Game 1

Finals game one took place in The Palace Of Auburn Hills in Detroit, Michigan.
Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace both had great games giving the Pistons a two point lead with 2 seconds left.
Carmelo Anthony was not able to hit the game tying floater after he used a screen by Marcus Camby to pass by Tayshaun Prince.


"You can not expect him to make these shots yet. He is very young and still needs time to imrpove and making right decisions. Pretty decent and exciting match anyway.", Nuggets coach George Karl said.
Next game will be in two days in the Palace.

Hope to see Nuggets win the next one...

With the draft not far away, the New York Knickerbockers have invited draft prospect Andrea Bargnani for a workout to look if he is ready for the league. Bargnani is supposed to be among the top 5 picks of the 2006 NBA draft


Andrea is a very gifted forward, a Dirk Nowitzki like player, Larry Brown praised after the workout.

"I want to play in the NBA, I think I am ready for this, but I have to work very hard to be successful", Bargnani said.

Image

Andrea Bargnani has a really good shot. He is able to shot over smaller defenders. He is also able to go to the basket and play one-on-one with the defender. His shot blocking is decent. His rebounding is ok, but not the best part of his game. He has good footwork and is quick for a 6-11 footer. Bargnani still needs to work on his strenght. He needs to get stronger to post up. His passing is not the best. He has not proved himself enough due limited playing time in the Italian league.
The Knicks think that Bargnani has some big potential, but is he worth the risk ?


Information

Name: Andrea Bargnani
Position: F
Birthplace: Rome, Italy
College: Italy
Birthdate: 10/26/1985
Height: 6-11
Weight: 240 lbs.

MEN !! NICE SCOUTING !!

ONE OF THE BEST POST SEASON RECAPS (Y) (Y)

Fri Jun 16, 2006 3:20 am

The finals are gonna be interesting. Too bad Melo missed that shot.
I like that type of players like Bargnani, but I think he is not worth the risk picking him with top 3 pick.

Well Bargnani is for sure a very intresting player, but Im not too sure about him. I know what Im looking for so we will see ;)

Fri Jun 16, 2006 4:48 am

Hmm... Your team needs a potential Big Man, how about Tyrus Thomas?

Fri Jun 16, 2006 4:51 am

I dont think I need a big man.
Eddy Curry is my MVP for this season (what a honor ... :) )
and Channing Frye is my future, his game is very important.

But youre right, Tyrus Thomas is intresting since he is a F and pretty athletic and stuff. Well I will scout for him :)

Another visit for the New York Knickerbockers: Rudy Gay, among the top players of the 2006 draftclass entered the MSG training center to show his skills to the Knicks officials.


He has the right passion for the game and really wants to play professional basketball, GM hov assert after the workout.



Image

Rudy Gay is one of the premium Forwards of the 2006 NBA draft.
Gay is very athletic, he jumps very high and is very quick. His dunking skills are above average, he could become a highflying player.
He is very versatile. Can do pretty much everything on the offensive end, slashing, shooting, especially from midrange.
He is a unselfish player with superstar potential. Can pass the ball and is very tough to defend. He is strong enough to play in the post.
He has passion for the game and has the will to get better.
His ball handling is not better than average. He must gain maturity.


Information

Name: Rudy Gay
Position: F
Birthplace: Baltimore, MD
College: Connecticut
Birthdate: 8/17/1986
Height: 6-8
Weight: 220 lbs.

Fri Jun 16, 2006 7:22 am

thats Gay! LOL good stuff hope you get him as a forward it would be a nice
little addage to the Knick offense and inside game, again hope you be
sucessful and nice update...

Fri Jun 16, 2006 7:17 pm

Yeah Eddie Curry is a solid center in the game (Y) Maybe he will become a power superstar next season. Yeah I'll go for a SF type of player like Addam Morrison or even Rudy Gay.

And AI the MVP nice...and very good shooting by him this season. Tough loss for Denver :?

The NBA named New Orleans Hornet Chris Paul The Rookie Of The Year 2006.

ImageImageImage
Chris Paul is the leader of the New Orleans Hornets although he is in his first year in the NBA. Leading his team in scoring (19.9 PPG), assists (6.4 APG) and steals (2.0 SPG) and into the playoffs were enough reasons to give him the Rookie Of The Year award.
The New Orleans were the suprise of the season making the playoffs after a very tough season 2005.
Paul is a playmaker with a sense of passing, but also driving to the lane. He has some flashy lay-ups in his repertoire.
His perimetre defense is very strong and he was among the top 7 in steals.
His shooting could be better, especially from beyond the arc (.295%), but he has still time to improve.


Thx for ya comments, I will scout two more Forwards I think and then Game 3 of the finals will take place and then were heading into the offseason ;)

Sat Jun 17, 2006 12:44 am

I think the finals are over. Although next will be in Denver, Pistons should win 3-0 or 3-1.
Chris Paul was 100% sure to become ROY
I'm really looking forward to your offseason :wink:

Sat Jun 17, 2006 1:11 am

Damn Nuggets lost again...

The New York Knicks welcomed another potential Rookie, who could make it in the NBA next saison. Forward Tyrus Thomas was invited by Knicks GM hov and they had a long conversation.
After that he showed his skills in several one-on-ones and a single shootout with coach Larry Brown.


This guy is amazing. We would really love to see him wearing a Knicks jersey, but I think we are not the only franchise thinking of that. l, GM hov said later, the Knicks do still not know their picks since the lottery will be after a potential game 4 of the finals.



Image

Tyrus Thomas is a very athletic player for a 6-9 footer.
His leaping ability and his explosiveness, especially when dunking the ball is very good. Although he likes to make it happen near the basket, his 12-15 foot jumper and his turnaround jumper are well developed.
His arms are enormous in length allowing him to grab boards and to block shot easily. He is extremely gifted and could turn out to be a power player like Amaré Stoudemire.
His body is not full developed. He has to gain weight and muscles.
This makes him a risky pick, since he is so gifted that he may not want to work hard and to gain the weight.
His character is questionable.


Information

Name: Tyrus Thomas
Position: F
Birthplace: Baton Rouge, LA
College: LSU
Birthdate: 8/17/1986
Height: 6-9
Weight: 219 lbs.

Glad to see my boy AI take home the MVP award. (Y)

Sat Jun 17, 2006 6:20 am

I think you will go with Morrison or Thomas. But it is only my prediction.

Sat Jun 17, 2006 6:40 am

I'd like to see Thomas...

The last visit of a draft prospect in New York was the one by Rodney Carney.
The Memphis forward was seen at the MSG training Center.


You all know, we are willed to take a forward in the draft and we have to deal with every top forward in this draft. Rodney is a strong player.", GM hov meant after he was questioned about Carney´s visit.



Image

Rodney Carney is the prototype of a swingman. Being able to play forward and guard this guy can jump very high and is very quick.
His dunkings are one of the best in college at the moment.
He has improved is jumper, which is unblockable because of his elevation. He can get up and grab boards.
A very confident player, tough defender. His stealing is at a high level.
He needs to train his body and gain some weight.
His shot selection is not the best.
He could be stronger and have a better ball handling.
His passing is on a low level, lacks court vision.
Has a special problem, since he uses his right hand too much.
A bit lazy.


Information

Name: Rodney Carney
Position: F-G
Birthplace: Indianapolis, IN
College: Memphis
Birthdate: 4/5/1984
Height: 6-7
Weight: 205 lbs.

Sat Jun 17, 2006 10:38 pm

I don't know, I think you don't need that type of player.
Maybe time to end this season? C'mon update it, I simply can't wait for offseason
