I suggest PIF starts the first game thread, so that there is no direction for the following game threads to go but up.

First of all, when you post it’s just that, a post. If your opponent posts less than you, you post more. If you post 25 times on 25 different devices, it’s still just 25 posts no matter what the eye test tells you.
On the other hand, if your opponent gets more chances to post than you, your opponent will likely post more times. More chances to post means more posts means higher post totals. Simple.
I’d be really happy to be wrong. I’d love nothing better than for you to post more than PIF. But I’m not wrong.

First of all... no wait: I'ma start with second of all...
Second of all, yes, you are wrong. AFM already posts more than I do. More funnier, I mean. More acerbic. Not just more offensive boards, but more offensive remarks! (though of course no one is offended by them; no one even fends them off).
Remember too that the mirror always wins the eye test.
Now back to, I mean forward to, "first of all."
First of all, don't ask me why, I'm predicting a win tonight. Gonna beat them Lukamatic Porzingites, beat 'em bad. & when we do... remember who predicted it. Right on your device. Your every device. OK?

Here's hoping all game threads this year are this loopy.

Dang! B/c of this thread (& through dedicated inattention) I convinced myself that our first game was tonight. Now I'm going to have to sit at inattention until the morrow!
One way or the other, make that one day or the other, put this one in the W column! Gonna happen gotta be.

I made looking forward to seeing Bryant challenging himself early on this season and seeing what he can become as a clear cut starting Center with solid minutes. Great challenge first up against a come back Porzingis. Would really love to se him post 15/10 type numbers pre Christmas. Then look to improve going post all star break and possibly pushing for a future all star position. Hopefully he can become a really solid starting 5 for the future.

FAH, if you want to go ahead and start an official thread, please do so soon. I'll sticky it.
If you don't, this will be the thread.

Ish will score the Wiz first point of the season. Zach, you owe me $10. Ish all day.
Bryant's going to win the matchup with Porzingis, but I'm going out on a limb predicting Doncic has a big game.
