Yes -- and I consistently went undefeated in NBA Live '95, '96, '97 and '98 for the Sega Genesis. This exercise always demonstrated to me that video games were too easy and I pondered whether I would enjoy a video game in which I had some chance of losing -- running like a buzzsaw through NBA especially after I just watched the Bullets lose the same game in real life was always a joy! Which reminds me -- better coach, Wittman, Bickerstaff, or Lynam?

So the team is going to peak/gel at the best time? Gortat/Seraphin/Humpries/Nene/Gooden Pierce/Porter/Butler Wall/Beal/Sessions/Temple I feel like at the Guard, Post and Swingman there is enough depth that whomever is having up or down nights can beast...

But you know we are blowing this game... and then winning it in the 4th...

It's an away game, right? I'm actually on business in Crystal City... would be very tempting to go...

Aww shhii... sorry about that - I figured that I'm so far behind on movies everyone had seen those... dang, only 6 months behind.

Uh... is Randy going to explain why he treated Otto like a bust? Or was he just stashed like a secret weapon? Because he was getting scrub minutes....

So there's no problem for the NBA the Knicks sit Melo after they are eliminated from playoff contention? I think its problematic...

What do you all think of this idea for Draft Lottery reform and prevent tanking. 1) Teams gain points after they are eliminated from playoff contention. Points are gained by winning, but bad teams will have more oppurtunity to win. 2) At the end of the season teams ranked from 16 to 9 are set based on record. 3) The top 8 slots are determined by a single elimination tournament. Teams with the most points are the highest seeds. 4) Winner of the tournament gets the first pick, 2nd place gets pick 2, etc. This prevents blatant tanking... for imstance some fans were upset that the Lakers were even playing Jordan Clarkaom this week.

Grunfeld is like 20/80 on his personnel decisions. Not only did Clarkson have a great game, Noel had a double double. The Wizards don't need that type of young talent on their roster at all!

I think thats the best offensive statline I have seen for Otto... 15 points in 18 min.

Hooray for international travel! Caught Interstellar, much, much better than I expected. I don't typically like Matthew Mcgounagy... but this on really got me wrapped into the story. Better than anything I've seen from M Night Shalamalan recently (I gave up on his movies after Signs). The other new one I watched was Horrible Bosses... made me lol a couple times... can't expect more than that. The first Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. I saw the sequel before and was happy to watch this one. Again, good, fun actiom movie. Somewhere in between all those I saw "The Fugitive", a classic I haven't watched in a bit. It's held up well. Also, I saw another classic, "A Few Good Men". Tom Cruise's acting chops are way underrated... I will be departing Dulles for Lax on 10 minutes - first trip I've takem to the Middle East and as a whole found it way more boring than expected - in a positive way.

I think Butler hit a three, we fouled and it was 96-94 and Wall hit a jumper to tie it. Needed 2 OT to pull it out.

Allright... lets see if I can get a bit more sleep..

... whats going on?

Last year Nene only hit 10 boards 3 times so it is not a big deal...

Looks like nba.com internationally is a couple minutes behind. I am in a Middle East location and some drunk arabs just started a karaoke party in the room above me... at 430 am...

Correct... Jan 9th... he only has two games with double digit rebounds.

Not sure what happened, but one more stop needed?

From what I see, team desperately misses both Ariza ability to hit 3 and provide lockdown defense. This season perimeter offense and defense have been less productive. Pierce was plan and maybe is a good replacement offensively, but not sure he is defensively... 32 points in 2nd half is disgusting.

Pierce 2 of 9 including 0 of 6 from 3... why not give some of his time to Otto??? Watching this game I can see why Otto gets a pasd from the fanbase... but whats he showing in practice to get glued on the bench?

... and this is the point where I can see Wiz fans turning off the TV... outscored 14-2 in the quarter... Pierce missing 2 FTs...

Beal and Gortat also miss FGs.. looks like they are going for a 1 for 20 quarter... ... and this is the point where I can see Wiz fans turning off the TV... outscored 14-2 in the quarter... Pierce missing 2 FTs...

... and there's the meltdown I don't get the defensive breakdowns but offensively it was Wall, Nene and Pierce misses followed by a Nenw offensive foul and Wiz down by 3.

And going into halftime lucky to be up by 5 instead of 3. Wall fouled with 0.1 on the clock. Jeffersom doing damage but Mo Williams with 14 at the half. Both teams hot during the 2nd quarter. I just watching box score... Beal and Wall both in double digits at half and shooting well...

... and lead is 7...Bynum came in for Beal when the starters returned. Hopefully they can maintain the lead... Jefferson getting a bit hot in the 2nd q for Hornets.
