The NBA is giving us the best Xmas present possible this year: A season starting on Xmas Day. As a result, the MeFi NBA league is back,

The most important rulw: Only sign up if you will keep up with your team.

The draft is on 12/22/11 at 8.30pm CST.

League ID and password are in my profile's "About Me" section.

Let's get it on!

Aww, I'd love to but I'm going to be in the air during draft time.

Okay, I'm in, though I'm not going to love automating my draft picks (I might see if I can get a trusted friend to do it for me.)

I'm loving that Durant is the general #1 pick right now, over LeBron. (Go Thunder!)

Is this a Yahoo league? I do not see a link.

KevinSkomsvold - I sure hope so, otherwise I joined a random yahoo league with the same password.

Anyways, I'm the Dirty Rat Finks. Don't know who else is signed up yet.

I don't know...a pair of socks sounds pretty good.

The NBA can go suck eggs.

This looks like a good year for college ball.

I'm in. I'm the Farragut Bulls. Original, eh? As is traditional with most fantasy leagues I've been in, I was going to name my team something completely inappropriate and related to genitalia.

I suggest something having to do with "balls."

A full season that just runs a little late?

I can't commit to a full-season (heh....irony) as I know once school starts back up, I'd let it flounder a bit. But, I do love fantasy hoops and could make the live draft, so if one of you all that can't make it wants to trust me to draft for you, I'd be happy to. I'll even let you e-mail me people to target/avoid and how you generally like your team built.

Unfortunately I'm contractually obligated to stick with my Chinese Basketball Association fantasy league, so I'm out.

I've got the Math Nerds! Long-time NBA fan, first time doing fantasy sports.

I'm interested. How much of a weekly time commitment would this be?

I'm in again this year (Fluffy Bunnies 1).
