Fantasy Basketball?

[Fistandantilus]

So I was thinking with the popularity of sports and fantasy games on here that maybe we could try one for basketball this year. It's a lot different from football (more strategic in a way) but looks pretty fun still. Don't necessarily need in depth knowledge of basketball or fantasy basketball but really don't want people who will quit partway through the season. Was probably going to do it through Yahoo since that is what I'm most comfortable with but if someone really wants a different site that is probably fine. 10 or 12 man league would be preferable but we'll see.

So far we have:
Fistandantilus
Mizango
Real life friend of mine
Akiyama
Octopus
Sekaran
Recuperi
Volcanicweather
Plow
Bearsan
Ryany (Tentative)

So if you want in just say so, hopefully we can get some interest.

[octopus]

I'll do it ;o

[Akiyama]

Awesome. Needs moar people. I'm a Fantasy Basketball nub. I think we all would be.

[sekaran]

Sign me up.

[Fistandantilus]

Ok added the names of you two, come on we still need more people!

[Deejay]

i'd play but updating rosters is a royal pain in the ass. You have to check it like every day. >_>

[recuperi]

I could do it I suppose, assuming draft day is convenient etc

[Fistandantilus]

Or you can just set it at the beginning of each week, since barring injury the schedules don't change lol.

I'm still thinking about it. I pretty much quit watching the NBA when Reggie Miller retired. The latest scandal *cough*coverup*cough* made me even less likely to watch. I guess it all depends on how much time I need to spend updating rosters and if enough people want in. If the league is still needing a few more to have enough people before whenever the draft is, I'll join. If a bunch of people line up wanting in, I'll let someone else have the spot.

I've only done it once before so I can't say with 100% certainty, but it does seem to take a bit more updating rosters than football. You have to field a full starting lineup each night, but then again at the beginning of the week it's pretty easy to just look at what nights each of your guys plays and make sure that you have all your positions filled for each night.

I'll take a team, feel free to send me the link to the league via PM

[Fistandantilus]

I haven't made the league yet, I wanted to make sure there was some interest.

[octopus]

Yeah, if you can make it so that the rosters are set weekly, that will probably be better :D

[Fistandantilus]

We can do that I guess, but I thought it would be better to just have it daily since otherwise it goes from the better player to who plays the most games that week. Setting your starters for the week isn't really that hard but whatever most people prefer is fine.

[recuperi]

With Yahoo, you should be able to go in at the start of the week and just go day by day which guys you want playing ahead of time anyway. I know that's how they do fantasy football at least. I went through and set all my tentative lineups for the whole season in one league already

This is what I meant, in case I was unclear before.

[Akiyama]

You should join us, rec.

[recuperi]

was already on the list

[Plow]

I'll give it a shot, but I'll suck.


Celtics GOIN TO THE SUPER BOWL

Yeah I don't think any of us will be experts or be as good as we are with football but whatever it is just for fun. I found some decent articles on http://www.fantasybasketball.com/ and Yahoo seems to have some decent strategies as well. I think if we have enough people I'll try to do the draft sometime this week or this weekend, and will be doing a head-to-head league unless people really want Roto (I can explain the differences and we can vote if you guys want)
