    Defense is better, more aggressive, the roster actually is not a good defensive roster so they need to be aggressive

    I don't know if there's another poll option to add, Mods feel free to add another one if you want. I wanted to see the opinions on this question but didn't know how to cover all potential responses.

    This looks great @BonesJones just an honest question, do you think in the future you'll be able to get these threads up sooner?

    As far as our defense goes, we need more time to see if this roster can pull it off consistently but I like where Chauncey's head is at and that's a huge improvement from the last nine seasons.

    Good job Bones...if I were to add a poll question that suited me it'd be...I was optimistic going into this season and I still am...

    Yeah, I just spent a lot of time building the graphics base and making sure I was satisfied with the dimensions of the graphics. Tried a few different things that I didn't like. I'm happy with this if you guys are.

    It looks fantastic and if getting the threads going relatively soon after the end of the previous game isn't going to be a problem... no offense to @Chris Craig but I'd choose your design. Anyway I really appreciate both of you guys putting in the time.

    Yeah it might take a bit since I have a 2 hour long postgame show to do right after each game but I can do a lot of the prep before hand

    Meh.
    @Chris Craig ’s thread was better. This one seems rather boxed and the plug seems a bit much.
    I mean they put a link up on every thread anyway.
    If you tap on the box using your phone the entire thread goes haywire.
    Seems like he tried to do too much.
    All we need is a game thread. On time.
    Thanks for the effort though.

    Agree being on time is most important.

    Minor suggestions;

    -Don't need such huge team logo in bench unit
    -It would be nice if bench unit depth chart was organized by position as starters are. Maybe a row of backups, row below them of third string, last row of injured or scrubs
    -Stats or info on the matchup, last meetings between teams, teams last 5 games, players stats, etc; as long as it doesn't delay thread creation
