The Octuplet Register

As you'll notice if you look to the right, there are some new/updated features on the blog. After the smashing success of the Classic Soul Jam of the Week over on the Lassard blog, I've added a Classic Hip Hop Jam of the Week to the Faculty of Letters. Enjoy some early 90's rap with your fantasy basketball reading.
Below the Jam of the Week you'll find that I've begun the Octuplet Register for this season. I'm going back through the scoreboards to get them from the full season, but it takes a while so I'll be going month by month. Today's update includes October and November, and in case you don't feel like reading through a hundred individual box scores, here is some summary:

Team Octuplet Rankings (as of November 30th):
1) Barbara Streisand - 16
2) Hip To Be Clip - 15

6-t) Uno Dos 3 - 9
Browless Wonders - 9
8) I'm Optimus Prime - 7

*Interestingly, last year's Octuplet leaders Kevin Durant and LeBron James are nowhere to be found on the leaderboard. James had two in the first month, and Durant had only one. Could this be the year that Danny Granger stays healthy and claims the crown?

*Felton and Mayo like their octuplets in bunches, with Felton registering four in a five-game stretch between November 16th and 23rd, and Mayo accomplishing the same feat between October 29th and November 5th.

*My favorite Octo of the month? Well, there were no Super Duper Octuplets (a double-double, at least two in each of the other volume cats, and .400/.800 percentage minimums), but Felton's line on November 19th comes close: 35 points on 13-of-17 shooting, 5 of 6 from the stripe, 11 assists, 5 boards, 4 steals and a block. One more block and that's a Super-Duper. We'll ignore the fact that it came in a Knicks-Warriors game, where probably any player with more than 30 minutes in the game is a solid octuplet candidate.

*The least impressive? Probably Ben Gordon's performance from November 9th, when he scored a mere eight points with one three, two boards, one assist, two steals, and one block. Really close to the absolute bare minimum of an octuplet there, Ben. I do appreciate the palindromic quality of the line though with that 1-2-1-2-1 in there. Sounds like a killer indoor soccer formation, too.
