Haven't bought a basketball game for PS in years but apparently the NBA Live game from last year was one of the worst games ever made.

 

Probably.

Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

Their listed heights are actually extremely close. Demar 2.01 M Amir 2.06.

 

I might get Live this year, honestly. It all comes down to GM mode. 2K's is always very good, and looks amazing this year. But Live looks better imo and I've always liked the gameplay better. Just comes down to association/whatever.

 

The reason 2K is famous is the MyPlayer mode, which is amazing, I can't lie, love it. I've never played 2K online but I've heard the servers are really crappy, Live on the other hand was very fluent most of the time, even in 5 V 5 games.

2k is cheese. Every time you run into a player (happens a lot because the spacing is terrible) you lose the ball even if you're chris paul and have crazy handles in real life. Also, in online, everybody just spams 3s because it's so overpowered.

 

Good graphics, but gameplay is terrible.

So apparently JV is killing it at the World Cup and talk about tournament MVP is being thrown around if Lithuania keeps moving forward.

 

They're playing Turkey right now and he's ripping Omer Asik apart.

 

JV might turn into a fringe star this year.

And yet he will always be only second best "JV" in Toronto

He still needs to improve a lot. His defence could use some work but hes so young he has a lot of upside. I don't think he ever becomes a star but he can be a very good player on a contending team and make an All Star appearance or 2.

He played like an elite center down the stretch last year:

Casey just needs to give him 36+ minutes a game.

I agree that he may never be a star but I think an all star appearance or two is very light. Many big men don't even develop until mid 20s and he's already a legit starter. Could put together a 14-10-1 line on good efficiency at 21 years old.

 

I don't think many people understand how good that truly is.

 

He has holes to fill obviously. If he can improve on his passing out of the post/turning the ball over, that alone will make a world of difference.

More than just the minutes they need to give him the ball more often. If he gets deep post position he is so dangerous..

 

Once they establish him in the post he will see double teams and that opens up the floor for the rest of the team.

Open Gym Season 3 Preview:

 

Boner alert

 

 

That gives me the chills. You can't watch that and not be excited about the Raptors season. I really want to see the game when OKC comes to town but its a weeknight and I live 4 hours away.

Jonas with 15 and 7 agaisnt the US, on 5 shots, 11/13 from the line. No turn overs. Didn't catch the game but I have no idea what the US bigs are doing on defence, sending him to the line that many times with 5 shot attempts

Jv flinched big time. Looked like a complete pussy.

 

Lol.

 

He was tangled with the guy and had no idea that Cousins was freakingout. He had his back to him and all of a sudden a 270 lb behemoth is running at him with his fist cocked. I think flinching is only human

I honestly don't understand why more athletes don't do this. You have money to piss away, is there some sort of shame in it?

Agreed. Especially for black guys, where a body hair transplant is extremely viable. Good for LBJ, it looks damn good.

Nothing will ever be as bad as Carlos Boozer who seemingly spray painted his head one time:
