Next NBA Live OTP night

This week the NBA Live OTP will take place on Saturday (2/2) beginning at 5PT/8ET. Two more games will be played and likely recorded with recaps and videos going up by Monday. Same procedures to be followed as the first two nights (meet in the pastapadre created lobby room with password otp).

Vote in the poll for the two matchups to be played. I’ve tried again to put together teams that are relatively even and aren’t dominated by a single superstar.

Update: Based on the voting it’ll be Golden State @ Detroit followed by New Jersey @ Toronto.

Poll results and recap of the night follow.

*Any mistakes on who controlled who let me know and I’ll correct. It gets confusing once substitutions are made.

Golden State 93 @ Detroit 110

The game was more contested than the final score makes it appear however the Pistons felt in control the entire time and pulled away late as the Warriors were forced into desperation mode.

New Jersey 80 @ Toronto 122

This is the first game I’ve been a part of that was a blowout from start to finish. The Raptors just played better as a team, executed better on offense, and played solid defense throughout. Toronto nearly tripled the amount of assists that the Nets had. That could’ve been overcome by good individual performances but the Nets went 0-11 from 3 point range and shot only 41% from the field (with Vince Carter going 14-36).

Nets
Sean Williams (Da Birthday Boy) 4 pts, 2-3 fg
Richard Jefferson (tcbigman) 16 pts, 5 rbs, 1 ast, 1 stl, 3 blks, 8-13 fgs
Vince Carter (NJNetsfanforlif) 30 pts, 4 rbs, 2 ast, 2 stl, 2 blks, 14-36 fgs, 0-6 3pt
Jason Kidd (Im P Dub) 11 pts, 1 rb, 7 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 2-6 fg, 0-2 3pt
Malik Allen (Da Birthday Boy) 11 pts, 3 rbs, 1 stl, 3 blks, 4-12 fg
Jamaal Magloire (holdinmysac) 4 pts, 2 rbs, 1 ast, 2 blks, 2-6 fg

Raptors
Andrea Bargnani (Hawkfan23114) 28 pts, 23 rbs, 3 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 12-16 fg
Chris Bosh (tdoggy15) 31 pts, 13 rbs, 5 ast, 15-20 fg
Jason Kapono (HellsHurrican3) 30 pts, 6 rbs, 3 ast, 13-30 fg, 6-9 3pt
Anthony Parker (pastapadre) 14 pts, 6 rbs, 1 ast, 6-9 fg
TJ Ford (ElmiraExpress) 19 pts, 16 ast, 8-15 fg
