having game threads made before the day of the game should be a sign that we're making progress. And yah, that's a great picture lol. We should be able to handle Minny pretty easily. They're very injured.

What is this thread before game day stuff. lol

We went from 5 minutes before the game to an entire day before the game in just a few weeks.

Next thing you know there will be a waiting list or something.

Nice graphic work.

I have to believe Wall will start this next game. I thought it would be last game but clearly they wanted to make a bigger splash by doing it at home. Not sure what the difference would have been. First start at home is first start at home.

Is that a real Terd quote? (Sorry, I can't take actually reading Ted's MisTake.) What a silly.... I doubt I could stand riding a block in that man's clueless limo. Well, I guess maybe if I was paid.

I also noticed the early game thread. Sign of the times. A good sign. I've watched (I think) every game this season, but it's always the same futile swim in a grim blender filled with gasoline, toxic zombie robo-sharks, the Wizards, and ms, churning round as the razor sharp blades puree away. At least recently the blender is set to low speed. Stop this nonsense Wall Street! Pull the plug!

Ha the only reason I do these GTs early is because it takes some time to make these. If I wait too long, theres a chance someone creates it as im making the graphics.

@monte: Ya thats a real quote from Ted. I found the level of pretentiousness amusing.

So will we get to see any Ves vs Kirilenko

Maybe playing against the player he is supposed to be more like could help him understand what he needs to do. Or he could just watch game film.

Big game. Gotta win this to keep the season turnaround going. They haven't lost back to back games in a while now. Gotta play that .500 ball at a min and then throw in some 3-0 and 4-0 runs in there.

That is the next level of maturity I want to see from this team. No back to back loses.

They have Chicago after this game so they have to win this to have momentum. Then if they lose against Chicago they can come back and beat SAC. Or if they can beat Chicago at home, they can get on another 3-0 run and maybe 4-0 if they beat Philly before facing.

MEM, SA, LAC, NY, and Brooklyn

Gotta get it going before they run into that buzz saw.

Things can turn on a dime. We got some feel good lately and it has been fun. We are about to either get some more of that, or this could get ugly quick.

Funnyeeee

Not related but I hope the all star break will allow Nene to heal up properly. I wish we could rest him now because at full strength he is special.

Yeah, I heard when he's healthy he can make layups.

Accept that Ves will never be the heart of the franchise Hands, much-less be in the NBA too-much longer.

Wall better start. Im not upset as of yet because I called it when he came back that I felt that they would have a plan for him to ride the bench for the whole trip and start fresh when we come back home. Time to get his feet wet, build his stamina up, and make his 1st start in the comfort of home. If he doesnt start then there is a problem.

As for the game, we should definitely win. Not only are they without Love but also without there other best player who's name I dont wanna chop up right now.....lol

Love your work Ghosts.

When did Rubio come back?

Dat2U · Post #14 » by **Dat2U** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:20 am

Is it too late to trade Wall for Rubio?

Halcyon · Post #15 » by **Halcyon** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:21 am

Love your GTs, always well done and funny. Hope Wall starts as you predict

TheKingOfVa360 · Post #16 » by **TheKingOfVa360** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:51 am

Great GT , Ves should be playing over Booker for this game. Booker hasn't done much since he came back imo

Booker has averaged 6 points, 12.5 boards, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks (per 36 minutes) on 50% shooting since his return. The team is +6 with him on the court over that stretch (and +0 with him off).
