Yahoo Basketball Fantasy League 2010-2011

Its our annual fantasy league and a quarter of a season is already brewing. I am participating in 2 sets of leagues, one is the Head to Head matchup, wherein I will be playing against another team manager on a weekly basis and we are being matched up based on certain statistics that players gets. Currently I am on 4th place from an 8 team league and I think that I will be able to make it to the playoffs (barring any injuries). And then there is the next league that I am part of, the ROTO league wherein I am at 3rd place. I was at number 1 until the end of 2010 but unfortunately some of my players had injuries that caused for my team to slid down to the 3rd spot, but as the saying goes, there is a lot of basketball left to be played.

My team's current standings in both leagues, a lot of basketball left :)

We have been playing this for around 3 years already and it is fun especially if you like watching basketball and into statistics of the game. Every season I always end up short towards the end but hopefully I can still catch up with the rest of the guys and be the champ this year. :) If you want to learn more about what Fantasy Basketball is all about you can visit the quick links on the right part of my blog page.

Destiny for Kobe?

It is the NBA finals between The Eastern Conference Champs, Orlando Magic vs The Western Conference Champs the Los Angeles Lakers. This is a series that was somehow unexpected, since majority of the viewers and avid NBA followers are rooting for a Lebron vs Kobe finals, meaning Cavs vs Lakers, but that didn't happen though, thanks to Dwight Howard and the Magic who eventually spoiled what could have been one of the most anticipated NBA finals. Enough of that though. During the 1st game, I together with 5 of my officemates went to National Sports Grill to watch Game 1 via a wide screen that was setup inside the place, of course this will not be complete without a bucket of beer (well make that 2 buckets) :) It was my first time doing that and I had fun because I was with friends and officemates while watching the game and most importantly, Lakers won. :)

We are now halfway through the series and as the game shifts to Orlando for Games 3,4and possibly 5 the series just gets better. I can't wait for the drama to unfold. Will Kobe win his fourth ring in 13 years and finally lead his Lakers to the coveted championship or will Dwight Howard and the Magic spoil the fun?

That is the beauty of watching basketball, you can't determine who wins until the final buzzer is heard.

Yahoo Fantasy League... a real thriller

The NBA regular season is almost over and things are heating up within our FANTASY League. I am included in 3 yahoo fantasy league with some of my officemates and it is one sure hell of a fun game. In our first league, I am currently at the top spot out of 13 players and some of the guys are starting to creep in and wanted to take over the top spot and not only that, the guys had placed a small prize to whoever becomes the league champion. I am sure that the number 2 and number 3 guys are already thinking of strategies to topple me from the TOP, hopefully with my current pool of players, i would still maintain the No.1 spot and barring any injuries for my players...I can finally lay claim to being NUMERO UNO...
