Yes I will play. I am about 99% certain of it - maybe more.

We would love to have both dba and yourself play. You fellas will have a blast because you both like looking at the minutae of stats and performance. Fantasy sports is pretty much the superbowl for fans who are pseudo-intellectuals.

Re: Will you play PF fantasy next year?

Not at all. I'm not promising that if you are a sports geek you will do well, just that Fantasy Basketball is so engrossing. You watch stats, you watch your players. You watch the players you want on other teams or are in free agency. You watch the schedule. When you are in a tight weekly battle, you start analyzing who to play, how they play on Saturdays, on a back to back, traditionally against that opponent.

It's really pretty wild how "into it" you can get (or not). And all of that obsessing doesn't necessarily help you win, but you do it anyways because we are all closet GMs with micromanagerial tendencies.

Trust me. It's fun. I finished 9th this year, and playing with friends in 05, I finished 11th. But I still like to play, because Bonzi Wells should be playing with Jason Kidd, Eddy Curry, Mo Pete and Zaza Pachulia for the Sandwich Microwaves.

I'll probably play again it was fun and it made me more in tune with what other players were doing even more than past years of just watching the NBA.

And that is why it is such a good fit for a forum like this. It's nice to be able to discuss more than the Pistons because at times, they are terribly boring. Boringly good.

My only complaint is that total points should count for twice as much as any other stat. Steals, boards, To's do not always result in a score. Lets say they do 50% of the time and do away with the 3-pt col altogether since you already get credit for the 3 points under total points. I actually used that to stock up on 3-pt shooters since you get double credit for each 3-pt made. Although it will decrease your FG%.

Simply mutliplying total points by 2 should balance things out.

Maybe Yahoo can look into this?
