Especially when you can definitely see the potential of a player.


The one good thing about potential is it doesn't always work out.

Bismack kept sucking and I just got tired of the 1ppg/5rpg seasons. Henderson regressed too. Mullens hadn't improved that much either so I let him go.

Team still sucked ass though. Go figure.

If he had cut them with a chain saw, then yes, definitely a good sign

I've never had the potential not work out, do you develop them?

I get the high potential players and just develop the **** out of them and they turn out good, if only it was like that in real life

From what I noticed (same with 2K11 though not as adverse), losing + low chemistry + playing time killed a couple of people. I usually don't bother with the development mini-games but do use the training camp whenever I have points. Didn't make a huge difference for Bismack and AD made him expendable.

the development mini games are a bit of a pain but thats where you get a lot of your growth. Every month you improve there rating.

The worst part of moving into a new apartment is finding a new running route. I mapped one out earlier and ended up doing nothing but hills for 30 minutes

MY GOD!!

Obviously the chain saw was a metaphor for a trade and dreaming of Okafor was a UConn connection to BG. Fats is a prophet!

Now quick, eat a spicy curry before bed tonight and dream of something that involves Tyrus, a chain saw, the 2nd pick, the 4th pick and the 24th pick!!

i was playing for the bobcats and it was our season opener. (for some reason we were playing outside, halfcourt on a concrete playground, but whatever). so before the game starts, maggette announces he has an injury and wont be playing. then seconds before tip off okafor (yes, he was on the team for some reason) basically says "**** it" and claims he isnt going to play for this awful team and he storms off the court. i was the point guard in the game and i was so pissed at okafor and maggette. the team was really mad and ended up destroying the other team - we were playing to 7 by ones (haha) and we won the game 7-2. after the game we went back in the locker room and we all started yelling at okafor for being a pussy. the coach (who i assume was dunlap) was so mad, he cut both okafor and maggette on the spot.

good sign?


so last night i dreamt that mags gets cut and today he gets traded? hmmm.... do i have the shinning?

i will be dreaming for the hornets to pass on anthony davis tonight. we'll see how that goes. there might be a part in there for jordan's wife as well.

i didnt even think of the uconn connection between okafor and gordon. they played together and drafted in the same year. this just gets creepier and creepier.

Oh no!

Tyrus and Rudy Gay were in the same drat class.

I hope your freaky dreams don't make us trade the #2, Tyrus and Hendo to Memphis for Gay!

this is how Cho settles the last, small points of contention when trading with another organization. Cho is the robot.

someone probably turned them off on accident I'll bet. Or the filters on their "acceptable image sites" are broken maybe, or something else entirely.
