Game Grades Thread December (11/23 - 12/30)

[Chinook]

Hey guys,

I want to thank everyone who's contributed so far. We only dropped one game -- even with the site being down nonsense. That's a testament to the hard work of a number of posters who made the OPs and the community in general for participating in the discussion as well as providing encouragement and criticism. Personally, it makes it so much easier to do things like this when I feel like it means something to others, so thanks again.

Here's what we have through the end of November:

As before, it's a first come, first served system. So let me know which date you want, and I'll update the OP. I'm hoping to get a more diversified collection of people. Hopefully some schedules have cleared up and some folks who were hesitant last month might be more willing this time around. Also, if you have committed to a date but can't do the grades that day, just say so in this thread so that others can see it and either switch or sub in.

[From Downtown]

I can do the first game vs Washington if nobody else wants it

[Boomersgold]

It's been a while since I've done one. I'll do the grades for the Portland game on Friday, the 23rd.

Edited: Selected a different game.

[100%duncan]

Can I take Dec 22 @ Clipps?

Awesome guys. Thanks. All updated.

Thanks. Good work keeping this shit going :tu

[Robz4000]

I'll take the @Phoenix game.

[Chinook]

Updated. Thanks.

Robz400 is doing TIMvps job now, basically. :lol

I love the format of having different graders though. It makes it possible to invest the proper amount of time to make a decent evaluation...When one guy does it all, you'll have a few game thats most likely poorly evaluated due to Fatigue, teduiousness etc.

Agreed, and it's also nice to see everyone's own opinion; we all can see the games in different ways so it's nice to see if other posters notice something you may have otherwise missed.

Also, it helps avoid the bias of having one viewpoint on a player. You don't just have CoG, CoP, CoK, CoM or CoA interpretations.

Why did you list CoG above everyone else? Why is CoP ahead of CoM? There's a CoA? What is this I don't even.

[AaronY]

Thanks for doing this op

[Chinook]

Why did you list CoG above everyone else?

Because CoG is the best, obviously.

[SAGirl]

I will do tuesday Dec. 6 against Minnesota.

Glad to see you're not SAGing off. Updated. Thanks.

[$pursDynasty]

Man who was supposed to do the Kings game when ST was down? MVParker's averages would have been helped by that +30 +/- performance

[SAGirl]

Glad to see you're not SAGing off. Updated. Thanks.
Nah....
I have tuned off the KA hate at this point bc it's so excessive... It stopped being funny some time ago too.

[SAGirl]

You can volunteer to do one... these things are better with more variety in opinions anyways. You know not all fans are player fans or player hate crew fans...
I will try to take after raybies and do mine with a favorable outlook no matter who is playing (unless they happen to lose to Minnesota... :lol)... There is just too much negativity all around for a team that is winning and doing so well.

[Chinook]

There was a grades thread over on the backup site. Pretty sure Splits game Tony and A.

[Cry Havoc]

Just curious, for my game grades which tend to become more elaborate than I initially plan, should I continue to include the photos, or do you guys find them unnecessary?

I don't want to tell you how to do your own thread. The point of the different posters do these is so they can make the however they want. So long as they have a letter grade, I don't mind.

But I never found the pics "necessary". We haven't had them all season so far, and no one seems to be hurtin'. At least not for certain.

[SAGirl]

I liked your humor frankly
What I like the most about all these aside from reading different opinions is the personality and different perspectives. I'd encourage you to do you. :tu

[RodNIc91]

I'd like the New Orleans game or the Houston game! I wanna give it a try

[Chinook]

I'd like the New Orleans game or the Houston game! I wanna give it a try

Sure thing. Which would you prefer?

[RodNIc91]

Sure thing. Which would you prefer?
The Houston game would be fine.

[tonight...you]

Just curious, for my game grades which tend to become more elaborate than I initially plan, should I continue to include the photos, or do you guys find them unnecessary?
Dude, you're awesome.
Do your thing. Please.

[rastaspur]

Put me down for the dec. 20th game vs. James harden and the pips

Edit: someone already asked. No worries.

Please just put me down for dec 8th against the bulls.

[Dex]

I'll take the Phoenix game on the 28th if it's still open.

[San Antonio Slayer]

my english is not so fluent to contribute, but it's a great idea to make the grades with pics and gifs! thanx in advance!

[Chinook]

Well we'll be having like 50-plus more game threads after next month so you have plenty of time to decide if you want to take the plunge.

[Chinook]

We're down to two games, people. We have 12/5 at MKE and 12/18 vs NO. Get 'em while they're hot. dabom ? TD21 ? gambit1990 ? Hoops Czar ?

Sorry for the late reply. I can't see mentions/quote replies due to the ban. I'll be ready. I'll PM them to you shortly after the game tonight.

Thanks for coordinating this. it is much appreciated and gives everybody an opportunity to contribute. Good stuff.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Actually, 12/30 is my mom's birthday, I may have to wait till January to do one.

Ya - honestly just been a little unmotivated and I'm all in on what you are doing with trying to get the community involved so I have stepped back some to hopefully see that flourish.

[Robz4000]

Gotta keep this on the first page

[SAGirl]

rastaspur has the TnT game Thursday.

[Robz4000]

Anybody wanna take over grades for tonight? Not sure I'd be able to get them out in a decent enough time frame.

[SAGirl]

I can't . Game not on national tv and I can't say I will be able to catch it...

[313]

Sorry for late notice but I'm being dragged out to a Christmas party so I won't be home for the game..

[RodNIc91]

Could somebody take the game grades for tomorrow? I'm stuck with my undergrad thesis so I won't be able to do them, or watch any game until the 10th of January fwiw…

[Cry Havoc]

I can do some brief ones if no one else does but I doubt I'll be able to watch the entire game, it's getting busy with Christmas in 5 days.

[Robz4000]

You doing them right now by any chance? If not I'll do them.

Welp, doing them regardless.

[Chinook]

You ready for this, 100%duncan ? I hear Pop is sitting Manu just so you'd get a chance to grade Anderson.

CH said he can’t do it, I can if no one will.

[TheDoctor]

Can someone point me to the DEC 18 vs PELICANS game grades thread?

Can't find it. It's the only one missing for my 21-30 Game Grades AVG "analysis". I know Im late for that one, Xmas are complicated you know :hat

I'm up to date for the next batch tho (31-40 games).

Pretty sure 313 didn't get that thread out. If you want, you can just grade them off the box score: http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400899854

It was a great game by Manu and a pretty ho-hum performance by everyone else. Or you can just omit it.

[Cry Havoc]

Petition to prohibit FkLA from being given game grade assignments in the future. He had one shot and is already using it to promote his troll agenda and start arguments in the thread.

We can do better than that.

[Chinook]

Anyone is welcome to sign up. I wouldn't exclude someone who's willing to put in the time and effort to do these grades. You know how long they can take as well as anyone, Cry. It's not like he's doing them every game in any case.

[apalisoc_9]

People at hating FKLA logic about Parker last night :lol

Ridiculous double standard. If a gradesr sees it that a player is being detrimental by being a huge reason for the best player not having any FG in 8 straight minutes while he was shooting 70% he should have every right to grade it as it is...

Spursfans hated Kobe, westbrook for zoning out Durant and Shaq...saying shaq didnt attempt a fg in 6 strsight minutes or Durant was cooking but didnt touch the ball for 6 straight minutes..

Now all of a sudden it's ok..because it doesnt matter who takes the shot? :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Chinook any game opening I can do tbh?

[TheGreatYacht]

Preferably against a good team when Kiwi foils
