If the activity of the Live 10 forum compared to the 2K10 forum is any indication, (not to mention its an off year for 2K) you would have your hands full if there was a College Hoops 2K10. Hopefully the game turns out good though.

I wouldn't be even contemplating NCAA 10 if CH2k10 came out. One can hope. I'll wait for demo before deciding whether to throw money at it.

Back on topic, Suns look crap & Clippers look pretty good. Who else do Clips have on their bench?

Clippers are looking great. Mike Dunleavy for surprise exec of the year! They are pretty deep. Coming off the bench is Baron Davis (who, 10 games in, is shooting well over 50% somehow), Von Wafer, Grant Hill, Marcus Camby and Mardy Collins.

With my tutelage Lamrock will have number one 2k Association on the boards :P

On topic, damn, those Clippers look good. Only in a computer game after all could the Clippers be good :lol: Hopefully with this trade they can solidify a playoff position. You lovin' it that I'm digging the Clippers more than your Warriors :P

A bit of friendly competition always brings out the best. Either way, I'm on the Clippers bandwagon. If Shaq doesn't have his real life Shaq effect (see Suns & now Cavs) & can get into playoffs, they could surprise a few teams & make a deep run (Y)

That's actually pretty bloody good Lamrock. Maybe ditch your current sig showing where Will's jump shot ends up front rimming because he's fading away too much for the new one

Warriors Edge Bulls, Jump To Fifth Place In Rubio's Return
Amare's Epic Game Not Enough
Warriors 113, Bulls 111

Oakland, CA; January 31, 2010 - The first half of the season was capped with a fantastic game. Amare Stoudemire and Andris Biedrins were dueling all night. STAT eventually put down the better stat line, but the Latvian's team got the win. In an intense game of runs, the Warriors edged out the Bulls to move up to fifth place in the tightly contested Western Conference Playoff Picture.

Despite Anthony Randolph's 1-6 showing from the field in the first period, Golden State got out to a fast start, opening the game with a lead of 15-10, with 8 of their points scored by Biedrins. However, fifteen unanswered points turned the game in Chicago's favor. A pair of treys by Anthony Morrow put them back in the game, but the end of the quarter saw the Bulls up 6. A series of bricks by Derrick Rose and John Salmons gave the Warriors a lead but then Amare Stoudemire showed why the Bulls acquired him. Going on a scoring tirade, the big man scored 11 of his 28 in the second to give his team a one point lead. Stephen Jackson sunk a three-pointer as the buzzer to give Golden State a 55-53 lead at intermission.

The third quarter saw Derrick Rose getting to the line at will, helping the visitors outscore Golden 13-4 in the first three minutes of the half. "I wasn't shooting the ball well at all, so coach told me to take a different approach, so I started taking it in". After a timeout, Ricky Rubio was subbed in for the first time since his injury. While he was fairly ineffective offensively, he helped contain Rose. Randolph started playing effectively again, and the Warriors managed to enter the final period up two points. In the third quarter, Biedrins recorded 4 of his career high 6 assists.

For a while, it looked like this one got away from the Warriors. After building a seven point lead, Francisco Garcia scored all twelve of his points in the fourth, while Amare had his way with the Warriors' rail thin front-court stars. With less than five minutes in the game, the score read Chicago 103, Golden State 94. A timeout led to back-to-back Nash-to-Biedrins alley-oops. Stephen Jackson converted a rare four-point play, Anthony Morrow continued to outshine fellow shooting guard Rudy Fernandez (who had 12 points on 3-9 shooting) and Anthony Randolph scored 10 of his 24 en route to a 19-5 run. With 33 seconds left, John Salmons bricked his fifth three, Joakim Noah grabbed his third offensive board, John Salmons bricked his sixth three, Amare grabbed his first offensive board as a Bull (!), and dished it to Ron Artest for a trey. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late, as the Warriors played keep-away to prevent the Bulls from intentionally fouling, and the Warriors won it 113-111.

Winning player of the game, Andris Biedrins had a fantastic night, filling up the stat sheet with a season-high 22 points, 10 rebounds, a career-high 6 assists, a season-high 5 blocks and 3 steals. with an impressive shooting clip of 10-13 to boot. Anthony "Meal Ticket" Randolph shook off a poor first half to score 24 and grab 8 boards. In a losing effort, Amare Stoudemire had an amazing game, scoring 28 points, grabbing 14 boards and dishing 6 assists on incredible 13-16 shooting. Unfortunately, his teammates did not shoot so well, with Rose going 9-27 (though his line of 25 points and 7 assists was nothing to scoff at), and John Salmons having an atrocious game, scoring 7 points on 2-15 shooting. The loss puts Chicago in a tie for fourth place with the Nets (who they own the tiebreaker with) in the Leastern Conference. The Warriors meanwhile, move up to fifth place in the Western Conference at 24-21, but are practically tied with the Thunder and Kings, who are both 25-22, and only lead the ninth place Dallas Mavericks by a half game.

CHI (24-24): 30 | 23 | 28 | 30 | 111
GSW (24-21): 24 | 31 | 28 | 30 | 113

- The 24-21 Warriors lead the 25-22 Thunder and Kings by 0.2%.
- Anthony Morrow is expected to start over Rudy Fernandez in the next game. Steve Nash will retain his starting spot.
- The next few updates will be a large overview of the league, providing reminders of who's on what team, and analysis on how all 30 teams are doing; along with awards races. Hope you enjoy.

magician: 21 points (21+0)


Two small changes: a point is now awarded for coming within a game of the team's actual record. Also, there will now be 5 NLSCers in the first draft. I will also be making some changes to the prediction game for next time, since all the scores this round were between 11 and 15, and newcomers to the association are currently being left in the dust.

Thanks Valor. Your Bulls are awesome in this association, They'll probably have a better record than me at season's end. 24-21 is alright. Good for fifth in the West for now. :P If Salmons didn't try to built a house of bricks, I would be on the outside looking in to the playoff picture.

For those who don't understand the inside joke: I tend to fade away even when I'm wide open.

Realistic ASG Starters except Rondo maybe. Nice win against the Bulls. They seem to click with Amare and Rose though. This Bulls team is really cool.

Sit, :applaud: Very nice work. Just the shot in the arm the signature contest needs.

hova-, Yeah, Rondo is putting up Kidd-in-his-prime stats, and the Celtics are by far the best team in the league, so its certainly deserved. I love the Bulls in this too now. Even though they are 3-3 with Amare, they are certainly improved, and were tough to beat.

The X, Yep, I love Przybilla on the real-life Blazers. While he doesn't get much PT due to Biedrins being a fringe all-star and not being foul prone, he is a very solid backup Center. Really been missing him lately, having to play Darko a lot more than I usually do. Mark Blount also saw his first minutes of the season against the Bulls. He posted a trillion...
