Solid win, hwo good would Rip play at small foward, cos Wade would be nice at starting SG.

I think you should tweak your sliders a little, cos form the stats you've been posting there should be some more rebounds.

Thanks. Wade nearly plays as much as Rip and Billups, might go 6th man and I like Prince even though he plays less than 30 minutes a game he's got height, defends well and has the 3 point stroke.
I get about 35 to 45 boards a game while the computer gets about 30 to 40.

Man your scores are relistic, how do you do it, you must play really good D

[beast_is_unleashed]

I kind of play like Detroit in real life. Snails pace use the shot clock, if I get an Offensive rebound I reset the offence and on D I try to contest their shots and control the boards. the Wallace pair have really helped on D but Im still trying to keep a team under 80. Don't think i'll be able to match the Pistons in real life though
