Public Service Announcement
4:59 PM ET on 10/30/12 by Jay Soester
The NBA season starts tonight at 7 PM ET with the Cavaliers hosting the Wizards. The national broadcasts kick off on TNT with the Heat getting their rings before hosting the Celtics at 8 PM ET. Make sure you're NBA Standings Pickem entries are in by 6:57 PM ET.

As always, I'd like to make the public service announcement that NBA League Pass can be seen for free by those with access until next Tuesday, November 6th. Hopefully I'm not alone in enjoying free stuff.

Heat Check?
7:12 PM ET on 6/28/12 by Jay Soester
With the NBA season a week gone by, and hopefully enough time passed to let anger subside, I'm curious to see if the Heat's championship changes anyone's opinion of the team.

Looking it up, 20 members have registered with the Heat as their favorite NBA team. Being from South Florida, that includes me. I imagine a majority of members hate the Heat given the events of the past two years, but I'm curious on the outside opinions regardless. Let me know your thoughts on the championship via the NBA Offseason Thread on the league message board. Or, if you can't stand talking about the Heat (which I can understand given ESPN), comment on your team's draft pick.

Given the results of the recent "What are you Watching?" poll where only 40% of the members that voted were following the NBA playoffs, I'd imagine many weren't swayed one way or the other by NBA Playoffs itself.


While I have you, don't forget the CFL season begins just under 24 hours from now at 7 PM ET on Friday. Sign up for CFL Pickem and get your picks in before the games begin.

What are you watching?
10:48 AM ET on 6/1/12 by Jay Soester
I put up a variant of this poll every season it seems. I wanted to put this up yesterday after the pair of OT games in each series of the night, but a busy day pushed it back.

Which Series Are You Watching?

  • Stanley Cup
  • NBA Conference Finals
  • Both
  • Neither

Reply to the poll thread with your answer's explanation. I'm curious to see if the answer changes by region of the country (or internationally).

Public Service Announcement
11:57 PM ET on 12/26/11 by Jay Soester
As I switch over to watch the 76ers at the Blazers after Monday Night Football, it's my duty to give this public service announcement. The NBA League Pass package has a free preview for those that can access it from today until Sunday, January 8th. That's a seventh of the shortened season available for free. Unfortunately, it comes when there's plenty of other sports on TV to fill your TV-watching time, but nothing beats free. Hopefully I'm not the only one able to use the package.

League Poll - NBA Lockout
11:59 PM ET on 11/3/11 by Jay Soester
With a full month of the season already cancelled and the prospects for a season changing by the day, I'm curious as to what ASFL2 members think of the NBA Lockout and its impact on your fan-hood and fantasy sports participation. Reply to this thread on the message board if the lockout has changed your opinion of the NBA.

You can pick between the choices below, here.
  • I don't care about the NBA.
  • I don't care about the NBA, but I miss Fantasy Basketball.
  • I can do without the NBA until Christmas.
  • I'm fine with missing some games, so long as there's a Fantasy Basketball season.
  • I can do without the NBA until the NFL season is over.
  • Just give me the playoffs.
  • The whole situation pisses me off.
  • Just bring it back ASAP.

What the NBA Lockout Means for ASFL2
5:40 PM ET on 10/14/11 by Jay Soester
Well, we've lost two weeks of the NBA season and consequently two weeks of the 21 week Fantasy Basketball regular season.

You know something's up when it gets the Taiwanese animation treatment.

The Finals Are Set
6:32 PM ET on 5/30/11 by Jay Soester
The Eastern Conference Finals wrapped up on consecutive days last week. The NBA's version finished Thursday night with the Heat beating the Bulls in game 5. The NHL's version finished Friday night with the Bruins defeating the Lightning in game 7. Both series concluded after their respective Western counterparts to set up each league's Championship series.

With the NBA's conference finals wrapping up before the NHL's, that increased the likelihood for a rare occurance- the NBA Finals concluding before the Stanley Cup is won.

League Poll - Postseason Popularity
2:09 PM ET on 5/8/11 by Jay Soester
Last year I put the NBA & NHL Playoffs up against regular season MLB games and MLB won easily. This year, I'm putting the two postseasons up against one another.

Which postseason have you been watching more of and does having a team to root for factor in?

Vote Here.
