Again Butler is stopped, this time by Aldridge.


James Harden with a nice assist for Durant.


Durant misses the 3 but Greg Oden is there to put the ball in the basket.

[Phil89]

James Harden scored all 24 points in the second quarter (6 minutes game time). I was down by 13 and Westbrook picked up his 3rd foul.
So I put Roy at PG and gave Harden some playing time. Worked pretty well.

I play Dallas again in the next game, so I'll have to break Butler's legs or something.

[Andrew]

Shame about that fourth quarter run, sounds like a wild shootout. Good luck getting revenge in the next game!

[kibaxx7]

What a game by Caron. Tough loss. How's Roy doing at PG? I use him in 2k as PG very sporadically...

[Phil89]

Well really I only played him there for a quarter because Westbrook was in foul trouble and I didn't have enough faith in Maynor.
I didn't really notice any major differences to Westbrook, apart from Roy being a bit slower.

James Harden beats the half time buzzer with a long jump shot.

[Andrew]

Sounds like a good matchup, though it wasn't close for the Hornets. Odd to see Paul not finish amongst the game's leaders in assists.

[Phil89]

Guess he just didn't want to pass the ball.

I hate the scheduling on this game. That was my 4th game against the Hornets this season. There's 7 teams that I haven't even played once yet.
As for the box scores. I've decided that I'm too lazy to make them up every game. Though I like how they look, so I'll save them for the playoffs.

[Andrew]

Understandable. Perhaps if there's a particular game that stands out, a double overtime game where a bunch of players rack up some crazy stats or something you could post the full boxscores for that as well but without the ease of dumping the stats to a text file or easily taking a screenshot with a hotkey it's a bit of a hassle to do every game.

[Justine.]

What a game by Oden

[Andrew]

Awesome performance by Oden, Gay certainly isn't performing quite as well for his new team as he did for you. Great win.

Westbrook alley-oop to Roy.

[Justine.]

Funny pic right there. Who's that coach? Seems like he's grabbing a rebound and lost to C-Jack

[Phil89]

Well it's my bench so I guess it's supposed to be Scott Brooks Also Aldridge isn't that tall. He's about a foot off the ground.
Wouldn't look out of place on an AFL game

[Andrew]

That's certainly an unusual screenshot. Well captured. Good work picking up the win, sounds like it wasn't all that pretty but at the end of the day you came out on the right side of the scoreboard so that's what's important.

[Phil89]

I only managed 34 points in the first half. Usually I score that in a quarter.
