They’re both launching today… and unless you absolutely hate the NBA, I think you’ll enjoy the NBA FanHouse. I always felt like of all the sports out there, the blogosphere was strongest in the NBA area. And some of, in fact, most of the best have signed on with the FanHouse, including J.E. Skeets of The Basketball Jones, and Bethlehem Shoals of FreeDarko. There’s also Matt Watson of Detroit Bad Boys, Miss Gossip from Suns Gossip, Nate Jones (who? Nate JONES) of JonesOnTheNBA, Marcel Mutoni of BenchRenaldo, and Craig and Brett from The Association.

Not a weak link in the bunch. Seriously, it’s exciting to be a part of that cast. I feel like Christian Laettner on the Dream Team, and I’m more than willing to carry Shoals’ bags and get Skeets donuts on the way to practice every morning (Tim Horton’s, of course).

The NCAA Hoops FanHouse is also launching, and I’m a part of that one, too. I could tell you that the cast is just as awesome, but that would probably be a lie, and since Christmas is right around the corner, I’m not going to lie. Santa’s watching (seriously, it’s December already… did that sneak up on anyone else? Seeing a “12″ in the date on my cell phone just blew my mind).

It’s nothing against the people there, it’s just … the college basketball blogosphere has just never been as strong as the NBA’s. It’s odd which sports have the best blogs out there. NFL, weak. MLB, strong. College football, strong. College basketball, weak. NBA, strong. Hockey, I have no goddamn idea. Turkish oil wrestling, outright dominant.

Anyway, check them out if you get a chance. And if anyone has any advice on how I could get 28 hours into a day instead of 24, I’d love to hear it.
