Another sick game thread. do you make these yourself? I wish I was good with that stuff.

Anyways... Here's hoping that we pick up where we left off the other night against Chicago :beer:

Thanks again guys

And yeah, I have a Computer Graphics class, so I thought I might as well put it to use on sigs and game threads

And agreed, I hope we come out with that intense energy from last night. It's funny, on one of the post-game interviews it said Nate told the team before the game to just go and get this one blowout, and they did it.. As simple as that. He needs to start telling them to do that more if that actually motivates them that much.. OR maybe they were just that pissed off at the refs

Nice game thread, may I ask what program you use to create this beatiful piece of art? :)

Damn, you're owning these gamethreads!

This should be a win, but it's games like this that teams tend to overlook. If they can play to their abilities, it should be a win.

Oh yes, I'm sorry, given all the times the Kings make it on national TV, as well as Hawes' 15 year NBA career, how could I possibly have missed him?

I think we match up really well against the Kings. I hope we pressure the ball when Beno's bringing the ball up-court like we did against the Bulls. That tactic was really successful and Beno Udrih isn't exactly a ball-handling Wizard like Derick Rose. We have the depth to have LaMarcus, Channing and Travis pestering them up there.

With Kevin Martin out the Kings beat the Hornet in Nawlins. This will be a battle of two teams coming off a high.

I expect to win and win handily. We're much more physical than them. 109-91

Dreamcloud!! Good Lord! Well done. That is an awesome game thread opener.

I hope this is the game LMA comes out of his slump but want to see a Greg 20 -10 - 5 assists and 5 blocks even more!

I'd love to see another blowout win, along with excellent stats from Rudy, Greg, and Jason Thompson :)

wait, what? hawes is white? lol! i always thought he was black...


ok... back to what really matters. the blazers should handle this with care and not be overconfident. they aren't a strong team but have big guys that can give the PF/C rotation a run for their money.

like vs. the hornets, the blazers have to focus in shutting down martin.
