Earl Boykins lead the team in rebounds? LOL, yeah that worked out that way, because when both of us play we usually control the PG on defense, and when shots go up, we both notice that the other defenders usually go to box out their man and they wont go grab the ball until it bounces once, so we usually crash the boards with our PG, which leads to a lot of rebounds for them. So yeah dont be surprise if Billups and yes Boykins are close to our top rebounders. So much for a realistic NBA season.

Indiana Pacers at Detroit PistonsOctober 29th, 2003/7:00 p.m. Veteran Miller Comes Up Big in 4thNew Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle wasn't lying this season, when he told the local media that the 16yr veteran Reggie Miller was just as important to this teams success as their franchise player Jermaine O'Neil is to the teams success. Carlisle prove to be very right on his team's season opener, as Miller came up big in the 4th quarter, leading the Pacers to a 72-71 victory. Down 67-72 to with a 1:35 remaining in the game, Miller got fouled after sinking a 2 pointer and hit the free throw, and on the next possesion hit another 2 pointer to put the Pacers ahead for good. With 17.8 seconds left and no timeouts remaining, Brown ran a Isolation play for Billups, but Jamal Tinsley played great defense and made Billups put up a forced shot at the buzzard that rim in and out. The win was especially bittersweet for Carlisle who was making his first trip back to Detroit since being fired this offseason. "Of course I wanted this game a little more than the others, and it feels great to come away with the win," said Carlisle. The Pistons played well and controled the game for the most part, but fell apart in the 4th quarter, being outscored 21-14 and shooting only 33%. Larry Brown said after the game, "We played a pretty good game overall, but you have to finish the deal in the 4th." The schedule doesn't get any easier for the Pistons either, as they host the LA Lakers.

Thanks Sportsfan, I'm glad you like it.
Note-Me and my bro are still looking to find a happy medium with the sliders on All-Star. My bro played his first two games on Starter and will look to give All-Star a shot next game.

I think all you really have to do is improve your own mid range jump shooting. That's the only slider I had to mess around with.

Denver Nuggets (1-0) at Indiana Pacers (2-1)November 4th, 2003/7:00 p.m.Nuggets Win Easy on the RoadCarmelo Anthony continues his exceptional early season play, as Anthony put up 32pts to help lead the Nuggets for a very easy 107-61 victory. Earl Boykins came off the bench and contributed 17pts, while Andre Miller was on the bench with foul problems. The Pacers had trouble shooting the ball all night long, and didn't get much help either when Jermaine O'Neal left the game in the 1st quarter and did not return. According to team doctors the injury to O'Neal was a minor ankle sprain that force him to miss the rest of the Nuggets game, but he is expected to be ready to go when the Pacers host the Timberwolves. Jamal Tinsley lead all Pacers with 25pts and Ron Artest added 13pts.
