This is great here.

Haha! This is awesome! Figures B-Hop would have 53 points with 8 minutes left still!

Is the coach gonna sit him with a moderate lead? Or is Coach a fan of going for broke (and league records)?

He's just having a hot night! Feet are quick, legs are jumping, even the contested looks are turning into buckets-- heh, what's a bunny to do?

Heh, I'll have to tell you about the Thrust's coach sometime. Yeah, he'd sit Lucky 7 down. Especially during the playoffs. He knows B-Hop would try to run up the score-- and being a prey animal, some big wolf would probably flagrant him!

Yeah, you don't want to get leveled during a game that is already won. Especially in the Playoffs!

While it's good to keep playing a game as if you're still trying to win, one also needs to know that you shouldn't exhaust yourself or other players on only one night.

Pic does look rather good, though. Love the broadcast graphics. Hmmm, I guess HDTV in this world would promise a Fuzzier picture.

You know, despite B-Hop just going to town on the court, the Thrust are only up by 15. The Clefs could still steal this one, especially since they've got the underrated  rabitguy on the team, who can be a powerful defensive presence on the court.

Though, that defensive presence doesn't seem to be slowing down Lucky Number 7 tonight.

Heh! Yeah, I went a little heavy on the grain for this one-- maybe the Thrust's court needs to have the lighting redone.

Whoa, awesome! He's on a roll isn't he? 53 points with 8 minutes left? Lol, even the commentators are tired of his decimation of the opposition. I love the background, the little digital scoreboard-things (whatever they call them) and Buck himself. Seriously, is there PCP in that carrot juice of his or something? He is very light on his feet and where is the oppostion's defence? Have they dug themselves a WW1-style trench complete with machine guns and barbed wire to protect their net?

That's one of the things that's funny about basketball-- I think because the teams are so small and that they depend so heavily on individual performances, if one player's having a good day and one player is having a bad one, it can make all the difference in the world. Just look at how KG gets injured and suddenly, the Celtics don't have a prayer of getting to the finals. Or how a phenomenally talented Houston completely outplayed the Lakers, but once they lost Yao and Mutombo, they just couldn't get the W's.

A game like this, B-Hop was just having a hot night, and the Clefs' usual defensive strategies were just not clicking. Maybe someone was playing injured, maybe someone didn't get enough sleep, you never know-- all you know is B-Hop is going to be all over TVFS-HD's highlights show the next morning!

Hmm, I guess when you have small teams like basketball it really depends on 1 individual's performance, unlike football (or soccer as you call it) where it really depends on the whole team. Tell that to Man U (noooo! They lost to Barcelona! Why, devils, Whyyyyy????!!!!!) I guess a similar situation happens in F1: There may be hundreds of personnel on an F1 team but it all depends on the performance of the two drivers in each of their cars

But how is he on DEFENSE? You know, where games are actually won. :)

He's got the defensive stance down, that piercing stare, the reflexes to counter any action.

This bunny's the full package! ;)

I'd say he'd have a full package, but he's a bunny, you know how often they empt... oh, hey look over there!

Funny you should ask, XL! JT was asking me about the rest of the Thrust starting lineup at RCFM. While B-Hop is certainly a stronger offensive presence than he is defensive, he's paired up with a gecko shooting guard who's all D. Sticky fingers that can snag the rock off a weak pass, a long tail for poking the ball out of a guy's paws, a long tongue for reaching those high-up rebounds-- if he guards you, you're just lucky if you can pass the ball around him!

And yeah, I was thinking of your character when I dreamed him up.

*chuckles* Why don't I just play for the Thrust then? :P

Looks like you just made the team.

Hey, I've been meaning to ask. What city is the Thrust from? Is it the Sacramento Thrust?

And another random question... do furry leagues have mascots? I mean since they're already animals..... do the Thrust have a big inflatable rocket for a mascot? ;)

Well, I've seen the Layleaux Thrust, but, that could just be because that was the city the MU* I saw him in was based in...

Uh... yeeeeeeah...

When I first made up the Thrust, I called them the Layleaux Thrust, but that's because Buck Hopper started off as a character on TapestriesMUCK, and that's the name of the land it takes place in. Since bringing the character to FA, I've wanted to get rid of the Layleaux reference since it's not original.

At the moment, I don't have a city for any of the current FBA teams, except for the West Corner Mayors... though, that, too, is a MUCK reference to FM. I should think up some original city names-- though I suppose I could use real cities. Maybe instead of cities that have NBA teams, we could use smaller towns. Stockton Thrust? Savannah Mayors?

Hah!! I hadn't even thought about mascots. Good grief-- I have no idea what the Clefs or the Taproots would use for mascots. But hey, every team needs their pep squad. They certainly have cheerleaders in the FBA!

I think it could be real cities, big, small, whatever! I always like giving love to the smaller cities, myself. No LA, NY and the like. So it would be more like... more like the D-League. Fort Wayne Mad Ants! YES!!!

Plus, it makes it more your own, rather than using Sacramento as the city just because the colors and design of the jersey are similar.

Gnaw Bone Indiana needs a team.

Perhaps the Gnaw Bone Flea Markets?

Holy shit. O.=.o How did I miss these pictures out! I never knew you drew. You should keep going It's litterally like looking at the.. telly ya know?
