Thanks Badger and it's great to see you back to your old name
As for Wall, I think my bigger issues are with Josh Howard and Gilbert Arenas as I'm a swingman in this game... although I'm more built like a point guard.

My legendary username .
Are you a swingman? Oh well, these games sucks the My Player. I used to be used as a PG at NBA 2K10 when I was playing at Bobcats.
EDIT: WHAT? IS IT OVER? OH, COMBINE SUCKS FROM THIS ANGLE.
Week 4: What went up, came back down
Starting for the first time.
Game 1: The 20-10 Man
I got my the first start of my career against the Toronto Raptors. Playing in the NBA is incredible, but there's something special about having your name getting called out with the starters on your home court. We had a huge team effort in this game with both Gil and I scoring 20 or more each. I recorded another double-double with 10 boards, had 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. Starting definitely brought out the best of me in that game and I'm hoping to solidify myself as a legit threat in this league.
Game 2: Winning in Boston
After a great win against the Raptors, we were back on the road to face the Boston Celtics. Once again, props to the team for an outstanding team effort. We recorded a 20 point win against the Celtics without Ray Allen. This time it was John stepping up with 28 points and 7 assists. I'm really enjoying my starting role and my numbers are a lot better now because of it. I scored 18 points in 20 minutes, along with 8 rebounds, 4 assists and a block.
Game 3: ...and I come back to the ground
Even though we only lost to the Grizzlies by 6, it's a game I'd prefer to forget. I went up to grab a rebound and I twisted my ankle... again! While the prognosis is positive, the doc recommends that I sit out the game against the Pistons next week. I don't like missing games, but against Memphis it really was affecting my play, so it might be for the best. Wall-E had another great game with 22 points and 5 assists off 5-9 shooting... I think I'm going to begin his rookie of the year campaign!

I'm good. Just out here doin' work, you know. The team's gonna be fine too. We played plenty of back-to-backs before. This one's no different. We all do a good job taking care of ourselves. You gotta be an elite athlete to play at this level. I'd be disappointed if these guys let the grind get to them. We're beyond that at this point in our careers I think.

Uh, it's tough to say. I think we just have a perfect storm of guys who aren't hitting on all cylinders at the moment. I think, as a team, we just need to figure out where things started going wrong and correct that. I urge our fans to not get frustrated though. We'll get back on track soon.

LOL at Bargs averaging two blocks a game.
