Re: OKC - [34-13] - Thunder beat Clippers

Nice win, your bench was a little quiet though. Looking back, I've noticed Shannon Brown has been struggling a little the last few games.

I think Westbrook's increased scoring is the reason Brown is struggling. Plus the auto-subbing isn't giving him too much time.

I turned it off once but forgot and my starters played the entire first half before I realised. :lol:

I'm guessing you didn't notice too many ill-effects, either. They've yet to get the fatigue right on the next gen Lives, the last few last gen releases were riddled with fatigue issues as well.

2 more games before All-Star weekend. I'm surprised how fast it's arrived. Doesn't really feel like I've played 47 games. :wink:
First the Kings, (in my 18th straight home game.) Then it's off to Atlanta to face the Hawks.

I might have to play as the Rookies so I can use Griffin. :bowdown2:

Rookie and Sophomore selections announced

Image

The 2011 All-Star weekend is upon us already and everyone is excited to see Blake Griffin in the Rookie vs Sophomore game.
After missing all of the 2009-10 season with a stress fracture injury to his left knee, he has hit the ground running in his first NBA season.
The 6 ft 10 forward has been wowing crowds across the country with his incredibly athletic dunking and aerial prowess.
He is averaging 14.4 PPG and 11.1 RPG in a struggling Clippers team that is currently bottom of the Western Conference with a 14-38 record.
Another player to watch is Washington guard and this season's number 1 draft pick, John Wall. He is also having a stand out debut season.
Although having to play in unfamiliar shooting guard position to accommodate Gilbert Arenas, he is flourishing.
He is giving Griffin a run for his money in the Rookie of the Year award, averaging 17.3 PPG and 6.1 APG. His Wizards are 7th in the East.

Weird bug. I'm guessing you played as the Sophomores?

Re: OKC - [36-13] - Rookies vs Sophomores game

Nope, Rookies. Jerebko got fouled with 0.8 seconds left and made both shots. :x

All-Star selections announced

The selections for this years All-Star game have certainly caused a stir within the NBA community.
There are some surprising selections, but more evident are the omissions for both teams.
Missing out for the East are LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Amare Stoudemire, Derrick Rose and Danny Granger.
While in the West, Monta Ellis, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash all failed to gain selections.
DJ Augustin makes his first All-Star game appearance and Dwight Howard will have to settle for a place on the bench.
Samuel Dalembert's good form has been rewarded with a starting place on the Western All-Star team.
Also rewarded with places on the bench are Michael Beasley, Jeff Green, Aaron Brooks and OJ Mayo.

Re: OKC - [36-13] - Rookies vs Sophomores + All-Star game

Sun Dec 12, 2010 10:00 pm

Hard to pinpoint exactly what's happening there. It seems to be picking one of the leading scorers from the game, in the case of the Rookie Game the leading scorer on the losing team and the leading scorer on the winning team in the All-Star Game, so not quite the same error each time.

Love that screenshot though, it looks like Bosh is palming D-Will's head. :lol:
