Pretty darn happy with my team to be honest from 30th pickFlying along at 9-2. Got bloody lucky against Jimbo in my 1st game and followed that up with a win on the buzzer against Detroit. Likely won't make a trade all season cause my guys simply arn't what anyone is really after

Wiz, if you need an extra Admin, I'm always happy to and I'm on quite regularly too.

Was a thriller ey! And yes, I think we both agreed throughout that the sliders were rather unrealistic in that game...I can't remember the shooting percentages, but I know very little missed. Whether the sliders are like that or harder though, I am and always have been a shooter. Sometimes can be very easy to stop me because of it, other times I get on a role. Just worked to get my guys open while trying to stop your paint barrage, so basically it was same old same old between us mate!
Man you went on a sweet run late to get up 7, mainly due to DeRozan down on the baseline each time down and I had to bring the double or suffer! When it was 54secs left and 7 down I was like...man this is tough. But open trey for Afflalo with 46secs left. Didn't foul, got the ball back, got a little lucky with Deng for 3 on the break, but then you didn't really close him out either. So was 1 point with 13secs left! 2 fouls and 3 seconds later, Landry had the chance to seal the game, but missed the 2nd FT! Whipped it up court and got damn lucky with Afflalo again for 3 to steal it. Probably 1 of the most exhilarating wins I have had on 2k! Can understand the jibbed feeling you had though. Was hoping for an easier match up for the 1st game of the season also!
If it makes you feel better though, my 2nd game, also on that same night, me and Detroit were close most of the game, but I managed to hit a 3 with Mo to be up 1 with 14 secs left. He came down, Lebron went to the hole, and the shot was rimming out but I got jump happy and grabbed the rebound called for a goaltend! He was up 1 with 1.5secs left! Time out, down the other end, ran Mo into the clear and jacked up the shot which went down for the win! And while it would have been great even as a 2pt shot (and actually better since Mo is 84 rated from Mid range and 74 from 3pt) it happened to be a 3 also. But didn't matter, was just trying to get open. So I sort of stole both my 1st 2 wins...
Haha not fussed Ben. Always have a good time playing you, regardless of win or lose. It's always a good challenge and at least you get a bit of variety playing you. I was still raging about the game I played against Portland ALFY yesterday, today.
I basically lost the game after you cut it to 4 and I didn't get a bucket or free throws. In my head I was thinking "man this is over" only 40 seconds left on the ticker and I can use 24 of them up. So I didn't run a play and got into my offense too late with a bad shot. At least it taught me to play hard till he buzzer is up haha
Yeah I was lucky with DeRozan to go up 7. The bucket I went up 7 with was DeRozan's putback off a Tony Parker layup miss on the break after I got a loose ball. Man the controls must have changed because in all my games so far I've been getting tip-slams and I swear I haven't been pressing anything to get them
