Man, this guy has the sweetest game threads each time he creates one.

yes i agree, even though i have fun making and reading Matt's and mine's amateurish game threads, areg and mk makes the best professional looking game threads for sure.

the realGM should pay this guy to be the designated game thread maker.

Marc Davis and Haywoode Workman are both officiating tonight. :nonono:

Maybe I should just turn it off now.

Javie retired a year or 2 ago.

Davis is the ref that gave us a tech against Memphis in the playoffs when Blake and Reggie gave each other a high five. It just seems like we always get bad calls against us when Workman is working a game.

No goggles for Barnes tonight.

Quake Griffin · Post #12 » by **Quake Griffin** » Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:09 am

i want the goggles to stick like Rip Hammy's face mask.

Love had a great 1st quarter.

side note:

east showed signs of life and gave us a gift.
Raptors beat the Thunder tonight...on OKC's home floor.

we need to gain that game tonight.

Barea is obviously moving on that screen and throwing elbows.

DJ with 3 fouls will be on the bench for the remaining 10 minutes of the 2nd quarter.

TheNewEra · Post #17 » by **TheNewEra** » Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:16 am

DJ needs to mentally check into the game Doc trusted him to go in and he got a tech.

holy hell Blake's hands were straight up.

give us the benefit of the doubt man damn.

TheNewEra · Post #19 » by **TheNewEra** » Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:24 am

Bad night Paul has to go god mode.

Quake Griffin · Post #20 » by **Quake Griffin** » Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:26 am

I actually like that Doc gets techs.

if we can srsly just let him do the bidding for us.
