  1. I`m subbed to you man! haha You`re the reason I bought NCAA 12, what game are you intersted in playing again?
  2. Hey guys, I'm starting a new sports gaming channel which includes 2k12. I've got no subs at this point lol, so a few subs to start me out wouldn't hurt, Thanks guys! http://www.youtube.com/user/GamingSportsGuru
  3. Agreed, Lebrons going off and having an unbelievable year. I'm aware of how bad the Lakers bench is and how Bynum and Gasol are somewhat underperforming, but I'm sure if Lebron was in Kobe's shoes playing for that team in that situation, the Lakers would have a better record and Bynum, Gasol and the rest of the Lakers players would be having better statistical seasons.
  4. I was at this game, and it seemed whenever lin touched the ball the boos would weigh down like mad, but as soon as he scored, got a rebound or anything the crowd would go nuts. Anyway, probably the best sporting event I've ever been to, that was awesome!
  5. Should The Magic Trade Dwight? As we all know, Dwight Howard is the most dominate big men in the league, and perhaps the only one who has a similar Lebron James effect Howard has been in the league for over 7 years now and still, The Orlando Magic roster apart from him is not good at all. I understand Dwight’s decision to want to leave Orlando for a team that has other solid assets that can contribute to a title contending team. Sure, Orlando has a few guys who can help Howard out (Anderson, Nelson, and Richardson) but after 7 years of being the best big man in the league and that’s the best supporting crew your team can get you, I to would not be happy. I’m sure you’ve all heard the owner of the Magic recently come out and say they don’t want to trade Dwight. Obviously Dwight won’t be traded until after the All-Star game, if he even does get traded. The Magic’s hopes are that everything goes great in the 2nd have of the year, the Magic contend and maybe even win a title and hopefully, this will convince Dwight to stay in Orlando. Now of course, with the league having such good competition, this utopia that The Magic has doesn’t have too good of chances to come true, which is why this question The Magic has, is so difficult. What if they do trade him? Let’s say after the all-star break nearing the trade deadline, The Magic trade Dwight to the Lakers, or The Nets. Because Dwight is such a great player and is considered the best Center in the league, The Magic would get some players/picks for him. What this means, because Dwight was on the team for a majority of the season, he was able to get them into a contending position. Then The Magic is able to still compete for their title, and their newly acquired piece(s) get to find their role with their new squad. If I was The Magic GM, that is what I would do. But, doing that is a lot easier said than done. Over the past 7 or so years, Dwight has turned The Magic franchise from a basement dweller, to a top contender, almost alone. And I’m sure The Magic management is more than aware of this, and if they even have the slightest of shots to keep Dwight on their team, I could understand why they would take that shot. And afterall if the Magic can somehow convince Dwight to stay in Orlando, than Otis Smith and the rest of management would look like a genius. Currently, The Magic has a 16-10 record thanks in large part to the 20 pts. 15 reb. season of Dwight Howard. Now that record doesn’t look too bad, things haven’t gone too smoothly in Orlando. They blew around a 40 point lead to The Celtics which kicked off a brutal losing streak. During this losing streak, Dwight publically called out his teammates, which is never a good thing. My point is, if The Magic can keep winning games and get into a playoff position, than even if they trade Dwight or not, they’re still going to have a shot at the title. Who knows, maybe if they trade Dwight, they get some depth, they start learning how each other play, and then boom, you’ve got The Denver Nuggets! In the end, regardless of what The Magic end up doing, I understand whatever way they go. They’ve been put in a very unique tricky spot here and have one of the toughest decisions a team will have to make. Do you let Dwight play it out, try and get him to regain his love for Orlando? Or trade him and at least get something for the star big man? Whatever choice the Magic make you can bet either way, fan of The Magic or not, it will be very, highly criticized.
  6. Alright, we'd need atleast 7 more guys!
  7. I was goona try and get a fantasy baseball league going, but I thought maybe finding some guys on here would be funner and easier to do. So if anyone would want to take part let me know (It will be on ESPN). We can discuss settings later, but I was thinking 10-12 guys, maybe 16, with H2H scoring, but we can work that out. So, if you`re intersted, let me know!
  8. I've got the 2011 Hyper Dunks and I love them. They`ve got great anle support, and are crazy light. I think the shoes are great for any position/playstyle
  9. I agree, he isn't perfect, but all Im saying is, if Raps dont get a top 5 pick and say end with an 8th or 9th overall pick or something along those lines, I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Raps uni
  10. Whats wrong with Perry Raps get worked on the glass, and with Jonas and A tall lengthy 3 like Perry, they could dominate
  11. Could've sworn I read in the offseason he was done for the year, oh well He could'nt make much of a difference if any, could maybe give him some time to figure out how to play with his teammates. I love this guy and I'm all for the Raps going for him!
  12. Even if Raps do get him, he's not goona be playing this season. So why not go after him? Would only make the Raps better for next season, plus with 2 young rookies coming in with Barg and Derozans scoring ability, could have a great team next year.
  13. I think Perry Jones could be just what the Raps need. Big, lengthy tall wing player who can play some 4. Could give them help offensivley, and on the glass where we know they need some serious help.
  14. Raps played the Magic, and Knicks, and he probably got matched up with Dirk also
