Hey guys,

As we get closer to the regular season, I think it's time to discuss game threads. This was a routine a few years back during the Van Gundy era, but I think many years of mediocrity stopped us from continuing this tradition. Well, it's time to get back and revive this forum. We will use this thread as a sign-up sheet for those who are interested in creating game threads.

GAME THREAD RULES
We'll keep the rule as simple as possible. All game threads should have at least the following information:
1. Title should contain date, time, opponent, and whether the game is at home or away.
2. Thread should contain TV information and projected starting line-ups from both teams.
3. Ensure that each game thread is created at least the day before the game.
Note: Any photos or videos are welcome, but NO NUDITY.

GAME THREAD COMPETITION RULES
Per Mr. E's idea, I was thinking if we can get some sort of competition going with these game threads. Here's my proposal:
1. With each regular season game the Rockets win, the game thread creator will be awarded a win.
2. With each playoffs game the Rockets win, the game thread creator will be awarded with 2 wins.
3. With each regular season or playoffs game the Rockets lose, the game thread creator will be penalized with a loss.
4. At the end of the season, all wins and losses will be tallied up. The user who accumulates the most number of wins while maintaining a positive win percentage will be granted a special title that he/she gets to keep until the next season until we have a new annual winner. I haven't come up with a creative title for this recognition. I am happy to entertain any other ideas or suggestions.

Simply respond below this thread if there's any particular game thread you wish to cover.

Thanks for reading. Screw the Mavs, Jazz, Lakers and especially the Warriors. Go Rockets!

Playoffs Round 1:

And remember - every time someone doesn't start a thread there is a strong chance that I will. Do you people really want that?

Keep in mind that I started the majority of the game threads last season, and wasn't that a fun season?

the good old days

Ok, you all asked for it.

I'm starting a game thread when I get home.

There's still time for someone to step up or else...Mr. E game thread.

Rockets / Cavs game in Tuesday is moved up to a 5 PM start time due to the World Series.

I'll do today but it won't be well done with pics I'm on my phone until about 15 minutes before tip off (no way I'm missing this one so I'll reschedule clients if I have to. Maybe will add eye candy if I get home with enough time)

Someone else make it today please. My dad said he got us tickets and by the way he was talking I'm thinking he got us the court side ones

Dame, prepare to step on my foot as I'm conveniently yawning and stretching out

I was wrong,tickets are for tomorrow I didn't know we play the thunder tonight

Forgot the rocket were playing but what the **** harden and Capela for that late foul!!!!!

I was going to say: "Key takeaway, never let Mr. E start the game thread.", but then I saw that he warned us.

The Rockets can have the '92 team USA roster and Mr. E still ain't starting a game thread.

jwise44, wanna be lucky charm for tonight's game? We could use a 'Win' tonight. Not trying to dismiss ducler's terrific game threads.

I said it in the game thread right? Although a broken fibula is better than a torn MCL, I guess.

6 weeks not too bad, still 2-3 months to get back and fit for the playoffs.

You guys gonna let ducler win this prize? Lets see what you got! His are great but he will post his stats in the thread even if already made. We need a prize for second place. The honor of a special title. I know we could do better than that...but we can start there. And1's from everyone too. Yeah, we could do better than that as well. But with this exciting season, lets pump it up down the stretch! I'm pulling for the Rockets, being a D'Antoni fan, despite losing tough series in 94 and 95 to you, so hopefully you can know out the Spurs, who I have had a tougher time losing more recent series too, and then you can knock out those cocky Warriors.

Time to update games 47 to 59 and the tallies!
