NBA 2K9: Five Teams You Should Expect Online

02:59 PM - September 2, 2008 by RaychelSnr

Every year with every game release there are certain teams gamers favor when they hop online. Sometimes gamers throw aside team allegiances in favor of taking the team that will give them the best chance of winning (ie the best rated teams in the game). Richard Chavez checks in today with a look at five teams you should expect to see online a lot this year in NBA 2K9.

	"I know what you are saying. Miami won 15 games last season and they should be nowhere near this list because of that fact. However, this was a team who to sent Chris Quinn and Earl Barron out on the court last April. It seems everyone has written off Dwyane Wade as injury prone even though I�d say he is healthy after he effectively appeared at Beijing and won gold for the United States."

Yeah I could see New Orleans being used more this year, but I would put Cleveland in the top 5 somewhere.

Thought Houston would've had the unprecedented top spot. Here's my list:

1) Houston
2) Lakers
3) Boston
4) Cleveland
5) Miami

I'd still expect Denver or Phoenix before Miami.

LOL @ The Hornets. Replace them with the Bron James Gang

# 5 tehova @ 09/02/08 03:39 PM

Propaganda

Nobody uses the hornets online, CP3's sig shot is too slow and you forgot that everyone online uses the lakers and cavs.

Well as for the ***** posting this, I'm the Milwaukee Bucks all day, if U got game and R on NBA 2K8 or 2K9 when it comes out bring it, and we'll see if U still talkN and yes that's a challenge on XBOX 360 my XBL Gamertag is Musical One.

That's my Home squad U hateN on, and I took offense to that, u and that loud mouth bastard Gilbert Arenas.

I also think OS Figureheads should stop releasing articles until we find out something about the game

LOL @ The Bucks. Nobody even knows that team still exists.

# 9 H to the G @ 09/02/08 04:14 PM

They did when David Noel was still on there... imagine Redd, Jefferson AND Noel. And Ridnour, that guy is a monster...

# 10 DC @ 09/02/08 04:25 PM

Oh I forgot about that damn David Noel. Who 2K magically gave a 99 in dunks last year. Again I believe he is a friend of the family of the owner of the company

# 11 scoobywho @ 09/02/08 04:40 PM

what about the super sonics?? LOL well Oklahoma city .. something.. how gay of a team name and city ...who teh hell lives there..?? seattle was better to me.. next they gonna have a football team!!

# 12 H to the G @ 09/02/08 04:46 PM

He was actually a phenomenal dunker at UNC, very much in the same mold as James White, except Noel wasn't worthless outside of his athleticism.

# 13 akiracy @ 09/02/08 05:01 PM

what? cavs? maybe in 1 on 1, but i dont see 5 on 5s with the cavs

my list would be
1. rockets
2. lakers
3. celtics
4. suns
5. wizards

# 14 rodizell @ 09/02/08 05:05 PM

I know who he was. He was NOT worthy of a 99 dunk rating is my point.

# 17 BlackRome @ 09/02/08 05:11 PM

Looks like none of those teams will be a match for my Blazers.

Don't sleep on the Sonics.Durant is like Magic Johnson against the Sixers in 1980. . He can play every position. I start Durant at the PG for the First half. then center for the second.

LANGXII I was ranked in the top 20 playing exclusively with those two teams.

Most people on this board tend to be more mature and avoid players like yourself.

# 20 Lid @ 09/02/08 05:34 PM

if defense is better, cavs wont get much love since they are a one man team. but if u can run around with one dude, do a jab step, then take flight, the cavs are in the top 5
