[19-28] 'Saur Losers | Retired

Just reading the recap makes me feel Lamrock's pain in losing grip of the game.

Thanks for catching that newc. Fixed. Glad to see you checking in. There's one spot left in the 2012 draft. Interested?

I would love to, but I don't have regular access to the internet right now therefore I think you should give the spot (If you already haven't) to someone, who follows this regularly

btw though loss against Cavs, they will really suck now, although in my live dynasty they really almost got the championship before Heat

Can't believe you are in your 4th page & you only just played your first regular season game (as a comparison, I was already in my 2nd season of my Bobcats' one). Nice work, guess it shows all the support & following that you've got. Shame about the loss though. Could be a tough season. I'm thinking you will end up with between 36 & 38 wins.

Why did you add Wade's picture nex to McDwyane Shitass of the game?

Anyway, tough loss, Jack sure stunk the place up. Shaqosaurus was pretty efficient, though from what I read not so much in the second half.

Why did you add Wade's picture nex to McDwyane Shitass of the game?

Because it has "Dwayne" in that phrase? Tough loss to the Cavs, gotta bounce back. And don't let other teams to Hack Shaq again

My first game was at the end of page 11.

Did the CPU do the Magic Trade? Or did you have something to do with it? It's sort of weird to see that much players being traded with CPU, and the fact that Chris Paul was traded as well.

Tough loss man, but great game by Shaq

Tough loss. If Jarrett Jack chokes like that every game, you're in for a 20-win season.

Sit, Can't argue with that. This loss could come back to bite me if I end up competing for the 8th seed. Your game recaps for ALIB 3, pretty much started on the first or second page. What, is 2011-12 chopped liver?

Mark., I figured Charlie V would be a better fit than 'Meka for the Magic, and makes the salaries work. Considered engineering a CP3 deal (one that could have sent Batum or Oden to T-Dot perhaps), but I don't really want him in real life since we already have a ball dominant 2, Batum is a stud and Paul's lack of a meniscus scares me.

Much bigger fan of that trade than I am of Sideshow Flop.

shadowgrin, More than you know. When I couldn't get a stop in the last 2 minutes, I was livid.

newc, Well, thanks for checking in man.

The X, Yeah, the dynasty and association sections are pretty popular right now. I remember a couple years ago where you'd be lucky to get two or three replies after a major recap. Hope its not too annoying for those reading from front to back (at least I'm not doing predictions though. )

Martti., To be fair, his pic is comically morphed due to pixelation. May change it to Dwayne Jones though. Jarrett Jack seemed okay when I was using him, but didn't notice his bad stat line until the end. In the first quarter, I was like "Shaq is the fucking shit", was was worried I would start dropping 25 and 10 with him every game, but the Cavs adjusted.

Justine., First thing I did after the game was do a free throw drill with Shaq.

Houndy66, I made it on trade checker, and liked it so much, I made it happen in the game. Right after I saved it, I saw that CP3 had rescinded his trade request for the time being.

Thierry., We were +4 with him in the game, -11 without.

Axel13, I would love to have Perry Jones. He's the next Anthony Randolph.

How'd you get the trade done then? Did you do a 4 team trade with the Raps, or did you somehow do it three team without them.

Resigned, joined the Hornets, executed the trade, simulated the Carter buyout (edited his salary down to 0 and traded him to Orlando), resigned again to rejoin Toronto.

Whoa O.O

Week #1 In Review: 10/30/2010 - 11/6/2010

Grizzlies Twin Towers Shine In Rout Of Raptors

October 30, 2010 - After narrowly losing to the Cavaliers in front of their fans in their season opener, the Raptors needed a pick-me-up. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies would not be the ones to provide it. Despite a ho-hum effort from 80 million dollar man Rudy Gay, Memphis was propelled by efforts of their twin towers (Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph), and cruised past Toronto. Memphis dominated the first quarter, forcing the Raptors to play catch-up all game long, then dominated the fourth to close the game. Sixth man Leandro Barbosa led the Raps with 16. Memphis improves to 2-0, while Toronto falls to 0-2.

17 22 20 20 80 (0-2) | Bargnani: 13/8/2 | O'Neal: 15/4/2 | Barbosa: 16/2/0 (Shitass: Weems: 6 trillion!)
34 17 16 30 97 (2-0) | M. Gasol: 18/10/2, 7-9 FG (PotG) | Z. Randolph: 23/9/0 | Mayo: 17/2/3

Magic Defeat Raptors Behind Ensemble Effort

November 1, 2010 - Raptors fans had to be disappointed following their loss to the Orlando Magic, their third straight. Toronto, buoyed by a strong start by Shaq, jumped out to a 34-20 lead, and looked to upset one of the two Florida "super teams". Despite a subpar outing from Dwight Howard, the Magic bounced back in the second quarter, then dominated the second half to comfortably win 104-93. Six Magic players scored in double figures. Former Magic players Shaq and Hedo Turkoglu had solid outings in the loss. The Raptors remain winless, while Orlando remains undefeated.

20 32 26 26 104 (3-0) | Paul: 18/3/9 (PotG) | Howard: 10/11/5 blocks | Lewis: 15/4/0
34 21 19 19 93 (0-3) | O'Neal: 17/11/2 | DeRozan: 16/9/0 | Turkoglu: 11/4/5 (Shitass: Amir Johnson: 4/3/1, 6 fouls, 15 minutes)

Raptors Dismantle Pistons For First Win


He(do) Got Game. | Barbosa is the shit.
November 4, 2010 - Following the Jameer Nelson trade, people expected the Pistons to be at least decent. After last night's atrocious performance in Toronto, the Pistons have fallen to a TURRIBLE 0-5. They were so bad, that the Raptors held them to 65 points, the lowest total since Toronto was part of Pangea. The Raptors, hungry for their first win, dominated from the start, opening with an 8-0 run, and eventually opening up a 25-16 lead going into the second. Hedo Turkoglu, reverting to his role of primary ball-handler that he had in Orlando, led the offensive charge. The Pistons' offensive woes continued into the second, as they couldn't buy a basket. Detroit entered the half down 45-28, shooting a dismal 33% from the field and already with 10 turnovers.

The massacre resumed in the second half. A Hedo three in the face of starting small forward Rip Hamilton (who is living up to his all-star contract with 7.2 points per game) put Toronto up 52-30, and the game was already sealed. The fourth quarter was mostly garbage time, with Austin Daye making the least of his opportunity. It was also Ed Davis's first playing time of the season, which saw him score 4 points and grab 3 boards in 11 minutes. In the end, the Raptors held on for their first victory, winning 84-65. John Kuester has to be on the hot seat, with the "architect" of the 08-09 Cavalier offense's team averaging a league low 77 points per game, and currently winless.

16 12 16 21 65 (0-5) | Stuckey: 14/3/0 | Okafor: 12/6/1 | Nelson: 8/0/10 (Shitass: Hamilton: 2/1/2, 2 TO's, 1-8)
25 20 22 17 84 (1-3) | Turkoglu: 16/5/6 (PotG) | Bargnani: 10/7/0 | Jack: 14/0/3

Raps Annihilate Hornets For Second Straight Win

November 6, 2010 - At home and leading the Southwest division with a surprising 4-1 record, the post-Chris Paul Hornets looked like a lock to oust the subpar Raptors. Appearances can be deceiving. Firing on all cylinders from the start, Toronto bullied the Hornets, taking a double digit lead in the first, then opening up an 18 point lead at the half. The Raptors onslaught would not cease, as they would go on to win 113-87. Andrea Bargnani, Shaq and Hedo Turkoglu stood out for the Raptors, while David West led New Orleans with 21. Five games into the season, the Raptors have yet to see a 20 point performance from an individual player.

32 29 25 27 113 (2-3) | Bargnani: 16/12/3 blocks (PotG) | Turkoglu: 17/3/8 | O'Neal: 15/12/1
21 22 23 21 87 (4-2) | West: 21/7/0 | Prince: 17/4/1 | Thornton: 12/3/3 (Shitass: Collison: 7/2/2, 5 TO's, 3-12 FG)

Players of the Week:
Kevin Durant (OKC): 28.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 4.6 APG, 27.8 PER, .590% TS (Thunder: 4-1)
Kevin Durant leads the league in scoring, and his Thunder are rolling. He can expect many more player of the week awards where this came from.
Dwight Howard (ORL): 20.7 PPG, 18.7 RPG, 3.7 BPG, 25.7 PER, .560% TS (Magic: 6-0)
Howard's been dominant on both ends of the court, as have his undefeated Orlando Magic. This was magnified by their 130-79 drubbing of the Nets in New Jersey, in which Howard had 35 points, 18 boards and 5 blocks on 15-19 shooting.

Division Standings:
(4) BOS 5-3 | .625% | GB: 0
TOR 2-3 | .400% | GB: 1.5
NYK 2-4 | .333% | GB: 2
NJN 1-6 | .142% | GB: 3.5

Well, X did say you hadn't played a game until this page. For me, I hadn't played a regular season game until page 11/12. That was the only point I was making.

Fair enough. What do you think of the recap? I used a similar style to Nellieball and my (tragically) failed Bullets one, but I think this is a decent. Will continue to refine it though. I liked the idea of mixing up the recaps with different perspectives from TBAB, but the high-maintenance was a primary reason for its demise...

I like how you try to cover things from different perspectives (in a past story). That's something I thought would be nice to use in mine in the past but never really followed through cause no time to do it.

I like the template! It looks good. Looks neater than mine cause my articles are quotes inside quotes wheras urs are quotes on the page. So at least we don't have matching ones either!

Keep it up. I'm still reading.

Like the layout for your recaps. Congrats on getting a 2-game winning streak! That Pistons massacre just shows you the Pistons' championship caliber!

Upping my played quarter length to 10. Using a modified version of mp3's sliders, which are intended for 12 minute quarters. Games were 87-80 and 85-64 using 9 minute quarters, so I'll up it.

Sit, Yeah, I think I'll do different perspectives on occasion. I thought the best thing about Nellieball was how involved the rest of the league was. I was doing the quotes inside quotes thing for a while, but it looked pretty bad. Gonna stick with this for the time being.

Axel13, Thanks man! The Pistons really sucked. Several times they'd randomly step out of bounds or get backcourt violations.

No clear leader has emerged so far for you, though Shaq seems like team MVP so far.

I'm leaning towards Barbosa or Turkoglu myself. Barbs is an uber-efficient spark plug off the bench, while Turk runs the offense (he's the backup PG now). Still very early, but Turk - Barbosa - DeRozan - Bargnani - Shaq is my best lineup so far.

An acceptable first week. What a statline for Dwight!

Decent week. Nice layout and clean, loving that vid featuring Jack too

Looking pretty good, decent week and nice mini recaps

Let's put it in terms that Badger can understand.

5 minutes <<<<<<<<< 12 minutes.


lol

Yes. I scored 140 points against 70 points at 7 minutes. It means 240 points against 120 points at 12 minutes.
