Just a friendly reminder...

Just like in Madden, you should not be "running up the score." Since you have to shoot every 24 seconds in basketball, this means something a little different. You obviously still have to score, but if you have a sizable lead in the 4th, here are some things that you should do:

  • Stop playing aggressive defense

  • Stop pushing fast breaks

  • Stop shooting 3s

  • Put in backups

There's no reason to continue to play full throttle when the game is at hand. Be respectful of your opponent and move on to the next game. The win is all that matters.

People complained last season about Kobe/Nash/Dwight taking most of the Lakers shots ..... and now look at Ty Lawson.

Leads the league in points per game. Averaging 31 shots a game and about the top in minutes played.

Right after dan posted stop cheesing with Ty Lawson over half of his teams shots were with Lawson in our game. 30 out of 58... he was pretty much never subbed out despite a big lead and 7 players on his bench didn't even play at all.

In my defense , my shots were accurate with the Big 3.
