Pretty much because I went through the whole pain of a possible relocation with my local footy side, who I support passionately (and didn't end up moving thanks to a couple of very savvy businessmen), so I know how it feels to have your team potentially taken away, and it sucks balls. Anyway...

I miss you too. When Seattle drafted Durant, I asked you how good he was, and you said "he'll be an MVP within five years". He's there within three*, and it is horrible to watch arguably the best young team, the best young GM and the best young coach in the league when they should be wearing...

Have had a few more goes but I'm trading it in this weekend. Absolute abortion of a game and very disappointing how downhill this series has gone.

I just had Dwight Howard shoot 17/17 against me in All-Star difficulty. You can set it to automatically double team a specific opponent but it's never quick enough. Then down the other end is one of my absolute pet hates, the way the AI can double team a moving player and get him suffocated...

Well whatever you adjust for the AI, adjust for the human user too. Problem is you need to tweak the sliders in a big way to get something even resembling a basketball game. It's a terrible product this year. Two of the big issues of 2K8 in AI blocking and AI offensive rebounding seem to have...

Sunny 16 and Songs for Silverman are my personal favourites. I'm from Adelaide too and while he has done much better stuff, that song is one of the coolest things ever.

Just wanted to say I think Ben is a genius. Any other fans?

He didn't take painkillers until days four and five.

I can't even fathom how could play at a professional level, let alone win with that kind of an injury. Reconstructions are a real bitch.

Torn ACL and a double stress fracture of the tibia. I think that answers the question posed in this thread. He isn't human.
