X's T'wolves (NBA 2K11)

What are you planning to get with Beasley and Floyd?

PF- Kevin Love (83): Has been disappointing so far, averaging around 15 & 9 last time I checked. It might be that I'm not going through him or maybe it's just that I gave him huge contract. Either way, I need to get more out of him.

Check his overall shot tendency. iirc touches affect gameplay while overall shot tendency affects sim.

PG- Ricky Rubio (79): I'm still getting use to his style of play. He's my starting PG, averaging around 8ppg, 9apg & 2spg. A little bit too turnover prone, but he's been solid. I don't think I can win a title with him as my starting PG. Read into that how you may. He's also still disgruntled. I don't think he'll ever be happy in Minnesota.

Someone is certainly thinking too far ahead.



Robert Pack is awesome X.

I like Robert Pack too. Bradley definitely is an exciting player.

As for your other comment, I always have to look to build a championship contender. As much as Lamrock loves to see me wallowing away in the lottery, championship contention would be nice, considering I haven't done so since Live '04 (with Denver Nuggets - 2 titles).

Yep, will check Love's shot tendency since he shouldn't have that those sort of sim games all the time.

What are you planning to get with Beasley and Floyd?

I don't know. No decision yet. It's still early in the season. When I re-signed Beasley I always thought it would end up being a quasi sign-and-trade arrangement, although the deal to the Raptors (Kahn & Colangelo seem to love each other in this Association) for Chuck Smith fell through due to Tayshaun Prince refusing to waive his no trade clause (don't ask me why the Raptors gave him one, ask Colangelo ).

Anyways, I haven't given up on Bradley. I just want consistent production out of him.

I guess I always envisioned that this season I'd finally make my mind up on which PG (Rubio or Bradley) to run my team into foreseeable future (with Woolridge as backup) & which SF (Beasley or Buford) would be my long-term player.

I think I need a quality starting centre, although I think Jesse Brown will get there in a season or two. At the moment it's just about finding the right pieces & chemistry & plugging it altogether. I think the best thing I can do now is what I don't do. Let the team be what it will be & work from there. I don't want to make any rash decisions, now is not the time for it.

I have to agree with Rubio having too much turnover.

Winning a title with Rubio would be something to behold

But if you want to stay in the lottery and suck, Rubio's your man.

You could at least get into the playoffs and get booted out in the first round ^_^

I checked this story out just a while ago, and Darko's gone, what will happen to all the "challenges"?

Looks like Rubio is as polarising as ever.

The Darko Challenge served its purpose, which was to help me play through my first season with a woeful roster. Darko did get traded, but who knows he might come back some day

I have some suggestions, although most of them are a bit difficult.

I'm keen to hear them provided they don't involve me getting superstars.

I'm in Minnesota & no superstar in their right mind would want to play there

The Sit Challenges

1. Rubio: Lead league in assists

More might come.

2) LebrOWNED: Beat Miami and outscore Lebron by at least 5 points, using Ricky Rubio.

3: So you call your self a Dime Dropper?

Drop 5+ more dimes against players like Nash, CP3 or D-Will, with Rubio.

No more challenges yet. Can't compare Dubious to the greatness that is Darko

Damn auto correct

4) Screw Ricky Rubio challenges and let The X play

Stop suggesting Rubio challenges

Well said. I might play a game now

This season is like an inverse of last season. I'm playing terribly but my sim team is kicking ass to keep me around .500.

It only means that you have build a good team but you suck playing the game.

But I was winning more last season with a worse team

It only means that you have build a good team but you suck playing the game.

Not really. There are player attributes that make your players good in sim while there are attributes that make your players godly in games even if they suck at sim.

Videos in an X Association! .500 isn't bad but just sounds like you need some adjustments to playstyle when you are playing the games

It's really my team's (& mine) pathetic defense. I can't stop any team from scoring at will

I'm alright scoring the ball, just not stopping. I guess my current lineup isn't very defensive.

Great vids. Seems like the time has come where your team has to show that it can be more than a potential 8th seed. Defense is team effort, maybe you should experiment with some zone D or stuff like that.

My D has been slightly better last couple of games. I occasionally mix in some 1-3-1 zone for a possession or two here or there to throw the other team out & maybe cause a turnover.

*sigh* If only the real T-Wolves could play like that...

They might, by 2013 that is

Anyways, I really gotta get my first trimester update up since I'm halfway through second trimester.
