Hasheem gets dunked on all the time. He's used to it.

When did he get turned into Shawn Bradley?

Oh snap! Who's the rookie of the month?

You've be on fire ever since taking over the starting position from the injured Brandan Wright

Oh, I want to see how I'm doing. Did D'Antoni realize that I should be starting?

Yes, 2K hasn't though BUT! Donnie Walsh is shipping Anthony Parker and he has demanded a trade also, so you'll get your starting spot pretty soon, unless they trade for a SG
I will do a NLSC Players focus next month as i have permission from Sit now, but for now, Stats for all of you below

When did he get turned into Shawn Bradley?

Since I got in town. My awesome defence compromises the rest of the team, leaving Hasheem vulnerable to be dunked on.

10-7 is okay, but I hope you can get better. Bol and Sit are posting decent numbers. (Don't know how the latter manages to do so)

Fuck you man. Fuck you.

[kibaxx7]

3-1-1 in 7 minutes... that could grow to 12-5-5 and be like a poor man's Tyreke Evans

yeah i am expecting better out of this roster too, but as Lamrock said in a post earlier, the team probably just needs some time to stick

3-1-1 in 7 minutes... that could grow to 12-5-5 and be like a poor man's Tyreke Evans

Yup, keep your fingers crossed, judging from the trade block and the rumor mill, the Knicks might trade away Parker anytime soon
hell, there are several bigger names on the trade block, i might make an article soon

Greg Oden asks for Trade
Decenber 16th 2010


Despite the team being in a good situation record wise, the Blazers'
Greg Oden is asking to be traded.

The Blazers are first in the Northwest Division at 13-12 and are 7th
in the Western Conference, however, Oden is very much frustrated
at losing out minutes to his backup Joel Przybilla.

Oden has been averaging 8.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per
game this season, playing in 25.1 minutes per game as a starter
for Portland. The lack of minutes is apparently due to his foul problems.
Oden is averaging 4.4 fouls per game, and has 5 fouls in 10 of his last
15 appearances.

What makes the situation worse is his current dislocated finger, which
would limit his action on the court for a further 1-2 weeks.

The Blazers has declined to comment while Oden has been fined $25,000
for public statements detrimental to the NBA.


Knicks shipping Parker
December 16th 2010


The New York Knicks are reported to have been shipping offseason
acquisition Anthony Parker around the league.

Donnie Walsh lost out on the LeBron James summer bid, and spent
his cash on role players such as Parker and Glen Davis; Naturally,
that did not work out at all, as the Knicks (8-16) are now at the
very bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Parker has been mediocre at the best, averaging just 7.6 points,
2.0 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per game as the Knicks' starting
2 guard. He is shooting a horrendous .350 from the field and
.315 from trey, with a free throw percentage of .758

Torn ACL Sidelines Hamilton for Season
December 19th 2010


Richard Hamilton will miss the remainder of the season with tears
to the anterior cruciate ligament on his left knee.

Hamilton is 32 years of age and the injury is considered career threatening.

Hamilton suffered the injury on a play late in the fourth quarter against the
Phoenix Suns, the Bucks lost the game 90-104.

"I'll be back for sure" said Hamilton "Injuries happen, I'm just going to be
optimistic about it and work my way back"

For the season thus far, Hamilton has been averaging 14.7 points and 4.1
assists per game in 25 games played.


Ray Allen done for season with Torn Achilles Tendon
December 20th 2010


Just one day after Detroit's Hamilton suffered a season ending injury,
the NBA suffered another loss as the Nets' offseason prize Ray Allen
goes down with a Torn Achilles Tendon, one that would end his first
season as a Net.

The injury is a significant blow to a uprising Nets team that is leading
the Eastern Conference at 18-8, they have won 9 out of their last 10,
and Allen, who is averaging 16.6 points per game coming off the bench
for the Nets, has been an extremely important part in the Nets' success.

Allen suffered the injury just 2 minutes into the game last night
when the Nets were visiting the Atlanta Hawks. The Nets eventually
won the game by 34 points - 104-70, but their season is at risk now,
with one of their best players being out.

[Lamrock]

Damn, that sucks about Allen, but I guess it means more time for Lai. (Never understood how having both of them worked anyway, since both only play one position) Granted, I've been disappointed with the lack of injuries in mine. (I have the Durability slider set to 0, but after 13 games, nothing...)

Keep it up man. Are you trying to get Anthony Parker or give Shannon Brown more PT?

Well, prior to the injury, i've been playing Allen at the backup 2 and the 3, and interchanging Lai, Allen and Ariza at those 2 positions.

Not interested in Parker, but i will give Brown more PT for sure
Also, the durability slider is bugged in 2K9 and possibly 2K10, when you set it at 0, it means that the possibility of injuries is 0, and vice versa. Mine is set at 50 right now

[Lamrock]

Oh really? That's good to know. I'll try it at 100, and see if I get any results. No injuries in 13 games to a team starting Baron, Blake Griffin and Chris Kaman is ridiculous.

Cool that your still starting Sean Williams. Its a bummer that his career is more or less over irl. The being said, are you looking to upgrade at the 4? If you get your man Odom, you can have a special 2009 Lakers lineup at times. (Fisher-Brown-Ariza-Odom-Mbenga)

Yes indeed

Good idea, but no man. I don't have the trading chips to acquire Odom, and Sean Williams is developing nicely into a dominate defensive player for me (something that i wish would happen in real life..but as you said, not a big chance of that...), he's fine at the 4 spot and i've still got the Birdman as his backup

My biggest concern now is that i've lost my only reliable offense from the bench, and my second unit is awfully small now (i need to play a lineup of Brown, Fisher and Mills at times....not to mention the 6'6" Chuck Hayes as the Center). So when my guys need a break, i get abused

[Fresh8]

Sucks for Allen. Waiting for some more updates... although I know you are busy with school.

Just had a quick look at this, don't know why I didn't follow this earlier this is a great association. Hope our real life duties doesn't stop this one

Wall posts first triple double in win over 76ers


John Wall recorded his first career triple double in a 115-90 blowout win over the Philadelphia
76ers yesterday night.

Wall reached the achievement with 14 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds in 31 minutes of play,
he also had 3 steals but did shoot 6 for 16 and had 5 turnovers.

"It's obviously a great thing for me" said Wall "but i'm just happy that we got the win tonight"

Wall, a rookie guard out of Kentucky, was the third overall pick by the Indiana Pacers in the
2010 NBA draft before having his draft rights traded to the Boston Celtics alongside Jamaal
Tinsley for Leon Powe and Carl Landry.

Oden joins LeBron in Cleveland through Blockbuster trade
December 20th 2010


The Cleveland Cavaliers have announced that they have acquired center Greg Oden
and forward Martell Webster from the Portland Trailblazers in exchange for forward
Hedo Turkoglu and center Channing Frye.

"The team is currently not doing as well as we would have liked, and we feel that
a big man like Oden is going to help us tremendously" said Cavaliers GM Danny
Ferry "Of course, Martell is a great talent to have also and we look forward to
his contributions."

Oden, a former first overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, had suffered various
setbacks in his relatively short NBA career. Filled with Injuries and having problems
with staying out of foul trouble, the big man never really worked out for the Blazers
and demanded a trade just last week.



Knicks sends Parker away for Jarvis Crittenton
December 26th 2010


The New York Knicks have reported that a deal has been reached between
them and the Washington Wizards to send guard/forward Anthony Parker
to the nation's capital in exchange for guard Jarvis Crittenton.

Parker was signed by the Knicks in the 2010 offseason and never really
worked out, having career lows in various categories and has had terrible
chemistry with both his teammates and the front office.

The Knicks were first reported to have been shipping him since an incident
between Parker and rookie guard Thierry Tirieux; in which the Argentina
native was reported to have been held back by teammates following a
heated exchange initialed by the veteran Parker.

Dude, get back to study!

[Martti.]

Wow, Oden with the Cavs. I bet all the ladies in Cleveland are hyped up.

absolutely.. hehe

[Lamrock]

Webster > Turkoglu
Oden >>>>>>>>>>> Frye

Fuck virtual Kevin Pritchard

[Mark.]

Massive trade for the Cavs, no excuses now Lebaby!!

Id say that Webster would possibly work better in a team dominated by the King that Hedo would.
