Real Deal

Well, to be honest, Lesnar is really all they have in the Heavyweight division, and he's also their future. Sucks.

No Fedor, ever, then...because I don't ever seen M-1 co-promoting with UFC.

Griffin is going to taste a hell of a knee. For some reason, I see it happening, first or second round. Forrest has been doubted before, big underdog, and came out on top...but man, I just don't see him taking out Silva. As for BJ Penn, never liked him, and I'll be rooting for Florian. I just don't know about that fight, either, because Penn is out for blood, and I do believe he'll come out ready to tear Kenny apart. Hope not, but it's very possible it won't even be a contest.

It doesn't make sense to me. Fedor is rumored to be the greatest MMA fighter alive. He'd be undefeated if not for a fluke loss. So why not stand on the grandest stage for MMA fighters (in the United States and Canada, at least) and prove your value?

I think that there's a huge drop in contention from the top three teams in the East (BOS, CLE and ORL). The Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets, Mavericks, Hornets and maybe the Jazz and Blazers...I would not be surprised to see any of those teams in the Conference Finals. The East may be more interesting leading up to the playoffs, though, for that very reason. You just don't really know who's going to get in for those last 3-4 seeds until that final week, maybe final two days. So is the power shifting? Well, I just saw the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Celtics, Magic and Cavaliers get stronger...so I don't know. Was it shifting last season? If not, then I can't say it is this season, either.

Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Fisher and either Odom or Bynum. Five players for the last two championship NBA teams (LA and Boston). Orlando gets four for being in the Finals.

Cleveland Cavaliers. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/index.php?/forum/16-cleveland-cavaliers-team-forum LeBron, Shaq and Mo Williams. NOW I gotta run.

Chicago Bulls are finished. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/index.php?/forum/15-chicago-bulls-team-forum Rose, Deng and Salmons on the banners. Gonna cook some dinner. I'll be back in an hour.

Boston Celtics are ready. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/index.php?/forum/13-boston-celtics-team-forum Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Rasheed Wallace are on the banners. And...the Charlotte Bobcats are ready. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/index.php?/forum/14-charlotte-bobcats-team-forum Gerald Wallace, Raymond Felton and DJ Augustin for the banners.

By the way, I would advise against any skin changes until I release that particular skin. For example, I have a few of them available in the skin selector, but you may run into an error if you select the Chicago Bulls skin, or the Cavs. And that error will keep you off the forums until I fix the skin, because you won't be able to change back.

Couldn't tell ya. Looks like a wallpaper design. N4S hooked us up with it a long, long time ago, and according to a lot of people on the old OTR, it was one of their favorites.

The Atlanta Hawks skin is finished and has been applied to the team forum. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/index.php?/forum/12-atlanta-hawks-team-forum/ Banners are of Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Al Horford. Boston's skin needs a couple of edits. It's up next (and I'm going in alphabetical order). Also, all skins will be selectable through the drop-down menu, so your main forums (non-team forums) can be styled with your favorite team's skin, or the default OTRBasketball one.

Did all of you guys come from ISH?

Haha, our lists would be similar. I don't really remember Justin at JBB, though...but I'd add Swish, and I believe Aaron was over there when I was, and Bosnian (who was being attacked by the Sonics fans), and wasn't Slaven on JBB? Don't forget Erin and Jesse (although neither are with us anymore). It was Erin, Jesse and Dee that led me to create OTR, actually.

Out of all the OTR members, which have you known the longest?

He got that jacket from DJ Jazzy Jeff, I swear.

Well, uh, they could put him on the o-line...I guess. He may need to gain a hundred pounds or so. Maybe Big Ben is going to play tight end? No reason for this, at all.

Bad for him, good for us. Hope he gets better, though. Can't wish injuries on anyone.

Both resolutions are working fine for me. I'm using 1440x900 on my desktop, checked FF, IE and Opera...and 1024x768 is fine on my laptop, FF, IE and Opera. And Safari is fine on my iPhone. Not sure what's giving you trouble. Have you cleared cookies and temp files (cache)?

Resolution and browser software, please.

Just needed to recache the skins through the ACP, that's all.

He should be fine now.

That reminds me...Griffey had the prettiest swing I've ever seen in baseball. It almost looked like he wasn't even trying.

You are using the wrong definition of inconsistency. You ever seen Zach Randolph play? He averages 21/10 on almost 48% from the field. What do you think about him? Players can be inconsistent and still put up good numbers. Odom is a "per quarter" player. He'll do you good for a quarter or two, then do nothing for the other couple. One game he's Garnett, and the next he's Darius Miles. That's inconsistency, and that's why he doesn't deserve any more than the $8 million he's getting from us.

Sun Yue was never going to be good. He was overrated from the time he blocked Howard from behind in the China/USA game, up until the draft, and then slightly overrated beyond that.
