2011-2012 Game Thread Archive

[mkwest]

The main point of this thread is to sign-up for games. Anyone can volunteer for a particular game and will have the honor of introducing the match-up for the rest of us. There is no one right way to do it. It can include the lineups/rosters, a scouting report, graphics, whatever. Everybody can add their own flavor to it. We had quite a few posters do the game threads last year, and hopefully we'll see even more people get involved this season. Let's try to have the threads up by noon on game day (10am if the game is at 12:30pm), so we can all begin discussion. Even if it's not fully complete when you have first posted it, you can always update it later if you choose. If there's no thread posted by an hour and half before tip-off, then anyone can create the thread.

-- Also, we'll be updating this post daily, so if you click on the match-up in this post, it will take you to the corresponding game thread. If you click on the final score, you will be taken to the official NBA.com boxscore. This allows for quick and easy reference if you need/want to recall a specific game/performance.

After every victory we'll have a poll for Star of the Game. After each win, you will have 24 hours to vote for who for who you felt had the biggest impact on the victory. The results will be tallied for the entire season and help determine the team's best player. Past winners for the annual Mr. Clipper Award (Player of the Year) include Blake Griffin, Baron Davis and Eric Gordon.

Thanks for stepping up. Hopefully the team will have more luck with you doing some game threads. I've looked at every game I did and the team really didn't play that well. We won some of the games I did but I still thought the team could have played better.

I'll get these March ones. I'm going to that MEM game so hopefully it'll hype me up.

It's not too hard. Usually, you'll have the starting line-ups and you can write up a game preview. You can check some of the old ones out or see how the next ones go to get the hang of it. When you find a game that you want to do that is available, just let us know in this thread.

[mttwlsn16]

ok cool

[LOJ]

I'll take the Timberstomps and Portland in March, and you know I want revenge against Dallas in April.

[mttwlsn16]

How do u put the pics in like u guys do tho? And set it all up so neatly lol. Feel like if I tried it'd be a jumbled mess

But sign me up for
9th vs Spurs or
12th vs Celtics

[mkwest]

Just to limit some of the confusion of who is doing what thread, we're going to start putting the name of the poster that is up next in the title of this thread along with the date of the game.

If you are unable to make the thread for any reason, please either pm myself or numba2, or you can post that you will not be able to make the thread in this one.
