Ewings Epilogue.



P. Ewing Jr. (Red Claws)
11 pts, 11 rebs, 4 asts, 2 blks.

“Blowout win tonight against the Bayhawks. Marcus Landry who earned the start tonight, really led the way for us. 20 pts and 8 rebs. But major improvement from Eddy Curry tonight too. 14 pts and 10 rebs. Double- Double and he was also excellent on defense. I grabbed a double-double too, 11 and 11, with 4 assists and 2 blocks. Shot only 3-11 from the field though which concerns me. I hope the scouts weren't watching tonight. ”

"Ben Hansbrough was great again. He is really suiting the 2 spot and dropped 17 tonight. Zubcic finally got a start for Erie, and had 16 pts and 6 rebounds. But only 1 assist. Erie really came out flat. One of the lowest points we have conceded all season. But our defense had a big part to play in that too. A disappointing result for them as they lose ground on the 3rd placed Armor in the East."

"Very quiet tonight in the Arena from a scouting perspective. But i'm not really surprised. Its all about next Wednesday and Thursday. The D- League showcase is on, and I fully expect all 30 teams from the NBA to have scouts there. Some GM's also make appearences too. For me and a lot of other guys, its one of the best opportunities to showcase our talents all season. Lets hope all the rumors and hard work come to fruition and i get to have some meeting with NBA execs. Roll on South Padre Island!"

idk why but why does he look like a 40 year old man half the time

[The JZA]

GM must've been in the building, everybody stepped up diminishing Ewi Jr. outside his cold night shooting.

Still, dub-dub with some assists and 2 blocks is still a good look.

I absolutely noticed that! I am working on tha. Trying to edit his cyberface for 2k12. But if I can't get it to work I will move to 2k25 if/when he goes to NBA. Been working on a scenario for 2011/12 Season.

Yeah its a busy time of season. G League showcase now and a lot of teams are looking at end of Jan/ Early Feb as injuries mount and trade deadline is near.

Ewings Epilogue.



P. Ewing Jr. (Red Claws)
19 pts, 13 rebs, 4 asts, 1stl, 1 blk.

“Tough loss tonight against the Vipers. They had some big guns and some big tough post players. Patrick Patterson is a beast. 17 points and 17 rebounds. And with Luis Scola out injured for the Rockets, I can see him getting a call up. Marcus and Eddy battled hard against him but couldn't stop him. I tried to showcase my all around game tonight for the scouts. Coach was so impressed with me as wing he started me at shooting guard. And I came away with a very impressive 19 points and 13 boards. Think that will impress the scouts for sure.”

"Gelabale had 24. Starting to hit form again after coming back from injury. A guy who scores like Mickael certainly deserves a spot on an NBA roster. Walter Herrmann was a tough matchup for him, and Herrman scored 16 points. Mike James showed all of his experience off tonight. 13 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. An NBA team who needs a backup cant look much further than Mike. Stromile Swift, Malik Allen and Jonathan Bender were another 3 guys who made it tough in the post. Swift had 12, Allen 9 and Bender 11.

"Usually what will happen after tomorrows early game is players will have meetings with NBA scouts etc. I can see quite a few players in this game who will draw such interest. I wonder if any of the reported teams will want to talk to me. I keep checking NBA.com to see injury reports, trade rumors etc every day! Hoping my name will pop up somewhere. Prosportsdaily.com has 4 teams potentially interested in signing me this weekend."

"The Nets, Suns, Bobcats and Timberwolves. Time will tell if these are true or not. But in the past i've found quite a few of their rumors really had legs. None of them are in the playoff races really, well the Suns are closest in 10th. Obviously I'd like to go to a playoff team, but preferably one that i could crack the rotation. It's a toss-up between the Nets and Bobcats then so!"

Got clapped in that game. Rio Grande is stacked!

Ewings Epilogue.



P. Ewing Jr. (Red Claws)
16 pts, 10 rebs, 3 asts, 1stl, 1 blk.

“Man another loss. Another blowout. First time we have lost 2 games in a row all season. Vipers are very stong all over the floor. We scored more tonight, but gave up over 100. Which is very disappointing. They made almost all their shots in the first quarter and 2nd. 67 points at half time to our 43. Patrick Patterson showed his NBA caliber game off once again, scoring 24 points from all over the floor. Our guys struggled to keep up with him, but Marcus and Demetris did well to keep him under 30. He shot 11-17 from the field!”

"Mike James outplayed Pat Bev again, this time dropping 19. Devin Brown had 16, Jonathan Bender 13, Swift 13 pts and 11 boards. Walter Herrmann also had double figures with 13 points and 7 boards."

"Our only players to ball tonight were Demetris Nichols with 23, Baby Shaq with 16 and 8 boards and myself. I think I played quite well. Starting as Shooting Guard gives me so much freedom, and I have a big height advantage over every 2 guard. It meant I box out easily and keep my run of double-double's going. A few assists to Gelabale as usual, but he only had 9 points. Patrick Bev played a little better than yesterday, 10 points, 6 assists and 2 steals."

"Now onto the most exciting part of the evening! There has been a great buzz around here all day. We caught some other D-League games earlier, the Iowa Energy beating the Reno Bighorns in a thriller 99 - 98. The Bulls have just recently assigned N. Mirotic to the Energy and he was excellent today. The Bighorns have lost David Andersen who has been signed up by the Houston Rockets. The lowly Texas Legends have been handed Dominique Jones from the Mavs for the rest of the season.

Our local rivals the Springfield Armor have made a few personnel changes over the last few days. Dexter Pittman has been signed up by the Heat on a 10 day contract. And to replace him, the Armor have gone out and acquired F Malcolm Thomas and C Greg Smith. The New York Knicks have been impressed by Jeremy Lin this offseason. Due to his strong play with the Bayhawks, they've signed him up for the rest of the year. The Bayhawks then picked up Brazilian C Lucas Noguiera for the rest of the year.

Speaking of the Knicks, they want to talk to me later! The Bobcats, Kings and Hornets are also scheduling meetings with me later. A little different to what I hd been hearing about yesterday. Thats about 6 teams that want to speak to me now! Interesting to hear their proposals. Hoping for a contract for the rest of the season, but will just have to see what makes most sense. Might ring dad after the interviews."
