NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

[Batistaj15]

First half in my Association with the Nets, I went 29-28. So far in the Second half I'm 1-2 which makes my record 30-30 (T-7 in Eastern Conference). Although I'm 1-2 in the second half my team is looking good lost a close to Dallas and beat the Spurs on the road. My second loss came because I simmed 1 of my back to back home games vs the Magics (BORING!). Turkoglu is getting starting to fit in the team more and is improving his play. I hope to make a nice strong run the second half and land the 6th spot in the conference to hopefully play the Celtics which im 2-0 against and feel confident I can knock them out in an upset in the playoffs!

I'm going to be starting up an association when the lockout ends in a week or so. I'm going to be the Cavs, Trail Blazers, or the Knicks. I'm not sure yet... I was considering the Bobcats then I decided no. Will make my decision by lockout end...

Had a bad day yesterday, had a friggin awesome day today... huh... .-.

WEEK 2 and 3 UPDATE

GAME 4
Short-handed and against the Miami Heat, I was expecting a blow out, but the game ended 98-97, being tied at the half, and Miami winning by just one point.

Lebron James contributed for the Heat with 31 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. The other two of the big three also produced, with Wade also scoring 31, and Bosh having a double double. Udonis Haslem was surprisingly quiet on the offensive end, with just 2 points on 1-2 attempts, but he snagged 9 rebounds.

Paul Millsap led the Jazz with 19 points and 8 rebounds, and filling up the stat sheet with everything else. Jared Dudley had a solid game, almost scoring a double double. and Zabian Dowdell had a great back-up PG game. He scored 12 points in 9 minutes on 3-6 and was 3-4 from three point range. Derrick Favors was quiet with just 2 points and 4 rebounds as well.

BAD NEWS
Antoine Wright sprained his wrist, and will be hurt for several weeks, Ime Udoka will be taking his position in the line-up.

OTHER NEWS
Sherron Collins was signed to a small contract while George Hill is out and Devin Harris is receiving limited minutes from his injury, but he didn't really get many minutes this game.

GAME 5
Against the Magic, the injury-plagued Jazz pulled out a 88-86 win with an amazing 3rd quarter. both teams were very effective this game. Many players also shined in this game.

Paul Millsap led the way for the Jazz, with 3 blocks, 21 points, and 11 rebounds. Al Jefferson also produced, with 15 points and just 2 rebounds short of a double-double. Gallinari, in his limited minutes, also added another 10 points. Deshawn Stevenson, who seems to not just be able to get into the Jazz way of playing, went 0-4 and had zero points, and if he continues to play like this, he will continue to be demoted, once being the 7th man, he is now the 9th, and he could always be trade bait.

Dwight Howard had a very impressive game, with 22 points and 16 rebounds. Gilbert Arenas looked like has younger self, with 22 points and 6 assists. and Brandon Bass was 1 rebound away from a double-double. Quentin Richardson did very little in this game, scoring 2 points, and having 3 rebounds.

GAME 6

The Hawks were next to play against the Jazz, and it was not a pretty game. A 38-12 first quarter basically screwed the Jazz over from the get-go, and they lost 98-82 in a game where they were just outmatched.

Joe Johnson had 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, and Josh Smith produced with 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 steals and as well as blocks, showing why he is a defensive monster. Marvin Williams also had a great game, with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Zaza Pachulia did not do much in this game, and it just showed that the Hawks need a lot more depth at the 5.

Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap both contributed with double-doubles for the Jazz, and Stephen Jackson had 15 points and 4 steals to boot, but to win a basketball game, you usually need more than a few people working, and tonight nothing was clicking.

GOOD NEWS
While only being able to play very limited minutes, George Hill came back ready to play for the Jazz today, Zabian Dowdell has been an impressive emergency point guard.

OTHER NEWS
Sherron Collins was sent to the D-League, but the debate on whether to waive him at the end of the year, earlier than that, or to just try and develop him has been occuring, but it is too soon to tell.

GAME 7
The Jazz are 3-3 and they went up against the Bobcats, if there was ever a game they should win, it was this one. Stephen Jackson showed the Bobcats his true skill in this game, and did not disappear in the face of his old team.

Jackson had 28 points and filled the stat sheet, Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap also filled the stat sheet, and between all three of them, they had a combined 56 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks. Deshawn Stevenson for the umpteenth time, had a horrible game, getting only 1 point and 1 steal out of 0-4

Tyrus Thomas contributed with 20 points for the Bobcats out of
7-11 shooting, and Gerald Henderson added another 17 points. Boris Diaw also added 10 points and 3 blocks. Dominic Mcguire only took 2 shots this game, and made only one of them, and was just unproductive this whole game.

GAME 8
The Jazz played the other Big Three, with Anthony, Stoudamire, and Billups. they did manage to pull off the W with a third quarter surge leading to a 108-104 victory. Stephen Jackson had a quiet game, but in his absence, a player had the chance to shine.

Paul Millsap had a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Danilo Gallinari also had an impressive game, with 7-8 shooting and 15 points. Deshawn Stevenson, yes, DESHAWN STEVENSON, had a good game with 13 points with 3-5 attempts. Jared Dudley, usually consistent for the Jazz, only took 1 shot attempt, and missed. He had 6 rebounds but just did not show up for the game.

Carmelo Anthony dominated this game, with 21 points and a
mind-boggling 17 rebounds, it's a surprise how the Jazz won. Chauncey Billups added another 23 points, and Andy Rautins had 12 points of 4-5 shots, 3-4 being taken from 3 point range. Roger Mason did not contribute at all in his 20 minutes of game-time, having no shot attempts, and his statsheet only had 1 rebound on it, that was it.

FUNNY NOTE
I was annihilating the Bobcats by 20, and Deshawn was actually being productive, and a glitch then occurred, and a tip in was said to be out of bounds, and then the ball disappeared .-. You could see the shadow but the ball was invisible, half-time didn't help fix the problem, and neither did time-outs or fouls, worrying it might mess up the mode, I just quit the game and just simmed all of Week 2 -____-'

Before I update Week 3, I have a question, I don't want to add pictures or anything, but is that a guideline for a Dynasty Topic? Asking since I always feel horrible adding such massive posts to the Association topic if I could do a dynasty topic ._.

[tril]

fantasy draft -Atlanta Hawks-29 game season.

currently 4-14. 6 games out of the 8th spot. funny thing is the announcers saying that I should blow up my team, cause this season has been a disappointment. I have a good squad on paper, but that's it .

pg-collison
sg Ray Allen
sf-Kevin Durant
pf-Serge Ibaka- out for the season
c-Dalembert

bench
-Bibby
-Rush
-Udoka
-Wilcox- starting in place of Ibaka
-Dampier

-Stokavic.

Im 8 million under the cap. with half the squad aboutto be free agents at the end of the season.
I only resigned RAy Allen for 3 extra years.

free agents at the end of the year are- Collison, Rush, Dalembert, Dampier, Wilcox, Udoka, Stokavic

Im eying Dwight Howard, and Derek Rose in the off season. ill fill out the roster with rookies and 3rd/4th tier level players.

my potential line up will be

-Derek Rose
-Ray Allen
-Kevin Durant
-Serge Ibaka
-Dwight Howard.

if thats the case then look out.
I keep extensive records and I haven't won a championship in 2k NBA basket ball since NBA 2k03. in the virtual realm thats 20 seasons.

I wish that I was as optimistic as you. I started an Online Association because I don't forsee any end to the lockout for a couple of months.

Well.. the owners have lost millions of dollars from the preseason, so I think they won't want to lose more money to keep the lockout going to get the deal they want. If they cancel the regular season(which is highly unlikely) they will lose billions maybe trillions of dollars. So I think they will just accept a deal soon. I prob. will start my season when I make my decision because I don't want to wait forever if the lockout keeps going. I've cut it down to 2 teams the Knicks and the trail Blazers

........ no.....

I think It'll end in a month, I still can't tell which side will fold though :/

WEEK 3 UPDATE
Still not sure if I should do giant posts like this on this topic, or if anyone even wants to read giant posts like this, but oh well.

GAME 8
I accidentally posted last time, though it was part of week 3 >___>

GAME 9
Jazz against the up and coming Clippers, though Clippers led the whole game, a 4 quarter charge by the Jazz leading them to a 101-98 win. Jazz also are on a 3 game win streak.

Paul Millsap had 24 points and 13 rebounds for the game, Devin Harris and Stephen Jackson also produced, each almost getting a double-double of points and assists. Derrick Favors had no points this game, and really didn't look like he was in it at all with no shot attempts and 2 turnovers.

Eric Gordon produced 33 points for his team, but this one-sided performance wasn't enough. Blake Griffin and Al-Farouq Aminu scored 11 and 10 points, respectively. Jamario Moon didn't produce whatsoever for the Clippers, it really was just one player producing for the Clippers this game.

BAD NEWS
Danilo Gallinari strained his achilles, and will be gone for a week or two.

GOOD NEWS
Antoine Wright is back in the line-up and has healed from his sprained wrist.

GAME 10
Several season records were set in this game to be sure, I really don't want to go into it more than that, and the stats for the game were just disheartening. Jazz fouled 33 times and Devin Harris, Stephen Jackson, and Al Jefferson all got very little time on the court, and in the end, Harris, Jackson, Jefferson, and Dudley fouled out. Millsap also had 4 fouls for the night. Just a disheartening loss after a three game win streak.

Paul Millsap led the team with 30, Jared Dudley had 26, and Antoine Wright had 9 while stepping up for Stephen Jackson. Other than that, basically no one produced.

The Thunder steamrolled with MVP worthy performances from Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Serge Ibaka, but that's as much as I wanna go into the stats of this abysmal 25 point loss.

Jazz are so far 6-4

[Boomboomwoot]

I enjoy your post man. I'm a big offline association player.. I'm still running with the t-wolves right now. 7-1 right now in the season
