    I think they're definitively better for the following reasons:

    1) They're done right after the game is finished

    2) It makes us debate about the game and post our opinions there vs. another story written on the nets posted on ST

    3) It takes pressure out of timvp for doing the game thoughts

    4) At least we get something from LJ vs. someone starting a ing thread because we didn't get the Game Thoughts at all or we got them too late or right before the next game

    5) There's probably less editing involved and we get a more spontaneous version of timvp's writing

    I'm sure he must make some money from owning the forum. Why not both?

    Good take uru I agree. Of course having both is better but to choose I prefer the IR vs. GT.

    Just going on what's been posted here over the years:

    There are no ads, there are no membership fees. Kori and timvp own and operate SpursTalk, and they foot all the bills to do so.

    Actually, I think it's really just Kori's.

    Bolded reasons suck ass, and I'd say that timvp is allowed more time to gather himself and reflect for GTs.

    And you too on #4. I can't help it I have an addiction.

    I just prefer in-depth evaluation over quick and dirty info. But I am happy with either one.

    butt hurt because i called you out on the whining ing threads you opened because you didn't get the GT?

    Dude... read the Reaction threads.. he doesn't really need a whole lot more thinking time to call the game as it was and share with us his insights of it...

    The game thoughts were amazing. I really liked them more. I miss them.

    I vote for Initial Reactions as well. It seems to help organize post-game discussion.

    But ultimately, whatever is easiest for timvp.

    For the record .......

    -My plan is to do IR and GT for each game from here on out. GT's take me a while to produce so they will probably be done by the next afternoon.

    -I'll be test driving a third aspect tonight. We'll see if it's worthwhile or not.

    -SpursTalk doesn't make any money. The only money made off the site I know of is that mookie2001 gets paid $50 a month for having that "Tragedy & Hope" book cover in his sig.

    -timvp doesn't engage in pimping nor pandering.

    Cool. The original game thoughts are great; doing two, possibly three, versions is incredible. Thanks for the time you put into them, they really are the best breakdown of the Spurs out there. It's special to have our team looked at by a true fan who knows the game.

    Having both would be great. And I'm looking forward to that mysterious "third aspect". Thanks again for your great work and dedication.

    Thanks timvp... I was just joking with the pimp kind of comment i hope u got that same feeling

    Also... i forgot to open this thread with a Poll and the idea of doing it at all was also preventing future rants when somehow you cannot put together the GT... any of your writing/insights on the Spurs are the reason why many of us kept coming here and became regular posters/lurkers/trolls or whatever... I admire your writing that's why i'll be a lifetime fan of this site... thanks for doing what u do
