Shaquille O’neal is on the cover of NBA 2K6 and the game is great. I played it for 2 hours and got the feeling of a fast more self controlled game. The Miami Heat is one of the better teams on NBA 2K6. Also the Houston Rockets are pretty team on the game.

Its nice for Miami Heat to have there 2 best players on the cover of two best basketball games out. As you might all know Dwayne Wade was also on the cover of NBA Live 2006.

Pat Riley and Stan Van Gundy met back in August and everyone was unsure if Pat Riley was gonna step in as head coach and fire Stan. Well those rumors were put to bed as Stan stepped on the court Tuesday night for their first exhibition game against the defending Champions San Antonio Spurs.

The Heat was victorious 103-101. After the game the media asked Stan what Riley had discussed with him in the offseason. He said he wouldn’t be where he was if Pat Riley had not given him a chance to learn under him and give him oppurtunity to coach. He also mentioned that Pat and him were on the same page and are looking forward to making this team an elite team and not just good looking on paper, but produce on the court. Stan Van Gundy has a chance to do good things with this team this year. His coaching will be key in making these players believe in his system.

Others? Darius Rice and Kevin Braswell are not going to be very nice fill-ins on the bench. YOUR WRONG!!!

Matter of fact DFarius Rice will not make this ball club. I’ll tell ya why. The man is a lanky shooter who can’t get
a shot off in the NBA without being blocked. He also happens to be a poor defender. I watched him for 3 years
at UofM and I know crap when I see it. He’s crap.

As for Braswell well he had a couple good years at Georgetown and maybe he is longshot to be last guy at end of bench. Barring a couple point guard injuries playing time is out of the question. He will not play more than 10 minutes this year and all those will be from Miami Heat blowing teams out by 30 points.

Well I got what I wanted. Kapono is now a member of The Miami Heat.

We also picked up forward Darius Rice and guard Kevin Braswell.

Very nice pickups to fill out the bench.
