damn the Kings shot terrible, and you only won by 11 with your FG 58%.

Still keep it up loving it!

Hey FanOfAll what is your process for bring your pics to these forums? Because mine and yours kind of look like they almost the same size/quality. :cool:

I'd also like to say maybe all your pics shouldn't be dunks... throw in something different here and there... you liked my pic of DeClercq's shoes, right..? :lol:

yeah i started relaxing in the 4th and then christie hit those 2 3's and then i fouled him...and i was oh crap...i got a scare, cos even though the kings are now 1-7, they're still a very potent team.

sometimes when there's a dunk and it replays, i try to take a pic of it there. if not, i go to instant replay and take picture of it. i go to PSP, downsize it to 55% (used to be 60%) and save as .jpg.

i definitely liked DeClercq's shoes...really cracked me up, but i'm just not creative enough to do something like that. most other screenshots are just of stats or jump shots...and those can get boring...i'll see...i was thinking about making movies of some of the great plays

. i'm still looking for an AVI editor to downsize the movies and convert to .gif...i've tried a few, they work, but i just don't like them.

Yeah I want to make movies but I don't know the first thing to making them so

(just checking, not mocking you or anything) if you mean "you *do* throw it down a lot, do you" then yeah i do...mostly because I have no outside shooters. anderson and dickau, who i put on the IR, are my only real outside shooters...no one else is very good. so i have resort to a lot of z-bo/sar and rotation offense to get easy baskets.

hey whatever gets the wins...

Have you thought of making any trades for an outside shooter so that you have that option if you need it?

yes, my first article was on trading SAR for brent barry :wink:

. don't blame you for missing that though, i know i've posted a lot of text. one of the main reasons i'm hesistant to pull the trigger is that i want a fair and realistic trade, one that could happen in real life. yes, i want to make salaries match, so it makes it more complicated for me as a GM to pull off a trade. and i'll do the CPU's thinking for it, so i won't offer an aging Dale Davis for a youngster.

the other reason I haven't made a trade is that I'm loving this team. I'm going to post another recap where I totally flattened a very Hornets squad. I want to try to live without a bunch of shooters, other wise I'll end up jacking 3's every game :wink:

. Plus, everyone who *is* tradeable is so valuable, it's hard to part with them.

Sorry about the now updates recently guys...I've been busy with some things like Guild Wars and exams. It's also a pain doing the screenshots and the box scores, do any of you guys have an idea? I have about 3 games' worth of box scores and screenshots and when I get some time I might post them. but of course if you guys stopped caring, i won't :wink:

How long does it take you to do 1 game? It usually takes me 15-25 minutes.

by **FanOfAll** on Tue May 25, 2004 5:13 pm

About 30 minutes...I play 8 minute quarters. Plus all the pausing for subs and stuff like that, it adds up to about 30 minutes.

I was talking about the recaps... my games take me about 1 to 1 and a half hours to play.

by **FanOfAll** on Thu May 27, 2004 10:51 am

Whoops, my bad. About 5 minutes. I have a pretty good memory and used to writing...it's not my favorite thing to do, but whatever will get people to read

. Photos take about 5 minutes (including upload time).

If anyone reads this, what could improve my dynasty? And are you interested in reading about more moves?

Found this in the Oregonian today:

FanOfAll Resigns

Five days after making his first roster moves as GM by releasing Eddie Gil and signing Joseph Forte, Coach and GM FanOfAll has resigned from the Portland Trail Blazers. In a news conference earlier today, FanOfAll cited "personal reasons" and "frustration with the effort and public support" as reasons for his resignation. However, he did "...thank the Portland Trail Blazer players and the organization as a whole for giving me this opportunity. I had a great time here and I'm sad it had to end this way, but I feel this is what needs to be done."

There have, however, been rumors that FanOfAll has invented a time machine and is looking to go back in time to become another team's Coach and GM, most likely the Pistons.

Thanks to everyone who read, followed, and gave input. I just wasn't satisfied and it was a hassle doing the post-game extras. I am really considering doing a Pistons franchise (well more like I have already started, not sure about making a thread though) with a different format for franchise reports.
