2012-2013 Game Thread Achive

[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 3pm 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 volunteer to 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 Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Baron Davis and Eric Gordon.

Wow, we really could go streaking through December. Quite a few average teams on the road.

[mkwest]

Anybody want Saturday's preseason game?

Wow, we really could go streaking through December. Quite a few average teams on the road.

It looks pretty favorable. Even the playoff teams don't look too bad.

[mttwlsn16]

I don't get how u guys make such fancy GTs

[Det the Threat]

I'll take the Warriors game on November 3rd, if possible.

[mkwest]

I'll take the Warriors game on November 3rd, if possible.

You got it

I don't get how u guys make such fancy GTs

We basically just find picture links online and use those. It doesn't have to be fancy. I wish that I could use photoshop like some people here, but I'm not there yet. I can send you some links to player photos if you would like. Pictures aren't even necessary. You could just write up a preview/pre-game report if you chose to. There's no one way to do it.

[illastrate]

I'll take opening night.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I will do the game against the Cavs

[mttwlsn16]
