That game sucked ass. They couldn't miss. Lebron did his thing. Big Z was knocking down mid range jumpers in my face. Troy the same. :fear:

My shooters couldn't hit jack shit either. It was brutal. I really had my heart setting on getting #50 and playing the Sixers in round 1. Oh well.

[LC AAU]

I played the 76ers first two seasons in first round of playoffs. Hawks must fucking be a pain in the ass with Boozer on the team.

[SuperNova854]

his screen shots aren't that clear lol. if he would take the time to make the image smaller it turns a hell of a lot clearer. Only bad part is hat the pic is smaller.

Hawks with Bibby a lot easier than Hawks with Boozer. lol. I'm confident I can beat them in a bast of 7, I just wanted to get out of the 1st round fast. lol.

2009/2010 Final Regular Season Stats And Personal Feedback:

Starters:


Went 16-10 after bringing Andre along in that trade deadline deal. Really good passers seem to be overrated in this game. His contract is up at the end of this season as he only signed a 1 year deal with the Kings last offseason. Completely undecided whether I'm going to bring him back next season. Part of me says yes, the other part says no. Depends on his asking price more than likely.


My best acquisition of this season by far. Jamal's shot is easy to get down and he has the ability to get to the rim. My second scoring option behind Danny. Not to mention, I was able to clog passing lanes and average over 2 steals a game with him. His contract has 1 more year left at 10 million dollars. Pretty pricy but he's worth it in my opinion.


My go to guy. Scoring 71 with him this season was awesome. He actually ended up leading the league in scoring this season. Perhaps the first of many scoring titles for him. Unless I manage to find a way to bring in another big scorer next offseason/season.


Sheed was great when I first got him early in the season. Really gave me a solid presence down low next to Kaman. However, he suffered from some back spams down the stretch and since then, just seemed like he lost a step. Still a decent rebounder and defender but just too slow to really create his own shot on offense. He signed a 1 year deal with the Pistons last season at 7 mill. If he thinks he is getting that much from me, he's got another thing coming, especially with the young guys off the bench who'd be delighted to get the starting job.


Numbers across the board went down every so slightly. Except his free throw shooting which at 80%, is awesome for a big man. All-Star 2 years straight for me alongside Granger. Fell just short of his 2nd consecutive DPOTY award. Can't complain with that. It may be time to make room for Sean Williams though.

Reserves:


This guy does it all, well, except shoot the long ball consistently. At first, I thought trading for him was a bad idea as I couldn't seem to score with him and guys posted him up easily. Once I got his game down, it was a block party. That energy transferred to the offensive side of the ball as well. Very agile and long. Athletic.


Minutes went up this season. Averages went up this season. Free throw shooting a huge liability though. 60% just won't get it done. May find his way into my starting lineup before next season is over, depending how the chips fall.


Rush is a weird player to with, at least for me he was this year. When he was able to start in games, he could easily drop 15+ for me at any given time. Coming off the bench though, it just seemed hard to get him into a scoring groove. He deserves a starting role and can easily shine with one. I just don't see him getting one in Indiana at this point. Crawford is still superior in my opinion.


What can you say about Gerald that people don't already know? Dudes got hops. If I'm ever on a break and I see him running the wing, my eyes light up because you know he's about to bring the house down with a nasty stuff. Athletic and well rounded offensive player.


Developing his outside game a bit has turned this guy into a very versatile combo guard. Not a bad defender at all either because of his size. Very much underrated in this game.


Heh, Deandre. As long as he's content getting paid very little and playing very little minutes, he's more than welcome on my roster. Kid needs work. Lots of it. You'd think he'd be swatting stuff out the gym because of his size. Wasn't the case. Solid rebounder though and likes to play above the rim. 28% FT shooter though. Yikes.


My bench warmers. At one point, I considered developing Sharpe but realized it would be a waste of time as Green is my backup SF for a while. Diawara was brought along last year and saw close to no playing time for another year. Diawara and Sharpe's contracts both expire at the end of this season. Pecherov came along in the Ricky Davis/Crittenton deal and didn't see a second of playing time with me. His team option will more than likely be declined at the end of the year. Plus he's ugly.
