Another good win... wins... Good stuff MAfia!

Thanks Sit, I need to test my game against the Western teams though and I got Seattle next so that'll be a small test on how good the team really is.

blew them away in OT

Yep, it was mainly Cwebb doing the damage in OT scoring 9 of the 17 points

why is the cavs logo an ATR logo in the boxscore ?

That was the boxscore from the Magic game which is fixed now, but

As for the logos, they came from the streetmod patch and I've been trying to find the file that has them connected to my box scores because I have already took the ones off that was on my schedule

the jersey of the cavs look a bit funny
nice offseason and the draft is very good
i think you got lucky in drafting simien

I don't see how It's the same jersey from frahn's patch and thanks for the compliment. I got Simien through a trade, I posted it right after my draft:

The way I recieved Simien was by trading my 2nd round pick (Louis Williams) to the Heat for Simien

____________________________________________________________________

Thanks everybody for the compliments and expect a couple of more games to be up today. I'm trying to at least 15-20 games through the season where the real fun can at least start.

YES!! finally the seasons underway, im lovin, i finally get to keep up with it from the start, imma try to follow it, a couple of points:

-I agree with illuzions, u should get a backup pg, someone whos a true point, cuz green and salmons arent true points but they can both play the pos

-Luther Head put up some numbers off the bench

-AI is doin his thing, nice numbers and webber too

-I love the Iggy pic in Cavs recap NICE, lookin foward to seein lots of dunks from AI2

-and lastly i think u got ripped by Miami by lettin go of simien but Wayne is lookin like a nice fit with ur team, its jus that the AI comparisons on Louis were intriguin, thinkin of 2 AIs on one team

well thats all for now, keep up the great coverage and sorry for the long post

76ERS VS. SUPERSONICS
KeyArena, Seattle, 5:00 p.m., EST

TV, radio: Comcast SportsNet; UPN 57
Records: 76ers, 2-0; Supersonics, 1-2

KEY MATCHUP: ANDRE IGUODALA VS. RASHARD LEWIS
This battle will test Murphy's Law because both of these athletes can hop out of the gym. Lewis, who is 6'10" will have the advantage over the 6'6" Iguodala, but don't count Iggy out as of yet. He knows hot to overcome tough tasks and he showed that in his rookie season. He can use his quickness to drive to the bucket and force Lewis to foul. Lewis will most likely use his strength of posting up Iguodala on the block.

INSIDE THE 76ERS
The Sixers are looking better and better after each game and now that Iverson has a good supporting cast, and probably his best since becoming a 76er, they have the chance of going places this season. The team has 4 players averaging double figures in scoring and Dalembert is averaging double figure rebounds. Tonight will be a test to see how well Philly can matchup against the West.

INSIDE THE SUPERSONICS
Despite Seattle having Ridnour last season, they drafted point guard, Raymond Felton from the Tar Heels tostart in the first 3 games of the season and could possibly become the permanent starter. This will be the first time Felton will play against a former teammate in college with that being Rashad McCants and expect them to guard each other on a few possessions tonight. Felton wasn't the only player added to the Sonics in the off-season as the Sonics were able to sign Troy Murphy through free agency who is now their starting power forward. He is already making an impact in three games averaging 9.3ppg and 11.3rpg.

PROBABLE STARTERS

C-Samuel Dalembert
PF-Chris Webber
SF-Andre Iguodala
SG-Rashad McCants
PG-Allen Iverson


C-Robert Swift
PF-Troy Murphy
SF-Rashard Lewis
SG-Ray Allen
PG-Raymond Felton

Thanks, and I know you came in late last season to check out the dynasty so I'm glad you will be able to watch from the beginning. As for me getting a backup PG, I might worry about that later on through the season because it all depends on how well my team is doing without that point guard. Green has been doing a good job playing the PG spot and I've also used McCants at the PG spot a few times so if I start to have problems then you may see some changes.

I was shocked at Head too because he just came in and just start dominating like he was a star 6th man in the league. I wasn't expecting him to go off that much so maybe that's the reason why he scored that much. From now on, I'll watch out for him.

AI and Cwebb have been working really well together. Right now, Iverson is averaging 25.5ppg and 8.5rpg and Cwebb averaging 24ppg. I'm working with AI pretty well despite I never played with him. I'm still waiting on one of those 30 and 40-point games from him though because I want to see how it feels to be in the zone with Iverson I got the Iggy angle of that pic from when I had the same angle with a pic from Stoudemire in my Suns dynasty. I like the angle because it shows good detail of the shoe and it looks realistic.

And what you mean by I got ripped by Miami, I'm the one that got Simien from them for Williams Also thanks for the long post, no need to be sorry about that because at least I know your interested in asking questions.

[FendeR`]

I played a few games pre-trade with Iverson and the Sixers, and I had to pretty much completely rely on AI. It was funny, because I played a few games of a dynasty with them and Iverson was averaging like 45.

The two Allen's fought hard in tonight's game

SEATTLE, November 2 (Ticker) -- The season could not be going any better for Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers. Iverson scored 18 of his 33 points in the 2nd half as the 76ers remained unbeaten on the 2005-06 season with a 107-99 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics. Philadelphia entered the game with a 2-0 record, scoring in the 100-point range in each game. The 76ers led for most of the game, although Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis scored 10 straight points combined midway through the final period, including a 3-pointer by Allen at the 4:26 mark that cut the SuperSonics' deficit to 99-93. But Iverson had six points and an assist in an 8-2 spurt close to the end of the game.

Allen scored 12 of his 26 points in the fourth, but Iguodala countered with 10 to keep Seattle at bay. While Allen was outstanding, Rashard Lewis had one of his worst games shooting wise with 23 points, but on 9-of-24 shooting. Chris Webber was in early foul trouble in the 2nd quarter picking up his 3rd foul, then later on in the 3rd quarter, he picked up his 4th foul which caused him to only play 30 minutes. He was having an off night, shooting 5-14 from the field with 12 points.

Seattle trailed by as many as 10 in the third, but Troy Murphy sparked a rally with 8 of his 15 points in the period as the Sonics drew within 72-70 with 2:48 to go in the period. But Iverson, who also had nine assists and six steals, found Rashad McCants for a 3-pointer at the other end to ignite a mini run into the 4th quarter. Iverson was injured at the 9:40 mark in the 3rd quarter and was caught holding his knee. “It felt like a cramp, but I couldn’t really tell what it was because I’m no doctor,” Iverson said. Two and half minutes later, Iverson came back out and finished out the rest of the game on a banged up knee. “That just shows the heart that he has,” Rashard Lewis said. “He know his team needs him and no matter what, he will go out there and do what he can.”

Wayne Simien continued to shine off the bench, scoring 11 points and McCants added 12 for the Sixers, who only committed 10 turnovers to the Sonics 17. “We played solid tonight and it’s just the start of the season, so we can’t relax at all,” Coach O’Brien said. “Iverson will be able to rest for a day since we won’t hold practice tomorrow and the doctor stated that he has a sore knee, but doesn’t plan on missing any games which is a good sign for the team.”

[John WB]

Nice win. But Ray Allen looks sick in that pic. You caught him on an off night.

[pHLo]

wow, three wins in a row, so far
it seems like u're doin as fine as u did with the suns

[Fresh8]

Iverson for MVP!

[Drex]

Nice dynasty, man...how serious is AI's injury??

[-BHZMAFIA-]

I played a few games pre-trade with Iverson and the Sixers, and I had to pretty much completely rely on AI. It was funny, because I played a few games of a dynasty with them and Iverson was averaging like 45.

lol, well that's what you got to do when you have hardly any help.

Nice win. But Ray Allen looks sick in that pic. You caught him on an off night.

Thanks, and I guess he looks sick because its the bald version of Allen and it looks like he has cancer or something.

wow, three wins in a row, so far
it seems like u're doin as fine as u did with the suns

Yep, but the strength of my schedule hasn't been up to par really yet. I play the Cavs next again, then Lakers then Cavs again. So the schedule should start getting a little tougher later on.

Iverson for MVP!

He is putting up MVP numbers, can't doubt that

Nice dynasty, man...how serious is AI's injury??

Thanks again, and about AI's injury, he will still be able to play, but some of his ratings will drop such as speed, quickness and anything that has to do with the knee. That's going to kind of hurt since some of his strengths is his quickness.

[C89KF]

seem like your team will be another phoenix team from last year

CAVALIERS VS. 76ERS
Wachovia Center, Philadephia, 7:30 p.m., EST

TV, radio: Comcast SportsNet; UPN 57
Records: Cavaliers, 3-1; Sixers, 3-0
Injurt Report: Sixers- Allen Iverson (sore knee)

KEY MATCHUP: SAMUEL DALEMBERT VS. ZYDRUNAS ILGAUSKAS
Dalembert has struggled mightly at the start of the season shooting wise, but defensive wise, he has been putting up great numbers. He is grabbing 15 boards per game to go along with 2.3bpg. Ilgauskas is averaging a double-double for the Cavs. The matchup tonight should belong to Dalembert because of his length and being able to block shots consistently. Dalembert also has more athleticism, but Ilgauskas can be very slick at times with his slow movements so Dalembert must be patient on the defensive end.

INSIDE THE 76ERS
Philly will look to continue their win streak against the Cavaliers with a win tonight. After this game, the Sixers will play the Lakers, then travel to Cleveland to play the Cavaliers once again. That will be their 3rd time playing each other in just 8 days. Don't expect Iverson to get that much rest in tonight's game because he stated earlier today at shootaround that his knee is feeling alot better.

INSIDE THE CAVALIERS
Cleveland struggled in the first meeting between these two teams. They only scored 84 points in the game and combined for 25 points in the 2nd and 4th quarter. Lebron put up good numbers, but only shot 9-21 from the field and committed 3 turnovers. They only loss of the season has come from the 76ers.

PROBABLE STARTERS

C-Samuel Dalembert
PF-Chris Webber
SF-Andre Iguodala
SG-Rashad McCants
PG-Allen Iverson


C-Zydrunas Ilgauskas
PF-Drew Gooden
SF-Jiri Welsch
SG-Lebron James
PG-Deron Williams

Thanks, and I guess he looks sick because its the bald version of Allen and it looks like he has cancer or something.

Yeah, who's Ray Allen is that? I think there are better bald Allen's than that out there.

[Drex]

LMAO, the Cavs again

[Fresh8]

[-BHZMAFIA-]

Yeah, who's Ray Allen is that? I think there are better bald Allen's than that out there.

Well Mikki, clarkmylove and melloman made a bald version of ray allen and they all look the same IMO so I don't know which one I have.

LMAO, the Cavs again

Yea I know, I hate NBA Live's generated schedules. They always have stupid schedule scenarios. Like sometimes, I have an entire week off on my schedule.

I tried to say hi mafia... on msn

Nice to see you back in the thread I didn't know if Splitter was a good choice or not for the Lakers because I'm not really use to watching him play. Thanks and I hope no problem comes up either because I've already experienced enough of that And I didn't really notice that I had passed your dynasty in views until now. I guess thats coo

[[C][B]#4]

Drew Gooden was on his way to another big game until he fouled out in the 4th quarter

PHILADELPHIA, November 2 (Ticker) -- Allen Iverson had trouble with his jump shot all night, but not with the game on the line. Iverson made just 9-of-23 shots but four straight free throws in the final 40 seconds as the Philadelphia 76ers move to 4-0 on the season with a 121-116 shootout against the Cleveland Cavaliers. “As soon as I stepped to the line, I knew I was going to knock them down," Iverson said. "Just having the time that I had, I made sure that it was just like any other free throw. Even with my knee hurting a little bit, I tried to bend my knees and let it go and not think about the pain. I was able to hit the freebies."

Already suffering from a sore left knee Iverson had to nail the free throws despite playing with sprains and sore in his knee. "I hurt it the previous game and tonight, I went up for a shot and got bumped again and I had to sit down for most of the 2nd quarter," Iverson said. "Later in the game, I got back in and start feeling more soreness.” Iguodala, who led the team with 26 points, nearly had a triple double for the game with 10 assists and 9 rebounds. "I was just trying to take what the defense gave me," Iguodala said. "When I penetrated to the goal, I was just trying to get the ball to the open man. My teammates did all the work. They hit all the shots."

"Every superlative I could ever say, I think that I've said it already," Sixers coach Jim O'Brien said of Iguodala. "I think that it shows an unbelievable amount of savvy. There's more ways to beat a team other than scoring." Taking advantage of the absence of Cavaliers power forward Drew Gooden, who fouled out in the 4th quarter, the Sixers just kept pounding the paint and trying to get inside to draw the contact. "Webber had a tremendous game help fouling Gooden out, and as a team, we had a great game as a unit," Marc Jackson said. "We just played together well. It was very beneficial in helping the team to the victory."

"Watching the tape of our last game against them, Drew was a presence inside," Cavaliers coach Brendan Malone said. "We got hurt inside and we're already thin inside as it is." Philadelphia held a 114-107 lead after a jumper by Korver with 2:19 left, but Cleveland stormed back, pulling within 116-113 when Lebron James sanked a jumper with a 1:01 left in the game. The Sixers worked the clock down and Iguodala nailed a jumper over Welsch from about three feet beyond the foul line for a five-point cushion. After an errant pass by Deron Williams, Allen Iverson then went on to knock down the free throws that sealed the game. James produced 25 points, but just 2 rebounds and three assists and Deron Williams added 22 points for the Cavaliers.
