After the first quarter I almost quit because I thought that the difficulty settings had been changed somehow.
I'm glad I didn't though because after the game I checked and they were still on superstar difficulty. :cool:

Thunder stars ready to face conference-leading Nets tomorrow night

ImageImage

Oklahoma City stars Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose today expressed their confidence in regards to hosting the eastern conference leaders tomorrow.
"They are an exciting group." said Durant. "It's definitely going to be a challenge defending our home court against such a talented bunch of guys."
Confidence is high in the four-time defending champs locker room though explained Rose; "We are on a good run at the moment, we're feeling good."
"Obviously we will have to be at our best if we want to get a positive result against a team with so many quality players though", he added.

It's so far, so good for New Jersey this season after their radical roster overhaul during the off-season. They top the eastern conference with a 10-2 record.
In fact they are one of only two teams to reach a double-figured win tally so far (New Orleans being the other). Things are looking pretty good in Newark.
They should come into this game with a lot of confidence as they're currently on a six game win streak. This will be their toughest game yet though.

The Thunder aren't going too badly themselves either. Near the top of their conference with a 9-3 record and on their own four game win streak.
2010-11 scoring champion Kevin Durant seems to be out to regain that title this season. His blistering start to the season has him averaging 33 ppg.
The biggest surprise of the season for them so far is the play of off-season recruit Michael Beasley off the bench. He is scoring almost 19 ppg.

Every season there seems to be a run of games where I get in a groove of using my PG as a true point guard and play some good passing offense, rather than just driving to the basket or taking threes.

I really should try it every game considering it results in high scores. :wink:

Funnily enough he actually co-held the record of 30 assists with Scott Skiles before he went and got it outright. :cool:

Another bonus of Rose's good form is that Griffin is having a bigger impact in games now.

Awesome to see Rose be the hero once again, but a shame the run came to an end in Atlanta. At least it was an actual star point guard making the difference for the CPU!

November 2013 Summary

ImageImageImageImageImage

Despite a shock opening night loss to the lowly Mavericks, Oklahoma City have steadied and sit in their familiar top spot in the western conference.
Their good run saw several amazing personal highlights from stars Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose. The former breaking the 40 point mark three times.
But Rose has stolen the show lately with three 20 point-20 assist games in a row, including a record setting 31 against the Hornets in New Orleans.
To end his incredible four-game run he managed to sink a game-winning three pointer against the Spurs with less than a second left on the clock.
It's looking like it will be another long and frustrating season for Mavericks fans. Their team sits bottom with the equal most losses of any team so far.

The eastern conference is looking very competitive this year. The superstar-laden Nets are leading the way, with the Heat and Knicks not far behind.
Chicago are seemingly back to their best form and challenging the top teams and the Bobcats are surprising everyone with their play up to this point.
Off-Season acquisition Charlie Villanueva has been in staggering form. His 23 point, 19 rebound and 8 assist per game average won him eastern POTM.
The resurgent Cavaliers are looking strong too. They are keeping pace with the aforementioned teams in a highly competitive eastern conference.

Top draft pick George Marshall has had a solid start to his career in Philadelphia. He was named eastern rookie of the month for November.
The MVP race has a familiar look with Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and Deron Williams. The trio have each won the award in the past three years.

No surprise that the Nets are leading the East. It'll be interesting to see how the sim engine handles it all come playoff time, whether the Heat will still ultimately prevail.

The power seems to have shifted to the east these days. Which is probably partly my fault. If I make it to the finals again I will have a good series either way it seems.

I'd hoped that Portland could have been the Miami of the west with Paul, Roy, Wallace, Aldridge and Okafor, but two of them left and they aren't quite as strong as they were for that one season when they were together. The Lakers are much younger now though and could reignite that rivalry from my old dynasty.
