Brilliant

How about adding Mark Blount to that pic.

NBA should have an instructional video on how to pay your child support, starring Shawn Kemp.

It ain't funny man.

 

[Jacky]

The Pacers new unis

beautiful colors but that collar is a bit strange and the old one's were better.

 

[Jacky]

I like the new ones better... never really liked the stripes

the nuggets alternative jersey for next season is looking nice... well it's in the nba live 06 game...

kudos to raptors fans (or maybe it's coz Torontonians are all richer than ppl in other nba cities):
"The Raptors currently rank seventh in the NBA in season tickets behind only Sacramento, Miami, New York, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas and Chicago. They are expecting to eclipse the 10,000-seat mark for the 2005-06 season. The Raptors have ranked in the top ten in the NBA in home attendance in eight of their previous ten seasons in the league."

Do you have a pic of the Nuggs alternate?

The Raps have always had great attendance through good and bad times.

as I said it's only in the nba live 06 game
but since they have nba license and stuff I believe it's pretty much official

the kings alternate IMO looks a bit strange.. I find the the color strange...

Man **** I loved the Pacers pinstripes...........

 

[Áļéאָ]

[Jacky]

the pc version just came out.. I don't have it yet... but a lot of ppl say the game is more of an arcade style this time...

more arcade = better game

when it comes to NBA games

 

[Frostwolf]

I like our new jerseys, though the pinstripes were cool as hell as well.

I'm getting the home one, I think.

I'm sorta confused why we traded for Dickau. He played well last year, but what about West and Banks? A lot of people have said that we are looking to trade Banks, perhaps packaged with Pierce, for a new star, but who? No one really comes to mind.
Anywayz I'm looking forward to seeing Al Jefferson in a starting spot. He has a lot of potential and it will be critical for him to step up big, fast. I wouldn't be surprised to see Pierce traded for a decent player and some draft picks.

BTW there's one spot left in the SG NBA Fantasy League. Click on my sig for details. The draft is on Saturday, October 15 at 7:00 PM.

well i got my hands on it (rent the game yest)
they improved a couple of things such as the way too easy alley-oup "move" but the way the players face the basket and finish their effort is realy bad and the "freestyle play" is also not quite exactly a good adition. At least not the way it was made in the game. And the lack of a button that can make ur player play with his back on offence (that can realy help with tall players, and finshing with a hook for example) and lighting effects on the court are just plain ugly.

 

[Jacky]

This just in....
Eddy Curry to the Knicks...
details not released yet....

man.. if they gave up Ariza I'm gonna laugh... Trevor was one of the better players for the knicks last year

[Chacarita Juniors]

To the fvcken Nicks!?!

Crawford now Curry....

I like our signing Songaila though.

Last I hear the player being talked about were M.Sweet, D. Lee...not sure.

Chicago also sent veteran center Antonio Davis to the Knicks, who traded away forwards Tim Thomas, Michael Sweetney and Jermaine Carlos*son. Several draft choices also changed hands in the deal, according to an executive in the Eastern Conference who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The trade was expected to be finalized Tuesday.

In making the announcement, an obviously frustrated Bulls general manager John Paxson did not specify what Chicago got in return and did not field questions.

more details will be released tomorrow
It's obvious Curry and his agent forced the trade.

DOMINATION.
