GG Quinton. Harpring surprised me with his clutch shooting and I stunk up the third quarter so badly that I thought I was surely dead.
The Orlando Magic are the most overrated team in this game. :lol Everyone on that roster can shoot. EVERYONE!
I have players that don't hit a high percentage of their layups. Unguarded. During practice. In the gym by themselves.
Week advanced.
Spurs let me know when we can play.

After this series of games are complete, no more trades can be made. Repeat...this is the last game where you are allowed to make a trade. I'll be shuttin' her off when we get to game 9
We are now halfway through the season. It's never too early to make a push for that 8th spot or any other seed you think you can get. Last season it came down to the final game before the playoffs seeds were finally settled.
So with that said...get em played! Deadline is Wed 6/25.
Dark Faze when can we go?

GCQuinton, when can you play? I won't be able to play tomorrow until after 10:30 EST, but otherwise I will be around basically all day Tuesday and Wednesday.
AKABalla, we still need to make up our week 4 game. My 360 is working now, so let's get it in. No free win for you

Glad I was able to hold Durant well below his season avg (21 ppg) to a very respectable 9ppg. I'll take it
Honestly I wasn't really out to use Durant much this game. It seemed everyone else was hitting other than him and I didn't want to waste to many possessions forcing shots with him. Offensively I didn't do to badly as far as my shooting percentages, but I simply got murdered on the boards and had way to many turnovers.
My concentration was pretty much completely on the defensive end, and I simply couldn't stop you if I'm honest. I'm still new to the game having just picked it up before the league started, so I'm not good with a lot of off the ball movement and defending against so many 3 point shooters. I tried pretty much everything I could. On the ball defense, ball denial, and etc but I couldn't find any consistent way of slowing you down
. Seemed like if I finally ever found a way to stop any of your 3 point shooters from being open, Howard would just march in and just pound his way inside and get an easy lay in. If I double him I leave 3point shooters wide open so its a lose/lose situation. I got a couple of stops with Wilcox with some tough defense on him, but it wasn't anywhere near consistent. Plus some of the blocks are called as goaltends.I'm going to have to practice hard though in order to beat some of the guys here in a playoff series for sure. I'm looking forward to it though.
I'm gonna be gone all next week on vacation so I will miss a couple of games. And the end of this week might be pretty busy. DCX I play you next so whenever you are available we should play. And Coldblooded I play you next week. So we can either wait and make up the game later or we can play this week too.
I know it will take us out of our schedule a bit, but i figured this might be a good fix so I don't get too far behind.

Oh wow I didn't know you just started playing before the league started. If that's the case you're on a pretty good path then. I've got 780ish online games played counting 2k7+2k8 so don't feel too bad, and you definitely hold your own playing with a team like the SONICS.

GG, GCQuinton. Everything went my way that game. It felt like I couldn't miss anything. I wasn't trying to run up the score or anything, I would just let the clock run down to under 10 and then set up a play and my guys would make most the shots... I just got lucky I guess. Anyways, gg. I know you'll bounce back.
AKABalla, I wasn't joking. I want to play our week 4 game now that my system is doing fine. I don't know if you're scared or what, but let's get that game in.

:lol Let's play the damn game. Whenever no one else playing. Probably in half an hour or so.
I was just trying to get your attention because you hadn't responded to my posts before and you ignored my trade PM's a couple weeks ago.

AkaBalla said:
Yeah, we made a deal. I meant that you never responded to my PM's.
The trade we made was like a week later and you proposed it via XBL. You never acknowledged my PM's or posts in here. No big deal though...
