I’d like it better if you’d keep the content family friendly.  I found this site a few days ago and really like the basketball analysis but would prefer not to have it mixed with risque pictures, off-color jokes, and double entendre.  Right now, it limits the people I’d be willing to recommend your site to.

People who like adult content can find it easily enough by searching for it.  It’s nice not to have it mixed in with unrelated content.

On the basketball side, seems like quite an early run on Centers.  I’m surprised to see the last 3 guys go off the board before player like Billups and R. Lewis.

Also, it isn’t clear to me - is this mock for Roto or HTH?

Hey, the reason for the early run on centers is that this is a TWO center start league… and we’re trying to keep this general as far as type of league and we’ll try to mention what type of league a player is better in within our analysis.  Since it’s the early rounds, all the players would be good in both, but I’m sure as we get going later in the draft, we’ll be a little more specific.  For example, Damon Jones from a couple of seasons ago better in ROTO for his cumulative threes VS. H2H where he can be inconsistent… he’s a streaky one that Damon Jones.  At least, he was.  The boy doesn’t get anymore run.

Now as far as content… I, and I could probably speak for the DD team, WE really appreciate your comments.  And I’ll speak personally now, we pretty much started our own blog for the freedom of writing what we want, how we want.  As you can see, we take our fantasy hoops VERY SERIOUSLY.  And we try to convey our thoughts in an analytical AND entertaining way… at least what we personally may think is entertaining.  Granted, it’s not for everyone, but we do our best to make sure it is.

And, I don’t think we’ve been racy at all.  Or have gone over any kind of line.  Have we been off-color, yeah, probably to some degree.  Double entendres?  Unfortunately, in OUR (or maybe just my…) world, that’s normal in a very playful way… nothing serious.  And as far as risque pics, the above were the first ones we’ve done.  And I personally have NO PROBLEM with it because there isn’t any nudity at all and the pics are quite small.  Does it make it excusable?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Obviously, not to you, Mr. Wilkins and I can respect that.

And, I’d REALLY HATE to lose you as a reader because we value every single one of you because let’s face it, we’re new as a site (although, collectively, we’ve written for fantasybasketball.com, SI.com, and various other sites where you can get hoops info).  So, I gotta be honest with you, I think the writing style you’ve seen is pretty much what you’re going to get.  Now, will we ever cross the line of trying to be entertaining/funny and racy/sexually explicit? 

No.  I can guarantee you that, but we are pretty much set in our style of writing and I hope that you could at least look past anything that might slightly offend you and see the analysis and breakdowns that we give you.

I hope that you keep checking out DD.com.  And if you should have any questions or anything at all, feel free to e-mail me at dennis@droppingdimes.com.

Personally, I love it!  This is going to come in handy come draft time!  I’m getting some great 411 on the players selected, as well as the logic behind the picks.  It’s great stuff, and I LOVE the writng style!  I want more than the same old (stiff) expert anaysis, I want a chuckle or two as well, and I certainly get that here!

Best of all…You guys don’t suck!  (don’t go there D)
