NBA Live? Ugh. 2K is leagues better. How can you play Live?

I saw the picture Noah took with Stern at the draft. He looked like a demented mixture of Bozo the clown and the Joker with that smile and suit. It was pretty funny. And Stern looked like a midget clown standing next to him.

NO! Zabian Dowdell is going to try out for the Sonics. How could you turn on your hometown team?

Well, DBella, I'm now going to encourage you to be a Sonics fan. Unless they don't sign him to a contract after summer league. Then they don't deserve fans.

P.S. I vote 2k, too. But if I get a game next year, I might have to think because Gilbert's Live's coverboy. But I'll still probably end up getting 2k, if I get an NBA game this season.

Dude, it's not just any version of Live. It's NBA Live 2001. For PC. I kick it old-school.

T-MAC IS POSTING-UP FELIPE LOPEZ. LOOK AT THE DETAIL.

Oh, and you're right about Noah. One of the live draft blogs I read said something like "REVELATION: JOAKIM NOAH LOOKS LIKE EVERY BATMAN VILLAIN COMBINED."

Old School! Try Abandoned school. I thought I was bad with my NBA 2k6.

Ouch that elbow into the groin better have been called.

My Magic dynasty is pretty ****ing sweet. Kevin Garnett, Nenad Krstic, Josh Smith, Richard Hamilton, and Delonte West. 56-0 so far.
And yes, I spent an entire weekend a few months ago making ~100 players so the game would be up-to-date.

Probably. This game calls offensive fouls like crazy.

I usually do that with my NBA, NHL and MLB games. Madden gets updated every year.

Hahahaha. The Blazers fans hate him. That's sad. Forehead pounds complete my life.

R.I.P.

Also, the Heat made a qualifying offer to Earl Barron, making him a restricted free agent. J, your franchise is safe.

I miss those clipper days

Cuban claims Don Nelson used 'Confidential Information' to beat Dallas

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-mavericks-cuban-nelsondispute&prov=ap&type=lgns

This quote says it all...

"Don may know that (Dirk) Nowitzki likes to turn toward his left shoulder not his right shoulder, but we don't think that's a trade secret or confidential information," Nelson's attorney, John O'Connor, said by phone Friday from his San Francisco office. "Cuban apparently does."



Wow Cuban...wow.

You probably could've spent that weekend working, & just bought a updated system, or game.

J posted this a while back. This is why Dallas is hated by so many. What a horrible show of bad sportsmanship.:

NEWARK, N.J. -- Vince Carter opted out of the final year of a contract with the New Jersey Nets that would have paid the All-Star guard $16.3 million this coming season.



Carter
Nets' President Rod Thorn said Saturday the team was informed Friday that Carter would test the free agent market, but he remained optimistic the 30-year-old swingman would return next season.

"Unless he's changed his mind, we're hoping he's back," Thorn told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "He said he wants to return and we've always said we wanted him back."

The two sides have talked about a contract for the past month, and they are close to an agreement on a four-year deal worth more than $60 million.

Any new contract could not be signed until July 11. If the two sides reach an agreement, Thorn said the team is prohibited from announcing the deal until then.

Kurt Schoeppler, Carter's agent, has not returned telephone calls left at his Cleveland office since the negotiations began. He did not return a call on Saturday.

Carter averaged team-highs of 25.2 points in the regular season and 22.3 for the postseason.

If there is a knock on Carter, who will be entering his 10th season, it's his failure to step up in the playoffs. He shot less than 40 percent from the field in the postseason and he made several big mistakes.

Carter turned the ball over in the closing seconds of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinal against Cleveland with the Nets down two points and 2-1 in the series. He also was somewhat of a no-show for the deciding Game 6, scoring 11 points while having more turnovers (5) than baskets (4).

The other potential free agent the Nets would like to lock up is center Mikki Moore, who took over the starting job after Nenad Krstic was lost in December with a knee injury. Moore averaged career-bests of 9.8 points and 5.1 rebounds while leading the league in field goal percentage .609.

[bananafish]

There's a moratorium period. They can negotiate contracts, but they can't sign them until the 11th, I think.
