phatman

I'm not a fan of paying him as much money as they did however I can understand why they did it... Hopefully his shot develops more and if it does, then the deal will work out ok... I still can't see players wanting to go play in Minnesota though... It's always going to be about them developing players and hoping they can keep ahold of them...

In other news, Phoenix baby 2-0! Good come from behind victory at home over San Antonio... Isaiah Thomas is really turning out to be bargain so far... Two huge games off the bench and definitely should be in the discussion for 6th man of the year throughout the season... I'm hoping they can keep up this level of play for the remainder of the season however I think we need to make a trade and get some depth downlow...

Played well until Westbrook & Ibaka went off and Brooks relied on the bench too much Nobody could stop Aldridge either, dude was hitting shots from everywhere, contested or not...

I know I'm giving my predictions late but here they are anyway...

East

1. Cleveland Cavaliers

2. Chicago Bulls

3. Washington Wizards

4. New York Knicks

5. Toronto Raptors

6. Charlotte Hornets

7. Atlanta Hawks

8. Brooklyn Nets

Anywhere from 4 to like 12 in the East I believe can be shaken up and mixed around... I have Detroit & Miami (I think they will be too prone to injury) missing the playoffs and the Nets surprising some by making the playoffs...

I'll take Cleveland over Washington in East Finals 4-1 too...

West

1. San Antonio Spurs

2. Los Angeles Clippers

3. Golden State Warriors

4. OKC Thunder

5. Dallas Mavericks

6. Portland Trailblazers

7. Houston Rockets

8. Phoenix Suns

Clippers over Spurs in West Finals after they finally put it all together for a run in the post season...

Cavs over Clippers in NBA Finals...

MVP: LeBron

Rookie: Jabari Parker

Most Improved: Too Hard to Pick lol Andrew Bogut?

Sixth Man: Isaiah Thomas

Defensive: Anthony Davis

Coach of the Year: Steve Kerr

Yeah the brow was awesome today... Omer Asik was great for me too... 14pts, 17rbs & 5blks... Beasts!

Let's not forget though that it was against Orlando

In some news which shouldn't really surprise anyone, Steve Nash is expected to be ruled out for the entire 2014/15 season today due to ongoing nerve pressure and stress on his back...

Been a Phoenix fan, I was a fan of what Nash did for the club and the trade which sent him to LA was a great move for Phoenix and probably should have even been done half a season earlier... This should be it for Nash, I can't and don't expect to see him back now and I believe he should just announce his retirement and get it over with...

That's the results from the auction draft for anyone that wanted to know but isn't a part of it... Total of $200 to start with and that's what we all ended up with

Was just checking emails and saw this there so thought I'd post it so people had an idea/or anyone interested in how it went...

Not really a fan of the anime theme but you seem to be struggling to get players, so I'll join and try help out...

I thought from the way it went down, that it was someone Sara knew that killed her, which was why she asked they were doing there or something along those lines... Which is why I'd gone with the theory that it was a way to possibly introduce Ra's Al Ghul off camera to start with... Maybe trying to frame one of the archers (Oliver or Malcom in the process) ... Just what I thought when I watched it but I could be completely off base there...

All good, I'm signed up and ready to go

I'm doing a DC mafia in a couple of games time? You could be a super hero for me?

After winning with my $50 on the Colts yesty, I threw another $50 on Stanford to cover at -16.5 ...

Wow thought they were just going to run out the clock and then they ran in another TD! 34-17! One happy phat!

Yeah I'm going to lose my bet when the Colts inevitably choke this one away

Damn I leave the room and come back 10 mins later and Houston is pulling this back :/

Ah fair enough, just figured with it only been one game, they'd use it like Monday night football but doesn't seem like it...

Houston are horrible, I'm struggling to imagine how they've won any games to this point... Surely they can find a better QB than Fitzpatrick...

So far I'm glad I threw $50 on Indy covering -2.5 ... Houston besides Watt just look horrible...

Don't get to watch too many Thursday night games (Friday here in Australia) due to work and I really don't get the appeal of either team here... Thursday night games not marquee games?

Oh and it still annoys me how even though you get drafted in somebody else's place in the 2014 draft, that player whose place you took is still on the roster...

I think it should simulate the first season with the current rookies and then throw you in the 2015 draft... Might be hard for them to do I don't know but kind of annoying when you get drafted as a PG and the guy they chose IRL was also a PG and now you are stuck behind him too lol

Yeah I picked it up on PS3 today... Anyone else have MyTeam issues? Just keeps telling me it's down for Maitenance, or is it only a PS3 thing?

I started an offline career and it just seems like the same MyCareer mode for PS3, no upgrades or anything... Wasn't expecting much but it's really no different from last years...

Hope it at least had some upgrades for the new gen players...

Nicolas Cage and his newest hair piece?

Got a message yesterday saying I could pick up my game as I pre-ordered it (Australia), didnt get off work in time to get it though gonna try my luck again today...

Anybody heard what I miss out on with the PS3 version? Obviously I don't everything the new gen consoles get but is it a huge difference?

I think Encino Man is awesome lol

I've come to realise that I dislike most movies with Jim Carrey or Ben Stiller in them... Both just usually annoy me...

I just can't help but feel this new deal is going to lead us to another lockout though...

If it does, hopefully it is resolved quickly and doesn't drag on like the last one...

Owners ARE going to have to make concessions here because of the deal, I hope they realise this and get a new CBA sorted ASAP this time...

Well they're estimating that the soft cap could potentially go from $62 mill to $88 mill... Definitely seems like there'd be enough room to sign another all-star calibre player...

I'd like to register... DC Universe Mafia - 20/21 Players

I sent thuganomics a PM as he ran a couple of DC games before but seeing as though he hasn't been on since May, I wasn't holding my breath on a reply...

Yeah I'll join here as well if there is still room pretty sure I became a member on espn for the last one we did too

Duke continues to win and it's making me happy, since I've followed college football they've never been all that good but this past season and so far this season have made me a happy man...

The other team I go for, Cal, blew a huge lead and gave up 36 pts in the 4th today including a Hail Mary on the final play to lose 49-45 to Arizona today I was getting excited that both the teams I follow we're going to have good seasons but this loss reminded me how bad Cal sucks these days lol
