 Who will win the ugliest fantasy matchup of the year?

Yes, the season is early - but I really doubt any one will have a more pathetic matchup than the one involving myself and Creek! (Officer Shaq MBPD). Just like the Atlanta versus Toronto game, two crappy teams battling it out actually results in an exciting matchup! Unfortunately, this is embarrassing and just goes to show how both of us have teams that are destined to be sucky all year long. Yes, these two GM's were involved in "The Kobe Trade," but from the looks of things - neither of us would be having a great week regardless of the fact that we executed that trade over a week ago.

Just how bad is this matchup? First, you should review the following breakdown of our week thus far (click on the image to enlarge)


The crappyness of my team is hard to comprehend.
I have 4 players that are either injured, or playing hurt (Artest, Terry, Chandler, and Foster). I also have two PG's who have been demoted to the bench (Head and MoWill). On top of this, my model of consistency that I have relied on all year has only 2 games this week (Prince). Last, I have a one-dimentional 20 year old SG from NOK (I wont name names) that is not doing very well. And yet, I am winning 5-4 so far this week.

Just how bad is Creek's team?
His frontcourt is almost as pathetic as mine (actually, I think it is doing worse). His 6 frontcourt players have combined for 11 blocks on what must be 30% shooting (Sweetney, Gooden, PJ Brown, Perkins, Ely, and West). A couple of of his players are celebrating Christmas early by giving their oppoents easy access to the ball in the form of massive turnovers (Gordon, Wells). But, in a twist of irony, Kobe is a stud for FG% so far this week.

But, look at our combined FT%. When two separate groups of fantasy players can combine to shoot around 68% from the free throw line, you know you have 2 groups of fantasy losers. Our combined 3pm and block totals would probably still place us at the back end of the league compared to our opponents.
