Name That Team

Okay, so there’s a category over there (near the bottom where the categories are… I know a little hard to find sometimes) about GMTR leagues. This is where you can track the progress of the 4, yes unforunately 4, leagues I’ll be in this season (and if PMad wants to post about any of his leagues, they’ll be there too, I suppose).

My league participation limit is usually 2, but I joined the KFBA league in a moment of lack-of-fantasy-basketball-for-real weakness for #1. That was about a month ago. And I’d already called out Saeed from Fantasy Bull. So that hit my usual limit of 2 before the inimitables Dennis Velasco and Ryan McNeill asked me to join their experts and bloggers leagues respectively. (I don’t have a lisp, just a lot of S’s)

Dennis’ League, the Dropping Dimes Fantasy Basketball Experts League (here on out the Dropping Dimes Leaugue) includes such luminaries as:

1. Neil Tardy (Talented Mr. Roto / NBA.com)
2. Evan Silva (Rotoworld / USAToday.com)
3. Matt Satten (Pro Fantasy Sports)
4. Nels Wadycki (Give Me The Rock)
5. Mike Slane (ElevationMag.com)
6. Skeets & Tas (The Basketball Jones)
7. Richard Christ (Fantasy Sports R Us)
8. Brandon Haraway (The Fantasy Lounge)
9. Alvin Lai (DroppingDimes.com)
10. Dennis Velasco (DroppingDimes.com)
11. Scott Sargent (DroppingDimes.com)
12. Ron Chow (DroppingDimes.com)

A little turd falls out of me every time I read that list. I’m confident I’ll be able to not come in last. And that about it.

Anyway, the real point is that my team is called Give Me WLS AM 89, and coming up with that seriously drained all the creative energy I had when it came to team-naming. But there is a rash of creativity going around the hoops blogosphere. Since I just got the invite from Ryan (from the all new NBA.com Ultimate Fantasy Commissioner!) and he took the liberty of naming my team GiveMeTheRock.com, I’m hoping to take advantage of that creativity to help me come up with pretty much anything better than that for my bloggers league team. Unfortunately I have nothing more than a link to the site of the winner to give away. And maybe I’ll post whatever picture you want up here. Or something blog-related like that… I have nothing left to give.

So, let me just start things off – as an ex-Blazer fan – with Zach Randolph’s Hoops Family Share Plan. Go for it! Remember, you get pretty much any prize you want as long as it’s free!
