Yeah Lakers and Celtics is supprising, Kobe is being a beast for you, but seems a bit quiet of late, Im looking forward to seeing how the other teams records pan out during the remainder of the season, I expect to see Detroit pick it up...
I think 2k6 has fatigue over a season, either that or the cpu knows how i want to use kobe and are using an appropiate defense for him. Either way its not a concern as its more fun having to find scoring from the role players rather than relying on one or two guys. And Detroit has been picking it up alot, winning 7 of their last 10.
Lakers and Celtics on top of their Conferences? Bird vs. Magic all over again? Truth vs. Kobe
Haha that would be cool. I can't wait to play them in the regular season, i might even give it lakers/heat type coverage if they are still top of the east.
Knicks and Hawks are surprise. But I suppose their is 50-55 games left in the season.
Definately agreed, but the nets are only 2.5 gb, and the wizards (even without arenas for a while now) 2 gb. I expect (hope) they make it, while in the west every team is good thats currently in the playoffs.
Some interesting Standings there. It seems no matter which game you play, the CPU controlled teams don't always do as well as they should or fare much better than their real life counterparts.
That's true, but when you think about it, they havent been too far fetched. I can think back to alot more suprises in the nba regular seasons recently and how unpredictable they have been, and the way live and nba 2k's ratings work, they arent too unrealistic.
NBA Trade Proposal
Sacramento offer Jamal Sampson (PF, 3.4 ppg and 5.3 rpg)
For
Donta Smith (sg, he was a throw in in the lue deal)
I accepted just to add to the depth of forwards, and to give Smith an opportunity in sacramento.
Jazz @ Lakers
Kobe started this game scoring the first 5 points, and 7 overal for the lakers as LA went up 7-2. Utah simply couldnt find its rythm offensively and only scored 16 points in the first quarter. Kobe dropped 14, alone, as the lakers led 26-16 after one. In the second a familar trend continued with Warrick scoring double digits in the second quarter as the lakers closed the half on a 17-6 run to lead 55-34. Kobe had 21 in the first half, and Kirelinko had 10. The lakers continued to dominate defensively and kobe played well on the offensive end, and were able to rest most of the starters in the fourth as we cruised to a 115-98 win, and extract some revenge for a loss to begin last month.

Lakers@ Utah
As mentioned earlier, the Jazz won the last game here against the lakers in salt lake city, and they came out scoring the first 4 points. The lakers responded to retake the lead 7-6. Kwame had 8 first quarter points and 4 rebounds, and Warrick finished the quarter with a breakaway dunk with 0.5 left to give the lakers a 30-23 lead. Odom had 0 points in the first quarter. The lakers went back to their stella defense against the jazz, limiting them to 19 second quarter points but were only able to score 20 themselves, but had a 50-42 lead at halftime. Kobe had 13 first half points on 5-10 shooting, and Devin brown led the jazz with 10.
Second Half
To start the second half, the jazz scored the first 6 points to close within two, but odom hit two free throws that would start the lakers on a 9-2 run. Then the jazz would go on a 10 to nothing run to give themselves the lead, 60-59. The Jazz were up 62-61 when smush would get an amazing block in transition, which led to a kobe dunk. But Smush was injured on the block and forced to leave the game. The tone had been set though, and the lakers would finish the quarter on an 18-0 run (which was later made a 20-0 run to start the 4th) to lead 79- 62. The Jazz kept fighting though and brought the lead down to 4 before a 3pt play by Mihm, Lamar ft's and a kwame dunk sealed a 106-96 win.
