The Magic are the better team. Just need to play clean basketball.

Headfake from Paolo was something serious

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

I really don't mind 1st half rotations at all usually. Even last year when people were complaining.. teams were getting gassed late because of the amount of minutes they were playing while we finished strong in most games because of that freshness.

In a 2K world where you can turn off sliders, I agree, but IMO having units playing together is helpful especially early in the game. It's in the 2nd half when rotations need to be tighter and based on who is effective or not.

Great finish. Very nice.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.
