Team SneakerNews continued on our strong start in our Week 2 matchup in the FLuD Watches “Barksdale & Bell” fantasy basketball league, putting a convincing 7-2 beatdown on the Rocksmith Ninjas. Led by standouts Josh Smith, Emeka Okafor and Monta Ellis, Team SN was able to come away with a dominating performance, but with every battle, there are bound to be some casualties. Over the course of the week, we lost two backcourt scoring weapons to injuries, as Aaron Brooks and Eric Gordon both went down, joining Antawn Jamison on our walking wounded list. With likely no bench this week, it will be a tough week of iron man hoops as we face off against league commissioner, the FLuD Umlauts. Apologies to Rocksmith for the fantasy pummeling last week, but as a consolation, we’re loving that new Wu-Tang line, so go out and support that here. Keep reading for a look at this week’s standings and current roster pics, and check back next week for the latest results.
