Houston, We Had A Dynasty - Officially Retired

[Houndy]

7'6 center? There goes Yao's height advantage

[Radioman]

Rockets vs Nets

i like that

I am looking forward to see a picture of the battle between Dan Williams and Yao

As i look on the stats of Dan Williams this season he is just big, but not good.

[Axel The Great]

King Dee, yeah, Live sim engine strikes again!

Houndy, well, yes. But Yao has more experience and advanced offensive game.

Radioman, the unlikely finals! But wait, what stats of Dan Williams, I didn't post any stats of his.

First two games will be up in a few minutes.

Houston Rockets 108-85 New Jersey Nets


The battle of the giants.

The Rockets took Game 1 by a big margin. Based on how the first quarter went, one would've thought the game would've been a lot more contested. The Nets led by six at one point in the first, but the Rockets poured in nine unanswered to take the lead going into the second. The second quarter though, was a shooting massacre. The bench took over the game, Jared Jeffries scored a three-pointer to start the scoring spurt, and the Rockets were making some nifty passes for easy buckets. They looked unstoppable out there. The Rockets had a 19-point lead at halftime.

In the third quarter, the lead eventually ballooned to 28, and so the fourth quarter was basically garbage time. "It was Game 1 anxiety. We choked in the second quarter. If we had allowed less points then, we would've had a good chance to steal this game," said Nets guard Devin Harris. "There is no better way to take it to your opponent than to blow them out in Game 1," said Shane Battier. "It was a nice victory, but I'm beginning to get a little concerned over Yao's performance. 10 points and 10 rebounds is decent, but I know he can do better than that," said Rockets head coach Rick Adelman.

It's gonna take more than 10 and 10 for Yao to show he is worthy of the Finals MVP award.

Houston Rockets 109-93 New Jersey Nets


There was apparently no exterminator for this pest this game.

The first three quarters of this game were a contest. The Nets had the lead at halftime, and they were shooting over 60% for the half. The Rockets appeared to be out of it in the third quarter, they just couldn't get past the Nets' defense. However, bit by bit, they put up an 11-0 run, and using that momentum, they took care of business in the fourth quarter, playing lockdown defense and getting easy buckets. Devin Harris' 36-point game was not enough to overpower these Rockets whom are just two wins away from their second consecutive championship, and their fourth franchise championship.

Air Martin


Despite being undersized, Chuck Hayes is taking it to the Nets' frontcourt.

After playing Game 5 against the Suns and these two games, my mind is made up. Once I'm done with this story, I'm selling Live 10. It's too frustrating for my liking, and with a masterpiece that is 2K11 overshadowing it, there's just no way I'm keeping it. I've had some good memories with it, but I just can't take the bullshitting CPU/AI in this game.

[rise]

A ring is in sight! Go for it Axel!

Also, aren't like four of the Net's starting five playing out of position? Lopez is a C, Lee is a SG, Harris is a PG, and Nate is a grossly undersized SG. I can understand putting Lopez at PF, with that Williams monster, but really, I think Nate and Harris should switch, although Robinson would have legit size issues against a 6'7 (?) Kevin Martin.

[Bucket]

Congats on second straight ring. This finals is over... Let's start 2k11?

[Houndy]

Yeah, K-Mart is 6'7.

I agree, Live is good and all, but really 2k's All-Star= Live's superstar and so forth. The amount you can do in 2k is amazing, sign extensions, make three team deals, take over a new team, and edit players in the draft, which makes it much more fun

I know your Story better than you

Hehe,

Congrats for your first 2 wins. Give the Nets a chance and win 4-1.

I hate double posting on accident. It freaking SUCKS

That's messed up bro

[rise]

Kind of strange...

[Martti.]

I don't see the Njets winning ome game against you, unless you drop game #4, which has been your only weakness so far.

[Andrew]

Those games weren't even close when they were all said and done. Maybe homecourt advantage lets them take one game, but I think you've played the last game in Houston for the season.

[Stress Fracture]

I smell a sweep, Axel. And yeah, I changed my user name.

What? You're selling your Live 10?

[Lamrock]

Two games to the title. You got this! Here's hoping you win game 4 (or whatever game you clinch on) with a Halstead buzzer-beater.

Also, a question: Are you going to play Yao in your Association, or keep him out?

[Stress Fracture]

Halstead? He's at best doing that at the D-League.

[George7]

WTF!Nets?!?!

I believe ,seeing from the first 2 games,that you can sweep them and defend your title!

[kibaxx7]

Another ring man, you deserved it You had a huge season, sucks for the Nets.

[Alpha_]

You deserve another championship title man.. Houston all the way...

[Axel The Great]

Yeah, the current lineup is pretty good for them. Live 10's CPU lineups aren't always the best (see Phil89's dynasty in which Chuck Hayes plays the 2.)

Congats on second straight ring. This finals is over... Let's start 2k11?

Yeah, pretty much.

Yeah, K-Mart is 6'7.

And you add to the fact that in 2K, the CPU is consistent with what they do. In Live 10, I sometimes find that the CPU goes cold even when their settings are pretty high. There are times when this game is frustrating because the CPU turns superhuman, and other times when it's just too easy (see my next recap).

I know your Story better than you

C Dan Williams [NJN]- 3.6 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 1.3 bpg

Hehe,

Congrats for your first 2 wins. Give the Nets a chance and win 4-1.

Ah, forgot I did post his stats before. Great catch there.

I don't see the Njets winning ome game against you, unless you drop game #4, which has been your only weakness so far.

Yeah, just finished playing, they didn't.

Those games weren't even close when they were all said and done. Maybe homecourt advantage lets them take one game, but I think you've played the last game in Houston for the season.

It'd be nice to win the championship in front of the home crowd, but it's better to win it as soon as possible.

I smell a sweep, Axel. And yeah, I changed my user name.

What? You're selling your Live 10?

lol, when I saw that the last post was by "Stress Fracture", I thought it was some spambot/asshole coming to make fun of Yao and the Rockets in my own thread, turns out it was just you.

May consider selling Live 10, the bad just overpowers the good. If I find a buddy to play online with on a consistent basis, then I'll keep it, since the game is fun when you're not against the CPU.

Two games to the title. You got this! Here's hoping you win game 4 (or whatever game you clinch on) with a Halstead buzzer-beater.

Also, a question: Are you going to play Yao in your Association, or keep him out?

Yeah, Halstead's on the inactive list, not happening.

When you have a talented 7'6 center on your roster, you're not just gonna sit him out and "pretend" he's injured for the sake of realism. Of course I'm playing him, but limiting him to 24 MPG.

WTF!Nets?!?!

I believe ,seeing from the first 2 games,that you can sweep them and defend your title!

Yeah, surprising finals, huh? Definitely not happening irl anytime soon.

Another ring man, you deserved it You had a huge season, sucks for the Nets.

Yeah, but Yao hasn't had such a great series. Still, that championship is in the bag!

You deserve another championship title man.. Houston all the way...

Thanks.

On second thought, I may consider keeping Live 10. The fact that it has Dwight Howard (one of my favorite players), and it was the last "Live" game, that sort of makes me hesitate in selling it. As I said above, I may continue playing it just to play online.

Rockets Repeat!

Houston Rockets 100-70 New Jersey Nets


I don't think anybody expected this kind of blowout.

The Nets shot 33% from the field, compared to the Rockets 46%. A total massacre, the Nets kept taking ill-advised shots that they just would never make. Nate Robinson shot 3/17 from the field. Devin Harris and Courtney Lee were the only ones doing well for their team, Lee scoring 28 points on 11/26 shooting, and Harris scored 18 points on 7/17 shooting. Meanwhile, the Rockets were running their offense very well, and not even their second unit could be stopped by the Nets starters. The Rockets could be 48 minutes away from winning the championship.

Kevin Martin shows off some passing skills, threading the needle for Donte Greene.

Houston Rockets 105-100 New Jersey Nets


What a game for Yao!

This was a heartbreaking game for the Nets. Yao Ming had an excellent game, and Kevin Martin was able to close out the game in the fourth quarter. They were in complete control throughout the first half, but in the third quarter, the Nets made a big push, coming within three, before the Rockets scored two straight and-ones. In the fourth quarter, the Nets challenged the lead again, hitting threes, but once again, the Rockets were able to close off the game because of clutch buckets and clutch free throw shooting. The Rockets repeat, earning their 4th franchise championship with a playoffs record of 16-1, the same record as last season.

Despite Nate Robinson's great game, the same can't be said for Courtney Lee this time around.


With help from his fellow role-playing teammates, Kevin Martin was dominant all season long.

There! The season is over. The thread isn't over though, there's still many more things I still have to post, like the epilogues.

[Lamrock]

Congratulations on the repeat. It's a shame you didn't go undefeated through the post-season though.

[rise]

Congrats Axel!

[Houndy]

The Nets sucked ass, nice job Axel, capping off a shoe-in HoF dynasty with a repeat. Gratz bro

[Bucket]

Yeah, like in 1994 and 1995. Congrats man. Can't wait for 2k11 Rockets.
Congrats on HOF.
