: MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISH
I said after Round 1 that if the points in the paint abuse continued, I would make adjustments to contain it. It's continued, so we're moving forward with adjustments to the DUNKS IN TRAFFIC slider. Also with Round 4 beginning, no more trades will be accepted by the league office.

(teams that did NOT make a selection, I'm giving you the duration of Round 4 to still make a pick. Send me or thelonestranger an inbox and we'll add that player to your team. This deal ends when Round 5 begins.)

: ALL STAR SELECTIONS
Without selecting anyone from your own squad, select who you think are the all stars in each position. If you want include some honorable mentions. Select based on the games you've played. Which players were just tough to guard? Which players made a huge difference for their team? Which players consistently night after night produce?

ROUND 4 IS LIVE!
Let's get these games in!

kobe
dirk
shaq
deron
durant (though i havent played him..numbers are pretty impressive)

<-- Mini-me

The only one I don't have complete is the 3 team deal.

Knicks,Celtics,Pistons...you guys are going to have to propose trades for this to work. From what I can see, I can't just move players from one team to another. Once you guys propose those trades I'll send them through. You'll probably have to include some junk to make it all work.

.

Dwight
Kobe
Durant
Dirk
Joe Johnson
Delonte - 5th leading scorer and hasn't started a single game
Derrick Rose

PG - Delonte West (dude has wrapped up the 6th man award already)

^^^Rasheed to Detroit for Wilcox (who i'm going to drop)


Then I need to sign my 2 draft picks:

JERMAINE O'NEIL
DARREN COLLISON

I'll be dropping Sergio Rod.. and/or Joe Smith to make room


Thanks

We can only drop/add players when it's dealing with free agents.

does Aaron Brooks go home with 0 points?

meet me in the trap... its goin down

I'm going online to finish this 3 team trade.

Hit me up here, twitter (@dseals) if you want to play.

..

You have to set up a custom game.

let me know when your ready to see God.

So, I have a friend staying with me and during their visit they'll be watching a lot of Netflix. So while XBL will say I'm online, I'm really not. Please continue to send messages through XBL, here or twitter (@dseals). But if I don't answer, it's because they're watching season 1 of Bones (yeah, I know). With the episodes being just under an hour, I can usually jump in between.

Just know that I'm not ignoring you. Cool?

.

...and try to check stuff.

Anyone around for a game then?

it will probably be more like 5:15pm-ish or so.

.

PG- Delonte "Don't bring yo mama round me" West
SG- Black Mamba
SF- Durantula
PF- Dirk "The Sweet German" Nowitzki
C- Dwight "Goofy-ass" Howard

*Honorable mention at:

C- Joakim Noah 15.6 pts, 9.3 rebs, 2.1 blks
PF- Pau Gasol
SF- Trevor Ariza
SG- Vince Carter
PG- Deron Williams

.

bout to run out w/the fam for a while

fucking amazing ass game that went to the buzzer in OT and the Pistons are happy to be as competitive with working Wallace into the lineup. Wallace showed his love for the D by dropping a game high 30 points and providing good low post defense.


Unfortunately Ben Gordon's british ass will be riding a bike home since he missed a 6 foot shot with .3 seconds left in OT after a horrific long ass pass went out of bounds that was intended for D. West.

....i'll give you Crawford

When top teams lose to non playoff squads, that next game they come out guns a blazin!

yeah that (lol) and because for the first time in a long time, i had a healthy rudy gay back. Dude was dunkin and catchin oops on everyone

i could have put the game out of reach but didn't so it's on me. It's cool though I hope it makes you feel better about yourself because there. will. be. no. more. freebies.

He hath spoken.

it feels so strange...

I'm pissed off that Charter is having a hard time installing my new line. It just became available and I thought they'd be able to have it installed yesterday but its like they have some other stuff they have to do before I get service. Been having to drive a couple miles to my parents house to use their internet. They're away in Boston tho. So until I get my new Charter, I'm setting up my 360 at their place. lol

I've got to go do some deep breathing techniques right now

I mean really man.

Andre Kirlenko as your starting center will do that to you. I'm not going to argue about this point just put a limit on how many "pip" are allowed per game and be done with it.

Find another shot.

.

PIP abuse is when mofos don't even try to do anything but dunk. You should at least a grip of attempts outside of the paint.

I'll be in a training class all week, so I won't be getting off until 7pm CDT.
I'll have a few hours in the mornings, until 11am CDT, so Inbox me during those times and we should be able to knock these out.

I can definitely be on anytime after 3pm PST(probably earlier). Hit me up on the boards or on XBOX Live. I'll watch both.

more than likely I'll be on a little before the Laker game and afterward, unless it's a blow-out.

You hitting all these midrange and 3 point shots on me.

Played with my help defense too high all game and couldnt stop the Rondon dribble drive, kick out to the open man.

Playing to your players strengths!? WTF

Youre a one trick pony?

You going to exploit that the whole game?

Come on fam not cool.

(snark)

I'm home now.

Won't be when the game comes on later.

.

.

Done

I have some running around to do before I get home

and I'll be there today.

<-- Mini-me

but I should be on around 5:15 pst this evening. I will only be able to stay on until 7pm or so, but hopefully I can get a game with you and Chapman. Unless you're available this morning before 11:30am pst or tomorrow morning?

I hope I can catch you during those times mentioned, but that depends if the TV is open.... I ain't the only one using the TV in the house.

LOL!!!!

we are going to the Maxwell and Jill Scott concert right after work.

I should be able to get our games in tonight. I should be online around 10pm EST. Let me know if that works.

...just waitin for you

I haven't heard shit from you the entire week.

<-- Mini-me

Le's get it!

Tyreke
Deron
Jason
Carlos
Andrei

...it's on.

that 2nd quarter must have had 5 24 second violations.

that was one ugly game. lol

tomorrow since you're at the wack-ass concert (I'm hatin).

Dude's cable went out. He's supposed to get it fixed soon. We're going to extend the round for right now.

I can still watch recordings from the DVR, but the cable and internet don't work.

They said they'd send someone out today, so hopefully they can fix whatever the hell is going on...

with directv or dish, you see that tornado looking weather outside and know why it aint working.

lol

>I can still watch recordings from the DVR, but the cable and
>internet don't work.

That's because your DVR recordings are stored on a hard drive in the DVR box. That's separate from your cable/internet signal. Hopefully, it's not the box because if they replace the box, there goes your DVR recordings.


<-- Mini-me

My plan was to defend Joe one on one until you decided to take the shot. I was gonn bring the double team at the last second. I didn't want to risk doubling early and you kicking out for an open jumper. I miscalculated and was slow bringing the double team.

Last 2 movies I saw:

Get Him to the Greek: C
Hot Tub Time Machine: B-

it seems like sometimes dudes don't want to release the ball as quickly as you'd like. But when that went in you should have seen me jumping up. LOL

I went on an amazing run when down by 20 only to come up 3 points short of the win!

.

Possible finals matchup up next in about 5 mins

comish and co-comish

LB reset the game

There was some kind of problem, and they weren't able to make it at the scheduled time for today.

So if you want to go ahead and move forward with the round, you can go ahead and give me the two Ls...that's cool.

or Lebron put his hands on him cause he was cooooooooooold this last game. Great game though reality. Ronnie Brewer and OJ Mayo came up huge this game.

the style of game that you perfected.

around 11:00 pm central time..... hopefully I'll see y'all then.

sorry I was only on for a limited amount of time yesterday because of the Laker game. But tonight I should be on.

.

between 5pm and 7pm/ 7:30ish pst. But if I end up staying in tonight I'll try and jump on at 9pm pst. That's the earliest for you?

so ...... you know..... I'll inbox you my phone number.....

Just text me when you are available

.

7-7:30pm pst. After that I'll probably be heading out and won't be back on until tomorrow.

If you don't have your games played by then, I will randomly determine a winner.

you're my last game of this round.

Until the US vs UK world cup match (2 hours)

Chicago vs Pistons

Click on the link and switch between both teams in the shot chart.. (right side top)


http://community.2ksports.com/community/league/game.cfm?l=411226&g=20712145



thoughts?

But since you're asking for opinions...let's look at our first game we played:

http://community.2ksports.com/community/league/game.cfm?l=411226&g=20712025

Face the facts...you're garbage. You talk all of that crap and you lost!!!


RUNTELDAT!!!!

you need to accept the fact that your rely on abusing the paint. I lost that game to myself by missing simple shots. period. your not competition and without rose you can't run around in circles to get to the basket. I hope your able to make the playoffs which will mean, since you might be able to squeak in, that you'll be able to play me in the first round. Enjoy your win and try a jumpshot from time to time.

I'm kettle...nice to meet you

oh, and yeah...you ARE garbage

60+ out of 82 in the paint (at least in our game) is a little suspect.
I have noone to blame for the loss but myself, but abusing the inside scoring is just a cheesy way to play.



<-- Mini-me

but i'm not listening to someone bitch about PIP when they average more PIP per game than I do.

we probably took the same amount of shots in the paint but the difference was....his weren't falling. Then he started chucking 3s, and those weren't falling either. He ran on here to cry about it because for some reason he felt that he was not supposed to lose.

and look at my score..... 113-85 "L"

looking at y'all's PIPs.... I'm taking the gloves off... eff all dat

..i dont mind the PIP abuse at all anymore because good D will stop it ...only cheap shit im still seeing from a few people is ally oop abuse ..theres no reason why that shit should work over defenders as much as it does

I've tried to support some sense of balanced gaming on 2K, but there's only a handful of us actually trying.

>but there's only a handful of us actually trying.

True indeed. It's sad, and it seems to be getting worse. I can respect a loss with a balanced game plan but this shit is becoming something else.


<-- Mini-me

>..i dont mind the PIP abuse at all anymore because good D
>will stop it <


That weak-ass pass to the cutter every play stuff can't be stopped, even with good defense. But good defense can stop post up moves and guys trying to score in the paint off the dribble....or at least limit it's success. People wouldn't be using the cheese moves if they didn't work more than not. That to me is the main PIP abuse problem. Scoring off post moves doesn't bother me as much as the "run around and wait for the CPU defender to get out of position and quickly pass to the cutter" stuff.

But with 8 games left, it's whatever.

average. Who knew?

<-- Mini-me

But it's a lost cause. Keeping the league balanced is a losing battle when guys just play differently. I'm not saying jamming the ball in the paint every play is wrong, it's just not the way *I* like to play. That's not fun to me. But it's cool. We've made it through four rounds, I'd like to finish up what we started.

just respond here on hit me otherwise (links are in my profile)

gotta use the time when the little one is asleep

sad really...
