    I like it. Quarter-by-quarter summaries are great, imho.

    Kris is one of our contacts at the Blazers. He's been really helpful and supportive. This is something new that he's trying so if you have any helpful suggestions either tweet him https://twitter.com/KrisKoivisto or post them here.

    Neat little summary by the quarter. My only critique is the layout of the fonts. The headings are enormous and the text is tiny, fine pointed fonts and hard to read.

    I'D LOVE TO SEE INSTAGRAM QUARTER BY QUARTER UPDATES, PERHAPS SOMEONE RECORD A QUICK VIDEO ON IG, IT DOESN'T TAKE MORE THAN 15 SECONDS TO DO. OR JUST HAVE SOMEONE READ THE RECAPS BY QUARTER, LEADING SCORERS, ETC. SAVES A TRIP TO ESPN BOXSCORE IF I'M ON THE ROAD.

    Maybe instead of the 5 red boxes at the top that says Highlights, Photos, Game Story, Stats and Quotes you could use icons with titles under them. Game Story's icon should be a picture of Casey's head with "Casey's Coverage" under it instead of Game Story. Maybe add a 6th icon ---> :MARIS61: that links to the game thread since fans tend to overreact during the ebb and flow of the game.

    We're leaning towards only doing post-game images on IG because its content has such a long shelf-life it can become obsolete very quickly.

    That's a good idea. I'll see what we can do.

    Just read your Forensic Fan post, Brian. We'd love to feature them on the site - depending on the timeliness of their completion. Can you shoot me an email to discuss?

    Love those suggestions, Sly. I'll retitle "Game Story" to "Holdahl's Recap" or something alike. I'll also link to the thread -- just try to keep it clean!

    Unfortunately we don't have control over the heading/text sizes and fonts. They're built into the CSS. Thanks for the feedback, though!

    Another thing fishy to me was the burn for The People's champ. Anyone know if he had a nagging injury?
