I have never tried roto basketball- anyone interested in a friendly league? It might make the NBA season slightly interesting.

I hate basketball in all forms other than me playing in a pickup game with other inept white men. Especially the NBA.

Maybe just for a chuckle. I hate the goddamn NBA, but at least this would give me another non work related thing to do at work.

Yeah, I'm down (WTF? You guys like Baseball, but not Basketball?).
I think the NBA is looking to be a hell of a lot better this year than in the past few (lots of new blood, and trades galore), and much more competitive than in the early 90's (Jordan can get a little boring, y'know?). The East is still in the dumps though (they should move the T'Wolves).

I'm game if you'll have me.
I'm not a fan of the NBA, stopped watching after NBA Jam came out for my Sega Gensis. I still get regular updates from my bud who is obsessed w/ the Sun so I might make a title bid.
Or I could pick all Eastern Europeans for teh win!
Edit: it's Europe. Not Eurpe.

I would instead go for either players who have done jail time or are likely to do jail time sometime during the season...
You'll have a wider selection to choose from.
I'm in as well and also have limited NBA knowledge outside of the Cavs.

Dibs on Lebron. He's the only guy in the league I can actually like.

I ran a league for 6 years in a time before they were available on the Web. What I created was a bastardized version of Rotisserie baseball adapted to the NBA (10 categories scored 1-10, high total points won). If you have any interest in the NBA at all, it's a good way to keep up on the players, trends, and bit players.
I'm not sure if they still do it, but USA today used to publish a weekly stat sheet for the NBA in every Tuesday edition. Picking up the last sheet from the previous year was often a great tool for drafting in the next season. Once you had this, knew the impact trades and the current rookie class, you were good to go.
If you put together a league, I'd be interested... Any thoughts on the host, format, and whether or not it will be a keeper league?

Yes they are automated and can be done in different formats. Head to Head, Rotisserie, etc. The best free site available is yahoo, the link is below: http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nbaAfter someone makes a league, to join you need a yahoo account and know the league # and password. I play every year and have to say its fun if your willing to spend the time, games are played almost everyday and unless you do only lineup changes once a week it can take a slight amount of time changing lineups. |
One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continuously stating and repeating the very very obvious, as in It's a nice day, or You're very tall, or Oh dear you seem to have fallen down a thirty-foot well, are you all right?
