First place is close. How's Crittenton's shot? Never used him.

I think they have his shot in the game the same as Steve Francis' to be honest iirc.

Assuming that was your question.

Otherwise, his shot needs some work. He's better driving to the basket as he has the handles and athleticism to do so. But I've nailed some 3's and mid range jumpers with him. But he's not a player I would want taking a shot in the clutch. At least not before a healthy dose of drills lol.

Quote Of The Game:
"One of the most important things you can do to get a win on the road is knock down your free throws and get the other team's home crowd to shut up. We didn't even realize we went 100% from the free throw line until you guys (reporters) started asking about it." - Rasheed Wallace

T'Wolves got a nice team. But your team is better.

Gerald Green gets ready to elevate for an alley-oop pass early in the 2nd quarter that proved to be a real turning point in this matchup.


A little bit late, my first ever alley-oop on NBA 2k9.

Quote Of The Game:
"Nothing went our way out there early on. Our offense looked out of sync, guys weren't on the same page, shots weren't falling. Everything that could've possibly went wrong, did go wrong in that 1st quarter. Gerald and Sean came into the game in the 2nd quarter and played with the energy you wouldn't normally see when your team was down 20. It rubbed off on everyone though and from there we just chipped away at it until we took the lead in the final minute of regulation to come out on top." - Pacers Head Coach Jim O' Brien

congrats on the first alley-oop lol

[mfbmike]

LOL. So, that 1st quarter blew ass!

Shaun Livingston scored all of his points in the 1st quarter. He came in because G. Wall got into foul trouble so they moved Raja to 3 and he played the 2 and tore me up. Never saw him after that though which made no sense.

In the game's final seconds, they give the ball to none other than Raymond Felton. And like the choke artist he is, misses a pretty good looking shot allowing me to get the win.

Nice comeback, first alley-oop ever though, thats suprising, good job though lol

[Mit]

Nice win. Your offense was pretty spread out.

[LC AAU]

First alley oop in over what, 200-250 games?

[mfbmike]

damn 41-18 in 1st quarter...nice come back win with out danny granger

It was stupid. The Bobcats are rediculously good at clogging passing lanes. I had so many turnovers.

Nice comeback, first alley-oop ever though, thats suprising, good job though lol

First alley oop in over what, 200-250 games?

rofl, I don't know. I used to do alley oops all the time in 2k8. This is the first I've been able to complete. :D I was stoked. And like the caption says, after that play it seems like that was the exact point I started getting back into it.

Gerald Motherfucking Green!

:jhenbeatkwon:

He's a human highlight reel. lol.

[Len B]

Go figure Bobcats lost a 10+ point lead. Didn't think it was possible...
