This game is so easy to pick up the full 1000 in less than an hour. All the achievements can be picked up in a single game as there are only five achievements. The trick is to plan it right.
First, set the game to rookie and then CHOOSE The Western All Stars. Make sure you put in there Steve Nash, because he is awesome at three-pointers. Now head into options and toy around with the sliders. Max out all your three-pointers, blocks, rebounds, etc and put down all the CPU sliders to zero.
Set the game length to 12 mins ( you could probably do it faster, but we want to make sure you get all the achievements in one go) and then choose to play against the Raptors. They are awful with the sliders down.
Also make sure when you start the game that auto-subs are turned off. You don't want the game to auto remove players that you are currently playing trying to get you an achievement, and then put him on the bench!
Please note that the Xbox 360 achievements will not pop until after you have COMPLETED the game. However the game has in-game achievement menu that pops up below while playing and informs you of all your progress.

With your sliders up, your team shouldn’t miss any shots. Constantly shoot three-pointers to run up the score fast.
Grab 20 Rebounds With Any Player - 250 points
This was achieved by getting 20 rebounds in a game with any player
With all your scoring achievements out of the way, PAUSE the game and check out your stats. With auto-subs off, there is bound to be a player with some rebounds. Start taking control of the player with the most rebounds. Make sure he is right under the basket. Kevin Garrett and Yao Ming are good at this.
Get A Triple-Double - 250 points
This was achieved by getting a triple-double with any player
To get a Triple-Double you will need a double digit figure in three of the following stats : points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
Points, rebounds and assists are the easiest. Take the player with already 20 rebounds ( Kevin Garrett or Yao Ming if you followed the achievement above) make him score 10 points, then have him pass the ball to someone else, who will score ten points, for the assists.
