Billups was put onto the trading block and in a desperate move to get rid of him, agreed with the Indiana Pacers for a straight swap for Troy Murphy. Billups soon after was again rumored on the trading block, and now in Milwaukee.

oh right on. Hm... maybe I could try that swap in my association lol, after all, T.J. Ford is injured for a month and some weeks and we could use a championship experience player on our young squad

I desperately need a good PG for my Heat... Chalmers, Quinn? Billups would be amazing.

That would be cool - Billups + Wade =

Monster games from Redd!

Pretty good job so far. I hate how the Clippers are always one of the elite teams in associations, when they are terrible in real life.

Redd seems unstoppable. Shame that 1-11 3PT game, he could have posted 70 points

42 points from Redd is thug nasty! And then 41 later on is even nastier (In a good way). Great job with this man.

Thanks for all the comments guys! I can't believe how difficult it is for me to make a three with Redd, it annoys me sometimes. Wait till you hear what he did in Phoenix!!!

Lakers Win 13th Straight Despite Gay's 39
NBA.com - 7/12/08

Los Angeles, CA - The Los Angeles Lakers won their 13th straight game today, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 131-109.

Milwaukee started the game off well, with them going on a 4-0 run to start the game. The Lakers however, one of the favorites this year to win the championship that eluded them last year, were not going to let a team barely over .500 to beat them. Derek Fisher hit a three-pointer and made many attempts to give Andrew Bynum the ball in the paint. He would do much damage to the Bucks inside. Also, Kobe Bryant started the game off well, scoring 8 points in the quarter and finished with 20 points in the game, including two thunderous dunks. The quarter ended with Milwaukee down 29-23. Then the game started to go wrong for Milwaukee. They missed easy inside shots and misunderstandings on defense cost them open shots for Los Angeles, which they would score. Los Angeles hit 10 three-pointers in the game, compared to Milwaukee's 4. Not even Ramon Sessions having a 18 points second quarter or Rudy Gay's 16 points in the third quarter could help Milwaukee's cause. The Lakers absolutely dominated on the glass (48 vs. 29), and showed no mercy.

Key Players
T. Ariza - 21 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 7-9 FG, 4-5 3PT, 3-3 FT
A. Bynum - 20 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 10-14 FG

R. Gay - 39 points, 6 assists, 6 steals, 12-26 FG, 2-6 3PT, 13-13 FT
R. Sessions - 18 points, 6-12 FG, 6-6 FT


Redd Red Hot against Suns, Scores 80
ESPN - 9/12/08

Phoenix, AZ - The Milwaukee Bucks beat the sub-par Phoenix Suns, 133-125, thanks to Michael Redd's incredible 80 point performance, which is third highest in NBA history for most points scored in a single game, behind Wilt Chamberlain (100 points) and Kobe Bryant (81 points).

Michael Redd absolutely dominated every quarter of the game. He scored 18 points in the first quarter, which was exciting to watch. However the Suns, thanks to point guard and two-time MVP Steve Nash, were able to get they whole team involved to counter everything Redd had. The Suns had the lead going into the second quarter, 36-33. Redd continued his scoring in the second, the Suns not deciding to double him so he took every opportunity he could get, and he executed them perfectly. Again however, The Suns ball movement and second chance points kept them in the game, and were still up 53-52 at the end of the half, despite Redd's 37 point half. Then Milwaukee were able to pull away. After a few buckets by Redd, Phoenix chose to double him, but his excellent court vision and passing ability were able to find open teammates with ease. However despite a 86-71 deficit going into the fourth quarter the Suns would come back, cutting Milwaukee's lead down to as close as 3. But Milwaukee kept feeding it to Redd, and he continued to deliver, and held off the Phoenix run for the win.

Key Players
M. Redd - 80 points, 10 assists, 6 steals, 33-64 FG, 9-29 3PT, 5-6 FT
M. Camby - 18 points, 20 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks, 8-12 FG, 2-2 FT

A. Stoudemire - 22 points, 14 rebounds, 10-21 FG, 2-2 FT
S. Nash - 21 points, 18 assists, 8-13 FG, 5-7 3PT

Holy crap! 80 points!

OMG! Excellent performance...

Wow! Great job. Two more points and you could have broken Kobe's record.

wow nice, but dont forget camby monster game aswell, flirting with a triple double

XxCavaliers, I gave up an offensive rebound with about 5 seconds to go in the game, and if I would of gotten that I probably would have beaten Kobe's record.

Shabron, Camby's been a beast on the glass and is pretty solid inside, averaging like 10+ points and 12+ rebounds.

Sorry for the lack of full updates as I want to speed up this association a little..

It was a uneven first half for both teams though. Miami took the early lead thanks to Wade's passing and the Heat's inside scoring, and had a 28-23 lead going into the second. Then the Bucks evened up the score mid-way through the quarter and eventually took a small lead, thanks to their quick hands which got them steals and easy fast-break points. The score at half-time was 54-52 Milwaukee. Then the game went back-and-forth. Each basket was answered, each missed was replicated, and neither team could pull away from the other.
