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."

Probably not, but the 99 dunk rating was handed out like fliers and several players received it when it wasn't deserving.

# 23 DC @ 09/02/08 05:51 PM

There weren't THAT many 99 dunk ratings on the game. Kobe and TMAC also didn't deserve it but WHY the hell did DAVID NOEL get one still baffles me till this day

I was seriously mad at that man.....

Yes I'm very serious, and I just don't like people disrespecting my squads, Bucks, Packers, Brewers, Badgers, or the Golden Eagles.

Then won't play against them, if your not into sports games why are you even on the site, and for your info, guy who says about playing players like myself, that's why on 2K I am 750 (89%) Feedback which means that a lot of ballas like to ball against me because I play straight up ball, with no glitching, so your opinion is incorrect cuz, please try again.

I'm surprised that the Blazers didn't make the list. If Miles doesn't play 10 games in boston this year, I expect them to be very good for a very long time.

I'll go in with the Clips.

PG: Baron Davis, Jason Williams, Jason Hart

SG: Cuttino Mobley, Eric Gordon

SF: Al Thornton, Ricky Davis, Steve Novak

PF: Marcus Camby, Tim Thomas

C: Chris Kaman, Brian Skinner, DeAndre Jordan

They have it all right now. They can run with Baron, J-Will, and the wings they have. Have a post player in Kaman. Two of the best rebounders and shot blockers in the league with Kaman and Camby. Can shoot the 3 with Baron, J-WIll, Ricky, Cuttino, Gordon, Thornton, Thomas, and Novak who can bomb from 3.

The depth and talent are there, but injuries and chemistry could kill them. It just can't kill them online.

i agree with this i play with the clippers a good amount of games now. i can only imagine how fun theyre going to be in 2k9 with the new squad. i also like playing with the rockets. battier and his sexy defense i know ill be using clips and rockets next year with double defense in battier and artest.

I think Philly and the Blazers will be two very popular teams as well.

# 29 ITSFAVRENOTFARVE @ 09/02/08 08:16 PM

Nice to see someone else who uses the Bucks online....

# 30 Da-Man @ 09/02/08 08:16 PM

This is what i think the top 5 will be..
5. Knicks
4. Bulls
3. Bucks
2. Pacers
1. Grizzlies
The most used player will be Kwame Brown.

# 31 FUBLU @ 09/02/08 08:39 PM

1. Rockets (They have the best of both worlds)
2. Lakers
3. Celtics
4. Hornets
5. Suns

# 32 ajwines64 @ 09/02/08 10:01 PM

I will roll with the pacers my home town team. Should be better with T.J., rush, and hibbert now. Should be fun to use unlike last year which was a chore.

Yes, there actually was quite a few 99's and 98's handed out.

I don't know why he was given a 99, maybe it was an easter egg.

# 38 BDM313 @ 09/03/08 06:43 AM

Lakers
Celtics
Hornets
Rockets
76ers

IMO 76ers will be a solid team to use online

Right he is throwing out those damn feedback %'s as if they mean ANYTHING. That dude is probably from the inner city of Milwuakee.
