Unlike last time, LMA and Lopez are both playing. Whole different ball game with them in there.

I really hope these guys come to play, game's on national TV.

And this is not a good team to run the three guard lineup. It would put Batum on Dragic, which is never a good matchup for Goran.

The molds of the trades/FA signing ideas to land Wes Matthews are to make us pretty much identical to the current Blazers, I noticed.

Bledsoe - Lillard - athletic slashers with good defense
Matthews - Matthews
Tucker - Batum - defensive forces who can shoot 3's
Kieff - Aldridge - Offensive mid-range threats who can rebound (err...kinda)
Len - RoLo - Rim Protectors with size to grab off rebounds/putbacks

Lillard is an atrocious defender. One of the worst defensive PG's in the league.

Yea Bledsoe and Lillard are in no way similar. Bledsoe's a way better defender while Lillard is a way better shooter.

CAUGHT!

Well, this is an interesting read:

Bledsoe was ranked 15th, Lillard 18th, so not too much difference. But I tend to agree to what you've said.

Iguodala has the greatest biceps in NBA history

The GOAT muscle pic hands down belongs to Joey Graham

I'm surprised it has gone on this long. We may need a,"Wow, that escalated quickly."

Who owns NBA 2K15 and is it worth buying?

Post #38 » by **Qwigglez** » Fri Feb 6, 2015 1:02 am

I got 2K14. Since we are already past halfway thru the season I recommend you just wait til 2K16 comes out. That's what I'm doing anyway.

IT will take part in the all star skills challenge.

"Trey Burke will defend his All-Star Skills Challenge crown against a talented group of guards that includes John Wall, Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler, Jeff Teague, Isaiah Thomas, Brandon Knight and Michael Carter-Williams."

The park is pretty fun. If you're on a next gen system the upgrade is worth it, they fixed a lot from 14. The only thing I haven't liked is myplayer got an overhaul and is a bit more story based.
