What size should the pictures be? It looks like it shrunk my graphic a little....

Post #10 » by **corona** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 5:15 am

i don't see any difference. i think a 500 width is fine (and height doesn't matter). that's what Don used to use.

Really? It looks really blurry to me...oh well...

love the graphics and they're the right size - the only thing I would say is maybe make the names a little cleaner, even though I know who they are its kinda hard to make out..

on a side note did anyone catch this:

I just checked the width limit is 183, so I made a new one that is 180px wide.
The names should be easier to read now once he puts this one up, let me know. They were blurry because the picture was shrunk.

Can't see them opening the game like they did against the Sixers again. Lots of favorable matchups, Chauncey on Duhon should be fun to watch. Go Nuggs woooooo

"I think he's been great," Denver coach George Karl said. "He's a backup to Chauncey (Billups), but every game there's an opening for him to finish the game. He's my defender. I like having the lead and having him and Chauncey on the court together, because I have the defense and playmaking at the same time."
:nonono:

"having him and Chauncey on the court together"

Play JR and Chauncey together you .....! :evil:

"I like our rotation probably as much with him being an explosive sixth man as him being a starter," Karl said of Smith. "Starting means very little to me. I've always been shocked at the importance and the amount of time we spend on starters. We should have finishers. The guys that are finishing the game, the tie game with five minutes to go, are the guys that the coach really respects and wants on the court." :sour:

Im going to the game today at MSG. I hope Carmelo plays. I think the Knicks are going to win because they will play uptempo and they have been struggling lately. If Denver wins today it will be a close game.

I'm amazed at the amount of time we spend on AC as a top-notch defender.

I was liking AC as a backup to Chauncey based on what he did while AI was here. As a backup. When you start turning him into the primo defender then you lost me.

Yeah he's a guy that gives tremendous effort when needed. My recommendation is he put that tremendous effort on working on his game and not turning the ball over. He will turn back into a decent backup once he has worked on not turning the ball over.

and besides, AC does his best work when he's not in the spotlight, when he's the guy no one expects to do anything. when george puts him out there for the sharks they tear him apart....

gotta just go back to realism and play who's playing well and let Carter work his way back up

I would put a tremendous effort if I was on the court playing a game representing the Nuggets. This doesn't mean I should be playing.

The 3 PG lineup is going to give me a heart attack.
