You know the drill fellas... Every year, we have one of these threads.. I'm sure you have had some epic battles thus far early in the videogame season... Post them here.
Here's my latest, also from the Little Things Thread:
I just finished a game where it literally came down to every possession in the 4th quarter. My Cavs vs the Wizards at Cleveland. It was the most insane game that I have ever played, and I enjoyed every second of it.
I squandered away a 11 pts halftime lead, late in the 3rd quarter, to go into the 4th down 6. Their lead got as big as 14 pts with around 7 minutes left to play. Crowd was dead silent. I couldn't hit anything. No calls were going my way.
Around the 6 minute mark, I attempted a drive to the rack, but was surrounded by 3 Blue Jerseys around Lebron, when I spotted Mo cutting to the rack behind me, use freestyle passing, only to see Lebron drop the ball between his legs to a cutting Mo, who hit the beautiful runner. Crowd instantly got into the game.
A few more stops, and a LOT of hustle plays... and I was right back in the game. Every shot that I would hit, they would match it. It was INSANE. Hibachi was fairly quiet all game, until the 4th quarter, when he decided that it was Gil-Zero time, and dude was just absolutely on fire. I'd throw something up, and hit a great shot, and he'd come back and quiet the crowd with one stroke of his wrist.
We went back and forth, until JJ Hickson was able to get a beautiful block off at the rim against Jamison... which set up a quick break for my Cavs. The Wiz defense was keyed in on Mo Will who had hit 3 of the last 4 buckets for the Cavs, and forgot about Lebron over on the right wing, spotting up for a 3. He did not care that he was 0-4 for the day... all he cared was he took the shot at the time. I launched a 3... the crowd was in a frenzy. As it hit nothing but nylon, the crowd erupted even louder, and James went crazy, waving his arms telling the crowd to get on their feet. It was my favorite moment in a videogame to date.
We went back and forth for the final few minutes... Gil kept the Wizards in the game, but in the end, there was too much Lebron, and too many clutch Free Throws by Mo to seal the deal in Cleveland. Stats below.

An amazing game. I wish I could go back and watch it on TV. It was THAT suspenseful. One sequence went like such:
Gil gets a free lane to the hoop, only to have JJ Hickson come weekside and block the ball off of Jamison, to where the ball is going out of bounds... Jamison dives to save the ball, underneath the basket, the ball is loose at around the FT line underneath the Wiz goal... Wiz player runs to grab it, but JJ is already diving on the ground, knocking it to Mo, who finds LBJ streaking up the sideline for the HUGE flush. (Wish I would have saved it, but I was too excited, haha)
A couple of videos to follow.
