Calendar thread for games grades/thoughts

[Bruno]

After each game, it's nice to have a thread with a poster giving his thought on different players performance. It gives a summary for people who haven't seen the game and it's a good starting point to have some talks about specific points/players.

In previous years, it was the great timvp, who was doing it. Since he is now less active here, it is time for us to step up.

So, if you want to grade a game, just say it in this thread and pick the game you want to write about. The purpose of this thread is to avoid having two posters writing about the same game.

One last thing, it's just an internet message board. You don't need to write a novel, be a basketball expert, write in a perfect English or post it just after the game. Don't hesitate if you're interested in trying one game. If you don't fell giving grades, game thoughts are fine too. It should remain something fun and casual to do.

If you want to pick a game, just post it in this thread:
Tue, Jan 28: @ Houston => polandprzem
Wed, Jan 29: vs Chicago => cd021
Sat, Feb 1: vs Sacramento
Mon, Feb 3: @ New Orleans => Amuseddaysleeper
Wed, Feb 5 : @ Washington
Thu, Feb 6: @ Brooklyn
Sat, Feb 8: @ Charlotte => ajballer4
Mon, Feb 10: @ Detroit
Wed, Feb 12: @ Boston
Tue, Feb 18: @ Clippers => HarlemHeat37
Wed, Feb 19: @ Portland => HarlemHeat37
Fri, Feb 21: @ Phoenix => polandprzem

If you want to pick a game when you know you will be available beyond these games, you're welcome to do so. I just assume it might be too far in the future to be sure about your availabilities.

Thanks to all.

[Bruno]

I put Amuseddaysleeper for the Raptors game if he is still fine with it.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

i can try the thunder game tonight

Thanks Bruno

[Bruno]

One last thing, don't feel obligated in away way to do game grades. If it doesn't work because there isn't enough people willing to do it, it won't be a big deal. No pressure.

[Bruno]

OK.

[Andthentherewas21]

Thanks for the work Bruno and those that contribute. Hopefully it stays fairly unbiased, but it will be nice to have some insightful takes especially for those of us that don't have regular access to the games.

[polandprzem]

I can try Sacto game. Hopefully I'll manage

[Bruno]

I can try Sacto game. Hopefully I'll manage

Nice, I loved your grades back in the day. :tu

[benefactor]

Good idea. I'll pick one and let you know. Need to find one that lines up with my work schedule so I can watch it live.

[heyheymymy]

great idea. last season was incredible, running to ST a few hrs after the game to catch the fresh game thoughts thread timvp put out. great way to share ideas on the progress of our fav team. i'm not a total GNSF, but most of the technical breakdowns and stats were enlightening to me and furthered my understanding of the game.

[polandprzem]

Nice, I loved your grades back in the day. :tu


I never had grades :)

It was more like spurs situation in a span of week or two - polands perspective :)

I'm surprised yo liked it - thanks

Don't hesitate if you're interested in trying one game. If you don't fell giving grades, game thoughts are fine too. It should remain something fun and casual to do.

So, a list of the next Spurs 10 games, if you want to write about one just say it in this thread and I will add your name:
Sat, Dec 21: vs Oklahoma City => N0 LyF3 ScRuB
Mon, Dec 23: vs Toronto => Amuseddaysleeper
Wed, Dec 25: vs Houston
Thu, Dec 26: @ Dallas
Sun, Dec 29: vs Sacramento => polandprzem
Tue, Dec 31: vs Brooklyn
Thu, Jan 2: vs New York
Sat, Jan 4: vs L.A. Clippers
Tue, Jan 7: @ Memphis
Wed, Jan 8: vs Dallas

I should be good for 12/26 Dallas and a couple of others. We'll start with that though.

[mute]

Can I do Brooklyn?

[HarlemHeat37]

Oh God, No Lyfe Scrub's game thoughts:lmao..

[Bruno]

Can I do Brooklyn?

Sure, you can

[Robz4000]

I'll try for the Knicks game.

[Cry Havoc]

I'll do memphis also

[RD2191]

I'd give it a shot but I need more time to learn the game of basketball:lol

[Bruno]

BTW, if you can't or don't want anymore to do the game grades for a game, just tell it as soon as you know it. It will give time to a potential replacement "grader" to step up.

As long as it doesn't happen too often, I might be able to do grades for most of the games that nobody is willing to grade and when the "grader" isn't able to do it. I fin that doing game grades is fun when you do it once in a while and not every two days.

If you want to do a game that is beyond the next 10 games, just look at the schedule and tell which game. I didn't want to put more than 10 games because it becomes kinda hard to know if you will be available at a specific date 3 or 4 weeks in the future, but I'm not limiting you at picking in the next 10 games.

[spurraider21]

I'm surprised a spurstalk thread had lasted this long without no lyfe scrub calling OP a faggot

[spursfaninla]

I can do Jan 4 against clippers.

[Libri]

Bruno with a good reminder that there is no need to write a PhD thesis when analyzing games. :lol

[biziofromdowntown]

I've to improve my english before... :( Thnx in advice to everyone will post grades and thoughts, really appreciate from beyond the sea.

[Brazil]

Oh God, No Lyfe Scrub's game thoughts:lmao..

:lol let him give it a try

hope you will pick a game again, loved your grades last time :tu

[capek]

I could do a write up for the Houston game since I'll be going to that one. I haven't been super active on this forum this season because of 3T, but this would be a good excuse to change that a bit.

[apalisoc_9]

Would love to do one but English isn't my first language and it's not even my fourth :lol...Would take at least 3 hours to come up with something decent.

[objective]

i can do JAN 8, the last remaining

[Bruno]

Great, first 10 games have been picked. Props to all. :tu
As I said in the opening post, you can pick a game beyond that if you're sure you'll be available for it.
I'll bump this thread again in early January for the following 10 games if that system works.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

My NBATV is out so I can't do tonights. I'll post another time or switch with someone

[Bruno]

Well, I will then do grades for the game in a few hours. Just the time for me to watch it and write about it.

[capek]

fml I got confused on the whereabouts of the Houston game. For some reason I thought it was a Rockets home game. Gotta pull out in this case, as I'll be entertaining an out of town guest, and it'll be too difficult to watch on TV and write up while making sure she's having a good time. I'll do the game where the Spurs play in Houston.

[objective]

Bruno, I'll take the Houston Christmas game instead and give up the other one for now.

Hey Bruno Slomo cannot do that ? (Change hornets to pelicans) that's a bit lame for pelican fans... It has been a while. They won't die obviously but I'm sure it's quick to do it.

Brunski,

Time Warner insists i buy the whole NBA league pass or nothing. 199 bucks.
They will not sell this one game.
Thus i will be unable to view.
Sorry.

Board can we have a replacement volunteer?

Time to make new assignments IMO
