Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

Home opener with Utah, got handled by the Nuggets 117-97.

Deron shot 9/28, Boozer had 17 & 9 at the break but only finished with 23 & 12. AK47 had 16 & 5.

Melo torched me for 31, AI 21 & 12.

It was not a good start for us but this was my first game with the new team and only the 3rd overall in 2K9.

Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

I'll start by saying my 1st two games w/ the Suns have been awesome.

My first gm against the Spurs was a thriller. It was the Suns (me) controlling the gm in the 1st half, but the Spurs coming back in the 2nd and controlling for most of the game from that point on only to see me comeback, take the lead, but lose it in the dying seconds to force an O/T where San An thrashed me for the W. I had a chance to win, having the ball w/ 7.3 seconds left, and got it to Amare in the post but he couldn't connect which resulted in SAN ANT thrashing me in O/T

2nd game, home opener vs NO, was another great game.

I trailed them pretty much the whole game until the 4th Qtr came along, and I was able to take the lead back w/ 4 minutes to play.

Posey was killing me from outside, and led NO w/ 19 points. Amare had another 30 point effort for me, but it was all Nash in this one.

Stevie finished w/ 25 pts and 21 dimes. Like I said, I trailed NO most of the game. I would get to w/in being down by 1-2 points only to see them explode for 5-6 unanswered.

That all changed in the 4th QTR, where I locked down on D, and had a much better Qtr on the glass. Amare ended up w/ 15 boards, 7 of which came in the 4th Qtr.

Although I took the lead in this one late, it was still a see-saw battle. I thought I was about to have my 2nd O/T game in a row, because I was up by 3, only to see Peja drain one on me w/ 10 or so seconds left. I called a quick timeout to in-bound at my halfcourt, and instead of putting it Amare's hands late like I did the game before, I went to Stevie Nash...

I got the ball to him at the top of the key...called an ISO on Paul...and took Paul off the dribble to the left elbow for a fade-away jumper...GAMETIME!!!!!! Nash nailed it!!!

Giving PHO a 112-110 lead w/ 0.6 seconds left.

There would be no magical Derek Fisher inbounds play here, and the Suns held on to win their 1st game of the season w/ anthoer thriller...this one at home.

Bad night shooting for Deron. You should be OK w/ him on most night though. I've had 2 bad games w/ Nash at the line, and I finished 3-6 from the stripe w/ him; I didn't fair much better from 3 either shooting 0-4.

Both of my 1st two games I shot horrible from the FT line.

I had intially set the FT Diff slider above default (65), but have since brought it down to 50 since I shot 35% from there against NO and missed 14 FTs. Until I get it down at 50 I'm not going to bump it up.

Yea...I've heard that there have been some issues. One dude posted some pics of some crazy SIM stats where it appeared like Boozer's PPG and RPG were more like a teams avg's rather than his.

I just won my first game with the Raptors against the Sixers 88-79. It was really fun and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

I don't want this to turn into an impressions thread so I'll PM you, and for future reference ask that question in the impressions thread.
