I've got four teams on yahoo fantasy basketball. Two of them are leagues that include many of my friends. I am currently in first place with one team and in second place with the other three. A major set back for one of my teams was Yao Mings, and Paul Pierce's injuries. Wally Szczerbiak has really aggrivated me. He has been in and out, and is inconsistant when he does play. So i recently dropped him from two of my teams. The same thing happened to me during the football season with Santana Moss.
Do you think Shaun Livingston will make a good comeback, when he recovers through the offseason and some of next year? I hope so. I really looked forward to seeing him improve this season. And i even had him on two of my teams.

Congrats to u and hope u can keep your #1 position till the end. I was also affected by Pierce (and also AI) injuries. Luckily, I have Josh Smith and Mike Miller to keep my team competitive.
Watching Livingston's injury in youtube is scary. I also hope he recovers as he is one player I always keep an eye on.

Yes, I am in a league on Yahoo! and I hate to brag, but I'm in first place out of the ten teams i the league. Haha, I really am doing better than I expected I would be. I DO have a question though ... would you keep Earl Boykins on your roster, or drop him for someone else?

Good work! I have 3 teams in Yahoo league, and happy to say, I am on the upper places on all them and still have chance to maybe win
I am in 2nd place in my main league, in which all the managers are my friends and really competitive. It is roto, 12-stat, 10 teams, 13-player roster. My team is: AI, Pierce, Mike Miller, DHoward, Okur, Dalembert, B.Roy, Josh Smith, T.Parker, Magette, RJ and Granger.
Boykins is too inconsistent nowadays. If there is someone better in your waiver, I would suggest just dropping him.

I got four teams, 3 Head-to-head ones and one rotisserie.
Two of teams are currently playing for the championship
and one for the third place battle.
When I reach the playoffs (still a newbie)I learn a thing or two on how to win your match ups.
The strategy in this kind of fantasy league where there is unlimited transactions is to fill your roster spot on every game with mediocre players from the waiver wire.
It works like this you have four players in which you can
drop to get players from the waiver and keep on doing this until the end of the match ups.
Someone uses this to me and now we have a 50/50 chance of winning the championship even if I got a team full of all-star players(KOBE,T-MAC,MELO,R.LEWIS,JAMISON,ODOM,RIP and 7 others that is still heavy names).
Timing is a factor when using this strategy and a lot of searching for hot players.
