Great game by Roy and huge congrats on 1000 replies.

Congrats on the 1000 replies.

That second quarter against the Grizzlies was a killer, seems you took out your frustrations on the Spurs though.

Congrats on your utter destruction of the Spurs and the 1000 replies.

[Andrew]

Oden taking it all the way reminds me a little of an old clip of Kareem late in his career, taking it all the way for the dunk from at least half court. Anyway another nice win there, they didn't stand a chance after that first quarter.

The game was tight for the first two and a half quarters, but then I went on a 19-0 run at the end of the third/start of the fourth.

[Andrew]

Nice job breaking the game open in the third. I often find myself making huge third quarter runs following subpar or tightly contest first halves as well.

[Phil89]

Yeah I'm never too worried if I make a poor start because I always tend to finish well.

Just had to abandon mid-game because I somehow got it frozen in replay editor. I pushed start during a highlight clip and then x to enter the replay editor and the game just froze and no buttons worked. I'd started with a 39 point first quarter too...

[Andrew]

Always seems to be the way for me. I reckon 90% of the lock-ups I've experienced have come when it's been a good game and/or I'm in the lead.

[Axel The Great]

The game's just a sore loser.

Green sinks a jump shot at the end of the third quarter.

[Andrew]

Chris Duhon with 25...for some reason, he's favoured by the featured scorer logic in NBA Live 10. I'm guessing he threw down a couple of dunks, too. Nevertheless that's a dominant win, looks like you're back in form.

[Axel The Great]

Chris Duhon's a poor man's Steve Nash in Live 10. The rebounding numbers were pretty low in this game.

Thunder time-out. Durant gets the ball but fumbles and the Raptors hold on to win by a point.

[.PorkyJoker.o6]

Ooh Damn! Tough loss dude. Anyway, how i wish that Durant got his rythm and shot the ball right in time to get the win over those freaktors.

[kibaxx7]

Some huge wins, but tough loss against the Raps man! Congrats on the 1000 replies.

[Andrew]

So close but yet so far, tough break. Love the up-and-under by Durant though.

[Phil89]

As much as I love tight games, it really annoys me when I have a chance to win and I'm not able to.

I can't really complain though as I've probably won more of these games then I've lost.

[Andrew]

No doubt, as I've said before you and badreligionau have had some great down-to-the-wire games in your respective Dynasties, with buzzer beaters and last second defensive stops.
