As you readers of the Sports Forum know, a few of us have been playing a Fantasy Basketball Game throughout the regular season.

A new game for the post season is about to start, probably tomorrow when the playoff schedule is announced.

It's a game that you have to be involved in every day for the length of the playoffs, so we're talking about approximately two months.

Every day you pick a roster (point guard, shooting guard, power forward, small forward, center, and coach) from among those players and coaches who are playing on that particular day.

You get fantasy points for points scored, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks, and lose points for missed field goal attempts, missed free throws, and turnovers.

Every player is assigned a salary cap value, and the total value for your team can't go over 100. Since the best players all have values much greater than 20, you can't just pick only the best players. Like if you take Garnett & Duncan, for example, you're going to wind up weaker at the other positions.

Anyway, if you're interested in playing, watch this thread tomorrow. As soon the playoff schedule is announced the game will open and I'll post the link and instructions on how to join.
