    First of all, I noticed a lot of you starting threads saying how much you like the forum. Thanks a lot, that's great -- and I just wanted to welcome you all here. There are no real moderators here - timvp (my husband) and I are the admins and we assign some temporary mods while we go to games. Though there isn't a lot of heavy moderation, don't take that as a sign you can troll (most of you don't seem like the trouble making type though). If you guys need anything, timvp and I can probably answer your questions. If you want your le changed (the thing that says "Lottery Pick" under you name) just tell us in this thread and we'll change it.

    Secondly, you guys are right -- this is one of the best basketball boards on the internet for intelligent basketball discussion. But don't let the good times fool you. When the Spurs lose, this board turns to chaos and the fans become as immature as fans anywhere. I'm just warning you guys now.

    Also, you guys inquired about vBookie. I think you figured out that it's fake betting. It's just for bragging rights. Before each game, we start a vbookie (i.e. Who will be the games high scorer? Who will score the last basket? ..) After the game (or series) is over, we pay out the bets and they are added to your total. If you lose all your money and get down to zero dollars, then the next time that we post another vBookie event, you get $25 more and you can start over. You can click on vBookie in the black task bar and see who has won the most, etc.

    The Pistons are a balanced, well-coached team and their success is predicated on great D, just like the Spurs. There will be a lot of terrific matchups to watch in this series. In the end, whoever executes in crunch time will win.

    Spurs in Five.

    I'm not a Detriot fan, but can I get my le changed anyway?

    I'd like for it to say 'I Need a Nap.' Cause that is the one thing that is always true about me.

    Thank you for the great welcome. I look forward to the discussions, and the insight of the Spurs fans.

    I am rather impressed with the community here. It's great to see knowledgable fans give intellegent input. Some other communities I've visited could learn alot from the peeps here.

    Do not! Do not! Do not! and if you don't take that back I am going to hold my breath until you do!

    Kori is right though. We have our share of fans who swear the Apocalype is here when the Spurs lose a game. I think though that comes from their passion for the team and wanting them to be successful...or just that some of them are wack-jobs.

    We retired Miller. We retired Shaq-foo (for the year). Duncan? Are you ready to receive your retirement?

    Spurs are going to drive a stake through the heart of Larry Brown's coaching career. Pop is gonna cry as he puts that old bas out of his misery.

    They ARE retiring, but when Detroit retires people, they never are the same. Look at Shaq?

    The Lakers team that the Pistons dominated last season was a sinking ship that was breaking up on its way down. They are in for a rude awakening if they think the Spurs are just going to roll over and take anything they have to dish out this time around.

    Been there, done that!
    And I'm not talking about last year - 1989 AND 1990.

    Thanks for the kind welcome. I'll be the first and maybe last to take on the "I'm not Mouse" le.
