    I'd have Weaver at C before Nowitzki personally.

    Weaver can be strong in the centre as well tbh. I would think as a high minutes player you could definitely put hi in your depth list for minutes at centre. Especially if you are gonna give Mike mainly minutes at 5 as well.

    Screw you mousey you loser :(

    Yeah you are probably right. Also would help Weaver keep fresh for offensive production because there are no good real offensive centers in the league outside of Asia's lot


    How many players can we use in a game, is it going to be 8?
     
  5. Mousey AJ Son

    Yeah, 8 players, 10 minute quarters too.
     
  6. Jabba HJ Bots

    Probably looking at

    Gareth Weaver
    James Torres
    Cap'n Cock
    Eliot Witters
    Raptor Vince
    Lucas Schaw
    Mike Nowitzki
    Esther Starris

    Thankfully I played in the front court for a few games this season
     
  7. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    There's a team called the New Orleans Pelicans?!? Wow.
     
  8. Gazza GJ Weaver

    As of next season iirc
     
  9. Number 11 CJ Downes

    I always thought it was the Hornets? :confused:
     
  10. El Nino J Torres

    will play for himself

    :laugh:
     
  11. Mousey AJ Son

    They changed their name to the Pelicans.
     
  12. Jabba HJ Bots

    It is the best thing to be, means you are a cocky bastard and just try and put the team on your back when you get given the ball. Not sure if it is true in the sim but when you only average 2 assists per game which is pretty terrible for someone as dominant as you are I just assumed so.
     
  13. Mousey AJ Son

    Yeah, he does play a little hero ball at times. Definite shot jacker too.
     
  14. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    I actually recognised one of the player pics you put up. Massive surprise to me as I thought that I know absolutely nothing about Basketball.
     
  15. El Nino J Torres

    Perfect.
     
  16. 99* JJ Ritchie

    I'll place myself in this space over here. Away from all you basketballers.

    :down:
     
  17. Mousey AJ Son

    Love the Torres/Rudy Gay comparison btw Botsy

    Looks like i'm going to have to fight to even make this squad.

    I hope next season i can start putting pressure on Morgan to get that starting spot.
    Good looking squad.
     
  19. Skippos SM Morgan

    I'm probably better at point than Iridium so you're probably putting pressure on Irids not me :3
     
  20. the_killerz S Bakkum

    Not sure i'm putting pressure on him. I'd like to think i'm improving but not enough to justify starting anytime soon.
