Im trying to move our playoffs up two weeks to avoid players sitting out with phantom injuries. Im currently in yahoo which is extremely limited. Ive heard that CBS sportsline is decent, but if i remember correctly, last season i tried to make some custom settings on cbs sportsline and it didnt work. anyways, Im in a pay league $20/manager. Im the commish, if anyone is interested, please let me know. Its a group of friends and some managers i plucked out of the top 50 on the yahoo big board. If not, Id love to start a FBB yahoo roto league, would anyone be down to save one of your four yahoo leagues for something like that? anyone know a fantasy basketball host that lets you adjust when the championship would be played in a h2h league?

It's looking like he'll be one of those faux sleepers everyone's aware of who's taken too early. Figuring where to draft Oden and Durant is, of course, going to be really interesting. I like the Oden-Dalembert-Chandler comparison JM made for valuing Oden this year. And yesterday's summer league game might be a sign of more foul-plagued games to come as he tries to live up to everyone's expectations as a dominant defender right off the bat. He'll almost universally be taken before the 5th, so valuing him at the Dalembert level means letting someone else take the risk. Durant is harder to predict. I'm worried he'll take a ton of bad shots and shoot in the 42% range. And TOs will probably hurt his value too. It's tough to make a comparison for him to another rookie who entered the league as his team's #1 option. Vince Carter had an amazing rookie year: 18/6/3 with decent %s. Does it really make sense to project something better from Durant? And is it worth risking a fantasy team on his rookie season? I'm strongly tempted to let someone else have the fun of owning him.
