I'm now certain the game chooses who has the advantage and disadvantage before every game. Why? It's so obvious when Mike Bibby is missing three point shots that are WIDE OPEN left and right, and then on a fast break, the defender fell down and he was LEFT ALONE to make the layup and he missed it. Not once, not twice, but three times. A wide open layup missed three consecutive times with nearly one minute left in the game. It's bullshit. I'm playing on realistic sliders, but I don't think there's a slider that can fix how big of a ripoff the computer AI is.

I killed this team. They kept missing their shots, and I just outrebounded them. Don't know what to make of these sliders yet. It's been see-saw from what I've played.

Player of the Game: Joe Johnson

I think this game wasn't as close as the score implies. The Nets started getting a lot of steals at the end. (Harris had 7 steals in the game). Other than the turnovers that both teams always make, the sliders I'm using now are pretty good. PM me if you want to know which ones I'm using, and I'll just link you. Oh, and I have a three-game streak for Horford and his double-doubles. Oh, and I guess Vince Carter was injured, he didn't play. Ager started.

Player of the Game: Marvin Williams

I found some more realistic sliders online. I'm still finding the best/most realistic ones, but I think this is as close as it gets. I get outrebounded some times even when I have good position on some guys, but that's okay. Horford's streak is at 4 games now with double-doubles. Dunno why Jones didn't play.

Next Game @ Celtics (3-0)

Can't wait for this game. I always like facing undefeateds (especially if they're the Celtics) at their homecourt. Should be a challenge with these sliders...

I simmed the rest of the fourth quarter. I was getting so frustrated... it almost drove me to the point of insanity- I'm not exaggerating. These sliders are also see-saw, but worse than any of the other ones I've tried out. Joe Johnson, for some reason, can't even post up against Rondo and make a shot? Al Horford and Marvin Williams, for some reason, don't even dunk the ball when they're wide open? Not to mention the missed putbacks/layups. This game pisses me off. There's rarely a time where after I play this game, I feel satisfied about it. I'll probably end up putting this game down for a while. Maybe play some Madden 08. Yes, 2008. Or probably Front Office Football, whatever. Definitely not going to play this game for a while.

Next Game vs. Wizards (1-4)
