Good game, CJ. Man, I'd like to say our defenses were on that game, but I think the offenses just weren't clicking. :lol Well, mine anyway. I lost count of how many times I would get you down to 1 second on the shot clock and you would drain a well-contested shot. :-( Anyhow, that game was a battle.
 
GG Brian.

Our offenses were definitely out of sync for most of that game, and I couldn't hit many outside shots with my usual guys (Billups, Rip, Tayshaun), but I think that both of our defense's were pretty damn good. And yeah it was certainly a battle. Very similar to a real Bulls-Pistons game.

So that Intercooler that I suggested to you is working out well Chris?

I think it's helping a little, but the biggest reason my 360 is running good is simply because it's been a lot cooler around here over the past few days (mid 60's, low 70's), so my apartment is much cooler (my a/c is broken).

:lol GG. I couldn't compete with that run you had in the 3rd. I don't really know how to run a hurried offense so I end up just running and jacking something when I'm down by that much. At that point I go down even more and the game ends.

nah hedo aint rated worth shit for some reason

Also ratings don't mean TOO much...if you know how to use your players. If you look at my team right now I'm averaging 10+ PPG with 5 players:

Nelson (78)
Reddick (72)
Lewis (89)
Turkoglu (77)
Howard (95)

So as you can see out of 5 players, only 2 are rated 80+ and those are also the only 2 on my team that are rated as such and (except for season 3 when I traded away Turkoglu and Reddick) have allowed me to win back-back championships.

Just sayin...

DCX, I can either play our week 7 game tonight after the league is advanced or we can play tomorrow afternoon/evening just about any time.

2k's brilliant servers appear to be down. If they don't go back up in a few then I'll just push the deadline to tomorrow night.

That's a good idea Smokey, Wsv and I have had some trouble catching up tonight to play....

Alright well, I'm going to go ahead and advance it, your game is the only one that is remaining that needs to be played. So if you guys can meet up tomorrow then set the schedule back to the previous week to make the game up then all should be good, and I've given you co-admin abilities in case I'm not around to do it. Also check here first to let everyone know if you're going to move it back. I'm pretty sure you know how to do it but if not then just let me know.

Here are the games for week 7 :
  1. Denver @ San Antonio
  2. Orlando @ Boston
  3. Miami @ Lakers
  4. Utah @ Seattle
  5. Memphis @ Chicago
  6. Houston @ Dallas - void
  7. Detroit @ New York

Standings:
  1. Orlando (6-0)
  2. Miami (5-1)
  3. LA Lakers (5-1)
  4. Denver (5-1)
  5. Seattle (5-1)
  6. San Antonio (5-1) <--game needs to be made up with Utah for week 6
  7. Chicago (2-4)
  8. Boston (2-4)
    ---
  9. Utah (2-4)<--game needs to be made up with Spurs for week 6
  10. New York (2-4)
  11. Detroit (2-4)
  12. Memphis (1-5)

Remember, after WEEK 8 there can be NO more trades(as in I will turn the feature off in the league settings menu) so if you need to shake up your team you've got 2 more games to do it.

Deadline for GAME 7 is Monday 6/23

Everyone on my team can be potentially traded! Offer me something!

I don't want to be last any longer :( :lol
 
Hey DCX, I'm not going to be able to stay up too late tonight because I have to work early in the morning. I'll be able to start a game anytime in the next 45 minutes. If you can't play tonight then we can play tomorrow. No big deal.

GG DCX.

I know that was probably an especially painful loss for you because you led 99% of the game. You're defense is really good, as are your post players, and I couldn't believe some of the outside shots you hit.

Anyways, GG and good luck in the rest of the season.

Yeah that sucked. I was on fire that game and still found a way to over defend and allow some open threes. I notice that most of my games are in the 60-70 range so my points in the paint are never a factor as i rarely ever get fastbreaks. I should have gave Curry and Zach some more touches down low, but i had some wideopen looks missed by my shooters in clutch time. Bobby Jackson decided to throw the game there at end with 2 missed free throws which led to you getting a three to go up two. I shoud have called a time out so i wasn't thinking in the end. Oh well. The best 2-5 team in the league.
