I'll make a victory cigar graphic later. And I have no idea how accurate these depth charts are until they start playing.

Also, I just made this thing so if anyone sees a screwup anywhere on it, let me know.

Be honest......... How bad were you waiting to post a game thread? Its like you couldnt wait, ha?
I know I cant for our first game to start. Its like an addiction we cant control. My girl said I bet your going to breakup with me once the season begins arent you? I told her if you talk this much during the game I just might. :lol:

I have to start all the gamethreads, it's like a compulsion. We can still use yours to talk about the game, but this is the *official* one.

The graphic is really nice, but what I liked about the old ones, was their compactness. That made them quite individual compared to other team's designs.

Giddens? No... unfortunately he has not the basketaball IQ we need.

Budinger is a nice shooter. If he defends well enough he can be a good role player.

This isn't necessarily a finished product, I'll try a few things before the season starts, including making it more compact.

Budinger has been absolutely lights out so far in all of his Summer League games and it has continued here in the preseason for his first game. I think he has issues on defense, though. That 1-3-1 crap he played at Arizona was possibly detrimental to his defense. He should have all the tools to be a good defender, but hasn't looked great so far.

He was only a rookie last year. Basketball smarts can be gained along the way...he has freak athletic abilities, long arms and is quick as hell.
