Sing along if you know the words.
The league offices of the Sonics Bruising League wish all of you a very Scrappy New Year! May you continue to play the game the way we all know and love. May you resolve to play harder, nastier, and scrappier than you have before.
As for the results of this last week, the matchup we had all been waiting for certainly did not disappoint. The Frozen Envelope squared off against Team Catdawg. They both came into the week with eight victories and no losses. They fought it out all week. They bruised each other. They bloodied each other. It was close throughout the contest. But it was the Frozen Ones who pulled away over the weekend to eek out a tough victory.
For the rest of the contests, bandages and ice packs abounded.

BAD BOY BONUSES
Matt Barnes Fined
He was just enjoying the scenery. He didn't want to leave. Unfortunately, he'd just been ejected from the game and the NBA took offense at that. Team Catdawg was the beneficiary with 15 bonus points. Here is the league statement:
NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2013 - Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes has been fined $25,000 for failing to leave the court in a timely manner upon his ejection, it was announced today by Rod Thorn, President, Basketball Operations.
The incident, which was called a Flagrant Foul 2 on the floor and downgraded to a Flagrant Foul 1 upon league office review, occurred with 56.8 remaining in the third quarter of the Clippers' 120-116 OT victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday Dec. 22, at Staples Center.
Paul Pierce Fined
Excessive and unnecessary contact? Could be interpreted so many ways. Whatever the interpretation, Da Double Techs earned a 15-point bump. The NBA states the following:
NEW YORK, Dec. 24, 2013 - Brooklyn Nets forward Paul Pierce has been fined $15,000 for making excessive and unnecessary contact with George Hill of the Indiana Pacers, it was announced today by Rod Thorn, President, Basketball Operations.
