OKC - 2011/12 - Thunder Three-peat

[Martti.]

Haynes is a freak of nature. You should acquire him.

[Phil89]

Too bad the game gave him an inappropriate hairstyle.

That's something I'd really like to see fixed on the next game. They should make it less random.

Haynes is a freak of nature. You should acquire him.

I could try and get him, but he probably wouldn't get much game time behind Oden and Hibbert.
I'll keep my eye on him for the future though.

[Andrew]

Absolutely. If nothing else it'd be nice if we edit player appearances for generated players to correct it ourselves if desired.

[Phil89]

I played the first half as the Rookies and then let the CPU play for both in the second.

[Andrew]

Great form heading into the break. Still hope you can take home MVP honours in the All-Star game!

[Justine.]

So Hasheem Thabeet is not a bust HERE. He's a monsturrr.

[Phil89]

Against a team of rookies at least.

[Andrew]

Nice reel. Nash throwing down a dunk is just bizarre though. Glad to see Durant pick up the MVP.

[Phil89]

I probably spent longer putting all those clips together than I did playing the game.

I was surprised at how poor the East All-Stars were. Last season I think they beat me by a point.

[cavs4872]

The West has some nicely designed warmups there, and when does Nash not lay on the floor in Live 10? Great highlight reel dude, but all of that squeaking is torture.

[Axel The Great]

Whoa, Nash can dunk? Nice little mix of highlights there. BTW, how did you mix all of those videos?

[Andrew]

and when does Nash not lay on the floor in Live 10?

It's true to life though. Nash does it due to suffering from spondylolisthesis.

[Phil89]

but all of that squeaking is torture.

Yeah I probably should have added some music or something.

[Lamrock]

Fucking Thunder, stealing Seattle's team, then somehow acquiring three of the four best Blazers.

[Phil89]

It's not my fault that Portland opted not to re-sign Aldridge and Roy.

[Andrew]

What an embarrassing blowout for the Rockets, it doesn't look like they even tried. Or perhaps your defense was just that good.

[Phil89]

I think it was more just a case of their defense being really bad. I don't often score 137.

Peace Thunder set a new record, cool.
