Well, since it looks like we won't be getting the real thing, I'll update you all on a few games I've played in NBA 2K12.
So, last night I was playing the Lakers (as the Spurs of course). They were killing us in the first quarter. We were missing a lot of easy shots. Around halftime we managed to battle back. One way we did so was by containing Kobe. Ginobli played some excellent defense. So, we battle back, and by the fourth quarter, the game is tied. The momentum is clearly back on our side. Tony Parker has begun to light it up, giving Derek Finisher a run for his money. Timmy is handling business down in the paint. I decide to put Bonner in, and as soon as I do, he rolls off a pick and pops a THREE! We're up by 3 points.
With 14 seconds left on the clock, they inbound to Kobe. He dribbles and squirms his way to the three point line, and knocks down the luckiest three-pointer I've ever seen.
With 1 second left, we in bound to Parker, but he can't even get a shot off.
We go into overtime and....yeah. They beat us. Bad.

But it was a good game.
