~~A CHANGE OF SCENERY~~ NBA 2K16

April 18,2015

-With the NBA Playoffs kicked into full swing a lonely city in the Eastern United States sat alone in darkness. The Philadelphia 76ers who had just finished the Season with a third worst record in the NBA with a pathetic 18-64 record. The Sixers even started the season with a 0-17 record adding insult to injury. The 76ers wre a mess after missing the playoffs for the third year in a row. The team was in a rebuilding phrase with new owners like Will Smith craving for an identity for the once great 6ers.
For the past few years in Philadelphia however, attendence has dropped during home games. In fact, rumors spread around the league and city that the 76ers would be moved in years to come. The product of NBA failed to put anything worth watching on the court in Philly. Mainly due to this was caused by bad coaching and worse, horrible draft picks. During the 2014-2015 NBA Season the 76ers failed to sell out one home game in Philly and the numbers dropped as the horrific season went on. At one point the attendence in Philly was a mere 30% full of capacity.
The Front Office knew changes had to be made with their failing product year after year. Truth be told the 76ers hadn't even been relevent since the days of Allen Iverson a decade ago. With numbers dropping and the team constantly failing to even produce a contender it was time for a change. A change of scenery....

- 76ers Front Office announces changes to be made to the 76ers. The team would be relocated effected immediatly.

The New Orleans Pelicans who were just swept out of the playoffs by the eventual NBA Champions Golden State Warriors were headed in the right direction but a change was in the mix. The Hornets who left back to Charlotte left New Orleans without a team until Pelicans were born. The problem is the Front Office wanted a change to make the team in the Swamp appear threatening and a contender. The 2015 Pelicans would be dropped in favor of re adopting the Bobcats names and colors from Charlotte to reform the New Orleans Bobcats.

With the recent construction of the new T Mobile Arena on the strip in Downtown Vegas, the Gamblers now have a new home.

Pistons CRUSH Hawks on Opening Night!

October 27,2015




Atlanta,GA- It's hard to tell that the Team Atlanta put out on the floor tonight was the same team that were making a run in the Eastern Conference last year. The Pistons crushed the Hawks 100-44 tonight led by newcomer Stanley Johnson who had 32 points. The Hawks looked nothing more than a pee wee Basketball team and at even shot like one. The Hawks looked out of place tonight only mustering 16 points in the first 2 Quarters of play.

"I really don't have anything to say. It's embarassing. We played like we never played the game before. I have no words to say i'm just in disbelief." Hawks Head Coach

"It's pathetic. We have talented guys in here and yet we can't play like it. Pathetic. That's the word I choose to describe it." Hawks Star Point Guard Lenny Anthony stated.

The Pistons who finished 32-50 last year are clearly out to prove that they can make a run in the Eastern Conference.

"We know where we finished last year. This is a new season and we plan to be better than last year. We want to show everyone we can handle the Eastern Conference." Pistons Head Coach

If the Pistons keep rallying behind new superstar Stanley Johnson it's safe to say that the Pistons can make a run for the playoffs this year.
