    Williams will be looking to bounce back from poor performances in Cleveland's last two games and will face the tough task of containing the Clippers talented young shooting guard. Williams does have a size advantage, but we wouldn't be surprised if both players had a big night out on the court.

      I messed around with html to make the top performer etc wrap up that's on the right of the article.

      Basically just had some ideas and messed around with html long enough to figure out how to make it look like that haha. If you want some help implementing something similar for your franchise just let me know and I'll see what I can do!
      I'd love help! I'm sorta illiterate when it comes to html lol. Also, I really like your matchup preview box things....how did you do that?

        SEASON SERIES 1-0 CLE
        CLEVELAND, OH -- What better way to rebound from a tough loss than to win decisively in your next outing? That is exactly what the Cavaliers were able to accomplish with Friday night's showdown against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Cavaliers jumped out to an early lead, going into half-time up by 12, and would never relinquish it.

        The Cavaliers yet again got solid contributions from their bench players, although their depth took a huge blow early in the second quarter. After hitting his fourth consecutive shot, a three-pointer at the top of the key, sixth man Daniel Gibson lost his footing and fell to the floor. He would leave the game never to return and the initial diagnosis is that he could miss the next 2 weeks with back spasms. In other injury news, center Samuel Dalembert, who is nursing a strained hamstring, was surprisingly active and contributed 19 minutes on the court. To boost center depth however, Semih Erden was active in place of Kenny Adams for the second time this season.

        Rookie Quinn Redd put together a nice shooting performance, hitting half of his attempted shots. The Clippers top rookie, Dante Keller, had a tougher time on the court scoring only 6 points on 2-of-8 shooting.

        The Cavaliers have just one home game left, on Sunday against the struggling Orlando Magic, before they begin a daunting 7 game west coast road trip.

            Currently no uploading to 2ksports isn't working for me (tried uploading some over a week ago and they still haven't shown up). The games I'm posting now were played earlier in June but I just hadn't had time to create the recaps yet.

            If you still want to get these kind of pics, there's a work around but it's a bit tedious. I used it for I think my first game or two of this season when 2ksports had a several day delay on uploads. You can try saving a replay from the game, then going into the 2k reel maker (from the main screen, go into Features and dit'll be the 3rd option). If you enter screen shot mode there's a way that you can save the photo to your hard drive.

            However, on PS3 at least it seems like when you do that it does something weird to generated/created players' foreheads/eyebrows in the replay and always makes them look worried. Hopefully it's different on 360 though lol.

                __________________________________________________

                With the Suns currently in a rebuilding phase, they're evaluating their entire roster and seeking possible deals for most of their players, according to a source close to the team. Warrick has been one of the main names involved lately with the Nets being one of the teams said to be expressing interest. New Jersey views Warrick as a good versatile player off of the bench and he could fill in while Damion James recovers from a torn MCL. James is expected to return within a month, but Warrick would be a boost to depth regardless.

                Another Phoenix player potentially on the move is their young foreign point guard Dragic. It is rumored that the Suns are seeking draft picks mainly in return. One team tied to Dragic rumors has been the Portland Trail Blazers, who are currently thin at point guard with just Jeremy Lin and rookie Vlado Olic at the position currently.

                New Jersey's talented young center could possibly become a free agent next season. Despite the Nets attempts at rebuilding by signing Zach Randolph and Shannon Brown, Lopez is still skeptical about whether or not the Nets have what it takes to be true contenders, particularly in the top-heavy East. Lopez's agent issued a two-word statement regarding his client's likelihood to resign: "money talks."

                  The way I do it is just plug in a flash drive, find the photo, copy it to the flash drive and then put it on my computer that way, although I'm not sure if that process would be any different for the 360. There might also be a way to upload it directly to photobucket or imageshack from the system but I haven't explored that at all.

                      Hey hows it going? I'm enjoying following your franchise and I was wondering if you could possibly give me some useful and helpful tips on how you constructed those layouts as well. I've tried to do it myself and the problem that I have is that when I go to preview what I have posted the entire layout is now the width of the page instead of a small section. I just downloaded GIMP so maybe you can also give me a little walkthrough on how to use that as well. Great job on this franchise and I hope that mine can be just as informational as yours.

                        2012 PREVIEW: Point Guards



                        After the second week of each month, we'll take a look at the cream of the crop at each position in the 2012 draft class. First up for the month of November, we'll be evaluating the top point guards who are looking to enter the NBA next season where six in particular could possibly find themselves taken within the first 20 picks in the draft.

                        The best of the foreigners in this group is Russia's Davor Kursov

                        The "golden child" of the 2012 point guard class is Pittsburgh junior Austin Nealy. With the tremendous size and athletic ability that scouts fawn over, Nealy looks to be the complete package. His physical gifts are complemented by excellent intangibles, instinct and playmaking ability out on the court. If all that wasn't enough, he is one of the best shooters of any position in next year's draft and plays stout defense as well.

                        Unfortunately, there is one major blemish when it comes to the scouting report of Austin Nealy. He was slated to enter the NBA draft this past year but midway through his sophomore season he tore his MCL. He's seen limited action for Pittsburgh so far this season as they're working him back in slowly, but if he returns to his prior form by season's end he should be a lottery pick at worst.

                        A surprising three of the top six point guards are foreigners next year, with the best of the bunch being Davor Kursov out of Russia. The other two, China's Genwei Lee and Slovenia's Luka Golob, have holes in their games at the moment but scouts feel they have some of the most potential for growth of the class. Kursov is the complete package but could stand to cut down his turnovers by improving his court vision. Lee is a gifted passer but his shot is inconsistent so in order to be effective on offense he must be either passing or driving. With Golob, his offensive game excels overseas but there are questions as to how it will translate to the NBA. Furthermore, his defense is the worst of the top point guards to this point.

                        The remaining two American-born point guards worth mentioning are Wesley Jensen from Arizona State and Ole Miss's Joel Bass. Jensen is incredibly quick and seems to have a knack for what to do with the ball on offense. While he holds his own on defense at the college level, his 163-pound frame may struggle to contain stronger NBA point guards. Bass, currently playing his fourth year of NCAA ball, has shown a lot of growth since his freshman year. Although he's not a true general out on the court, his athleticism and offensive prowess should make him an asset for an NBA team, particularly if he becomes a value pick by sliding down on draft day.

                        It will be interesting to see how these players progress during the season and where they wind up landing on draft day next summer. Keep your eyes open for our shooting guard breakdown coming in December!

                        May need to bulk up to matchup with NBA point guards, but has a good skill set.

                        Rough around the edges but could be great pick for a team that can wait for him to develop.

                        Good offensive player, will need to improve defense to climb up the rankings.

                            Yeah I got your PM, I'll hit you back and also answer some of your other questions in this thread in the message either tonight or tomorrow. As for banner's, try requesting it in rondo's thread (embedded a link in his name in my previous post). Hopefully he'll see your request soon and knock out a banner for you.

I'm enjoying following your franchise and I was wondering if you could possibly give me some useful and helpful tips on how you constructed those layouts as well. I've tried to do it myself and the problem that I have is that when I go to preview what I have posted the entire layout is now the width of the page instead of a small section. I just downloaded GIMP so maybe you can also give me a little walkthrough on how to use that as well. Great job on this franchise and I hope that mine can be just as informational as yours.
                            Thanks for following! I replied to your PM and addressed some of these questions in it as well. I'll have to check your franchise out

                              The two most reliable scorers in this game two of the bigs. They'll likely won't be matched up against each other much but expect them to give whoever is guarding them a tough time. Hickson has gotten off to an inconsistent start so far this season, whereas Dwight has been dominant despite Orlando's struggles as a team without Hedo Turkoglu. Regardless, expect these two to have solid performances for their respective teams.

                                How many games are you doing in your season? I love this Association by the way bro, great read. I hope Redd can develop into a SuperStar for you! He just seems to lack the confidence right now, you gonna bump up his minutes?
