Most times, the rosters are only announced right at the start of the game.   You can often see the Managers hand their roster to the umpires before the game starts.

ok. first calm down. this is a very commen thing. like baseball players have slumps, so do basketball players. 1st play some bball on your own. pretend ppl are there but beat them. imagine yourself doing well. believe inyourself. also take this frustration as motivation show your couch and your coach you are dedicated and the you are a good player. Its all about 1 word RELENTLESS

if it's a public league you can write yahoo fantasy sports under unsportsmanlike play and have that team froze for the remainder of the season, but if it's a private league there is nothing you can do about it. I've tried to have unfair commionsers removed or disciplined and they wont dont anything about it because they say they are not allowed to interfere in private leagues,  Unfortunately thats the hang ups about playing in someone else's league, they have all power and control over everything. I'm sorry this happening to you.\n\nThe only thing i can honestly say to you is write fantasy sports about have your league id, your team name, the commissioners name and the dates and questionable moves he or she has made as evidence and hope for the best.\n&#92;\nEven though fantasy games are meant to be a competitive experience for all involved, it is important to us that our users not lose sight of the rules of fair play and good sportsmanship.\n\n\n1.

Get rid of Maxiell, Przybilla and Johnson.  All these players come off the bench and will get very limited playing time.  Some players to substitute, if available are:\n\nEtan Thomas\nLuke Walton\nAndrew Bynum\nJarrett Jack\nEarl Watson

The best way to get better at a sport is practice!  Find your weeknesses and work on them till they get better. So lets say you aren't that great at dribbling...What you have to do is set up a set of cones in a row and/or curving around (to represent players) and dribble around the outsides of the cones while keeping control of the ball.  If you have shooting problems, just keep shooting for a few hours and you'll get it.  I suggest for a shooting problem to start off trying to make 5 shots in a row without missing.  If you miss you should start back at 0 and work up to 5 again.  Do this with lay-ups and once you master those, move on to free throws.  then back 2 steps, then back another 2 steps.  Keep doing that untill you reach 2 steps past the (invisible three point line) if you are on your driveway or just past the regular three point line.

ap4906 is not giving you good advice. I would drop Harpring and maybe Korver if you can find someone better. Look for Gerald Wallace to come off of injury pretty soon, if he's available, go get him.

2 suggestions:\n1) when you are looking down and doing your dribbles, pick out a small dent or mark on the floor and try to hit it all 3 times. This action of "aiming small" will make the hoop an easier target.\n2) Do some free-throws in your head when you find the time( when you wake up, when you are about to fall asleep, and before a game ) studies have shown that ppl who practice free-throws in their head before actually shooting shot 20% higher than those who did not  ;)

Stop playing defense and work on street moves that mean absolutely nothing to the sanctity of the game except for highlight reel moves.  Throw away tapes of Bird, Johnson, Barkley and start following Iverson, Alston and Williams.

dont concentrate so much on the meals! eh, become an all-round player, focus on speed, agility, reaction and of course ball handling...your shot will develop by itself, just make sure you practice passing,passing and passing. Passing equals goals.

check the leaderboard and forum for fantasy basketball - its the same for everyone who purchased it (myself included) - its still jacked up - probably crappy programming locking it up after the free period was over - hopefully they'll fix it soon - its pretty annoying.

You can't delete it but you can drop all your players and return them to the free agent pool. It shoud be fun to hang around for a few days and watch the feeding frenzy as the other teams in your league try to pick up the best players.

If you're playing in a total or net league, you'd want to rack up as many numbers as you could. So  you'd want:\nC Duncan\nPF Garnett\nSF LeBron\nSG Kobe\nPG Iverson\n(Positions based off of Yahoo's position-assignment)\nBut if you're playing in a head-to-head league, you'd want to be strong in a handful of categories. So for instance you might take Nash over Iverson, since Nash gives you 4-5 more assists per game, even though Iverson gives you 10 more points per.\nC Duncan/Ben Wallace\nPF Nowitzki\nSF Marion\nSG LeBron\nPG Nash

Looks liek Ricky Davis fantasy value is dropping. So trade him while his value is still high.\n\nPackage some of ur guards for bigs like Elton Brand /  Dwight Howard. You have way too many PGs that just shoot threes. trade them for Bigs.\n\nAlso try get rid of Larry Hughes for a PF such as Troy Murphy or Josh Smith.\n\nDrop Sean May for guys like Haywood/Przbillia if available.

You click on the position and bench someone not playing that night then click on the player you want to play and put him in.\n\nSome guys can be more than 1 position, like C and LW, or LW and RW.\n\nTry to fill all positions the best you can every night.

You have a stacked team IMO.  Do not worry so much about weeks 15 & 16 (I am assuming you are talking about fantasy playoff matchups).   With the type of team you have.....trying to think too much about playoff matches will probably end up hurting your team.  You are solid at every postion with players you would not sit no matter the matchup anyway.
