I got the PC version and we still haven't got a patch yet. It really blows when you hold a 4-point lead till the end then the comp intentionally foul you (but no call), nail a 3 and then a jumper to win the game. I am not sure about 360 or PS3 version, but the PC version is pretty glitched up without the patch so I can't imagine how bad it will be if the patch stuff it up even further.

Where does Kwame Brown,Darko,Dajuan Wagner,Jay Williams and all these other busts come into the picture if V.C and his career 23.5 points is the biggest underachiever of all-time?

Also because NBA is a players' league. First go coaches, then go players. Not to mention that more money has to be paid in order to buy out any player who didn't breach their contract...and paying out million of $$ while getting nothing back hurts.

He certainly play more like a center than Channing Frye in the Suns' line-up.

I personally think that Joe Dumars drafted Austin Daye as a replacement for Prince as they are so similiar. No doubt he'll be traded but the problem is who will take him.

George Hill played fantastic. Great D despite losing some height against Kobe.

The only difference I would make would be that I would pick Josh Smith over Mo Williams as I believe that Josh Smith has improved more with the Hawks than Mo Williams has improved more with the Cavs. I admit that this decision could be affected by my anti-cavs mind though.

It's great to see an efficient scorer early in a player's career. The problem with some rookies/sophs are that they don't know what are good shots and what are bad shots and while passing could lead to a shot that would go in 80-90% of the time, they would decide to shoot a shot that would go in 50-60% of the time and that lead to less playing time. To get rid of that problem is great news and Gordon has a bright future ahead of him. Off topic but sad to see D.J scoring drop to just a mere 5.7 points and that he is not making the most out of his shots.

His contract is expiring anyway so not much harm done to the Kings. At least he give them another center to use.

Dam shame. He successfully transformed from an athletic player to one of the best shooters in the league but now he can't get away from injury. I would say his career is essentially done, unfortunately.

I doubt they are going to trade Wright as he is a vital part of their future. I think that they would more likely trade James Jones (4.3 mil) or one of the other swingmen they have in Daequan Cook and Y.Diawara.

Haven't actually seen Chalmers made a game winning/tying shot in the NBA so Ben Gordon.

There should be at least 1 rocket in every team selected... PG: Aaron Brooks SG: Devin Brown SF: Gerald Wallace PF: Antawn Jamison C: Chuck Hayes

Having played the BETA until I got capped (just the wrong time) I must say despite not being a fan of shooting games (my only other shooting game being Halo 3 and have only experienced a little bit of COD:MW2), this game is incredible when the team-mates work with you. I experience no lag when playing a game mode with 256 players and only lags after I got capped but despite that, the game was still playable. Maybe it's due to my lack of experience of shooting games, but I was very, very impressed with the game. It's now on top of my wantlist. EDIT: That said, it'll be interesting to see whether this game still remain free online given the cost to maintain such high level servers for massive number of players to play together. There have been rumors about MAG that it will be pay-to-play but none have been confirmed.

He would get some PT in any team that require more than two big men playing significant minutes in a rotation. Sadly, the Knicks have two big men that put up consistent numbers in Al Harrington and David Lee and when they need a breather Landry is playing. He'll get some playing time eventually I hope for the sake of the Knicks. He can put up the stats if given the time.

From this article on ESPN It seems out of reach that they'll hire an expensive coach considering they would re-hire Tim Floyd as the main assistant coach despite his terrible record in the NBA and considering that none of their former head coaches had a really great reputation (Byron Scott maybe, but rumour has it that his assistant coaches does most of the work during his stint with the Nets. He might've been involved with the Hornets but his reputation didn't really increase after his stint with them anyway.), would Avery Johnson be the right fit for the Hornets?

Not sure the point of getting Humphries when Sean Williams is just as, maybe even more, talented than him. I guess the Nets are just throwing little trades in the hope that the new players will be able to support the starting 5 of the team, who I think have potential to be a brilliant starting 5 in the future.

The problem is that when Kevin Martin is their best player, the stats of the people surrounding him drops. Being a scorer, he takes potential shooting opportunities away from JT, Tyreke Evans, Nocioni and Hawes. It works when he makes 60% of the 20-25 shots but not when he makes just 20% of the shots.

They used to be better with him, but not anymore. He adds that sort of unpredictability to a team that, at the moment, needs a leader who is stable and able to be consistent while also helping his team-mates. I am not saying Arenas did not do any of that, but Jamison seems to be a better leader at the moment.

Still...they should be trying to get an upgrade on the wing positions to complement Deron Williams and Ronnie Brewer. Wesley Matthews and C.J Miles aren't really starting materials. There surely are better trade offers for an all-star player like Boozer but this trade would work better if the Jazz doesn't waive Gooden though, they can use him.

I don't think the Jazz would be satisfied with getting Eduardo Najera for Carlos Boozer.

One question going back in time. As we know, Chicago Bulls dominated the 1990s' (we'll ignore 1994,1995 and 1999) but which Bulls' three-peat line-up is better? Here are the line-ups for the first three-peat and the second three-peat. (From wikipedia) First era: Chicago Bulls 1990–91 NBA Champions 2 Hopson | 5 Paxson | 10 Armstrong | 14 Hodges | 23 Jordan (Finals MVP) | 24 Cartwright | 32 Perdue | 33 Pippen | 34 King | 42 Williams | 53 Levingston | 54 Grant | Chicago Bulls 1991–92 NBA Champions 5 Paxson | 10 Armstrong | 14 Hodges | 20 Hansen | 21 King | 23 Jordan (Finals MVP) | 24 Cartwright | 32 Perdue | 33 Pippen | 42 Williams | 53 Levingston | 54 Grant | Chicago Bulls 1992–93 NBA Champions 5 Paxson | 6 Tucker | 10 Armstrong | 20 Walker | 21 King | 22 McCray | 23 Jordan (Finals MVP) | 24 Cartwright | 32 Perdue | 33 Pippen | 42 Williams | 54 Grant | The main starting line-up being: PG B.J Armstrong SG Michael Jordan SF Scottie Pippen PF Horace Grant C Bill Cartwright Second era: Chicago Bulls 1995–96 NBA Champions 0 Brown | 7 Kukoč | 8 Simpkins | 9 Harper | 13 Longley | 22 Salley | 23 Jordan (Finals MVP) | 25 Kerr | 30 Buechler | 33 Pippen | 34 Wennington | 35 Caffey | 53 Edwards | 54 Haley | 91 Rodman | Chicago Bulls 1996–97 NBA Champions 00 Parish | 1 Brown | 7 Kukoč | 8 Simpkins | 9 Harper | 13 Longley | 18 Williams | 23 Jordan (Finals MVP) | 25 Kerr | 30 Buechler | 33 Pippen | 34 Wennington | 35 Caffey | 91 Rodman | Chicago Bulls 1997–98 NBA Champions 1 Brown | 5 LaRue | 7 Kukoč | 8 Simpkins | 9 Harper | 13 Longley | 22 Booth | 23 Jordan (Finals MVP) | 24 Burrell | 25 Kerr | 30 Buechler | 33 Pippen | 34 Wennington | 53 Kleine | 91 Rodman | The main starting line-up being: PG Ron Harper SG Michael Jordan SF Scottie Pippen PF Dennis Rodman C Luc Longley The teams both contain former all-stars (Bill Cartwright and Dennis Rodman, BJ got into the all-star game after he was with the Bulls) and role players on the bench (Craig Hodges, Scott Williams, John Paxson for the first era and Toni Kukoc, Jud Buechler and Steve Kerr for the second era) but there might be a bit more depth in the second era than the first era in my opinion. It's your call.

more like a.k.a Wilt offense in Philly X years ago.
