Good luck! Hope you stick with this one!

[MrHeraklinos]

Nice choice, I really like the thunder, you better keep Durant as the star

[maksie]

[MrHeraklinos]

Nice 2-0 start! Durant was a beast against the piston, I can barely get 2 steals with any of my players, I don't know how you pulled off 7

[Bucket]

KD and Westbrook had a huge games Nice start

Eric Gordon joins the Oklahoma City Thunder

(AP)--Just hours after the OKC Thunder improve to 7-1 they accepted a trade offer from the Clippers.After James Harden was placed on the trading block a lot of offers come in.But the Eric Gordon's one was the best.The Thunder sent Harden and the first rounder from the 2012 NBA Draft to the Clippers.
Gordon has 2 years left on his contract.The shooting guard from Indiana said that he's extremely happy to join the young force in the face of the Thunder.Gordon is averaging 16.3 ppg,2.7rpg and 1.8 apg from the start of the season.He also said that he thinks there will be a Thunderstorm throughout the whole NBA Season.

well,something got wrong with the uploading the boxscores to 2ksports.com and so here's quick week recap

WEEK 4



Ginobili's clutch and-one was a nightmare start of the week for the Thunder

SPURS 28 | 30 | 22 | 22 | 102

THUNDER 25 | 14 | 26 | 29 | 94


The Thunder started of to a slow start and they were trailing 19 points at the half.Very good defense in the second gave them the opportunity to even the game.Kevin Durant was on fire as he scored 17 points in the 3rd quarter.Russell Westbrook and Eric Gordon helped him with some good plays also.Durant scored a good and-one basket minute before the end and the result was 94-92 for the Spurs,but he missed the FT.Then it came the big moment for the Spurs,34 seconds before the end the game was saved by Manu Ginobili,who was the only one who played for the big three.Duncan missed the game,while Parker was injured in the third.Manu scored as you can see on the pic and then the Spurs won the game.

Kevin Durant - 29 points,3 rebs,5 assists
Russell Westbrook - 22pts,5 rebs,8ast,3steals
Eric Gordon - 14 pts,3 rebs,4 ast

The Oklahoma City Thunder are now on a 3 game losing streak.The Wolves were on the run after beating the champions from LA Lakers in their previous game.OKC thought they wouldn't have problems beating Minnesota and that caused them troubles.Despite leading at the half they lost the game in the 3rd.In the start of the 4th quarter the Wolves led 71-64.The OKC Thunder superstar,Kevin Durant,went for a career-high in points after dropping 49 points tonight.He was 7-11 from the 3pt line.But that was not enough to secure the win.Nine seconds before the end of the game he scored a mid-range shot to tie the game but the rookie Wes Johnson scored his first ever game-winner at the buzzer.

Nice week! Anyways, what application did you use to make those charts above? Is it Photoshop? How about GIMP? Can you make that kind of chart in GIMP?
