Regular Season Game 2: Recap at Chicago Bulls

Posted by: mikesatx

: Tim Ducncan finished with a double double in the teams loss.

Well really not much to say about how we played lastnight against the Chicago Bulls. Franly they let us have it and showed they are very athletic and gave us fits all night long. Coach Pop didn’t even know what to do. I was thinking this to myself when I saw Finley and Bonner both starting. I mean what gives. Stick Dyess out there with Finley at the two and everything will be just fine but both of them out there together just doesn’t cut it.

Don’t get me wrong both of which are great shooters and we know that Bonner is one of the teams best three point shooters and seeing him on the outside as one of our ‘bigs’ leaves downlow very vunerable and knowone left to grab rebounds outside of Duncan (when they are both in).

NBA LIVE 10 Simulation: Preseason #6: San Antonio Spurs @ Oklahoma City Thunder

Posted by: mikesatx

What’s up you crazy Spurs fans. I am back once again with another Simulation of the Spurs game tonight against Kevin Durant……..uhhhh I mean Oklahoma City Thunder. Just wanted to say thanks for all the love I received on my first addition of this feature that I brought to Air Alamo.

For those that haven’t checked it out, shame on you!

Tonight the Spurs travel to good ole Austin and the Frank Erwin Center to take on the Th-Th-Th-Th-Thunder. Hoping as if the starting lineups will be that of the ones I have played with in the simulation should be a shootout tonight.

Oh and by the way, I got Blair in the game!!!!!! He did pretty damn good. Oh and I also got a nice little treat for all at the end too.

Okay enough rambling here we go.

NBA Live Simulation – Cavaliers vs Spurs

Posted by: mikesatx

Tony Parker drives on Clevelands Anthony Parker in preseason action.

I am back guys and with a new feature that I am going to be bringing to my blog. As you can tell by the picture I am using NBA LIVE 10 from the PS3 to simulate up and coming games for the Spurs this coming season. With that being said here is the outcome of the game I played earlier today for the preseason action as the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the San Antonio Spurs tonight at the AT&T Center.

The starting lineups that I see fit for tonights game:

Cleveland Cavaliers:
PG – Mo Williams
SG – Anthony ‘There Tony’ Parker
SF – LeBron ‘King’ James
PF – Anderson Varajeo
C – Shaquille O’Neal

San Antonio Spurs
PG – Tony Parker
SG – Manu Ginobili
SF – Richard Jefferson
PF – Tim Duncan
C – Antonio McDyess

That is the starting five that I see for tonights game and I had set for my simulation today. Don’t worry Spurs fans I did get DuJuan Blair in the game as well. I see the starters playing a pretty good amount of time tonight during the game as I had most play alot during my simulation.

Here we go:

The game started off pretty slow offensively for both teams. Tony Parker and Tim Duncan went to work early on with pick and rolls and Tony getting some nice open looks for quick scores. LeBron James and company could not buy a bucket as nothing was falling for the team. The end of the first would draw to a near as both teams combined to score just 26 points.

Spurs won the quarter 14-12.
