New York Knicks: Eyes on the Prize

Despite the many years that I've been a sports gamer, I've never managed to complete a full season of any NBA title. This is the year that all of that changes because I will be documenting the trials and tribulations of my NBA 2K9 season. I figure by keeping this blog I'll actually be inspired to go all the way through an 82 game regular season schedule (and hopefully the playoffs). Most of my entries will consist of stats and a brief summary. This is really just for me to go back and reflect once I finish this little mission of mine.

The Rundown:
6 Minute Quarters
Pro Difficulty
New York Knicks
Fantasy Draft

Although I'm a Knicks fan in real life, I really didn't want to go through this season with their roster (Sorry Nate, Gallinari, Lee, and Chandler). When drafting I went after big men first because I wanted my team to be agile at all positions.I also wanted my starting bigs to be able to shoot the rock, because I love pulling up. Overall I'm digging my team a lot, it definitely fits the style of play that I like to run.

Starting Lineup
Rafer Alston, PG
C.J. Miles, SG
James Posey, SF
Dirk Nowitzki, PF
Rasheed Wallace, C

Bench
Jason Terry, SG
Leon Powe, PF
Etan Thomas, C
Sergio Rodriguez, PG
J.J. Redick, SG
Yakhouba Diawara, SF
Chris Anderson, PF
Rodney Carney, SF
Julius Hodge, SG
Sun Yue, PG

Jason Terry was a little upset that he didn't get the starting spot, but I prefer him as a spark coming off the bench. After assuring him that he would get quality minutes he seemed to accept his role. I'm looking for Powe and Rodriguez to provide me with solid play as well. With all of that said...

THE SEASON BEGINS...
