Draft is set for Sunday Night at 8:00 pm (EST). If somebody really wants to join but the draft time does not work, please post. Not sure if I can change that, but could try.

Basic Head to Head Weekly Categories League
9 Categories

 

[jncuse]

Currently set up for 12 teams, but can add more or less I believe.

I can also change some settings right now, so if there are things you want changed let me know.

Otto - I kept the allowable weekly transactions at 4 which was the default setting. So it is not "1" as I initially proposed.

 

[jncuse]

We now have 2 members, and I know 3 others have said they would probably join. There must be a few Clippers fans that want to kick my ass!

I would like to get at least 8 people in the draft -- otherwise would probably make sense to push it aside for this year.

 

[MikeSU02]

jncuse I'm in. "Maggie's Tavern" team name.

RIP to my old favorite bar.

 

[jncuse]

Thanks MikeSU. Hopefully we can get a few others today.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm in.

I'm "Marek's Smokes."

 

[jncuse]

Thanks Otto.

Hopefully we can get 4 more.

To all those currently in the league -- I noted I made a mistake. I went with a fairly standard 9 category league, except I made a mistake on the 3 point category. Wanted to select 3 pointers made (which is the standard), but accidentally selected 3 point %. I am having a hard time making the change.
PTS
REB
STL
AST
BLK
TO
FG%
FT%
3PT%

2 questions:
1) What is your preference on the 3 point category (% or # Made). I am fairly indifferent on it -- everybody shoots 3's now, so I can see the value in % rather than makes.
2) If you want the "# made" would you all be OK to sign up for a new league (since there is only 4)

Looks like we will shortly be up to 5

Kaiser is still a possibility although I have not heard from him.

I would say to those that joined, if you have a friend that might be interested please feel free to share with one outsider.

Free and hope you join.

I signed up this morning. Looking forward to it.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Free and hope you join.

Alright means I gotta download yahoo. I usually play on espn.

Not sure if you've ever done Yahoo but fwiw I like Yahoo over ESPN and the others for fantasy.

I usually use three pointers made, but I'm fine with % as well.

Now up to 7 which is good. Hopefully we can squeeze out a few more.
If no one else signs up, apparently Yahoo drafts a "dummy" team to even the numbers in the league.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I joined.

I also prefer 3pt made but whatever it’s free LOL. I assume there is a min for attempts.

Post this on the main board to see if it gets action. We could for sure fill this to 12. Easily.

Thanks, good idea.

 

[jncuse]

FYI to all - I was able to find a way to edit the league settings such that we are now using 3 pointers made instead of 3pt%.

I've resisted my entire life to play fantasy due to not wanting to root for guys that I don't want to do well. I'm old school and after reviewing the 2020-2021 fantasy rankings my hatred still burns deep. I don't think i would put a good roster together of the guys I want so I'm out.

Hating your team is part of the joy.

How many guys do you have on that list? That seems like a lot of hate / dislike!!
You are always welcome to change your mind up to Sunday.

I don't think I have done fantasy basketball (or any fantasy league) since 2014, but thought this might be a quiet winter.

Give it a shot. Especially since for free. Fantasy gives you Extra reason to care about the current nba. Honestly there isn’t a better way to keep up with it. Keeps you tuned in to almost every team.

Thanks to Guy Fawkes for joining and making it 8.
That is enough for a decent league experience.
That being said hope we can get it to 12 by Sunday.
