I could never get used to the shot stick. I use it on layups, dunks, and post moves, but as for spotting up and shooting, I just use the X button.

Dallas-The Sixers rolled into Dallas full of confidence after 2 straight wins looking to make it three,but the Mavericks had other ideas and absolutely destroyed the 76ers 134-78.The Sixers had no answers at all for the smokin hot Dallas offense as Dirk and Jason Terry showed the young Sixer team what its like to go up against an elite team.The Sixers will have to try and shake this loss off because they're right back to work tomorrow with a visit to New Orleans.Here's the stats from Dallas

Bristol,CT.-ESPN is reporting that the Portland Trail Blazers have traded Darius Miles to the Indiana Pacers for SF Mike Dunleavy.In other news the Phionix Suns have signed free agent PF PJ Brown to a 1 year 595 thousand dollar contract.And finally on the injury front,Atlanta Hawks guard Joe Johnson has a strained lower back and will be out for about 2 weeks

Still following and everything looks great except the fg% look pretty low on most of your games.

[orion523]

I'm actually lookin at that now,the cpu FG% is about 45% which is perfect.Mine is about 39% which is a little low but not outrageous.I have my mid range and 3 point slider set at 48,I'm going to bump them to 50 and see what happens over the next 10 games or so.

Washington DC-The 76ers had no answers today for Gilbert Arenas who torched the Philly boys for 32 points in a game which saw the Wizards in total control throughout enroute to an easy 104-82 victory.The lack of depth in the front court is really starting to show for Philadelphia with teams giving the Sixers reserves fits inside****mors are circulating that this issue may be addressed in the coming days with Kyle Korver the most obvious bait.Here's the stats
