A collection of memorable stories from NBA Live's franchise and career modes.

it seems like it's 50-50 on Green and Cocobee....if I had to choose between the 2, I would probably lean towards 18 year old high schooler Green....tough one though....we'll see how workouts go....who knows, 'Melo might steal the show, or even jxuusa or micchy_boy....maybe I'll strike it lucky with draft lottery and get a shot at Marvin Williams or Andrew Bogut....hmm....

it definitely could be on the cards....I'll just see how it pans out....I tend to get attached to rookies, but I need a SG that can help right off the bat to help my quest for the playoffs....

Okay people, here's how it's going work. Each day or so I'm gonna post up the results of each round. I'll make predictions for each round, and the following day will post the results, and so on. I'm expecting Sacramento to beat the Pacers in the NBA Finals 3-1. As always, playoff settings are 5-5-5-5.

ImageImage


X's 1st ROUND PREDICTIONS:

WEST

(1) San Antonio defeats (8) LA Lakers 3-1

Duncan will once again prove too strong for the Lake show, but it will be Manu and Parker who seal this series in 4.

(5) Memphis defeats (4) Dallas 3-2

This one really could go either way. Mavs have been great this past season while the Grizzlies are hoping to return to the NBA Finals and go one better this season. Whoever dominates out of Gasol-Nowitzki matchup will go a long way in determining who will win this series.

(3) Minnesota defeats (6) Denver 3-1


Nuggets bounced back this season, however, Kevin Garnett will probably be the MVP and should get by the Nuggets in 4 tough matches.

(2) Sacramento defeats (7) Houston 3-2

I think if the Kings can get by the Rockets in this epic 1st Round matchup, then they can go all the way. Rockets pose serious matchup problems for the Kings, but the depth of Sacramento and the homecourt advantage should make the difference in the end. Kings in 5.


EAST

(1) Detroit defeats (8) Atlanta 3-0

Atlanta shocked the Heat in the 1st Round of last year's playoffs and advanced all the way to the Conference Finals. Don't expect the same. Detroit is keen to inflict pain on any team that steps in its way. Pistons roll in 3 straight.

(4) Indiana defeats (5) New York 3-2

Pacers missed last year's playoffs after Artest, O'Neal and Jackson missed almost the entire season due to suspension. Meanwhile the Knicks won the 2005 NBA title out of the No. 5 seed. Expect a superb matchup which should go the whole 5 games. Who will win?!? Pacers in 5.

(3) Miami defeats (6) Milwaukee 3-0

After a so-so regular season, it really is time to see Dwayne Wade step up and lead this team to the promised land. Shaq won't play forever. Heat in 3.

(2) Boston defeats (7) Orlando 3-1

It looks like a close matchup on paper, however the Celtics should be able to take the upper hand in this series. Expect some close games. The Truth shall set the Magic free. Celtics in 4.


Lets hope I pick a tad better than last season, where I jinxed every team I picked :lol:

-----
EDIT: End-of-season awards to be announced tomorrow :wink:

yep, it seems the Warriors suck in everyone's dynasty....there must be some hidden, embedded code in the game to keep the Warriors stinking it up :lol:


and to everyone else, awards up tomorrow....the correlation between my awards based on birdie scores and who I thought would get it and who has actually got the EA awards is uncanny....

Sit's 1st ROUND PREDICTIONS:

WEST

(1) San Antonio sweeps (8) LA Lakers 3-0

- One word: Duncan

(4) Dallas defeats (5) Memphis 3-2

- Homecourt advantage will get the Mavs home in this one!

(3) Minnesota sweeps (6) Denver 3-0

- X's predicted League MVP Kevin Garnett should be able to take his team into the second round again... and Denver aren't; it sounds like, the strongest team around and were lucky they slipped into the postseason...

(7) Houston Rockets defeat (2) Sacramento 3-1

- I'm tipping this one as the upset of the frist round... Yao and T-mac will be unstoppable... I hope


EAST

(1) Detroit defeats (8) Atlanta 3-2

- I predict that the Hawks will surprise many people as they did last season and take this to 5 games...

(5) New York sweeps (4) Pacers 3-0

- New York's super offence will shock Indiana... I'm looking for a sweep!

(3) Miami defeats (6) Milwaukee 3-1

- Shaq and Wade will play well as usual and as X said... the Heat will be needing Wade to step up btu Shaq has always been one mean machine come postseason... hes got a few more miles in him!

(2) Boston defeats (7) Orlando 3-2

- I see another thriller in this series! Great teams and great players!

Will Sit to X - I had too much time on my hands.. let's see who wins this tipping!

PLAYOFFS 1st ROUND RESULTS

Here are the results from the 1st Round of the playoffs....

WEST

(1) San Antonio defeats (8) Los Angeles Lakers 3-2

Image

This series was a lot tougher than the Spurs could have expected. They should have known that the Lakers always step up when playing them. Step up they did, as they stole the 1st two games in San Antonio. These games proved a big wake-up call for the Spurs, who went on to win the final 3 games of the series to squeak out a 3-2 series win.
San Antonio: M. Ginobili - 20.4ppg, 4.4rpg, 5.6apg, 41.7% 3Pt. (15/36)
LA Lakers: K. Bryant - 16.4ppg, 6.6rpg, 2.00spg, 41.2% 3Pt. (7/17)


(4) Dallas defeats (5) Memphis 3-1

Image

Memphis got the job done on the road, splitting the 1st two games in Dallas. Returning to home, they must have liked their chances. However, a 102-103 heartbreaking loss to the Mavs seemed to break the Grizzlies' spirits as the Mavs ran over them in game 4 to take the series and move on to face the Spurs in the 2nd Round.

Dallas: D. Nowitzki - 17.5ppg, 9.3rpg, 3.25spg, 1.50bpg
Memphis: P. Gasol - 25.5ppg, 10.0rpg, 4.0apg, 2.75bpg, 1.25spg, 52.4% FG


(6) Denver defeats (6) Minnesota 3-0

Image

In what was the 1st major boilover of the playoffs, the Denver Nuggets have followed on from their strong end-of-season run to absolutely steamroll the T'wolves out of the playoffs in 3. Is it too late to get that MVP trophy back off Garnett?!?

Denver: C. Anthony - 24.7ppg, 5.3rpg, 4.3apg, 50.8% FG, 40.0% 3Pt. (4/10)
Minnesota: W. Szczerbiak - 8.0ppg, 5.0rpg, 33.3% FG, 0% 3Pt. (0/5)


(2) Sacramento defeats (7) Houston 3-2

Image

This was always going to be a tough team, but the Kings needed to be prodded by by a big Asian at home before they woke up and pulled out the series 3-2.

Sacramento: P. Stojakovic - 18.4ppg, 8.0rpg, 46.3% FG, 36.8% 3Pt. (7/19)
Houston: B. Sura - 4.8ppg, 34.5% FG


EAST

(1) Detroit defeats (8) Atlanta 3-0

Image

This series went to plan as the Pistons stamped their authority by absolutely thumping the Hawks in all 3 games. Detroit held Atlanta to only 73.0ppg and the average margin of victory in the series was 17.0ppg.

Detroit: B. Wallace - 10.3ppg, 10.0rpg, 4.00bpg, 2.00spg
Atlanta: K. Adams (Rookie starting C) - 6.0ppg, 3.7rpg, 1.00bpg, 22.2% FG


(4) Indiana defeats (5) New York 3-1

Image

Knicks played tough in the 1st two games, but once the series went back to MSG, they crumbled. Pacers beat Knicks again, taking the series 3-1. No upsets this year for the Knicks, as Pacers move on to their grudge matchup against the Pistons.

Indiana: R. Artest - 25.0ppg, 9.0rpg, 3.8apg, 1.00spg, 1.00bpg, 64.3% 3Pt. (9/14)
New York: J. Crawford - 30.3ppg, 8.0apg, 47.1% 3Pt. (16/34)


(3) Miami defeats (6) Milwaukee 3-2

Image

Regardless of how they play during the regular season, the Bucks always seem to pose playoff problems for all of their opponents, and the Heat were no different. This series went to plan with both teams winning their home-and-away games, with the Heat managing to scape out a win in the deciding game.


Miami: E. Jones - 24.6ppg, 47.7% FG, 38.7% 3Pt. (12/31)
Milwaukee: M. Redd - 28.4ppg, 7.4rpg, 6.6apg, 50.0% FG, 50.0% 3Pt. (11/22)


(7) Orlando defeats (2) Boston 3-2

Image

For the 2nd straight season, the No. 2 seeded Boston Celtics have been bundled out the 1st Round and should be labelled with the "chokers" tag by now. The series was close throughout with each team stealing one away from the other on the road. It came down to game 5, and Grant Hill and the Magic got over the line, and will face Florida rivals, the Miami Heat in the next round. This is the 2nd straight year the Magic has upset a higher seed as last season they knocked off the No. 1 seeded Pistons. Can they continue their giant killing ways?!?

Orlando: G. Hill - 18.0ppg, 9.4rpg, 5.8apg, 1.60spg, 1.00bpg, 0.40TOpg
Boston: M. Banks - 11.6ppg, 3.6apg

END OF SEASON AWARDS ('05/06)

It's that time of year again, when the NBA's elite gets recognised. It's Awards time, and we'll start off with the big one, the 2005/06 NBA MVP Award.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

Image

Not many people expected him to win an MVP after declaring out of high school. Kevin Garnett (Min) now has 2 MVP awards to put in his trophy room as he was announced as the 2005/06 MVP. Garnett really stepped up this season as he led the T'wolves to the No. 3 seed out West. Garnett continued to showcase his complete game as he finished amongst the top 10 in the NBA in scoring (22.7ppg - 7th), rebounds (12.4rpg - 1st), blocks (2.17bpg - 5th) and steals (1.90spg - 10th). Whilst he will be happy to win a 2nd MVP award, I'd say he would give it up in a heartbeat for his 1st NBA ring. Perhaps he can get both, but we shall see. Garnett beat out Antoine Walker (Bos), Shaquille O’Neal (Mia) and Tim Duncan (SAS) for the award.


ALL-NBA 1st TEAM

Image

The All-NBA 1st Team is lead by Shaq (Mia) in the pivot as he once again carried the Heat on his back to their 2nd straight No. 3 seed in the Eastern playoffs. The forwards include MVP Kevin Garnett (Min) and Richard Jefferson (NJN). Whilst Garnett was a lock for 1st team honours, the same can't be said for Jefferson, who beat out Ron Artest (Ind) and Peja Stojakovic (Sac) for the honour. The 1st team is capped off by “The Truth”, Paul Pierce (Bos), who was 2nd in the league in scoring, and PG Jason Kidd (NJN), who teams with Jefferson to make 2 Nets in the All-NBA 1st team.


ALL-NBA 2nd TEAM

Image

Yao (Hou) finally seems ready to make the league his own and had a stellar season on both ends of the court. Expect Yao to push for 1st team honours next season. The forwards are 2004/05 MVP Antoine Walker (Atl) and Mike Dunleavy Jr. (GSW), who had a career year in Oakland. Tim Duncan (SAS) got the snub once again as he didn't get a spot in either of the All-NBA teams for the 2nd straight season. The guards were superstar Kobe Bryant (LAL), and Stephon Marbury (NYK). This was Marbury's 2nd straight appearance in the All-NBA 2nd team.



DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR


Image

Big Ben Wallace (Det) put last year's disappointment of missing the season due to suspension behind him as he returned to his devastating best (or is that his worst) on the defensive end as he was voted as the NBA's best Defensive Player of the Year. Wallace dominated all the categories a defensive man would want to as he led the league in blocks (2.71bpg), was 4th in the league in rebounds (11.9rpg), and in the top 20 in steals (1.83spg). He also provided a dominating presence in the middle for the Pistons that was lacking last season. Expect the Pistons to be once again challenging for the title with this beast in the middle. Wallace beat out Shaq, Kirilenko and Artest for the award.


ALL-DEFENSIVE 1st TEAM

Image

Defensive Player of the Year Ben Wallace (Det) leads the All-Defensive 1st team in the middle. He is joined by MVP Kevin Garnett (Min) and Andrei Kirilenko (Uta), who made his 2nd straight All-Defensive 1st team appearance. The guards are Kobe Bryant (LAL) and PG Jason Kidd (NJN), who both used their veteran abilities to shutdown opponents.


ALL-DEFENSIVE 2nd TEAM

Image

Marcus Camby (Den) finally gets some recognition in an All-Defensive team for his efforts on the boards and swatting lots of shots. Camby is joined by two 1st-timers, Dirk Nowitzki (Dal) and Shawn Marion (Pho). Whilst the Diggler selection may seem odd, it must be said that Nowitzki has worked very hard on his defensive game and uses his length to cause havoc for opponents. As for "The Matrix", he uses his uber-athleticism to play much bigger than his height, both on the boards, and on defense. The 2nd team was rounded out by guards Stephen Jackson (Ind) and Baron Davis (NOH).


ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Image

When the Bobcats missed out on their man, PG Julian Iwanaka, who went to the Sonics one pick earlier, the team hoped that it would get a good guy with their pick. Well, if you hadn't already noticed, the Bobcats definitely got their guy as the #4 overall pick in the draft, Guy Dumars, out of Southern Illinois, took the league by storm as he brought another talented big man to Charlotte. Guy Dumars (Cha) edged out Priest Askins (Was) for the Rookie of the Year Award. Dumars had a strong season as he averaged 13.4ppg, 8.9rpg & 1.64bpg. Askins might end up the better of the 2 star rookies, but for this day, there is only one Guy that will shine.


ALL-ROOKIE 1st TEAM

Image

Scouts said this group of rookies were not that good. They were mostly right, bar 3 players at opposite ends of the US. They were ROY Guy "That Guy" Dumars (Cha), Priest Askins (Was) and Julian Iwanaka (Sea). These 3 rookies shared all the monthly rookie awards for the season. The onther 2 rookies voted into the All-Rookie 1st team were Ivan Hrkac (Ind) and Zach Mayfield (NJN), who proved many GM's wrong as he made them pay for not selecting him in the 1st Round.


ALL-ROOKIE 2nd TEAM

Image

The All-Rookie 2nd Team mostly includes solid rookies who have shown that they have a future in the NBA. The team includes Khamidi Adams (Atl), Joshua Fowles (Phi), Ade Recasner (GSW), Kerry McKey (NJN) and Andrew "The X" Watson (Cha), who was this season's fairytale story as he came out of nowhere to earn a shock early 2nd Round selection and to secure a roster spot and possibly a future in the NBA.


SIXTH MAN OF THE YEAR

Image

Rookie forward Priest Askins (Was) did the unthinkable. He won the Sixth Man of the Year Award as he routinely proved his was the NBA's best off the bench. Whilst Askins missed out on the Rookie of the Year Award, he should take some comfort from this award. Expect big things from Askins, but can the Wizards find the PT that this future star needs?!?


MOST IMPROVED PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Image

For the 2nd straight season they have got this award completely wrong. Last year is was Stackhouse, this year it's Ben Gordon. Why do I think they got it wrong. Gordon's averages were the same as in his rookie season, except he played a few more minutes and scored a couple fewer points per game (from 20.7ppg to 18.9ppg). Ahh well, let's hope they get it right next season.


COACH OF THE YEAR

Image

The final award goes to San Antonio Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich who led the Spurs to the best record in the NBA of 46-12 that also gives the team home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.


That's this year's awards. Tune in for more playoff coverage.

guess the real awards illustrate how good the Birdie Score is at picking the awards....

the birdie board picked the same awards for MVP, Rookie of the Year and 6th Man of the Year....

coach of year was different, but I picked Ben Wallace as best defender....Gordon probably shouldn't have won MIP either....

even the All-1st and 2nd teams for NBA, Defensive and Rookie Teams correlate pretty closely....

PLAYOFF TREE (After Round 1)

ImageImage

The 2nd Round is here, and unlike last season, most of the top seeds from each conference advanced, with only one upset (Magic over Celtics, which wasn't really much of an upset, and Nuggets over T'wolves, which was a huge upset) from each side of the draw. It's anyone's shot at the moment.


X's 2nd ROUND PREDICTIONS:

WEST

(1) San Antonio defeats (4) Dallas 3-1

Both teams emerged from tough 1st Round series, but I think with the way that the Spurs responded, I'd have to tip my hat to them. I think they'll do it in 4.

(2) Sacramento defeats (6) Denver 3-2

Kings struggled to advance, meanwhile Nuggets easily dispatched of their much fancied rivals (T'wolves). I think this way could go all the way to 5 games, with the homecourt advantage making the difference in the end.


EAST

(4) Indiana defeats (1) Detroit 3-2

We have waited for this matchup for the last season and a half, and it's finally come. Both teams bring virtually the same lineups as they brought into that infamous matchup/brawl (less Reggie, who has since retired). It's a tough one to call, but going with Pacers in 5.

(3) Miami defeats (7) Orlando 3-2

These 2 state rivals always have great matchups, whether it's regular season or playoffs. This one is for the bragging rights, and Shaq faces his old team. I think Shaq will be the difference in this one with Heat winning in a titanic 5th game, and moving onto the Conference Finals.


Results for round 2 up tomorrow night. Will probably post after I get predictions from Sit & micchy_boy....

enjoy!!!! time to sleep :wink:

We could join in as undrafted rookie free agents... what sayeth thou?

C'mon , I'm itching for the off-season coverage... (Y)


Mike Dunleavy 21ppg and 10rpg??? Now that kills all realism in this game... :lol: :lol:

Furthermore, Dirk named in an All-Defensive NBA Team? Oh my, I would like to say that stranger things have happened but I just can't think of anything right about now... :o


The X for MIP in 07!!! Join the bandwagon!!! :D

Micchy_boy 2nd ROUND PREDICTIONS:

WEST

San Antonio defeats Dallas 3-1
- Spurs will it but Dallas will steal 1 game.

Sacramento defeats Denver 3-1
-nuggets are lucky they past the Wolves but i dont think they can do it again.

okay, I'm fine with that....you'll be an undrafted rookie free agent like Sarunas Jaskevicius and Luis Scola....although, like those guys, you will be sweating it to see if you get signed....I will be very reluctant to interfere with the signing process....who knows, if you don't get signed, I might take pity on you :lol:

anyone else who wants to be an undrafted rookie free agent can....although, it's safer if you get that guaranteed 3 year contract....but I like dweaver's gamble nonetheless.... :o

since I'm waiting on Sit's votes, I'll give you an off-season update....

DRAFT UPDATE

Taking time out of his hectic workout schedule at Tim Grover's gym before June's 2006 Draft, guard Russel "Micchy_boy" Santos was caught by observers having a 1-on-1 game against Bobcats' guard Andrew "The X" Watson. Watson was expected to return to Australia for the summer, however since his brother, Paul, is working out Stateside before the draft, Andrew decided to stay in the US for a bit longer.

It was a surprise seeing these 2 players matching up and no one knows the reason why they would be, but enjoyed the spectacle regardless. Santos and Watson went at each other on the street court for just under an hour before they both went their separate ways.

We did manage to get a couple of pics of their impromptu game....

Image
Using his height and athletic ability to his advantage, Santos set to show Watson what he would be facing next season

Image
Not to be outdone, Watson had his own tricks to get the upper hand
Watson: "Hey micchy, look over there at that hot woman"
Santos: "Where? Where? I don't see her?!?"
Watson: "Haha, you have much to learn rook"
