ThisIsTheSlam.comHappy October 31st! Do you know what today is? That's right: It's Opening Day for the 2006-2007 NBA Season! Booyah! We've been waiting for this day since the Mavs got hoodwinked out of a Championship Trophy a few months ago. Unfortunately, we've never felt comfortable using the Firewheel blog to yap about our professional basketball bias. Instead we decided to build a new site.

And since today is Opening Day for the NBA, we're going to declare it Opening Day for ThisIsTheSlam.com as well. If you're an NBA fan, we think you're going to like this. ThisIsTheSlam.com is structured much like a blog, covering the latest in league news, fashion, trades, rumors, and anything else we find noteworthy. You can read, comment, browse, etc., but there's a twist to it all: Your comments can be given point (AKA Props) by other readers. Accumulate enough Props, and what you have to say might become "The Slam." Props and Slams give your account points, and we track our best smack talkers on the Leaderboards. And there might just be prizes in the near future.

Add all that to the ability to dress-up the site according to your favorite team colors, and we think we'll have you covered for the upcoming NBA season. Get Slammin!

jordan fowler says

Hey, you need to add a trash talk section where we all type in our street smartbutt comments. Example-when a team mate is giving you grief for a bad pass..."You all off in kool-aid but you don't even know my flava...back it"

Josh Williams says

Jordan... you can already do that (moron!). You have to create an account first though... Don't worry folks. Jordan is a friend. An ofttimes slow friend.

Paul Redmond says

I don't know who to hate worse now...JDUB or Bill Walton.

los says

Oh man, Bill Walton BY FAR! Haven't found anything wrong with jdub, but Walton is so annoying that I won't even watch the game if he is broadcasting. (Well, that's not entirely true, I love basketball too much for him to ruin it for me, but I do sit back and roll my eyes every time he speaks. :p)

Can you add a Game Day section where we can talk about each game, make predictions, bash on each others teams? Maybe keep it separate from the blog so the blog doesn't get cluttered with 1230 some game posts.

Josh Williams says

Paul - That's rough man. You'll never hear me telling somebody to "Throw it dowwwn!" while wearing a tie-dyed t-shirt. Where's the love? ; )

Josh,
Sorry...I need a thread tracker to help me remember which conversations I've taken place in (besides looking at my server logs 2 months later).

I was just messin'...nobody could ever beat Billy

I really like the ideas you implemented at "This is the slam"
