Close game, good win. Big game for Jefferson.

Dude, it was close alllll game. They held the lead for a majority of the game but some late shots by Flynn and Sessions sealed it for me in the final 2 minutes. Amazing.

Granted, the Nets are probably one of the teams actually worse than mine in the game but it was still a great game.

This game plays so well. It's rediculous. It's hard to explain and you don't even notice it in the videos. When you sit down and play it, that's when you really feel just how much better the gameplay is.

Haha, playing the Cavs right now. Lebron just did his pre-game chalk routine. :bow:

For my first game, they did the bowling intro. Shaq threw the ball and LeBron was the wobbling pin that falls down last. Then he ran over to the announcer table and did the Chalk toss, god I love this game.

Player Of The Game:

Lebron James

Quote Of The Game:
"A lot of the offensive schemes and plays that worked against New Jersey didn't work against these guys tonight. They made it tough for us to move the ball around effectively and get good looks." - Kevin Love

Next Game:

HATERS. :yes:

Flynn is posting 14.5ppg and 8apg in the first 2 games of the season, off the bench! He's getting a good 25-30 minutes a game though.

Damien Wilkins hasn't exactly impressed so far. We'll see though. Not gonna shake up things too soon. It's a long season.

Brewer Getting Out And Running (And Doing It Well)

Things were starting to click for Corey Brewer.

The game was slowing down, and he was gaining confidence. But 15 games into his second season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the sleek 6-foot-9 forward tore a knee ligament.

Brewer said he’s feeling few effects from the knee surgery, outside of a little soreness two games into the 2009-10 regular season. But he’s also feeling pretty good about the new up-tempo style of coach Kurt Rambis, taking him back to the days when he won two national championships at the University of Florida.

“We’re going up and down more, cutting to the basket,” he said. “All the stuff I did at Florida.”

Brewer has averaged 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3 assists in the first two games of the season, up from the 6.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists he averaged a season ago.

Corey has an opportunity big enough to drive a truck through. The team has no proven,starting quality SG or SF. Even though Kevin McHale is gone, the front office still wants to see Corey succeed due to spending a high pick on him. Plus he is marketing gold with his smile and humility.

“A team always needs defense,” Rambis said. “A team always need players who play hard. A team always needs players with a passion for playing. He has all three."

“We’ll continue to work on his outside shot, but I love his spirit. I love how hard he plays.”​

Lol Bowen returns to Spurs

 

[mfbmike]

Already rolling lol, solid start to the season. Also what kind of sliders are you using mike?

HOF Difficulty

CPU Shooting:
40 Inside Shots
42 Close Shots
45 Mid-Range Shots
45 3 Pt. Shots

User Shooting:
52 3pt shooting

Foul settings:
70 Charging Fouls
70 Blocking Fouls
70 Reach-In Fouls
70 Shooting Fouls
100 Loose Ball Fouls

All I've tweaked so far but still pleased with the results I'm getting. Barely beat the Nets. Got trashed by the Cavs. Stats look realistic. Still hard as shit to make 3's so far. But then again, I don't really have any marksmen.
