CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Used to watch a bit but not really paid attention to in the past few years. Watching the Cavs-Magic game just now mind you I'll get back to you on my adopted team. I'll make sure they're more successful than my NFL team anyway MisterC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 18,997 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Not really and having a hard time with NBA2k14 tooHaven't played an NBA game since the 90s on the Playstation. The AI wasn't so great back then and all you had to do was get good at sinking three-pointers from deep and you couldn't lose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 82,637 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I tried over summer to choose a team but I couldn't pick one.Don't really understand American sports that much. Really tried to get into the NFL too and chose the 49ers as my team a few years back, but I don't understand what I'm watching or the way their leagues and divisions work Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make sure they're more successful than my NFL team anyway I always find choosing a sports team at random problematic, but I figured that Oklahoma made the most sense since they're the newest team in the league. And also Durant is a god and Westbrook is a boss.As for the NFL, I follow the Bills so I feel your pain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many rules to confuse you as well so it is tough to get into but enjoyable when you get a decent grasp of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Can't even remember the last NBA game I had. I made me and my mates in it and had us all at a 99 rating so it was pish easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 18,997 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 So Oklahoma's center Kendrick Perkins is one of the worst players of all time. His team-mates are clearly fed up of this.Brutal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
25 Minutes To Go 28 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Too much football on at this time of the year, but with the bowl season nearly over, I will soon start watching some more hoops action. The short-sleeve jerseys are most strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,997 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I was going to post in here about Kevin Durant's 48 point game against the Timberwolves the other day but didn't think anyone was bothering with the thread It was the kind of performance that ought to make him MVP this year. 23 points in the fourth quarter after being behind for most of the game. Lebron is the better player but he's not carrying the Heat in the same way Durant is doing for Oklahoma. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Bulls getting rid of Deng makes sense financially - I read it saves them about $20m in Luxury Tax. Boozer and Noah may be on their way out too as they rebuild. I wish the Lakers made some moves soon. We handicapped ourselves with Bryant's new contract and it hasn't paid off. Another defeat earlier, now 14-20 - so poor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be remembered in the same light if Kevin Love hadn't fucked it for the 'Wolves though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
