    Re: Official NBA 2K7 Playbook Thread...

    Now for the Blazers. Starters:

    PG - Dan Dickau
    SG - Brandon Roy
    SF - Darius Miles
    PF - Zach Randolph
    C - Jamaal Magloire

    I chose to start Dan Dickau over Jarrett Jack because Dickau is a far better shooter, and that's really needed to compliment the bigs who routinely posts up near the basket like these Blazers have. There is a disadvantage with controlling Dickau on the defensive end as opposed to Jack, though, so keep that in mind when checking opposing PGs him. As for the plays:

    High Post Clear PF (Motion 1 set)
    This play is designed to get Zach the ball in the high post area and go to work from there. Dickau passes the ball to Roy standing on the wing, then Roy relays it to Zach. Roy could also look for his own shot here instead of passing the ball if desired.

    Pick Roll Forwards (Motion 2 set)
    This is a Post play for Randolph but with some other options included. Refer to the Pistons section to get more info on this one.

    SF Take (Motion 1 set)
    This is an Isolation play for Miles. What good about it is that Miles doesn't get the ball too far away from the hoop so he doesn't have to take many dribbles to get all the way to the basket. At any rate, check the Sonics section for a description of this play.

    Give Back (Motion 5 set)
    This is a play involving Roy and Miles that has Roy slashing to the basket. Take a look at the Mavericks section for an explanation on this one.

    High Rub PG-PF (Triangle 6 set)
    This is a Screen/P&R play involving Dickau and Randolph. It's good to call on because of Dickau's shooting ability and also Randolph's ability to finish inside. Details on this play can be found inside the Pistons section.

    Post C-SG (Baseline 1 set)
    It's time to look out for the other starting big. This is a Post play involving mainly Magloire and Roy. Check out the Lakers section to read more about this play.

    PF Post (Motion 5 set)
    Here's another Post play to run for Randolph. The Magic section has more info on how this play is ran.

    C Double Screen (Triangle 3 set)
    This play is design to get Magloire a shot inside near the basket without him having to put in work on the low block to get position. Take a look inside the Nuggets section for a description of this play.

    Final: Bobcats

      Re: Official NBA 2K7 Playbook Thread...

      Okay, finally here's the end of the road. On to the Bobcats. Starters:

      PG - Raymond Felton
      SG - Gerald Wallace
      SF - Adam Morrison
      PF - Emeka Okafor
      C - Primoz Brezec

      I have to say that starting Brevin Knight at PG was tempting to me because he plays better defense than Felton, but I've decided to stick with Felton since he has slightly better offensive skills. Knight will get a lot of playing time, though. And I hate starting Gerald Wallace as SG because he can't shoot with consistency worth a lick despite his great athleticism. But consider the possible alternatives as probable starters. Bernard Robinson, Jumaine Jones and Matt Carroll? (puhleeze!) So with Adam Morrison already taking the SF spot, I have no choice but to start Wallace as 2-guard. Now for the plays:

      Inside Out SF-C (Baseline 1 set)
      This is a Post play for Brezec, who gets the ball from Morrison standing on the wing behind the arc. Now I know that Brezec isn't a strong post player, but he still needs touches down on the low block every now and then in order to keep the defending bigs honest and not ignore him. Take a look inside the Knicks section for a description of this play.

      Screen Screener SF (Box set)
      This is a play that can be ran for Morrison to get him the ball on the wing. Morrison can shoot on the catch after he comes off baseline screen set by Okafor. He gets the ball on the wing from Felton standing at the top of the key.

      Rub-read Option (Triangle 4 set)
      This is a versatile play that either Brezec or Okafor the ball in the post. Felton can break off the play early and make something happen on his own. Take a peek at the Spurs section for an explanation of this play.

      SG Dive (Triangle 1 set)
      This play is designed to get Wallace the ball as he makes his move to the center of the court. Felton has the ball at the top of the key and moves over to the wing behind the arc. It's a good idea to make sure the pass from Felton is timed well enough so that Wallace catches the ball on the move so to allow him to drive and finish.

      Pick Fade PG-SF (Baseline 1 set)
      This is a Pick & Pop play involving Felton and Morrison. Refer to the Grizzlies section to read more on how this play is executed.

      PG Elbow Iso (Baseline 1 set)
      This is an Isolation play for Felton. (This can also be ran for Knight.) First, Felton passes the ball off to Wallace standing a few feet away from him behind the arc. Next, Felton moves to the FT line area and Wallace gets him the ball back here. Now Felton has the option to shoot on the catch or get into triple threat stance and work his man one-on-one.

      Double Low (Baseline 1 set)
      This is a Post play with both bigs, Brezec and Okafor, standing on the blocks and Morrison handling the ball at the top of the key. Check the Cavaliers section for more details on this play.

      Power Play PF (Triangle 5 set)
      This is a Post play for Okafor. Now keep in mind that Okafor is not a force on the block who can consistently overwhelm guys, but he can get it done down there from time to time if opposing defenses are not honoring him like they should.

        Well, this concludes the series of starting rosters and plays listed for all 30 teams. As closing, allow me to take the time to say that I appreciate all the responses I've gotten in this thread and elsewhere for putting up my favorite plays and starting lineups for every team. Really, I had an enjoyable time doing them all since this gave me an opportunity to look over all team rosters and analyze plays in further detail than I had ever done before. I had wanted to do this long ago for past NBA 2K games, but I had no motivation to doing it and keeping up with it if I had decided to start on it in the first place. Anyway, spending some extra time doing this stuff allowed me to examine the rosters in more detail plus see little intricacies in every play that I may have not noticed before. It was a real good learning experience for me to say the least.

          Thanks a lot for all the work. Kruza. Your effort is greatly apperciated.

          I'd like to ask a question, why didn't you have PG reversal for Kings? I use it with my Kings and it works fine too with Bibby. Maybe its just a personal preferance. Just curious.

                "PG Reversal" is a good play to run for the Kings. I opted to put in some Post plays for SAR for a little more variety, and unfortunately this was one of the plays I left out of my favorite 8. But I switch to this play whenever Kenny Thomas is on the floor because I won't go to the post with him like I would do SAR.

                                Thanks Kruza, good stuff. Just wanna say nice job.

                                As for the Bobcats lineup Felton should start over Knight and Felton was robbed on his defensive rating in this game. He's actually a better on the ball defender than Knight and even CP3 who has an overly high defensive rating. He's just not as good on steals as the other two.

                                Also I've got Morrison starting at SG instead of Wallace but it doesn't matter. I just let Wallace guard whoever is the more deadly of the SG or SF.
