Yes I got the game yestarday so far I'm pretty impressed. I like the Road to Glory mode alot and the other new features on the game. The gameplay damn good too I hope Madden is just as good as this if not better.

Here's another new H-Town hit with GT Mayne, Z-ro, and Dallas Blocker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbC18E9XE6c

I like what the Rockets did in the draft. Im half and half on the Marcus Morris I think he was a good pick at 14 but we already have a tweener Forward in Pat-Patt. Though I'm guessing he will spend more time at the 3 than 4 which would make alot more sense. I liked us getting Donatas Motiejunas aswell. He gives us a young 7 footer that can stretch the floor and has a pretty good post game. He needs to add strength obviously which is the case with most European players and get in the habit of having a better work ethic but other than that I honestly think he has the potential to be one of the best foreigners from this draft and could possibly be the next Bargnani or Dirk if he works on his game like I said. Chandler Parsons was another pretty good pick. He's not really a player that will blow you away with his skills because he does pretty much everything good but not great but he does have a good basketball IQ and nice all around game. He should be a nice addition to the team. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with what we got so I give the Rockets a grade of a B.

I think Kanter will be the best rookie out of the Europeans in this draft but I think Motiejunas and Vesely have the most potential out of them all. That is if Motiejuanas can improve his defense and work ethic and Vesely improves his shooting and overall offensive IQ.

I think this would be good on the Cavs part.I think Irving has the potential to be an elite PG but PG isn't really that big of a need for the Cavs at the #1 overall pick. And if they take Irving #1 there's a great chance they won't get Kanter at #4 who I'm sure their looking at for that pick. As for the t'wolves I don't understand why they would take Irving if Cleveland passes on him when they just got Rubio unless they plan on trading one of the 2. Anyway it goes when Khan is drafting its always interesting to watch.

Nicley said I always forget that the Nets even have Lopez

Dirk LeBron James D-Wade D-Rose Dwight Howard Durant Z-Bo J.E.T CP3 Tyson Chandler

What are some teams that you can see making a play for Howard for next season. Lakers-Howard has shown alot of interest in L.A. and the Lakers have one of the best available trade peices in Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. Their are to many scenario's of how this can play out but one thing is for sure is that either Gasol or Bynum will be dealt for Howard . Nets-The Nets have a nice trade peice in Deron Williams aswell. Although I assume the plan is to get Howard to New Jersey to play with Williams. IDK how this would play out but I'm sure Prokhorov has something planned. Rockets-Some may say I'm crazy and that I'm a homer but the Rockets actually have nice peices to get Howard. Not to mention that he spent some time in Houston last summer with Hakeem Olajuwon to improve his game. So he should be pretty familiar with the city and he can be a great replacement for Yao. Heat-This is another one I'm sure alot of you are saying is a crazy scenario but I have been hearing alot of NBA analyst saying that the Heat should trade Chris Bosh. If this were to become true I'm sure that the Heat would be looking to do a trade with Bosh and Howard . Bulls-I don't see Chicago honestly going after Howard but their a team with peices that could possibly make a run for him. There have already been talks of trading Boozer so they could do a trade of Boozer, Deng, and Noah for Howard, Turkoglu, and Q-Rich.

I kinda agree with this LeBron's like a mixture or Magic and Pippen than Jordan.

I'm in, btw I already made a mock draft.

When you stop at a stop sign and wait for it to turn green

I agree he reminds me of a mixture of Al Horford and Luis Scola.He has the motor and all around game of Horford and post game of Scola. If the Twolves were to pick him I think he would be a nice fit. He can take alot of pressure of off Love on the glass and take some of the scoring load. If Minnesota takes him they would have one of the best up and coming starting 5 in the league. Rubio, Johnson, Beasley, Love, and Kanter give them 3 years together they can possible be were OKC is today.

Check my boy Propain's new video out, he's one of the newer H-town rappers and is one of Vince Young's artist. This is pretty good song with a fire ass beat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WroVdWB3SWQ

Nah a first round pick and a prospect is about exactly what the Rockets can get for Scola. Of course it won't be a lottery pick or top 10 pick along with some young prospect like a DeMarcus Cousins but getting a pick in the mid teens or early 20s along with a player like Psycho T would be nice. And lets not forget Scola is a borderline allstar. He did average 18 and 8 this season.

From the highlights I've seen of him he looks pretty good and has some potential. He's pretty aggressive around the basket and a nice back to the basket type player and he's a good defender too. The only problem with him is that he's young and hasn't played in the states and that he needs too bulk up more. Other than that he can be a good prospect.

I agree with you on this but this is actually one of my earlier drafts that I made before the combine on another forum, which is why I have Singleton so low and Thompson so high. I will change a few of these spots for the players though.

1. CLE-Kyrie Irving (Cleveland obviously needs help everywhere. I really don't think they need a PG as bad as everyone makes it seems but its looking like Irving may be the #1 pick. He has great potential, doesn't really possess the elite speed or quickness as the new breed of NBA PG (e.g Rose, Wall, or Westbrook) but has good speed and quickness along with nice court vision and a solid shooter as well.) 2. MIN-Derrick Williams (I honestly think the T'Wolves will trade back but if they don't I see them taking Derrick Williams who many honestly think is the best player in the draft.) 3. UTA-Brandon Knight (The Jazz are a stacked team but I see them going after a PG. I don't think they see Devin Harris as their long term PG so I see Utah either picking Knight or Walker. I think it will be Knight though being that he's younger and fits Utah more than Walker.) 4. CLE-Enes Kanter (The Cavs have their PG of the future now they need a partner for him. I think SF is their biggest need but Williams is already taken and getting Vesely or Leonard would a little bit of a reach over Kanter anyway. And with that being said I say that they will take Enes Kanter who is the best big man in the draft with their 4th pick.) 5. TOR-Kemba Walker (I think the Raptors could use a Center but they need a to find a primary PG. Calderon is getting older and Bayless had a good season last year but he could be a great backup aswell. So in comes Kemba Walker the story of the year. He's a little undersized and may make some questionable plays at times but he has alot of heart and leadership along with the intangibles of a winner something the Raptors could really use.) 6. WAS-Jan Vesely (The Wizards could look at two options at the 6th pick they could get European sensation Jan Vesely or go after Kawhi Leonard. I'm going with Jan Vesely. IMO he's one of the most interesting players from overseas along with Biyombo. He can run the floor very well for a guy thats nearly 7 foot and throws down nice dunks when he has the chance. He's a extremly raw player offensivly though but if coached right he can be something great along with Wall, Crawford, Young, Blatche, and McGee.) 7. SAC-Kawhi Leonard (Too bad for Sacramento they missed out on the Kemba Walker sweepsteaks so what to do. Well the next best PG prospect is Jimmer Fredette and I highly doubt the Kings draft him this high. So I say they take the guy the Wizards past on Kawhi Leonard. He's not a PG but he's a good hustle player with a high motor and a very good defender. And I almost forgot he's a very good rebounder as well averged over 10 rebounds a game at San Diego State. Think of him as another Shawn Marion.) 8. DET-Bismack Biyombo (The Pistons are another stacked team at pretty much every position. So I'm going to focus on the PF position which seems to be the biggest need for this team. Villanueva was a big loss of money for the Pistons and Maxiell barely sees the floor and the Pistons could really use another defender since Big Ben isn't really quite Big Ben anymore. So you select Big Ben version 2 in Bismack Biyombo possibly the best defensive player in the draft. Biyombo doesn't have much offense and is the biggest Bust or Boom player in the draft but like I said since the Pistons are stacked they can afford to draft a guy like Biyombo since he will only be their for defensive needs anyway.) 9. CHA-Jonas Valanciunas (The Bobcats 2 biggest needs are at SF and C but since they have 2 picks and the draft is low with big men and loaded with SF they can go after a Center. Kwame Brown is obviously not the answer at center so you draft the best Center available in Jonas Valanciunas. He's very good in the low post for a guy his age and a pretty good defender aswell. He will obviously need work though being that he's only 19 and doesn't have much experiance in the U.S. but luckly for the Bobcats they have nothing but time.) 10. MIL-Alec Burks (The Bucks need another scorer on their team badly. Jennings is the top scorer but very inconsistant and a guy they thought would bring alot of scoring Corey Maggette didn't have such a great season last year and could possibly be on his way out of the door. So I say draft Alec Burks. The kid looks pretty impressive he has good athleticism along with good handles and court vision. He can be a good combo gaurd but his biggest need is that he needs to be more consistant with his shooting, but since he's been working out with Chauncey Billups I think he's on the right path to improving his jump shoot.) 11. GS-Tristain Thompson (I think the Warriors could draft 1 of the following 2 between Marcus Morris and Tristian Thompson. Earlier I had said Marcus Morris but since the combine I changed to Thompson. I think Morris has a better offensive game than Thompson but he's not as good defensivly as he is offensively and thats what the Warriors have been looking to improve. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think he had one of the highest verticals in the combine and he's a solid rebounder with a high motor. He will be nice defensively of the bench along with Udoh.) 12. UTA-Chris Singleton (Utah adresses the PG situation now they need to adress the SF situation. Kirilenko wont be with Utah much longer so I see them taking Chris Singleton. Singleton has nice size and can be considered a tweener since his 6'9". He's another one of the better defenders in this draft but needs to work on his offensive game a little more.) 13. PHO-Marcus Morris (I think the Suns draft the best player available who I think is Marcus Morris. Morris has a very good offensive game that will fit good with this Suns team. He's a very versatile foward who can play both SF and PF and is a pretty good shooter,) 14. HOU-Donatas Motiejunas (At this point I think the Rockets will take the best player availible which I believe will be Motiejunas. He's a 7 footer with shooting ability similar to Bargnani. It will be a good pick I believe since the Rockets have 2 first round picks and they can afford to draft a guy like this. If they pass on Motiejunas I see us taking Markieff Morris.) 15. IND-Jimmer Fredette 16. PHI-Markieff Morris 17. NY-Kenneth Faried 18. WAS-Darius Morris 19. CHA-Jordan Hamilton 20. MIN-Lucas Nogueria 21. POR-Jordan Williams 22. DEN-Trey Thompson 23. HOU-Tyler Honeycutt 24. OKC-Tobias Harris 25. BOS-Marshon Brooks 26. DAL-Davis Bertans 27. NJ-JaJuan Johnson 28. CHI-Klay Thompson 29. SA-Nikola Mirotic 30. CHI-Josh Selby I'll write comments for the rest of the players another time to explain why I feel these players will be selected where their at on my draft board. Also a few of these I may picks may be changed by me later on.

I haven't watched wrestling in a little minute now but I had to comment on this. RIP to the Macho Man one of my favorite wrestlers from the old WWF and WCW

Just wanted to post a couple of tributes I found on Youtube about this dude I went to school with who died a year ago in a car accident this month after prom. Feel free to comment if you don't will thats cool too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpw1gw2RG0M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGmlOCoiVc0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b7LZRxQ1vw

Funny you should say that I'm actually playing a season on NBA 2K11 with the Clips and I drafted Irving in the offseason.

I would prefer Dallas vs Chicago but I have a felling it will be Heat vs Mavs part 2.
