What else can I say. Cleveland Looked like a frieght train and Minnesota looked like a girl tied to the railroad tracks. Cleveland shot .540 and 17/34 from three point range to put a butt whooping on one of the leagues newest teams, as the Lightning rolled to a 116-75 victory.

"We really executed out there tonight, everything went well" Said PF Sean Williams who recorded a 20 pt, 7 reb, 5 ast statline. Minnesota struggled to find offensive rhyme throughout the game, scoring just 29 first half points. The team as whole shot just .280 from the field, and shot a paltry 4/24 from deep range. Matt Barnes , Minnesotas marqee player scored just 12 points, 10 of which came in the first half, he shot 5/27. Sadly he was his teams leading scorer.

Both teams shot horrible from the line, Minnesota converting 15 of 29 and Cleveland just 11 of 21. Daniel Gibson who was injured but playable, left the game in the third with a hand injury, how serious is yet to be seen. This is pivitol considering Cleveland is already without Eric Snow for 5 weeks due to a broken finger.

Cleveland dominating Minnesota wasn't a huge surprise, but Memphis' huge fail against Phoenix wasn't expected. The defending champs started the season out with a bang, blowing out Memphis 117-79. Memphis really didn't play a bad game they shot a semi-good .390 from the field, turned the ball over a little more than they should have, and struggled from the three point line, but it wasn't a horrible game. It was Phoenix's strong offensive play and good rebounding that won this one.

Phoenix shot .510 from the field, missed just one of their 13 free throws, and hit 13 of 28 threes. They also won the rebound battle 48-33. Alando Tucker took right back to defending his MVP status by scoring 30 points, and adding 8 boards. Robert Horry added 17 points and 11 rebounds, and in all six phoenix players scored in double digits. Demarr Johnson and rookie Jason Smith both scored 14 points off the bench. Kurt Thomas picked right back up as one of the leagues best rebounders grabbing 13, 3 offensive. On the other side, Anthony Frey looked good in his rookie debut scoring 19 points in 31 minutes before leaving with an injury. Milicic and Redick each added 13 points from the bench.

are u gonna play every game, or just like games of the week?

[Hip-hopSocialist]

Well thanks to Lives handy features, I simulate the first half of every game, and play the second half. Unless its a game late in the season that really has no effect I will play every game. Usually in the Playoffs I will play 3-4 quarters. I play as whoever has possession when i enter the game. Updates tonight possibly, ive been hella busy.

[Hip-hopSocialist]

Sorry guys, gettin bent over by school lately, updates tomorow for sure though.
