Oh, we might as well. It helps me stay interested in the NBA.

I’ve set up a fantasy hoops league for us at [Yahoo](http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/).

League Name: The Straight Dunk  
League ID #: 45046  
Password: cecil  
Live online draft: Thursday, Nov. 1, 8:40 p.m. EST

I’ve set it for up to 12 teams, but that can be adjusted up or down as needed.

As always, I’ll randomize the draft order just before the draft (aka the Shaq Sweepstakes). Who comes second, though? Kobe? Iverson? (Isn’t he out for like a month? So where do you pick him?) And where do you pick His Airness? …

Thank you Milo. I was thinking about starting this up, but with being commish of the hockey league, I didn’t want to bite off more than I could chew. (I may have already.)

And it is not the Ice Cubes this time. Time for something different.

This may keep me more interested as well. Last year it was look and see how many Iverson scored and move on. Of course if I draft Iverson, it may not.🙂

My team is the Traveling Wilburys. I can’t do the Live draft, so I hope my team can be autopicked. Thanks Milo.

The Sleeping Giants join yet another SDMB league, fresh from domination of the SDMB Fantasy Baseball league.

Let’s not mention my performance in the Pick 'Em football league. I beg you.
