...

WHAT?! Did you guys seriously expect me to put more effort into this after all of the whining and complaining recently?! Pfff...DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!

...

haha

Ok ok, since I'm a nice guy I'll give you what you really deserve:

My very first (and most likely very last

) episode of
"The Suns board on game day" (TAHDAH!)

As you guys can see, our beloved lucky charm Riley isn't too happy. What's wrong, little man?!

(Riley babbles some incomprehensible rubbish)

AAAH, I see, you're missing your daddy since he's up for his usual pre-game ritual:

That's pretty hot, Staff - was pretty sure you look a lot uglier, remembering the pix from your Facebook account

Hey dude, while you're busy drinking your own bath water - where's Dan? Haven't seen him all day long!

The way it seems, NeverFear hit the jackpot by discovering a brand new Grant Hill gallery on the internet, and they had TONS of new pics he hadn't seen before. He's not available ever since, neither on MSN, nor for his wife and son...hey dude - what's that funny noise, btw? Pretty sure I heard that before...

Oh, and for all those among you who wonder what Ollie looks like - I just found the old pic NF sent me after the boy's birth:

I guess no one doubts that NeverFear's ancestors were German anymore now, right?!

Oh, and speaking of Germans - our beloved users from the greatest country in the world are having their daily meeting at the moment:

Just look at RisingSun on the left, secretly grabbing his balls - looking good guys! Sorry I couldn't come around, but I had to make this damn game thread since everybody was whining and complaining again.

Unfortunatelly pidi won't be around at game time again since he got lost after the meeting, enjoying his daily dosis of "stuttgarter hofbr

Best thread ever.

:clap:

^ Wondering whether those are good or bad "Wow"s :lol:

My favorite part about this so far is the fact that they actually deleted the pic of the fat guy in the thong the first time I uploaded it. Guess someone found it to be a little offensive :rofl:

Neither good nor bad...

If you consider being a little crazy is a neutral personality trait.

A little crazy...oh well, I consider myself still battling my own demons. See:

Do you realize how many poor people you could have helped with the time it took you to make that thread?

It's just a shame Moe..

.. unless they were broke ass San Antonio fans.. then F them!

Love the squirrel pic....absolute genious.
This should be a tough game. Houston coming off those bad losses, they should come out with some intensity so I hope we can match it. I do believe this will be the second of a back to back though (for them), so that SHOULD work in our favor.

Man, I wouldn't care if we never won another game just as long as you kept making threads like this. :lol:

No pressure buddy. :wink:

BTW, where is Frank? Haven't seen him since the streak at least. I guess his sky has fallen.... :-?

GET SOME NUTS!!!

Radio said he will miss Rockets game (no surprise) and be day-to-day after. Paul Coro probably will have more details at end of day.

Damn, those are two damn good bands, don't you think, B-Ball?

Oh, right...never mind!

Smashing pumpks are a'ite, even tho Metallica craps on em... lots better then the crap music u listen to at least :lol:

"Bullet with buterfly wings" is actually 1 of my fave rock songs.
Hip Hop n Rap rule, but it isn't at all the only stuff I listen 2.

On the utha hand LMAO @ the Frank Lee sequence :lol:

Been a while since we faced a defensive team like Houston.
They were usually our beyatchs since pre Shaq-era we used to have Amare and Diaw make Yao run himself to death...
The matchups will be totally different now minus Yao, + Shaq of course, hope we won't be in for a snooze fest.

I expect Me-Mac to kill us, look out for Rafer and Battier's shooting as well...

Oh ya, sh*t, they got Scola in their starting lineup now :banghead:

Amare better get ready for a zillion calls off of flops against him

GO SUNS!!!
and puh-leaz go easy on those mother farkin TO's this time guys

I wonder who is going to get the start in his place then?

Do you start LB and pretty much give Tmac his points, but on the other hand have him have to chase Leandro around on the other end?

Or do you maybe start Diaw at the SF and have GH match up on him?

Or do you go conventional and give Giri the start? Probably the best defensive presence on Tmac but is it going to be enough to stop him from going for 40?

Mike has his favourites and I expect LB to get the start. Giricek off the bench when Barbs begins to get out of control.

b-ball forever · Post #18 » by **b-ball forever** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 7:36 pm

^^Yeah, I think LB will start, and we'll have DJ/Giri backin up the guard spots.

The good thing about that is that LB plays full time at SG, where he's a lot better. Don't mind seeing more DJ either

Start Girieck in place of Bell. LB replaces Nash and mix in a little DJ on Tmac.

Sorry for the stereotype way of thinking there, mate

Oh, and speaking of the "crap I listen to" - you mean acts like the Smashing Pumpkins, one of my all-time favorite bands, for example?! :lol:

"Bullet with butterfly wings" is cool, but "Zero" definitely kicks ass!
