The odds were stacked against Team SneakerNews in Week 3 of the FLuD Watches “Barksdale & Bell” fantasy basketball league. It was bad enough that we had a short bench already, but some unfortunate NBA scheduling also left us with significantly less games than our opponent over the course of the week. Despite the obstacles, Team SN kept it within reach all week and were lucky enough to come away with a respectable 4-4-1 tie against the FLuD Umlauts, thanks especially to some missed Hakim Warrick free throws late on Sunday. The squad is getting a little healthier and we’ll be looking to stay unbeaten as we take on the guys from IM King. Check out our current standings and roster after the jump and we’ll keep you posted on our path to fantasy glory.
TEAM SNEAKERNEWS WEEK 3 MVP
Amar’e Stoudemire – While it didn’t help the Knicks win too many games this week, our first round pick (11th overall), Amar’e is finally starting to put up the kind of numbers we expected from him. This week, Stat averaged just under 23 points and 8 boards with 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks providing some nice across the board production.
