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

Dealing with injuries 8 games into my firs season with the Heat.

Mike Miller played game one, strained his bak...sat out over a week, comes back strains it again.

Dwayne Wade in a blowout win over the Jazz bruised his hip and is playing through it, but (this game is so amazing) has a noticeable limp. I set his minutes back to 20 a game to limit his chance of hurting himself further. Well my home game against the Celtics resulted in a 12 point loss (after a 1 point win opening night at Boston) with Lebron scoring 37 but Bosh really had a rough game( his first bad outing of the season)...and Wade limited by his bruised hip.

5-3 record.

What a huge difference when you have the big three vs the Big two. You get into an rhythm with your starting 5 and when you get a monkey wrench thrown in like these 2 injuries you have to adjust. Lebron almost pulled this game off as we cut the lead to 1 in the 4th (with just under 4 minutes left)...but we just could not contain Rondo (I normally have Wade all over him) and he was driving at will, hitting lay ups, dishing out to Allen and Pierce. Plus KG was drawing fouls as well as Allen and Pierce. The variety I am seeing through 8 games is nothing short of amazing.

LOVE THIS GAME.

1-1 with the Wiz.

Simmed the 1st game vs Memphis (already played them in a previous Wiz Franchise) and then beat Cleveland on the road. John Wall was too much for Mo Williams and we dominated them on the glass. Got New Jersey up next.

Sent my scout out to look at Harrison Barnes and he fell in love.

Suns chise update...
Current record 6-0 with a recent win over the Hawks in a overtime classic. Richardson once again took over with a game high 32 pts for the Suns. while the Hawks had Josh Smith tallying 12 pts 17 pts and Joe Johnson scoring 25 pts. Bibby had a chance to play hero and win it two times both in regulation and in overtime but clunked both shots.
Hill is currently day-to-day with back spasms. so i opted to put him in the reserve list first to mend his injury then i signed Ricky Davis as his replacement in the meantime because Earl Clark is just not cutting it for me.
Thinking about moving Turkoglu. any suggestions who should i get for him?

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

Started an Association with the Celtics last night. Didn't play a game yet because I got an earful from the wife, however my goal is to make the Celtics younger before the season begins. Pierce and Allen are on the trading block, I'm heavily leaning towards Danny Granger as I think he, Rondo and Garnett would be a deadly combo.

Also thought about moving Garnett (and more) for David Lee, which would give me a young core of Rondo, Granger and Lee who would be locked up long-term.

You could try to get an expiring contract + pick for him, dunno. J-Rich got an expiring one, if you get both, I'm sure you can bring Melo in the off-season. Nash and Hill could retire by the season end too, that's a lot of cap space to bring a new core (brooks/j.r smith/wilson chandler/oden or marc gasol + your 1st round pick(s), all these players added to young pieces like Dragic and Lopez and good player like Childress, will be great.

Oh, and the big contracts of Frye and Warrick, what you're going to do about them?

Good luck there, I'm also a Suns fan.

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

Bulls Association, All-Star/Sim 10 minute quarters.

I'm 4-2 so far. Rose, Boozer, and Deng are beasts. Rose is averaging a double-double on the season and Boozer is .3 rebounds away from also averaging a double-double.

Haven't made any moves yet, I like the roster as it is. Taj Gibson is averaging 11 points per off the bench. Brewer adds some lock down D coming off the bench as well.

LOVING this game so far

Lost two more games last night to the Nuggets and Lakers bringing my record to 4-4. Melo hit a game winning turnaround with .8 seconds left to beat me in that one and the Lakers ended up beating me by 26. Melo had 37 and Kobe had 45... They're NASTY in this game, especially Kobe...

Celtics 2k11 Association: 5-2

Durant is a BEAST!!! My last game against the Sprus, I dropped 61 with him by mistake, 21 of 28 FG, 6 of 7 from three. He's unstoppable coming off screens.

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

I'm running my Association with the Bulls. Record 6-1 so far. Got beat by the Pistons cause they killed us with 2nd chance points. Rose is averaging about 25ppg and 5 assists. Noah and Boozer are averaging over 10 boards a game.

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

8-2 with Memphis right now, but I just lost OJ Mayo and Zack Randolph both for 2-4 weeks. Luckily, I acquired Shannon Brown for Xavier Henry and a 1st round Cavs pick so I hope he steps up along with Gay.

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

I'm about to start my Nuggets association but i'm kind of conflicted on how I should handle the Melo situation. Realistically I don't expect him to be a Nugget for long but I refuse to let him walk at the end of the season.(Is it harder to re-sign players this year?) Decisions, decisions.
