2008-2009 Game Thread Archive 

Post#1 » by mkwest » Sun Oct 12, 2008 3:51 am

It's that time again. It's a brand new...er...a whole new season and the slate has been wiped clean from last year. The new look Clippers have brought in 9 new players and are ready to begin the Baron Davis era. Joining the returning cast of Chris Kaman, Al Thornton, Cuttino Mobley, Tim Thomas & Paul Davis are: the flashy and exciting new leader Baron Davis, former defensive player of the year Marcus Camby, versatile veteran Ricky Davis, sharp shooting Steve Novak, Jason Hart & Brian Skinner who are returning fan favorites, and last but not least, Eric Gordon, DeAndre Jordan & Mike Taylor who look to get their feet wet in their first NBA season. This past offseason has given Clipper Nation hope as the organization seemed to shed nearly every single characteristic that we have grown accustomed to over the years. Ultimately health and chemistry will determine the level of success that we achieve, but there is no question that we have a talented cast of players that should be very exciting to watch and cheer for this season.

The main point of this thread is to sign-up for games. Everyone can volunteer for a particular game and will have the honor of introducing the match-up for the rest of us. There is no one right way to do it. It can include the lineups/rosters, a scouting report, graphics, whatever. Everybody can add their own flavor to it. We had quite a few posters do the game threads last year, and hopefully we'll see even more people get involved this season. Let's try to have the threads up by noon on game day (10am if the game is at 12:30pm), so we can all begin discussion. Even if it's not fully complete when you have first posted it, you can always update it later if you choose. If there's no thread posted by an hour and half before tip-off, then anyone can create the thread.

-- Also, we'll be updating this post daily, so if you click on the matchup in this post, it will take you to the corresponding game thread. If you click on the final score, you will be taken to the official NBA.com boxscore. This allows for quick and easy reference if you need/want to recall a specific game/performance.

Lastly, we'll be adding a new post-game activity following each regular season win. After every victory we'll have a poll for player of the game. We'll list a few players for about 24 hours and everyone can vote for who they felt had the biggest impact on the victory. The results will be tallied for the entire season.

That should be a fun game, especially if the rookies really go at it.

Yeah this month looks much better. If Z-Bo can produce the way he did, or close to, with the Knicks then we may have a good chance to come back and maybe get closer to .500.
