Prepare for some Oden-Witt showerfun

Best use of showerfun in recent memory.

Yes, I thought it was rather good myself. I re-read it before posting, knowing that such a polarising term should not be used everyday

New York still wants Eddy Curry? For five years too?

Virtual Eddy Curry is alright, he shows up to games & does his bit. He got out of the doghouse last season & was the team's starting centre after they traded Turiaf to Hornets in deal for the Itai

OKC has a lot of cash to spend 15M on Iverson.

My first reaction too. Wow. I hope OKC knows what they're doing with that one

My Association if off rosters from about mid-October I believe and is pre-patch, so I don't know if this affects it at all.

What have your signings looked like? I wouldn't compare to trades though.

I think the Horford deal is fine, considering what the others got paid. Garcia deal is fine too. Yao & Oden deals are solid considering it's a computer game & both will be healthy & capable. Conley is actually turning into a pretty solid PG in my Association.

That being said, I don't like the signing/re-signing amounts for Yi, Hawes or Gee & I don't even know who Mark is.

[The X]

Sorry this is moving at its usual snail's pace. Not really in mood to do update at moment since quite sore from melanoma and a chunk out of my back taken out yesterday.

Hope all is well with all & make sure to get your skin checked out often

I guess I changed my mind. Off-season over.

[Lamrock]

Can't wait for the regular season! Hope to see 3 point guard lineups once you're mathematically eliminated by January.

Can't wait for the regular season! Hope to see 3 point guard lineups once you're mathematically eliminated by January.

The harsh reality from Lamrock

PIC OF THE DAY



It only took Ricky two games to fall to his first injury. Doing his best Vince Carter impersonation, Rubio strained his lower back and will miss up to a month after shooting an uncontested jumpshot.

[Fresh8]

eh... How the hell can you get injured by shooting an uncontested jumper? Way to go Ricky!

[The X]

NLSC MULTIVERSE


Sorry to the Multiverse guys, I forgot to post pics from pre-draft workouts. Here's a few I took a long while back:


Witt gambles against Washburn


Dragic block another weak arse shot by Chinese star Jin Lam


Woodson bricks another jumper


Marcel Moore in the house representing fundamentalist layups

[The X]

eh... How the hell can you get injured by shooting an uncontested jumper? Way to go Ricky!

I think he was just shocked to see it go in. Maybe Billups undercut him late, I dunno. It's almost deja vu to Flynn getting injured last season. Exact same injury on baseline shooting a jumper.

[The X]

True to my word, all five NLSC-ers have 5 o'clock shadows

Aside from that, updates have been slim & will continue to be slim. These long work days are killing me atm & will continue for another 6 weeks at least. Such is life. Ahh well, I did get a chance to play my first game of 2k in about 3 months so I was happy about that. Who knows, might get to play another one this long Easter weekend if I'm not doing some work.

[Fresh8]

I'm betting you will be working as will I.

[The X]

I'm betting you will be working as will I.

Likely, although I'd like to think I'll get to play a game or so

Get stitches out on Thursday so might reward myself but catching up on work around the house

[Fresh8]

Yes, maybe you should play one game I will be recovering from my Thursday night exam by writing a stupid paper due next Tuesday and back to work on Wednesday. Ahhhhhh

And reason I have not responded re: your mole is that it makes me cringe to think of stitches and surgery and the like lol but gl

[Valor]

It only took Ricky two games to fall to his first injury

Oh boy....

[Lamrock]

Glad to see this back, and Lambros in action. Sucks about Rubio, but I guess your offseason moves prepared for this/

[kibaxx7]

At least you're on .500 How's Svensson doing?

[Justine.]

Tough luck for Rubio, injuring without any contact

[The X]

Thierry, Svensson has to find his feet, as does Bradley.

To everybody else, the Rubio injury is a blessing in disguise as I get the chance to get more of a look at my two rookie point guards. I'll use time to evaluate since one to two point guards will eventually be dealt.

[Grandmama Johnson]

Hey X, are you recovering alright? Sorry to hear life has been so busy
