Booker has been an absolute terror lately with 2 40 point performances and a 62 point performance it's hard to think anyone would be able to top this incredible feat of offense. If only there was a younger, chunkier, more European point guard who could muster up such wild offense while exceeding Book's paltry 3 assists per game. That man would surely be Bookers Father.

Well straight out of Slovenia, a country that most Google image maps place in the Balkans came a guard who's not afraid of taking 33 shot attempts on their way to a 73 point performance with 8 treball, 10 rebounds and 7 seven assists. Following that up with a 17 assist triple double. Even against the hawks and the kings those are very impressive lines. It was a crazy week for offense last week and this was the line that ruled them all. So with another one in the bank we congratulate Luka Doncic with his second bread and butter pick of the week of the season!

Have you ever noticed that players have career games when playing the Wizards? Thats easy enough but how many players have the gas in the tank after playing 2 title contenders in the 76ers and the Celtics? Despite fighting allegations of being a 'Fat Sloppy boy' this Denver centerman continues to evolve the game shifting from massive assist numbers to soul crushing boards combined with unimaginable efficiency. His 65% on 20 attempts per game, which is good for 3rd in the league above 10 fta combined with the second highest rebounds per game. Not to forget his roots though he's still cruising to nearly seven assists per game despite Pat Bev's best efforts to lock down the nuggets. Nikola Jokic has seen a massive increase in shots per game which has somehow boosted his draft stock from 1 to 1++.

Day in day out Jokic has been out there doing it for the horses and for that we are proud to declare him the week 13 bread and butter pick of the week,

Sometimes the universe aligns and the twelfth pick rises on the twelfth week. Last week was a tragic week for so many rosters as the injury bug ravaged the league. With the number of player games missed reached it peak it provided lots of run for those who remained. Granted extra possession due to the absense of his ball dominant back court partner we saw an amazing run of 38 ppg over the course of the week while smacking down 4 3pointers a game. This was in addtion to extremely efficient free throw shooting at double his seasonal rate. Sprinkle in 1.5 extra assists per game and we got a pickle brewing.

Since a tumultuous last few seasons our "Enlightened Warror" has stayed away from controvery aside from signing an apparel contract with a chinese brand linked to forced labor. Could this be the opening of a new chapter for Uncle Drew? Either way we are whelmed to declair Kyrie Irving the bread and butter pick of the week

Defence is overrated. This has been the maxim of the Indiana Pacers all season. Modelling their play after the Atlanta Hawks but sucessful. The pacers have been setting a blistering pace of 126 points for (and 124 against) . This is due tohaving the highest effective field goal percentage in the league, so much so that the gap between them and the 2nd place Thunder is equivalent to the gap between the thunder and the 13th placed Knicks. Is this sustainable? Who knows, but it sure is fun.

This week the Pacers court visionary has been improving on a true breakout season. First he didn't miss a free throw in 4 games and doubled both his Steal and block rate. This was capped off with 12 ast to 2 TO per game and a minor increase in rebounds. This was more than enough to make up for a drop in points and 3s per game. It is with Great honor I crown my boy Tyrese Haliburton Bread and butter pick of the week.

As the year drew to a close not all things could last forever, be it the Piston's losing streak, Precious Achiuwa's playing time or even the big men snagging all the pickles. After much patience we have had a guard rise above the perimeter and remind us of the reason for the season

When a man goes 50/6/15 with 8 3s, 4 blocks and 3 blocks on Christmas day, you just know that pickles in the bag. Followed by a pair modest 39 point showings, and atypical free throw shooting of 26/29 we are seeing just what it takes to displace the big men that have been taking top honors this season. It is with great joy we declare that Luka Doncic is our father Christmas and week 10 bread and butter pick of the week.

With the Yule season approaching we all sit around warming ourselves on the dumpster fire that is the Detroit Pistons and reflect on the passing year. Reflecting on when big men didn't casually get 2 blocks per game while scoring 30+ or when a player was getting 11 FT attempts a game he wasn't making 95% of them.

Well that's all in the past because we are in the multi cat, aspiring multi mvp era of basketball. Previously chided for pulling dominant stats against bottom feeders, the big man in Philly dropped 51 points against the timberwolves, the top team in the western division. He's continued his warpath with averages of 40/12/6 while keeping pitching in a blocks per game and 1.5 steals.

At this point i'm running out of things to say so here he is as the founder of Springfield. And with his perfectly cromulent play this week we are proud to declare Joel Embiid the first 3 time bread and butter Pick of the week of the season.

We are returning a temporary Hiatus due to the NBA designing a new format putting the championchip in December (take notice leafs fans.)

After a pretty easy schedule of only 2 games last week the 76ers were treated to an even easier schedule with matchups vs the Wizards, Pistons, Pistons and Hornets who boast a combined record of 13-62. Hell, Atlanta has been the best team they've played all December. Philly knew they had this in the bag as they could rely on the one person who absolutely excells in meaningless games.

Averaging 38 points on less than 30 minutes per game while missing a single free throw out of 38. While making sure to snatch 10 rebounds or more. All the while just coming in under both 2 blocks and 2 steals a game.

This has been the most dominant week we've seen all season and as such we are proud to announce Joel Embiid as the Week 8 Bread and Butter pick of the week.

Can you believe the In Season Tournament is well underway into the knockout round, janking up scheduling and causing people to pay attention the pacers. As advance warning due to all teams playing 2 games this week no players meet the standard pickle criteria.

Big men get big numbers, and when you shooting at 70% while pulling 8 steals and 10 blocks in a week there is noone capable of matching that production. With a sheet of 4 games over the last week we've seen a pair of crown jewels in 32 point triple double, and 26/14/5 with 7 Steals + Blocks alongside an "improvement" to become a 70% free throw shooter.

Wishing him all the luck in the IST we are proud to declare Giannis Antetokounmpo the Week 6 Bread and butter pick of the week.

On October 31, 2023 this player was fined for repeatedly making an obscene gesture and was fined $35,000. Based on the lastest conversion rates this would be able to purchase 6099 Big Marys (tax included). That many sandwiches would contain a whopping 4kg of salt.

Outside the drive-through this player has been following up on a mvp quality season averaging 32 points 11 rebounds and 6 assists. This has been enough to have him in the running for the top spot several weeks but like my blood pressure he had to elevate to hit that next level. The elevation came this week by hitting 10 blocks a 50% from his season average and a 100% increase from his mvp season.

It is with great honor we crown Joel Embiid the Week 5 bread and butter Pick of the week!

Phoenix Arizona located in the northeastern region of the Sonoran Desert is the home over 40 species of snake. These include the Arizona Milk Snake, Coachwhip Snake and 12 species of rattlesnake. Well this player is a known coach whipper who must drink lots of milk to keep them bones in tip-top shape.

After a calm off season not destroying a franchise (the Wizards don't count), this forward has been the only healthy star on his squad. This additional demand is apparently not the hardest road as he's been pushing north of 30 ppg on 20 shot attempts, numbers not seen since their 2013-14 season. However, with the load finally decreasing he had had the opportunity to properly stuff the statsheet. Lead by a flawless 16/16 on free throws and shooting 63% from the field on 21 attempts has resulted in buckets. Averaging 35/7/8 a night for the suns culminating in a 39 point double-double with a pair of blocks and steals.

As he apparently can win 9-cat Kevin Durant is the Week 4 Bread and butter pick of the week.
