[Murat]

LeQueer, as Jae said.

[Clutch]

You should change Bron to #6! Tough loss, LeQueen really killed you.

Thought about it, but the jersey # switch doesn't make much sense since he opted to stay w/the Cavs in this dynasty story;

Awesome win. Did you take control for the final play or did the AI come through?

AI all the way; as mentioned, the Curry-to-Biedrins assist totally blew me away!


z02, valor, badger - lol so much LeBron hatin' now; he's still one of the most unstoppable forces in the league, just in a different uni; we'll see how much venom holds up and who changes their tune especially if/when the big 3 pull off the improbable and take a title in a season or two

Curry, Warriors Close 2011 On High Note

Dec 30, 2011 Oakland, CA -- "Relentless," was the word point guard Jameer Nelson used to describe Golden State's Stephen Curry in a 126-110 victory over the visiting Orlando Magic, the Warriors final game of 2011.

From the opening quarter Curry attacked the opposition's defense and Nelson in particular, who picked up his second foul just minutes into the match and spent a majority of the night observing from the bench.

With Nelson sidelined in foul trouble, Curry and the Warriors kept the pressure on Orlando's 2nd-year backup point guard, Stanley Knight, who turned in a decent 15 point, 7 assist evening but hurt the Magic with a game-high 7 turnovers.

"Coach (Johnson) told me to stay aggressive and keep the heat on their play makers," said Curry who finished with a game-high 30 points, 7 assists including a perfect 12-12 from the charity stripe. "We knew Dwight (Howard) would be his usual dominant self inside; so the goal was to try and contain everyone else."

Golden State led by 7 after the 1st-quarter and as many as 19 midway through the second, if not for a 7-0 run by Howard to end the quarter which shaved the Warriors' lead down to a dozen by halftime.

But Howard's monster 20 point, 17 rebound night was not enough as Golden State held even with Orlando in the third period and put them away comfortably in the fourth. "Turn the ball over and commit as many fouls as we did, you can expect to lose," said a frustrated Howard.

Also visibly disappointed was Kevin Martin, who lost the personal duel against Vince Carter in the battle of swapped, former teams.

"Those guys know my tendencies and preferences well and forced me to take a few tougher shots than usual," said Martin who went 0-3 from downtown and finished 7-15 from the field for 16 points. Carter totaled 23 points also notching 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in a solid all-around performance.

Curry and the Warriors will have a few nights off then ring in the 2012 new year defending home court against rising star Tyreke Evans and local rivals, the Sacramento Kings.

[dare]

Maverick flying high, good win man

[Alpha_]

what? only 5 attempts at the 3pt. country? anyway nice win..

[Bucket]

GO HOME MAGIC Good win.
Biedrins to starting lineup.

[kibaxx7]

Only 5 3PT attempted? But great game by VC

[Clutch]

Durantula_mvp - Biedrins is itching to return to the starting line and making a valid case, but unless i move Noah, it's too tough a call for coach Johnson to make;

Thierry, King Dee - yeah, i was pretty surprised that attacking the interior seemed to be Orlando's Achilles heel considering D-Ho's defensive presence;

dare - funny thing about Maverick is he's got the Offensive Awareness rating of an avocado, but his dunks are through the roof whenever he's in position to attack the basket

[Axel The Great]

Awesome! You beat two elite teams in a row! Curry was just excellent!

[Lamrock]

Congrats on the win over the Magic. Carter-Martin deal looked pretty good in that game.

[Martti.]

Curry not attempting a three? hahaa. Great 2-game stretch with wins over the Magic and Cavs.

And LeBron said during the season that he will be changing his number, I doubt he knew then that he was taking his talents to South Beach.

[Andrew]

Nice game by Curry, he was money from the free throw line. Quiet game on the boards for Noah but Howard was certainly gobbling up the rebounds in that one.

[Clutch]

Andrew - yeah, whenever Dwight's in town, rebounds are few and far between unfortunately;

I doubt he knew then that he was taking his talents to South Beach.

an assumption definitely debatable but ultimately unprovable one way or another without the King admitting so himself incidentally, I'm leaving LBJ at #23 for this dynasty thread; the whole changing just to change (Amar'e 32 to 1, Kobe 8 to 24 and now LBJ) is just stupid imo

Lamrock, Axel - thx guys

Jennings Injures Knee, Out 8 Weeks

Dec 31, 2011 Indianapolis, Indiana (AP) - Star point guard Brandon Jennings was the latest victim of the injury bug which bit the Milwaukee Bucks hard in the final month of 2011.

In a 100-111 Loss to the Indiana Pacers on the final day of the year, Jennings came down awkwardly after a hard foul by forward Mike Dunleavy Jr., midway through the 2nd quarter. While X-ray scans indicated no fracture, MRI results revealed extensive tendon and ligament damage sidelining Jennings for recovery and rehab a minimum 8 weeks.

News of Jennings' injury came as a crushing blow to Milwaukee who had already lost backup point guard Luke Ridnour to a broken wrist bone a few weeks earlier and, with a 12-15 record and 6.5 games back, are struggling to stay in the playoff hunt.

"It's disappointing," Jennings told reporters. "I'm not sure what he (Dunleavy) was thinking, but that type dirty player doesn't belong in the NBA."

Dunleavy was ejected on a flagrant foul 2, but showed little remorse for his actions after the match, "My job is to help my team win games and it's unfortunate he (Jennings) got hurt. But injuries happen; it's a part of the game and honestly? I didn't hit him that hard."

The excessive foul is being reviewed though no further actions have been taken at this time but will likely result in future game suspensions for the 9-year pro forward.

If all goes well, Jennings is estimated to return right around All-Star Weekend, though his participation, if voted, would be highly unlikely. A fan favorite now in his third NBA season, Jennings' numbers have dipped slightly with the emergence of Bucks' bigman Andrew Bogut and the All-Star caliber season being had by teammate, Michael Redd.

[Bucket]

Oh no

[Andrew]

Really tough break for Milwaukee there with Jennings and Ridnour both out with injury and expected to miss significant time.

[kibaxx7]

Oh, Martti's not gonna like it.

[Valor]

Noah with only 3 rebounds and no threes for curry

nice win anyway

[Martti.]

The Bucks won't make the Playoffs with no Jennings for 2 months.

[Clutch]

Bad news… sorry guys, this one's shutting down indefinitely


Good news…

[dare]

[Andrew]

Shame to see this one on hold but fair call in picking up NBA 2K11 (I certainly did, though I plan to continue my 06 Dynasty when I can make the time).

[Axel The Great]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing Clutch. Continuing the fun over at the 2K section. Looking forward to your association.
