place to 8th place is only separated by 3 games!!! Which should make for an exciting final week and some nice potential playoff match-ups. Slumdog Trillionaire, PoP goes the Beasle & LFE crav'n dat Curry have joined Honey Badgers as teams that have officially locked in a playoff spot.
