holy shit!!
city of atlanta would like to welcome the newest players to the franchise!

who the hell do you have to score on your team? you have two post guys and a bunch of 3 point jackers.

your the bucks 2.0 now. Have fun trying to break out of slumps when your 3 point shots arent dropping. fucking close to impossible

I think the Paul rejection was one of those I got lucky with where i timed it right. I ended up blocking Jefferson from behind as he was elevating both hands up for a dunk. Surprised I didn't get called for a foul.

I also practiced shooting free throws for almost a half hour yesterday and still went 2/10. I get so confused with the two angles. I know you need to release early when the angle is close, but it says I'm always late even though I'm trying to release early. :/ How early do I have to release it?

Dear Nuggets owner:

Thanks for handing the AI and the league title to Smokey and not even getting back Yao, T-Mac, Or Artest. Like he needs more awesome players.

Regards,
Everyone else

seriously. and not getting a superstar in return?
daw, you got robbed.

yeah. i throw the robbed saying around alot.

But you got ROBBED. Smokey poisoned your drink and took your wallet when you knocked out

 

[Shawnwhann]

daw, you got robbed.

I'm convinced Smokey has some stolen homemade porn from the Nuggets owner. It's the only way I can get my mind wrapped around this nonsensical trade.

Kudos to Smokey for cementing his next league title!

 

[Herpes Reasons]

ok, my grand plan is almost complete!
im wiling to trade shaq for a stud 3.

smokey i want a challenge with you right now.
so apparently i can't win at home


thanks for michael redd!

 

[daw840]

Talk all you want, but my play style is WAY more suited to Barry than Iverson. I just played Pheenix (6-1 before our game) and won. Keep in mind coming into the game I was 2-6. Oh yeah, Barry was POG.

Smith + Barry on the outside

Anthony on the inside

Works great for me.

See. You all see BB and think what tha fuck, but if you haven't used him you don't know how money dude is from 3pt line (he's rated i think 95 behind arc).

buncha haters!

 

[ph33nix]

i do want to play. i just played cerrius but we both got d/c...great game going too

i would just love to ruin your debut party with your new lineup

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

wait smokey got AI? so now he has AI, Twac, Yao, and artest? :lol

i will still beat you. mcgirk, assemble!

 

[strikeselect]

pheeniks playstyle has changed alot since I last played him wtf.

:lol

i dunno if that's a good thing or what.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

im itching to try my new team, who's down?

 

[Smokey]

pheeniks since you won't answer me on xbl, we're gonna scrimmage on these new 'test' sliders that kado and I played on earlier. this time in a league setting so i can get a better idea of what needs adjustments etc.

I am about to change the league settings to these 'test' sliders to see if they work. if you are trying to play a league game ( i don't think anybody is) let me know on xbl so i can change them back before you play

 

[strikeselect]

if you don't mind losing, im here

You were going into the paint alot more and shooting threes with no hesitation.

Your playstyle was alot different from before where you would eat up a good 15 - 20 seconds of the clock running around with nash

 

[Herpes Reasons]

if you don't mind losing, im here

let's go!

the snaq days are gone!

i just wanted to bring back the old phoenix

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

clippers owner where are you!

 

[daw840]

clippers owner where are you!

Let's scrim Jeff!!!

 

[Smokey]

kado and cerrius you all will be playing on the test sliders...lemme know how they work out.

 

[strikeselect]

let's go!

im in the lobby

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

oh dont worry davis, we will be playing soon enough my friend!

p.s. smokey i want confirmation that my game vs. clippers is not coming down to a coin flip. ive tried to get ahold of the dude since week 2 opened. he said he would be around tonight at 9:30 but idk where he is. that is bogus for it to come down to a coinflip when i have made every effort to play!

 

[Herpes Reasons]

[ph33nix]

GG smokey. i almost had it but choked the 4th q again

 

[Herpes Reasons]

what was changed smokey?
gg cerrius

 

[Smokey]

GG smokey. i almost had it but choked the 4th q again

yah gg..i was starting to get the hang of AI release towards end of game. Dude is quick as hell. He received that outlet pass and passed every sun except amare towards the end and got a and 1 on the layup.

I gotta figure out what I'm going to do. Can't start all 4 because then when they get tired I won't have too many options on bench. Probably start McGrady and Yao obviously and have Iverson and Artest come off bench.

At end of game though when it comes down to crunch time better believe all 4 will be on the hardwood!

 

[Smokey]

what was changed smokey?
gg cerrius

3pt slider 48 -> 50
mid range 47 -> 48
offensive rebound 35->30
defensive rebound 50 ->60

 

[ph33nix]

i love my new starting five. i think it has greater potential than my previous lineup, that's why i made the trade

<3 snaq but he couldn't stay on the floor long enough :lol

 

[strikeselect]

gg via. i liked the sliders. Beasley started out rough but finished with a bang.

three point shooting actually felt like a viable option instead of "pray it goes in" with the old sliders.

 

[CB3]

3pt slider 48 -> 40

great. im never winning a game again

 

[Smokey]

^^^meant 50

 

[CB3]

woo im camping behind the 3 point line with bibby!

 

[ph33nix]

i don't know what you guys are talkin about. redd kicks ass

 

[Herpes Reasons]

why is 3pt upped to 50 even if the % matches those of real nba games?
both my games with smokey and cerrius, you guys we're bombing 3s left and right.:lol

 

[Smokey]

why is 3pt upped to 50 even if the % matches those of real nba games?

Because sometimes what's realistic may not be too fun. But if you noticed in our game we just played we both shot about 35-38% which is where it was when it was at 48 so not like it makes that much of a difference. Like Cerrius, it doesn't feel like you have to pray when you release the ball.

I'm trying to find that balance where 3's aren't like layups...but at the same time don't feel like it's luck when it does go in.

And gg kado.

Much better scrimmage against you than Pheeniks where I was trying to figure things out with the new squad. I pretty much have my rotation set and all of that good stuff now. I just have to get used to A.I. being so amazingly fast. At times I almost lost control of him because I'm not used to controlling somebody so quick.

Well, that is kind of the point of 'testing' things out

 

[Herpes Reasons]

everything else looked fine. how about 3pt at 49? maybe that's the magic number.

edit: still fielding offers for shaq. looking for a stud 3 that can either play awesome D or hit the 3-ball...or both.
jefferson(bucks)?
odom?
marion?
kirilenko?

 

[AkaBalla]

ok, my grand plan is almost complete!
im wiling to trade shaq for a stud 3.

Possibly Marion.. Ill need a SF in return though.

 

[strikeselect]

the 3pt rating at 50 felt perfect

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Possibly Marion.. Ill need a SF in return though.

i dont have any small forwards. that's a good straight up trade.
