I don't see how you'd need 2k8. Maybe I'm missing something. :?

I should have accept your proposal ... i didnt ... So Kevin Durant scored 71pts against me :lol:

Really hope next time you will see such a performance from my players. :oops:

It was fascinating though, if someone is interested here is the video 47sec.

KD 71pts

In my association.

31-11.
Lost in Magics 95-100. Damn Tracy McGrady and Johnny Flynn is injured. I might trade Ridnour, he's not doing good, his shot is pretty quick.

Anyways, before T-Mac got injured, he scored 26 points in the 1st half.:D

31-12

Oh Gawd. They just keep coming back on the 4th quarter. Lost on Trail Blazers by 5. 82-87.
Traded Kenyon Martin and Ridnour for Gilbert Arenas and Sasha Vujajic.
Their debuts were both great. 20+ points for Gilbert Arenes. And 6 points for Sasha.

Simmed with the Kings. Traded Garcia, Udrih to name a few for expirings. (Jamal Crawford, Jared Jeffries, Marcus Banks). Despite my serious lack of depth, was 28-17 at one point. In the end, injuries came (thank god), finished with 36 wins, was 2-14 in March. My hope was for a Top 3 pick, that went to hell as I got the 12th pick.

Had 35M in cap space, offered Carmelo a max contract, the bastard stayed in Denver. Consolation prizes were Wilson Chandler, Kenyon Martin among others. Won 28 games, best chance at #1 pick, but got the third. Was hoping for Austin Rivers, got some SG. Signed Kirk Hinrich and Lamar Odom.

Current depth chart :

G - Evans/Hinrich/Nolan Smith
G - Rookie/Redd/Marcus Thornton
F - Chandler/Mbah a Moute
F - Landry/Odom
C - Cousins/DeAndre Jordan

At the start, I should have taken advantage of the Trade Finder. For Cousins, who was 71 at the start, Bobcats offered both Jackson and G-Wallace (Both rated over 80), Bulls offered Joakim Noah (82). Cousins is 80 now, so not too bad.

Looking forward to the next season.

Evans didn't want to re-sign with me, bastard, so I traded that SG, whose trade value was very high for Austin Rivers. Had the 2nd best chance to get the #1 pick, won the lottery and drafted some kid Thornton from England, who looks like the next LeBron James. 24-7-7 in his pre-season debut, one game with 18-9-6-4-4 too.

Line-up :

G - Austin Rivers/Hinrich/Nolan Smith
G - Rookie Thornton/Marcus Thornton/Redd
F - Chandler/Mbah a Moute/Greene
F - Landry/Odom/Whiteside
C - Cousins/DeAndre Jordan/Dalembert

Really looking forward to this season. I like my line-up, lots of youth and athleticism. Redd, Marcus Thornton and Dalembert are 'fed up', but I don't give a shit.

Nice. You have two Thorntons.

That rookie Thronton is a beast. 18-9-6-4-4, you don't come across numbers like that from a guard very often :o

Couple of weird things happened in my second season. I got to the free throw line with Eric Gordon and shot one freethrow. He was apparently injured during the foul or something and got subbed after the free throw, with the sub shooting the second one. He didn't eve walk to the bench, he snapped there and the replacement ran out.

Later, I scored a basket and the opposing team took it out on the sideline after a cutscene skip. I also noticed a weird pause when checking replays so I shut it off to be safe.

Fields does great with the second unit(Curry, Randolph, Azubuike & Douglas) because he gets the most touches. When Curry's doubled, Fields gets wide-open looks for the 'J' or a drive to the hoop.

Reinstalled NBA2k11, started with the clippers.

Blake Griffin played very weell, but I really suck at rebounding only 3 for his first game and 24 points, second was big time, 49 points and 7 rebounds.

Don't use him on defense, just let Deandre Jordan play defense, and go for the rebound, like real life.
