Yeah I wanted to sign Rose through free agency a couple of seasons ago but wasn't able to. Love watching him play in real life and hope to replicate some of his moves here. :cool:

Here's a little preview: (Added some music to save everyone's ears from the shoe screeching on the court)



Btw Andrew, how do you feel about the Bulls' roster now? I know Udrih isn't Rose, but he has been a very good player in this game.

Nice mix there. (Y)

Honestly, it's difficult to get too excited about that Bulls lineup. The starting five is OK but the bench isn't particularly deep or balanced.

My thought was that by doing a few trades it would share the talent around a bit more. Maybe I got a bit carried away. :lol:

Oh well. Should keep the game interesting anyway.

I'd say you've done that, though the average offseason might not be quite that busy. Still, you can't really rely on the CPU to make great trades a lot of the time, so you've done your part to keep things interesting for the other teams. (Y)

I like player movement, that's why Live 06 was depressing after 1 season cause the CPU didn't make any deals after that.

Currently working on the previews for both conferences at the moment.

Might take a little more time than usual though as I'm currently suffering from a cold for the second time in like 5 weeks and feeling pretty crap. :facepalm2:

Awesome write-up. (Y) For a team that finished second in the conference last season, the Nets sure had a busy offseason with a lot of new faces.

I was actually going to write a little summary for each team but every time I went to do it my brain shut down. :lol:

I guess I've done too much writing for this off-season. I'll post the second half soon so I can get the new season started.

Suns overachieved a little to keep that one close, thanks in no small part to Arenas. Looks like your revamped starting five is in fine form, not a great debut for the bench but I'm sure they'll have their moments through the season.

I think the bench struggles may have something to do with the fact that they are all basically new on my team this year.

It always seems to take me a few games at the start of every season to figure out what my new players are good at.

Artest injury blow for T-Wolves

Image

Minnesota was dealt a cruel blow during their win in Denver yesterday with veteran forward Ron Artest tearing his Achilles tendon.
He will most likely miss between 2-3 months. Artest was clearly disappointed, "It sucks. All I want to do is be on the court with my team."
It leaves a big hole in the Timberwolves' roster that Daequan Cook and Wesley Johnson will have to both step up and fill for them.
Artest has only played 5 games for Minnesota since being traded from the Lakers in the off-season, averaging 10.8 ppg, 5.6 rpg and 3.0 apg.

Fine win, fueled by another strong fourth quarter. Almost at the all-time record. :)

I'm still a fair way behind your Bulls' winning streak though right? :cool:

Over 50 straight at the moment. I'm thinking slider adjustments next season. ;)

Harden dunks over West.


Mayer produced this highlight during his short playing time.

I should point out that every game so far has been closer than the final margins have suggested.
The CPU just seems to like fouling at the end of games and then missing shots. :wink:

Solid win. (Y)

I know what you mean about padding the final margin at the end thanks to the CPU's fouling logic. It's the same in NBA Live 06 PC. They immediately start fouling within the one minute mark if the margin is less than ten.

It's exciting maybe 1/10 times, but usually they miss their shots but keep on fouling even when a real life team would have given up. :facepalm2:
