Welcome to the 2008-2009 NBA season. Will the Celtics repeat? Will Starbury find a job? Will the Blazers actually be good, or will Oden's kneecaps fall off? Chris Paul or BronBron for MVP?
If anyone wants to make a fantasy league, I'll advertise it in the OP/title
I'm a tentative "yay" on the fantasy league, but I'm nervous I'm going to put too much on my plate and neglect it again. Count me as a strong reserve, though, if you fail to fill up the league.
Also -- Blazers will win 48 games. No more, no less. You heard it here first.
Anyway can we push the draft date back to sometime this weekend or maybe push it off until Wednesday at 5:15 (I have class at 5 Tuesday also) or later Monday (like 7PM PDT)?
If not, then cool i'll try to do the pre-draft rankings as best I can.
After inadvertently being poked in the eye by Boris Diaw in practice, [Amare] Stoudemire suffered a partially torn iris, an injury which, while relatively minor, has a high incidence of reaggravation. Consequently, team physicians are advising Amare to take precautionary measures.
Fortunately for fans of old-school fashion, that means there’s a good chance we’ll see STAT rocking goggles on a permanent basis.
I've never done a fantasy league before despite having watched basketball since before I could walk, so I have a question.
How many people should I put in my pre-draft rankings if I don't want my guys to be drafted according to their default rankings in the later rounds? I'm not going to able to reach a computer during the draft on Wednesday so from what I understand it's all going to be left up to my pre-draft rankings.
Do we even have 18 people who want to play? Right now there's 13 signed up.
I've played in an 18-team league before, and it's significantly harder than the standard 12-team setup. Picking the Lebrons and Kobes is easy, having a win or loss decided by Sasha Vujacic vs Chris Quinn not so much.

EDIT: nm, caps counts when typing the password, and it's lowercase (i.e. pa) rather than uppercase (i.e. PA)
also, i would submit that people need not bother joining as the sp00ns have thrown their lots in and the season is now a foregone conclusion
EDIT: Do I have to actually be on during the time the Draft happens? Because I for sure am going to be in class on Monday at 5:15.
Hopefully my draft turns out at lucky as it did last year. Paul #12, Camby #17, Granger #73, Kaman #96.
Oh, and if you're not online when the draft starts Yahoo will pick for you based on your pre-rankings.
Now that the Diamondbacks have bumbled out of any postseason glory, the Suns' season can't come soon enough.
Knicks Sign Allan Houston

Jason Williams Retires
Houston hasn't been in the league for 3 years. And Williams just signed as a free agent with the Clippers last month.

Manu out until mid-December

edit: Monday @ 5PM PDT I will be in lab.

Also season tickets to Blazers mmmm
Seriously? So jealous!
Well technically they belong to my father but he lives three hours away and won't be able to use them for every game
yessss
damn you....I won't be able to go to a game until late november.
Should be able to make it to the draft
The effect isn't complete unless he takes them off for FTs, though.

We have really shallow teams so we can afford to have more of them.

ps please kill me if I ever get Sasha on my team.
But seriously, we deserved to lose. Kobe is such a bitch and he didn't step up when we needed it. Best player in the league my ass.
that is all
