[Wizards..] (NBA Live 07)

[Cornerthree]

Emm.. Not a very good Idea, I doubt anyone would like to have a Nike ball in the NBA. It doesn't look very good to me, personally I liked the old one a lot better, but maybe I'll change my mind later...

[NBJ]

Like it. Altough it looks a little weird you used the Spalding template for a Nike ball

[buzzy]

hm, i dunno ...
I doubt the players would have reactions like this
Anyways, if you like the ball, play with him.
IMO it doesn't fit with the NBA at all to use a red/black ball

[Pistol]

THE BALL IS pimp...I like the idea. ORIGINAL

[TomCat]

kool, nice idea about a new game ball and i liked the screenshots of the players practicing with it.

looking forward to the last few weeks and the playoffs

[WhoElseCouldItB]

i kinda like the new nike ball idea...go with it!!!

[NBAFanatic23]

If David Stern did choose a new ball, I doubt it'd be black and red.
Oh well, it's original and hoping to see you go far in the playoffs.

Love the shooting studs/duds feature. Your screens look sick, and I like your weekly recap style because it has all the info people want to see - nothing not worthy of being posted in your recaps. Incredible record, too.

[looser]

Tyrus for ROY!

Love the photos and the recaps...
great work

[Lamrock]

Holy Shizzle! 3 games until playoffs! Ty for ROY, Arenas for MVP, Gordon for MIP, you for GM of the year!

[theKING]

Hahaha its getting there. The playoffs. i agree with Lamrock13, Ty for ROY, Arenas for MVP and Gordon for MIP....hopefully thats how it end, too. Good luck!

[Martti.]

You won't see these guys play until the playoffs.

Wizards announce updated player rotation.

The Washington Wizards have announced their player rotation for the final three games of the regular season. The Wizards have guaranteed 1st place in the league, so they maid as well let the bench show their talent. All 5 starters - Thomas, Curry, Jamison, Gordon and Arenas will be wearing suits instead of uniforms. Cause a stupid injury might ruin the chances in the playoffs. The Wizards have three games to play. All with tough opponents from the East :

Chicago - [44-36] (3 straight W's.)
Orlando - [45-34] (4 straight W's.)
Indiana - [55-24] (5 straight W's.)

The Wizards will probably face the Chicago Bulls in the 1st round of the playoffs. If the Bulls pass Magic in the standings, Then the Bulls will face Magic. The Magic and the Bulls are pretty similar, when to look at the records. The Bulls weakest link is probably the SG spot. Thabo Sefolosha is staring now and Deshawn Stevenson comes off the bench. The Magic's weakest link will be at the Starting PF. Bo Outlaw starts now. Dwight starts at C and Milicic comes off the bench for him.

The Pacers are sixth in the league right now. Lead by Jermaine O'Neal, who's averaging 20.2 points and 9 boards and 2 blocks. Jamaal Tinsley and Danny Granger are both averaging over 17 points per game. Tinsley also averages 7 assists..

Anyway, here's the new player rotation..

@ Center :

[64%] M. Ruffin.
[22%] C. Booth.
[14%] D. Songaila.

@ Power Forward :

[69%] D. Songaila.
[24%] C. Booth.
[7%] D. Lee.

@ Small Forward :

[75%] D. Lee.
[25%] J. Hayes.

@ Shooting Guard :

[52%] J. Hayes.
[43%] R. Mason.
[5%] A. Daniels.

@ Point Guard :

[75%] A. Daniels.
[25%] R. Mason.

Final week recap soon!

[TomCat]

i think it is a good idea to rest the starters. and i think it will shake things up a bit, make the final week very interesting. hopefully it will get people excited for the playoffs.

looking forward to the final week. Go Daniels!!!

Good luck in the Playoffs!

Even if I think you'll win...for sure...

[Marquis]

Yay Songaila a starter

Good luck in the playoffs, I know you gonna go far

[TomCat]

good work, you won a game with the bench as starters.

i cant believe Ruffin got a triple-double!!!

[Effekt]

WOAH!!! I can't believe Ruffin got a Triple-Double!

I see you in the finals, and actually winning the playoffs. Good luck.

[Martti.]

Effekt, ScoopDoggyDogg : Sorry, that was Arenas's line. It's fixed now.

[TomCat]

haha. yeah i thought it was a bit unbelieveable for ruffin to get a triple-double.

oh well, even better to see arenas get one.

So are you going to have game by game recaps during playoffs??, or round by round???

[Martti.]

ScoopDoggyDogg : I'm still wondering..

I don't want to start a new poll. Just post your ideas! Then I'll decide..

[TomCat]

well i think you should do game by game. i wont mind if you choose ruond by round, but game by game is better IMO.

Game by game makes it more exciting

[looser]

Yeah...game by game would be better
