Really annoyed that I lost this one. I started the game with a 20-4 run as well.

[Andrew]

Looks like both of them turned out to be pretty competitive. So close to the triple double with Griffin there.

[Phil89]

9/2/14

2014 NBA All-Star weekend rosters announced

All-Star Game

The selections for the 2014 NBA all-star game have been announced today.

-----------

Rookies vs Sophomores Game

[Andrew]

Good to see you've got a representative for both events.

[Phil89]

I'm used to having 3 guys picked for the all-star game, but only Durant made it this year. Miami still got their usual 3 selections though, even after trading Wade.

I'm usually fond of the Nuggets' jerseys, but that green scheme is just awful for them....

14/2/14

Video Highlights
Young denies Hartmann at the rim.


Young shows his agility with a nice putback basket.


Marshall blocks Richards emphatically, then Zimmermann finishes at the other end.

-----
Marshall fouled out late in the third quarter. I never really had a chance with 4 lumbering big men as my bench.

[Andrew]

Ah well. At least Young got MVP honours.

[Phil89]

I guess Live 10 has fallen out of my game rotation at the moment. I'll get to the all-star game eventually though.

[qfrmcpt310]

Just catching back up with this, too bad Rose got snubbed, should definitely be an all-star with his numbers

[Andrew]

I guess Live 10 has fallen out of my game rotation at the moment. I'll get to the all-star game eventually though.

It happens. I want to pick up my 06 Dynasty again and at least finish the current season, since I'm about halfway through the Playoffs.

[Phil89]

I'm going to do something different this season. Seeing as I only have Durant playing in the all-star game, I'm going to use the player lock feature. I've been meaning to use it in some capacity for a while now but haven't found a reason to. It'll be interesting to see how the game goes.

[jyap18]

Is the player lock feature is better?

[Andrew]

Is the player lock feature is better?

It is if you want to control a single player for the entire game. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.

[jyap18]

Ahh ok. Thanks

[Phil89]

Well technically it should be called position lock as you control every player that plays in the same position as the player you are using. I guess it's better than doing nothing whilst your player sits on the bench though.
