Granger's going up for the goaltend in that screenshot. Nice win.

^ Yep. The referee called it too.

I love having Shannon Brown coming off the bench. He was shooting like he has been in real life recently in this game.
May be in with a shot at 6th man award at the end of the season if he keeps his scoring up.

Yeah it seems he's definitely been a spark for you off the bench. Here's hoping the awards logic doesn't screw you over.

30/1/10

Oklahoma City Thunder [30-12] vs Philadelphia 76ers [14-32]

Thunder continue winning form



OKC - 32 29 27 28 116
PHI - 21 24 41 17 103

Player of the Game: Russell Westbrook



Video Highlights
Durant finds himself in space and takes advantage.
Flash

Solid game from Westbrook. Not quite matching the scoring of his real life counterpart but those opportunities aren't really there with your roster (and a healthy Durant) and he's certainly still contributing.

Close race for the scoring crown. Nice to see the top eight in both conferences at .500 or better, too.

Oklahoma City Thunder [31-12] vs Washington Wizards [23-20]

Westbrook and Green star in win over Wizards



OKC - 35 24 34 31 124
WAS - 21 32 23 33 109

Player of the Game: Kevin Durant



Video Highlights

25 assists and only three turnovers, nice. Tough night shooting the ball for Westbrook but the assists sure made up for it, certainly didn't stand in the way of you picking up the win.

Haven't checked this one out in a while. Great to see Westbrook breaking records!

But, this is bad:

Houston
31/01/10 - Yao Ming - Broken bone in his Foot - 1 month

That spells disaster.

Jamison maintaining 30ppg?

Yeah, how Jamison is playing, that's great numbers. Always nice to see Westbrook like that, if he continues like this in real life, he's my lock for MIP.

31/01/10 - Yao Ming - Broken bone in his Foot - 1 month

Proof that NBA Live 10's sim engine does indeed have its moments. One can only hope that the real Yao can make it through the year without another broken foot, the strained tendon alone has to be disheartening for Rockets fans.

Brown hits a wide open three.

At least you didn't have to wait long to get a little payback. Looks like you did a nice job limiting Lee in that one.

Clippers up next. Hopefully Griffin doesn't replicate his RL form.

Good to see you got payback from the Warriors, despite Curry's big night.

I really don't like that avatar you have.

I really don't like that avatar you have.

No Santa Hat, right?

Yes, put a Santa Hat on Westbrook, that way it looks like Russell Westclaus is dunking on Battier.
