Let me know what you think

I've been posting on this message board for upwards of 6 years. I highly value the basketball opinions on this board so I wanted your opinion. My friends and I started our own blog writing about NBA topics. Let me know what you guys think.

TP.  Looked good.  I skimmed through and thought you had some nice stuff in there. 

"Number 9:  Isn't there some other team you can pick on?"  Good one.

Thank you for reading TP right back at you.

Just put it in my favorites.  Always good to support fellow Celticsbloggers.

Best of Luck!!

nice work bro. The key is to sustain the content. Other blogs tend to drop off in production after a length of time

It's hard for me to take a blog seriously when it has typo's in the "about the author" section, as well as the first post I'm exposed to (Central Division Roundup, second paragraph).

Read more NBA blogs, especially the good ones (Classical, Grantland, Basketball Jones, Ball Don't Lie, etc.) to get a feel for what you want your style to be, and develop your content around that style--eventually you'll build up enough of a style guide that you can confidently project your work out there to the web as a unique and interesting voice in the basketball community.

I'd also work on some formatting--the sections tend to blur together after a while (especially in your divisional roundups), and some of the jokes lose a little bit of their punch as a result.


If you haven't used some kind of analytics software (like Google Analytics, etc.) to track your traffic, you should do that.

It's a good start dude, and please don't think I'm trying to be a jerk, 'cause I'm always looking for more to read. Also, the name is gold-plated gold. Keep that. If you have any friends who are graphic designers, see if you can trade them a twelve pack for a logo.

I appreciate the info. I'll do better to make sure that there aren't any typo's
