Real Deal

Dude, I swear, the game does this on purpose: it has you really, really close to completing one of the Jordan challenges (in my case, the 63), and then you miss your last 2-3 shots at the end of the game. It's frustrating, lol.

Where do you think Brandon Tate will rank at the end of the season, among the list of receivers in the league? With Moss gone, will he struggle a little more, or shine with all the attention he'll get from Brady?

Right, but I think that the drug-testing cost won't come close to the tons of undeserving people's spendings. In fact, I don't just think that...I can say I know it for sure. My aunt was on welfare for a long time. If there was one massive bill showing how much she spent...well, that bill would indeed be massive.

I don't think it'll be an issue for the regular season, but I think the Heat fans do have to worry once Miami has to play a team like Boston 4-7 times in the playoffs. I think the tension will be much higher, Wade and Bron will jump the gun trying to take over games when they see each other struggle down the stretch, and it could cause some trouble. Don't forget, part of the self-destruction of the Kobe/Shaq dynasty was due to this exact thing. People can praise the Spurs all they want and talk about how great they were, but most Lakers fans will come in and admit that the two egos clashed often, in both the regular season and especially the playoffs, and it presented a problem after that third ring (and even during their dynasty run, to be honest, but it was never as severe as it was after the third championship).

Most Outstanding Player award. Basically, my reason dips into those who look at the MVPs and say, "He's the best player in the league." Incorrect. Steve Nash has never been the best player in the NBA, but by definition, he was arguably the most valuable to his team. Most valuable to his team, or most valuable to the league? It's shooting in the dark, really.

Jerebko is going to be out for the season. I don't know of any player who has come back from that so soon. White will be out 1-3 months. Like Sean says, it depends on the severity of the break.

Crazy. Which ones will be like, "The welfare program should be dropped altogether, and Medicaid/Medicare as well, and everyone needs to just get a job making $30/hour and deal with life!"

WOW. A Raptors fan would post this. Scared that the Heat will win the East this year?!?! You mad the Heat will possibly have a better record than the Raptors?

WHOA. Everyone please note what time it was when I posted this.

How much more scarier than Brady to Moss, though? Then again, Favre won't hesitate to throw the ball deep. Crazy thing is, he can pretty much just THROW the deep ball and see who catches it, out of Moss, Jennings and Driver. EDIT: I mean Harvin and Rice.

Alright, Jordan mode is crazy tough. The AI is much, MUCH smarter in this game, too. They improved the help defense significantly. Run P&R three consecutive times and see how a team like the Spurs treats that decision. The only thing I don't like, but I'll get used to, is the passing. Really difficult. Sometimes, it's like you're playing five Gary Paytons out there. Oh, and Jordan mode is crazy tough.

It's going to be completed tomorrow (well, today). Crazy, and unexpected.

It's not related to cancer at all. I think they DID fool you, actually.

Nah, he scanned it right in front of me, and it beeped (you know, the scan noise, lol). It just didn't log on the register, or something. I have a feeling that me scanning my credit card for a second time killed the sale, somehow. Not my place to know. I probably would've said something, but with how Wal-Mart ripped me off two years ago, [expletive] them.

lol @ Florida

Just got back from Wal-Mart, and I have an awesome story. I bought 2k11, two Twix bars and some printer ink. Paid $30. Basically, my card didn't scan correctly the first time (after he scanned the game), so I re-scanned my card, entered the pin, and waited. Once he swiped everything, it came out to be $30.02 and I just kind of stood there, looking at the dude's face and wondering if he was just really sleepy or high. Then I thought about how Wal-Mart ripped me off on my 2k9 game two years ago (they wouldn't take it back...I opened it and found it cracked), so I just looked over at Terry, grabbed the bag and said, "Thanks." 2k11 = free.

Not being able to contain your opposition is an issue. You can't run with five help defenders on the court. That would be like running an offense with five Richard Hamiltons, jogging around and waiting for a pass that isn't there.

The Heat are having trouble rotating on defense. Is there such thing as too many help defenders and not enough on-ball defenders?

Wade is hurt.

They are talking about their purse.

Stone Cold is going to return and destroy that Nexus group. Bet?

I honestly have never seen an NBA player with a better spin move (while dribbling or, in this case, in mid-air) than John Wall, and I've watched a LOT of NBA.
