[KidJustin]

And by the way, Can you post your boxscores?

i didn't have any plans to include it in my game recaps...
and i know u probably want it for the contest 3...
but it also makes it a little harder and more to chance

...suggestions (from others)?

i'll think about it in the meantime...

GRIFFIN WITH FIRST CAREER TRIPLE-DOUBLE, BUT CLIPS FALL FLAT IN OT



THE FACTS: The Pistons defense showed to be a major problem for Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, and the Clippers early on. The Clippers, lead by Eric Gordon's 36 Points, most of which coming in the second half and Blake Griffin's 1st career triple-double (26 Points, 12 Rebounds, 11 Assists) would claw their way back into the game. But a Pistons run capped off with a Ben Gordon 3 to tie the game in the final moments that helped push the game into OT, where the Piston's veteran defense prevailed.

THE STAT: Led by Rip Hamilton's 20 points, the Pistons bench out scored the Clippers bench 53 to 30

QUOTABLE: Ben Gordon, "We thought we had them in the first [quarter], but they really showed their toughness and got back in the game. Luckily we were stayed poised and pulled in out in the end. The Clippers are a young team, just give them time.

HOT: With Rodney Stuckey injured, Will Bynum hit a layup to force OT with only 0.9 seconds left in the game. He also had a career high 25 assists

NOT: Clippers 1Q and OT. Clippers were held to only 19 1st QT points on 22% shooting, and then held to only 8 Points on 42% shooting in OT. Pistons shot 81% and scored 21 points to seal the victory in OT.

GOOD MOVE: The Pistons kept Blake away from the paint most of the game (esp. in the first half) by having him guard stretch forwards in Villanueva and Jerebko

BAD MOVE: Clippers had a 9 point lead with 2 minutes left in the game. They let the Pistons go on a 14-5 run to tie the game and allow the Pistons to win it in OT

Injuries: Tayshuan Prince did not dress, he is still out with a shoulder injury
Tracy McGrady has been hurt with a strained hamstring, but was able to play tonight. He logged 10 minutes and scored 3 points
Jonas Jerebko twisted his ankle early in the 1Q after being called for a loose ball foul. He returned and had a major put back dunk that kept the Pistons hopes alive

Rodney Stuckey collided with DeAndre Jordan and Strained his Achilles in the 1Q. He did not returned and may be out for 2-4 weeks

Next Game: @ Pacers


Final Score: OVERTIME:
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (127) - DETROIT PISTONS (140)

Player of the Game:
Ben Gordon

29 Points, 4 Assists, 4 Steals

ARTEST AND DENG INVOLVED IN TRADE RUMORS

The LA Lakers have made it known that they are actively shopping forward Ron Artest.

Artest said he was "surprised" by trade talks, but also said that he would "play for any team"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rumors have been going around about the Bull's Loul Deng's availability.

One rumor has him trading places with former Bull Ben Gordon, currently of the Detroit Pistons.

[George7]

Looking at Gordon's performance and considering Deng doesn't offer that much so far(and also that Gordon is one of my favourites ) ,this will be a nice trade for the Bulls

You had to win it there bro!!Really bad move letting this slip away!And allowing 140 from a team which is not considered an offensive powerhouse it's not a good thing.You have to strengthen your D,and Ron Artest won't be a bad choice in fact!

[Kubik]

I love this pics! It's fucked up that there is no addons for xbox 360....Great association!

[KidJustin]

You had to win it there bro!!Really bad move letting this slip away!And allowing 140 from a team which is not considered an offensive powerhouse it's not a good thing.You have to strengthen your D,and Ron Artest won't be a bad choice in fact!

the night was really the battle of the Gordon's

but other than Blake and surprisingly Foye (6-7 FG and 2-2 3pt) there was not much help...The score was in the mid-high 90's in the 4th...
and then Ben Gordon went crazy...his game tying 3 just killed all Clippers momentum....

Gordon and Griffin were the only ones to score in OT by the way.....
no one else could get to the basket...and were forced into tough jumpshots....

Lakers roster is not usually the first place i would look....but we'll see

[kibaxx7]

Yeah the pictures look really nice... but 140 points from Detroit, that's unacceptable!

[Psychedelic™]

Will Bynum with 25 assists is fuckin' horrible. But I got to give credit with Blake's triple-double and EG's 36 point effort. Goodluck with the Pacers

STUCKEY: Here Blake, fetch!

Picture 2:
McGRADY: Watch out, guys! You gonna get POSTERIZED!!!
BUTLER: Eh, I don't think they make Tracy McGrady posters anymore...

VILLANUEVA: Hey! Come back here!

Here we have the Rodnius stuckius protecting its egg from the nasty predators (Clipperus losangelis).

Picture 5:
VILLANUEVA: I think I just sprouted a human on my back...
GRIFFIN: I think I just sprouted a human on my head...

[KidJustin]

Question to my readers:

Would you guys prefer boxscores in my recaps?

if so, i'll allow users to resubmit the first part of contest #3 if you want to...1 time only
(I can read the edit timestamps)

[George7]

Well,having the first 5-6 players' stats of each team will be ok.I won't probably care that much for a full boxscore.

[Psychedelic™]

Or just add the stat leaders of each team after each game.

Photo 1: BG-32 Ready for take off! Wallace: Hey Rodney! Get out of the way!

Photo 2: Davis: You got some nice balls there huh!

Photo 3: I'm gonna dive in here and catch this big fisssssshh-ball.

Photo 4: Stuckey: (mimicking John Cena's voice) You can't see me!

i was actually thinking of that since 2ks boxscore is just the top 5-6 players...i didnt really want to put extra energy into making a full boxscore...

one of the things i miss with NBA LIVE 08..compelte boxscore in one screenshot
...also being able to see individual stats on a per quarter. is it possible? i cant figure it out

..................
anyways sorry for the delay on the Pacers game. had to work on some patching instead of playing. maybe tonight. and ill probably play a little more serious and make sure to keep the score lower/realisitic....first two games was kind of a trial/error with freely playing and how the results came out
