Fantasy Basketball

[bostonsportsfan]

Hey guys,

With NBA training camps just underway, is anyone interested in playing in a Fantasy Basketball league? If you are, lemme know and I'll make the league.

Thanks-
Sean

I'm interested. Where would we host the league?

[bostonsportsfan]

Probably on Yahoo, unless anyone knows of a better host.

If we are using Yahoo!, MAKE THE LEAGUE IMMEDIATELY so that you can get a GOOD time for the draft!!! (e.g.: Saturday/Sunday evening/afternoon)[/b]... otherwise, you hafta go mid-week which is usually not good for most people.


BTW, I'm in :)

Yahoo hasn't opened Fantasy B-Ball yet, but as soon as they do, I'll have the league set up.

I'll be in it

I'm definitely in, too, and I would be also willing to commish it. Definitely Y!, too.

Yahoo still hasn't started fantasy ball yet. Hopefully it'll be up soon.

Is it possible to have co-commissioners?

Sean, if you start a new thread with this info, I will make it "Sticky" and give it the 'Important' label and also give it some front page promotion. Afraid it won't get much attention stuffed inside this thread!

Afraid it won't get much attention stuffed inside this thread! WTF!??!!!!!?????!!!!???..... You'll give a basketball league some "front page promotion (because) it won't get much attention stuffed inside this thread," but you won't do that for a hockey league!????????????

It's an unfair world, isnt it, Lee? :D

Honestly, Lee, it was a pure, unintentional coincidence. I simply never really thought of doing the extra "promotion" for the SC leagues before this one. It's not like I purposely tried to avoid the hockey league - I mean, I did the same for the football one, and you know me, I like football, I wouldn't do that. That's all.
