Real Deal

Miller isn't starting for Washington, is he? I'm just basing it on what I believe he should do, and also what he has done in the preseason so far, haha.

He'll win the starting spot over Conley (or at least I believe he will).

Oops. I don't know why I didn't change that. I meant to throw Odom in there, and grab a center and move him up. Stupid Drew, always screwing things up.

Hmm... How about the Kansas City Tornado. Starting Five C - Rasheed Wallace PF - Paul Millsap SF - Manu Ginobili SG - Ben Gordon PG - Jason Terry Bench C - Hasheem Thabeet PF - Lamar Odom SF - Mike Miller SG - JR Smith PG - Nate Robinson SG - Kirk Hinrich PF - Chris Andersen

Alright BFT, this is for you, dawg. I know how much you love MMA fighting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IIbkWeFZJA This is sick.

Nah, minutes never change. I just don't start. I'm like Odom, or something. 1) I don't start, but I play 35 minutes a game, and 2) I'm always playing my secondary position, even though I'm supposed to be a point guard Not to mention the Idaho Stampede suck. I have bigs that can't score a bucket if their lives depended on it. And Andre, I don't know what it mean, haha. Nobody else is having that problem (or at least not that I've read).

That was my first idea, but there are a couple already taking the name.

Speaking of glitches, is anyone else getting one where you're trailing the point guard and trying to rip the ball from behind (you know, leaning on him a bit) and then, suddenly, he does some wicked teleportation that brings him back to the top of the key?

I think I found a glitch in the My Player system. I've been having good games, playing 34-35 minutes per (obviously not actual game minutes, just according to rotation), but every game, I'm getting cut, then picked right back up by the Stampede. Every game. The Insider tells me that he's got bad news, that my poor play has led to me being cut by the Stampede, but the good news is that he phoned the Idaho Stampede of the D-League, and they would like for me to play for them this season... Getting annoying.

Correct.

Haha yeah, that'll happen.

Well, if you know what CBS is, it's their sports site. So many other options, though...so if you've never been there for anything other than what others have posted (links), then I'm sure it won't bother you, haha.

Not sure if I can do that, because it's an iframe. If you really want it blocked, I can help you block that particular iframe content, but you'll have to do some editing in your Windows files (don't worry, I won't ruin your computer, haha). Assuming you have XP, go to My Computer, your hard drive, then browse to: WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc See a file called "hosts" in there? Right click and open it with WordPad (or NotePad, whatever). Add these lines: 127.0.0.1 cbssports.com 127.0.0.1 www.cbssports.com Save it, close all browsers, then come back to OTR and see if it works. Only problem is, you won't be able to visit CBSSports anymore.

He's not playing that bad, really...just careless with the ball a bit, probably needs to look for his teammates a bit more. As far as how well the team can do this season, I need to get a look at the "regular season" Elton Brand before I make any predictions for the Sixers. I gotta see him in action for 35 minutes plus.

A lot of guys are looking pretty good in the preseason. I'm not really sure if the superstars are trying out there, while rookies are trying to prove themselves early. Having Rose, Deng, Hinrich, Salmons, Noah and Thomas...that's pretty good already, considering Rose could be one of the best point guards in the league this season. Behind the Cavs, Magic and Celtics? Yeah, that's understandable. I can't really say that the Bulls will be a 50-win team, though...and there are a couple of teams who have the potential to win 50, if they actually stay healthy or are well-coached (Wizards, Pistons are two of them, possibly the Heat depending on how well Beasley performs). Chicago is one superstar shooting guard (Wade) away from a dominating, contending team, though.

Sorry for the delay, guys. It's been a mess having to edit skin templates and make sure everything is secure on the forums. I think I'm almost to that comfortable level now. So, I've added the box scores, a list of useful basketball links (which I know we all use, haha), and a list of our current affiliates which, as far as they go, I'm not really sure which others we need to put up at the moment. If you see OTR affiliated with anyone else not on the list, please tell me in here. Aaron plans on providing us with the standings once again, but we're going to find an easier way to go about it. If not, he'll be working nightly again, and it's inconvenient, to say the least. If you have any other suggestions for the board itself, post them in here. The season is getting closer. We gotta make sure we're good to go before November.

It's a great thing for Beasley to start. He needs to be put in there with the big dogs now, and benefit by playing off of Wade. It'll help his development, not having such a big role, scoring-wise. If he comes off the bench, he'd be expected to lead them, and possibly average 17-20 points per game. In addition, even though Wade will be playing with both the starters and the second unit, Beasley would probably get at least a quarter of play in without Wade, and that's not a good thing.

Merged. I win the topic starter role, you win the forum its in. Truce?

Just got an A+ playing against the D-Fenders. I racked up 11 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, 62% from the field. ALMOST HAD THAT TRIPLE DOUBLE!

LMAO, I see this truck all the time. http://media.peopleofwalmart.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/211.jpg http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?p=4191

Haha, that reminds me, I put it on HOF difficulty and played against the Lakers, used the Bucks. Got destroyed. Feels a bit weird playing with Milwaukee, though. I'm just not used to the team, I guess. I had to feed Bogut quite a bit, and try to run Redd off of screens and hit open jumpers. Pretty hard.

Yeah, I've been trying icon passing. I just wish my teammates would finish now. They blow my assist. And nice tip on the double team. I had no idea it makes your grade better. Thanks. Kyle, I never bought the combine. I just use the game...I believe that's what you start out with, anyways.

Nope. My primary doctor keeps telling me I should, since I'm a diabetic, but there's no way. The last time I had a regular flu shot, it was seven years ago...and that's also the last time I ever had a bad case of the flu.
