[1-3 HOU year 1/All-Star/82gm/10min]

Haha! Just as i expected, Yao went down in my win over NO, 2-4 weeks severe ankle sprain. Using that guy just feels like cheating, i gave him a starter role and 30min/game but really play him less than 20 and give more min to Brad Miller and Thabeet a little. Still baffled by Martin's shot, it's so weird, even though i scored 28 i took over 40 shots. T-will put in 32 easy. No one else is much to brag about yet, i'm giving Martin and T-will the reigns to this sled.

SG Martin | Lee

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I've been starting a different association every couple days or so. Just can't pick a team to choose. I've played with the Blazers, 76ers, rebuilt my cavs, Bulls, Celtics etc. Just can't stick with a team long enough. I was thinking about using one of the bulls teams with Jordan and Pippen and see how they do against the stars of today.

I like to shoot the three, drive to the hole and pound it in the post. I like to play with a dominate post player, a athetic SF / SG that's close to a star, and a younger PG.

Just want to start a association and roll with it and sink my teeth into it.

Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!

Yao is a force on this game.

Yao is a force on this game.

Don't I know it, i've never heard anyone say they could stop him. I'm trying to keep him injured this season to keep it realistic, but i'll use him when he's healthy.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

After playing four seasons with my Clippers franchise, I got bored and decided to start up another one. This time I decided to rebuild the Raptors. So far I haven't made any moves this season but i'm definitely looking toward the draft and most importantly 2012 free agency. Demar DeRozan has been carrying my team so far this season and is averaging 19.3 PPG. The biggest surprise for me has been the play of Jose Calderon who is averaging 11.5 PPG and 10.1 APG. Bargnani on the other hand is a bit disappointing. Not really an inside presence at all but i'm lucky to have Amir Johnson and Ed Davis.

This offseason I'm looking at trading up in the draft to lose some cap space. I'll most likely let go of Reggie Evans or at least try to get something for him. Kleiza is also on the trading block. I'm targeting Jared Sullinger, Terrance Jones, Harrison Barnes and Derrick Williams at the moment to shore up my front court. Like I said before, 2012 is my goal. Toronto is a big market and it needs a star. I'm really looking at Dwight Howard at the moment. I'm ok with Calderon right now so CP3 isn't in my plans but having Howard at center with a developing Ed Davis/any of the rookies I said above, and DeRozan would be great. Does Dwight ever leave Orlando? I haven't seen it yet. But it would be nice.

Currently 9-3, playing some, simming some. I've beaten the teams I should (Minn, Cle, Was, etc.) but against the Miamis and Chicagos, i've been beaten bad. The second half of my season (29 game season) is filled with the upper echelon of the league so i'm most likely lottery bound.

Well it's a balancing act with him. I had him around 34 min a game, and he got hurt and missed 4 or 5 games. He got hurt in the 4th quarter of a back to back road game too. I plan on seriously cutting his minutes, maybe 24 he can handle.

The problem is he is like 24 points, 10 boards and 4 blocks in 30 minutes. He is also almost guaranteed to get the opposing big men in foul trouble.

Season 2 / Washington Wizards

Rolling right along in season2 w/ the Wizards.

Lost 97-95 to the Milwaukee Bucks at home. John Wall had a chance for a tie w/ 15 seconds left...I isolated him on Brandon Jennings, and Wall beat him to the hoop but missed the layup. There was no contact, game over.

I lost Nick Young in this one too. Already have 3 players OUT: Booker, Blatche, and Bibby. Lost Nick Young early in the 3rd qtr, he had 13 pts up to that point, and is my leading scorer avg'ing 28ppg entering this contest.

The loss drops the Wizards to 2-3, but they had the next 3 days off which allowed for guys to heal. Young, Blatche, and Booker are now DTD w/ playable injuries.

this what i done with mines and iam 2-0

i think i made the raptors alil better or good enough for the 8th seed.

pg-rafer alston ( free agent)
sg-wesley mattews
sf-nicolas batum
pf-bargnani
c-oden

6th-barbosa
7th-hill
8th-bayless
9th- sonny weems
10th-marquis daniels
11th-sean williams ( free agent)
12-sundiata gaines ( free agent)
13-reggie evans
14-james johnson
15--mike harris ( free agent)

i traded amir johnson, Demar DeRozan, Ed davis, and solomon alabi to the trailblazers for greg oden, wesley mattews, and nicolas batum.

my next trade was me trading away jose calderon, linas kleiza, julian wright to the kings for eugene jeter, donte greene, marquis and thier 2012 2nd round pick. ( cap room relief)

After all the trades i have around 34.34 for the 2011 offseason and have alot of players under contract so i can make a run at a good free agent or just wait for the 2012 free agent class.

So what do ya'll think ?

Oden is fairly effective off the bench for the bench for me, but don't run your offense through him.

Is Bargnani really as lights-out as he is on this game?

see this my trick. for my starting line up and role players i go to edit players and change all of thier roles to bench players ok. then i go to each player card and change thier role to starters to make them happy which boost the stats alil ok. After that i go back to edit player and change my bench people back to role players. when i do that then i add the jordens which make them alil better.

now for bargnani he my mini dirk cause his midrange is at a 86 when he really happy and with the jordens 91. he have moments when he dont make nothin but he can make midrange just as good as melo or dirk. he a liabillity on defense which is why i got hill and oden. he plays better at power forward because he dont have to do much as in be under the paint alot.

When i said he dont make nothin is because i had him at center but when i switched his postion to pf i saw an improvment because i can do more plays and he almost always open around the paint. i never shoot threes unless he wide open.

Oden is pretty good playing off of barg because he real good at gettin offensive rebounds and i put him on the good big men in the league as in amare ( held him to 14points and 8 boards). in two games he get 18 and 11 with 3blocks a game. this remind of what the lakers doin cause thats my favorite team

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

When you go with a classic team in association is the crowd always soo dead? I started an association with the 97 bulls and beat the Clippers by double digits and the crowd was like completely silent. Didn't make any noise or cheer or anything. I hope that it's not like this for good. The presentation was crappy without the crowd.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I just played against the guy and it was hell on earth. I thought Scottie Pippen came back.

Sorry I meant Ronnie Brewer not Corey. For some reason whenever I play against Ronnie Brewer in 2k10 when he was with the Jazz or in 2k11 when he was with the Bulls he always lit me up and scored 20+ points. However when I play with him on my team he sucks big time.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

so I have made my decision I will have a association w/ the Dallas Mavericks and I will do a draft w/ the Oklahoma City Thunder. Will do the draft tomorrow and play my 1st game w/ my draft tomorrow afternoon and my Mavericks game that night or the day after tomorrow. Have a good one
