Hey, Ladies!!!!

What's happening, fellows? This NBA offseason has been as crazy as ever, what with the Celtics poised to return to some measure of glory, the referee score-fixing scandal, Stephon Marbury going on about how he happily screws MSG interns in his SUV, and Greg Oden being introduced to us and then unceremoniously shelved for the season after microfracture surgery. Sigh. As one close friend of mine recently put it, it's as though Eddie Griffin's tragic passing in an August car accident was somehow allegorical. A crazy offseason indeed, which only promises further craziness once the season gets under way.

Our man Shane "shaman" Moore has taken the initiative to set something up at NBA.com's fantasy station:

http://www.nba.com/fantasy/

The game is called NBA Ultimate Fantasy Commissioner, and I have to admit that on the face of things it looks like it kicks ass. It's apparently "fully customizable" and free. I wonder if shaman has taken any liberties with the customization.... and if not, whether he should. Here's some of the features they indicate on the site:

FREE Keeper Leagues (Private only)
Rotisserie, Points-Based or Head-to-Head
Free Live Scoring
Five draft types, including Live and E-mail
Fully customizable rosters and scoring
Co-Owner option
Six waiver types, including Auction

"Auction"?? I even read someplace that we can even trade picks? That sounds far out. I wanna hear it from the mouth of shaman, whom I hope will soon be posting here, along with all y'all.

Bottom line: let's bring it in and discuss, fellas. And once we've determined everything is in order.... well, we all know it helps to have everyone signed up well in advance of the draft, right?

Shaman has set the following up, FYI:

League Name: Serious Playas at NBA.com
League Password: presidio

You can sign in here: http://ufc2.nba.com/signup/nba/invite_league.asp?product=351&league=37673

Hey, shaman, any word on the featrures? Is there anything to discuss, or have you already set-up the league for maximum mayhem?!?!?!

One love,
MA

P.S. I'm gonna have to change my handle this year, mix it up a bit. Don't be concerned if you don't see the Concatenation signed up for the league, I'll be aboard 100%.
