Chicago Bulls(9-4) @ Utah Jazz(3-11)


Jimmy Butler punctuated another great game with this poster dunk on Jazz C Rudy Gobert early in the 4th quarter.

November 24, 2014- The Bulls used a good 2nd half push to give them their 5th win in a row, while handing the Jazz their 5th straight loss. The Jazz came out on fire, making two 3's to start the game, and shooting 68% in the 1st quarter to take a 20-17 lead. Chicago played a bit better in the 2nd quarter, taking a 41-39 lead into the half. Jimmy Butler took matters into his own hands in the 3rd quarter, hitting three straight 3's during an 11-0 Bulls run, which catapulted them to a 71-62 lead after 3. The Bulls kept pouring it on in the 4th, leading by 17 at one point, but the Jazz trimmed it down to a more respectable 8 points by the end of the game. Jimmy Butler scored 36 points, while going 5-5 from deep in the 2nd half and 6-7 on the game. He also dished out 8 assists, doing a great job of finding his teammates on the pick-and-roll and when the double teams came. Joakim Noah pulled down 10 rebounds, and Nikola Mirotic provided a great spark off the bench, scoring 15 points in 16 minutes of playing time.



J.Butler: 36 PTS, 2 REB, 8 AST, 2 STL, 2 TO, 13-23 FG, 6-7 3PT
N.Mirotic: 15 PTS, 1 REB, 5-8 FG, 3-4 3PT
M.Dunleavy: 13 PTS, 4 REB, 1 STL, 5-9 FG, 1-5 3PT

T.Burke: 25 PTS, 3 REB, 4 AST, 1 STL, 1 TO, 10-17 FG, 3-6 3PT
G.Hayward: 16 PTS, 2 REB, 4 AST, 1 STL, 7-11 FG, 2-3 3PT
D.Exum: 13 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST, 1 TO, 5-10 FG, 2-5 3PT

Didn't even notice that the score from the Jazz game was the same as the Raptors game until now.

Also, I did bump up the quarter length to 10 minutes. And I did go with Option A since I think Paul and GoTwins are the only o'nes really following this(?). So yeah, still playing on All-Star. It was nice to win a game.

Butler threw down in that game, and had a good helping of assists to boot. I have a really tough time getting realistic scores, but then again, I don't really play 2k (only have 2k13) so I haven't fine-tuned the game. Good luck, season's off to a good start.

Thanks for commenting! Yeah I have 10 minute quarters, All-Star difficulty, default sliders, and I think I've been getting pretty realistic scores.

I like using Jimmy Butler, he's really good in this game. Most of his assist were when the CPU started double teaming him.

Yep, 10-4 record isn't too bad.

Before I get going with tonight's updates, what would you guys like to see for updates on the whole league(like a monthly review thing)? I planned on doing them once a month, but already played 3 games in December I think so I kinda missed that deadline... Should I just do an update now or wait until January and do them every 2 months or what would y'all like?

Seeing one now would be cool

Every two months is probably fine but whatever works brah

I'll probably do one every month, jus' 'cause. Won't be up tonight, but next time, my friends.

Nov. 25: @ Denver Nuggets, W 105-97
Nov. 28: @ Boston Celtics, W 112-91
Nov. 30: @ Brooklyn Nets, W 113-72
Dec. 2: vs. Dallas Mavericks, L 89-92

Next game: Chicago Bulls(13-5) @ Charlotte Hornets(10-8)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 3, 2014- Huge news out of Chicago this morning, as the Chicago Bulls have announced a trade with the Washington Wizards for 37 year old SF Paul Pierce. In return, the Bulls are sending the Wizards SF Mike Dunleavy and a 2016 1st round pick. Bulls GM Gar Forman said that due to Mike Dunleavy dropping out of the rotation entirely due to his performance this year, he wanted a more experienced option to start at the 3 spot than Tony Snell, who took over for Dunleavy when he was demoted in minutes. Forman praised Snell for his continued growth and play thus far, but wasn't comfortable with him starting for this team, preferring he come off the bench, where he has been exceptional his year. It was quite a surprise to be offered Pierce for Dunleavy and a pick, stated Forman, and he was quick to accept the deal. Pierce is already on his way down the coast from Washington to Charlotte, where he is expected to play in tonight's game against the Hornets. Besides the obvious championship experience, Pierce adds even more toughness and leadership to an already dangerous Bulls squad.

Nice trade! Not a big Mike Dunleavy fan.

Chicago Bulls(13-5) @ Charlotte Hornets(10-8)


Paul Pierce splashed home his first shot as a Chicago Bull, scoring on this corner 3 for the first points of the game.

December 3, 2014- The Bulls and newly acquired Paul Pierce fought for a tough win in Charlotte last night, beating the Hornets 91-83. The Hornets never had a lead in the game, and only tied it once after it was 0-0. Chicago led by 10 at one point in the 1st quarter, but the Hornets were back in it, only down 22-19, at the end of the 1st. The 2nd quarter was close as well, and the game went into halftime with the Bulls up 45-41. The Hornets tied it up for the first time of the game in the 3rd quarter at 62-62, but the Bulls scored once more at the end of the quarter to lead 64-62 entering the final period of play. Chicago did a great job of closing out the win, turning a 2 point lead into an 8 point win in the 4th quarter. Even with Paul Pierce now in the lineup, Jimmy Butler continued to dominate, scoring 29 points on the game, including several clutch buckets and a steal in the 4th quarter to seal the win. Pierce scored 19 on superb shooting, going 8-10 from the floor. The good from this game was the Bulls' dominance on the glass, out-rebounding the Hornets 37-27. The bad, however, was that the Bulls had 10 turnovers compared to the Hornets' 2.



J.Butler: 29 PTS, 5 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 5 TO, 12-19 FG, 1-3 3PT
P.Pierce: 19 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST, 3 TO, 8-10 FG, 3-3 3PT
D.Rose: 12 PTS, 2 REB, 7 AST, 2 BLK, 1 TO, 5-10 FG

A.Jefferson: 20 PTS, 3 REB, 1 STL, 10-14 FG, 0-1 3PT
K.Walker: 19 PTS, 1 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 7-19 FG, 2-7 3PT
M.Williams: 12 PTS, 5 REB, 3 AST, 4-10 FG, 2-4 3PT

Yeah Pierce should fit in nicely with this bulls squad.
