Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Fellas, need some draft pick insight. I'm the Magic and managed to luck into the #1 pick (the Hornets are drafting 4th, thankfully), and right behind me is the Hawks drafting #2.

The best two players in the draft are Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Muhammad, clearly, but I'm not sure where to go. Whoever I don't pick is likely going to my division rivals, the Hawks, and they need a SG more than they need a C/PF.

I'm likely going to take Noel as seeing I'm the Magic and historically we take big men-Shaq, Dwight-and I really want one to actually stay with the Magic the majority of their careers.

But I got a feeling that Muhammad is gonna be a gamechanging Superstar while I'm certain Noel is gonna be a star, but uncertain if he can develop into a Superstar (though I think I can develop him into that).

So, fellow draft junkies ... should I draft Noel? Muhammad? Trade away the #1 pick for more picks (I need help being the Magic after all and the top part of this draft has some talent but I don't feel it's the prudent move), or should I trade the #1 pick for players (which I can't recall happening in modern NBA history ...)

Any thoughts are welcome.

Go with the big man. Take Noel. They are much more rare.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

OMG/.....All I need to say is Rajon Rondo....absolutely outrageous. Ive never played a game so dominated by a PG ever. We beat the Pistons to improve to 10-2 by a score of 84-70. Rajon Rondo did this....19pts 18ast 3reb 2stl.......WOW he was crazy...the Pistons had no answer. Millsap was also very good scoring 18pts 7reb. Fab Melo answered his best line last game with a better line this game with 10/3 with 2 ast and 2blks. Randy Foye struggled with hit shot only scoring 4pts on 2-11 shooting. Jared Sullinger is getting outplayed big time by Melo and my even be on the trade block if he cant get it together...When hes on the floor hes getting out rebounded and cant stop the offensive PFC/C. Weird cause hes getting more minutes/touches since Millsap trade just off the bench but looks like a completely different player. I just cant get over Rondo's dominance here...anyways here are some Stats:

Rondo - 19pts 18ast 3reb 2stl
Millsap - 18pts 7reb 1stl
Pierce - 12pts 2reb 1blk
Lee - 11pts 2reb 2ast 1stl
Melo - 10pts 3reb 2ast 2blk
Green - 8pts 3reb 2blk
Foye - 4pts 2reb 2ast (2-11)
Sullinger 2pts 1reb

Maggette - 17pts
Monroe - 11pts 9reb
Stuckey 11pts 3ast
Knight 8pts 8ast

- Next game is against Miami and I am very excited about this! Possible East Finals Preview Folks...COMING SOON!

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Nice man! I love Rondo's game. Stomp the Heat. They lost to the eventual NBA champs, the Nets, in season one of my association. They're weakness at PG and C is how to beat them. If you have one or both of those, you can beat them.

Rondo will have the ball all game and im gonna try and get Sully into this game at C w/ Melo too

Edited:
mmmm well that strategy failed...Miami has Raymond Felton and Jordan Hill which I forgot about hahahha

Hmm. Rondo is gonna have to go off again I think but it'll be tough with Felton. Hopefully Bradley can get going too.

I'd go with Shabazz as he is a scorer from day one you can build around. Noel is premier defensive player we know that already from watching videos of him as he is not just a shot blocker but a good all around defensive player. He'll give you that premier interior defender and from day one he will patrol the paint effectively. He has the potential to be a monster offensively but is he in the same league as Dwight or Shaq? Prob not, I'd say offensively he will be used as Davis was for Kentucky, getting the majority of his points off lobs or dunks. Will he unleash that post game that Davis did in the NCAA tournament? I don't think so.

Shabazz from watching videos is a physical slasher and scorer. If you have the defensive places already in place, then I'd take this guy as he is a top rate scorer who you prob won't find in other drafts unless you want to tank the 2013 draft and get Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker haha.

Had to move Bradley in the Millsap deal but got Foye back from Utah,...He needs to play well yes

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Mmmmm OK I beat the Heat 100-71 which is the biggest blowout Ive had to far...Im lost lol...every game has been close, 3 buzzer beaters and only winning 1 game by 10 and I come out and play my reserves the entire 4th because I was beating Miami so bad lol....I rly dont get it but I love the result lol. The bench got extra time in this but who do you think was the best player....of course vs. Miami it had to be Pierce who dropped 20 pts in 3 Quarters and added 3 stls. Foye/Green/Sullinger were all very key off the bench and even Rondo had another beast game in terms of assist putting up 6pts 16ast and 3stls (This Guy IS A FREAK PASSER) LOL. Pierce, and Thabo were beast in defending LBJ and held him to only 10 pts, and Lee was a beast defensively getting 3 steals and holding Wade to 8 pts. Here are some stats:

Pierce - 20pts 3stl
Foye - 13pts 3reb 2ast
Lee - 12pts 2reb 2ast 3stl
Green - 12pts 2reb 1stl
Millsap - 9pts 2reb 1stl
Sullinger - 9pts 3reb 2blk
Sefolosha - 9pts 2ast
Melo - 8pts 1blk
Rondo - 6pts 16ast 3stl
Mohammed - 2pts 4reb

Allen - 14pts
James - 10pts 5ast
J. Hill - 10pts 6reb
Wade - 8pts 3ast 2blk

- Next game is the last of the regular season vs. the Atlanta Hawks ! UPDATE SOON
NOTE: Team Chemistry is 100% and all my rotation players up 2 points overall...1st time Ive every accomplished this with Boston so im loving what Ive done w/ The Celtics.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Which makes me (Knicks) better:

TRADE ONE: LEE BACK TO NYC!

Knicks Receive: David Lee, Ekpe Udoh, 2013 2nd Rounder (MIL)
Warriors Receive: Amar'e Stoudemire, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, 2nd Rounder (NYK), 2nd Rndr. (NYK)
Bucks Receive: 1st Rounder (NYK), 2nd Rounder (GSW), Richard Jefferson

TRADE TWO:

Knicks Receive: Paul Millsap, Marvin Williams, Ekpe Udoh,
Jazz Receive: Amar'e Stoudemire, Mike Dunleavy, 2nd Round (NYK)
Bucks Receive: Gordon Hayward, Raja Bell, 1st Round (NYK), 2nd Round (UTA)

Not by raw talent, but how Lee/Millsap will blend with Melo and Chandler, and offer to my team.

Being the Magic I have neither a defensive anchor or an offensive presence. My team is just ... average. FA has some options-I'm looking at James Harden and Brandon Jennings, but the Thunder and Bucks may match those two so I can't count on them. If I could get a pretty decent PG to pair with Noel, I can do some serious damage (I like that old school Utah Jazz Stockton to Malone pick and roll) but FA this year is pretty light on PGs, the draft has nothing, and next year is up in the air.

Will Noel be Shaq or Dwight? Not at first. But he's only 19 in game so I think within 3-4 years I could get him to Dwight level at least. Shaq was a monster that will likely never be replicated but Dwight has the tools to be pretty good offensively if he can just stay out of foul trouble on defense.

Shabazz looks like a Superstar from day 1 and reminds me a lot of Tracy McGrady ... I loved TMac when he was on the Magic and I would love to get that scoring threat but I have Afflao sitting there already, he's a defensive lockdown/3 Point shooting type of guy and that's fine ... but I need one of my guards to create on offense and I would prefer that to be at PG rather than SG.

If I can trade Affalo for a decent PG or Center, I'll gladly draft Shabazz and build around him. But I don't think there's a big market out there for Affalo so the safer play is to draft Noel and it fits the Magic in a certain sense since they draft bigtime centers ... but they've been burned by them twice. Maybe the fanbase is so burned out on the idea they demand Shabazz instead?

So. Many. Decisions.

LOL.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Boston loses the final game of the season, but benched the starters in the last quarter and went with the reserves. The Celtics wanted no injuries and fresh bodies going into this 1 and done Playoffs. Rondo was the player of the game for Boston putting up 16pts 10ast 5reb 2stl in the loss. The Celtics finish the season 1st in the Eastern Conference with a 11-3 record, and Rajon Rondo won the NBA MVP, Jeff Green won the 6th Man, and Doc won the Coach of the Year award. My Rooks Sully and Melo made the 2nd Team Rookie's and I am very proud of that as well. Here are some stats from the Hawks Game:

Rondo - 16pts 10ast 5reb 2stl
Pierce - 15pts 3reb 1stl 1blk
Foye - 14pts
Millsap - 10pts 3reb 1blk

Williams - 18pts 4ast
Horford - 16pts 5reb
I.Johnson - 10pts 6reb
Harris - 10pts 6ast

NICE ... Rondo for MVP and Doc Wins Coach of the year again. Money.

Looking forward to seeing what you do against the Hawks.
