Pouncing on Opportunity (NBA Live 06)

[KIG1]

Oh great for the Heat, Wade is injured. Man you killed them

[kibaxx7]

Amazing wins man! Great win over Heat... good luck against Knicks

[Mark.]

Detroit just keeps on rolling, and while they face the knicks in New York,
it doesn't look likely their streak will be stopped before the Allstarbreak.
The Knicks will look to use their depth, especially in the backcourt,
to tire out the Detroit guards and swingmen, look for the game to be won in the backcourt.


Boxscores: [Pistons]|[Knicks]


Tayshuan Prince had his second great scoring night in a row,
hitting 63% of this shots and both his 3 point attemps the Knicks couldnt find an answer.
While the Pistons won the game, it didnt come as easy as past games,
having to work hard for their 5 point victory the Pistons will be beginning to wonder
how they can demolish a team like the Heat then have trouble beating the Knicks.

The Knicks made the most of the home crowd and held Detroit to only 12 points in the first quarter.
The Pistons managed to find their focus in the 2nd, but still were trailing by 3 heading into the half.
The Halftime talk must have inspired the Pistons as they came out firing and turned the 3 point deficit
into a 10 point lead going into the third, it looked like they had it wrapped up,
but a fired up Jamal Crawford would not let them have it so easy, scoring 12 of his 20 in the 4th.
The Knicks out scored the Pistons 27-22 in the 4th, even taking the lead at times,
however the Pistons managed to pull away with free throws in the last few minutes.

Prince knocked down 23 also pulling down 10 rebounds to go with 3 steals.
Chauncy Billups had 17 points and 7 assists, but was harrased all night resulting in 7 TO's
Jamal Crawford had 20 points on 8-13 shooting, with 12 big points in the 4th.
Eddy Curry made a good push for an All Star selection, with 15 points and 14 boards on 70% shooting.


Starbury played some great pressure D on Billups || Billups with the great lob to Ben Wallace to silence the crowd

The Detroit role players got some good minutes, here Dyess with the Flop and Hunter hitting the fadeaway.

Richardson shooting one of his FT's he had a great shooting night || Crawford trying to free up some space for a jumper.

Oh great for the Heat, Wade is injured. Man you killed them

Yeah it gives me some confidence in the case we meet in the playoffs.

Amazing wins man! Great win over Heat... good luck against Knicks

THanks, yeah I think the luck might have helped against the Knicks, I seriously thought I was gonna lose that one

[Dee Rip]

Wow, Knicks only losing by Detroit by only 5 points NEVER! Lol I really like the new presentation man keep it up. You screenshots the best, it just gives me more excitement to your dynasty. Tayshawn Prince only missing 6 shots not bad, oveall good job, I will stick around for this one can't wait till the all star recap.

[Buckley]

my god....you only won by 5? its the knicks

j/k man, good luck next game.

[Arcane]

who would have thought the knicks would hold their own against detroit defense

[Laxation]

9/23 from the line? Bad luck on the loss

[Jing]

nice. but holy shit 17 steals
and i think live should include a free throw shooting mode so Mark can practice

[Mark.]

You will get to select a player for each position that you think will make the All Star Line-up, for each one you guess correctly you will get 3 points, if you guess the all right for a conference you get a bonus 7 points, and if you guess both conferences right (good luck ) you get another bonus 10 points on top of that.

I thought id add that if you pick a player, but they dont make the starters but instead get on the bench, then you get 1 point, if all your players you pick for a conference make the team in some way (starter or bench) then you get a bonus 4 points, and if all the players you pick make the teams in some way you get a bonus
4 points. Teams will be announced soon .

Slam Dunk Contest and 3 Point Shootout Contestants Announced





This years Slam Dunk selections are a lot different than previous years.
For one thing is seems they have decided to go with a 6'8" + contest.
Ben Wallace is a supprise selection to the delight of Pistons Fans, expect to see a lot of power dunks from him
and Amare Stoudemire. Tracy McGrady is returning to the contest to try win it this time, having failed in previous year.
Jonathon Bender asked to be selected so he could have a go before his knee issues get too bad to be able to participate.
Look for a dunk contest that may not be as flashy but deffinately still be entertaining.






Quentin Richardson returns to defend his 3 point shootout title, this time in a new uniform.
He will be challenged by 7 other deadly marksman, with there being no clear top 3 or 4 above the rest.
Detroit Point Guard Chauncy Billups was included which will make many Pistons fans glad.
Kobe Bryant will participate looking to add this trophy to his already generous selection.
