Keep Roy Tarpley from prohibited things. Good luck.

Congratulations for the nice start !

I am excited how it will be against the dominating Western Teams of that era like the Lakers, Blazers, Rockets, Suns and Jazz.
This will be very hard to make top 8 in the West
But the Clippers team isnt that bad ; Benoit Benjamin, Danny Manning, Ron Harper and this strange guy named Gary Grant

.

Only reason the Clips are good is because of Harper. He's their only offense.

Blackman and Dantley, what a duo. Please don't trash this man, looks good!

I won't trash it, as you see

Going 3-0 against bad teams is a heck of a lot better than going 0-3 against those teams.

They still suck

Really interesting idea, Houndy. I remember the Mavs being awful back in the day, hopefully you can change that!

Following.

Thanks, the Mavs did suck back in the day. I will change that.

Nice to see Rolando Blackman dominating

Rolando is killing it.

Keep Roy Tarpley from prohibited things. Good luck.

I'll try....


So as you see, I have decided to continue this. So watch out for a recap today/tomorrow.

Boston Celtics 114 (6-1) @ Dallas Mavericks 94 (5-1)


They call him Larry Legend for a reason.

The future hall of famer dominated the Undefeated Mavericks, scoring 26 points and grabbing 7 rebounds in Dallas after he twisted his ankle in the previous game.

"Twisted ankle? That excuse isn't good enough to say, "I can't play." said the Legend himself.

His teammates also picked up the slack, with Reggie Lewis and Kevin Mchale combined for 31 points.

"This Maverick team is good, just not good enough." said Lewis with a smile on his face.

The Mavs more than held their own, but then collapsed in the 3rd quarter, getting outscored 30-18 in that period.

"Defense was horrid. Horrid." said John Mcleod, the Mavs' head coach.

Their offense wasn't better. Only Rolando Blackman, Ron Tarpley, and Adrian Dantley were in double figures.

"We gotta learn from this. We can't have sub-par games like this and be contenders. We will learn." said Derek Harper.

I like the idea, try to keep this up

[Radioman]

Nice to see you keep on going this one

Those players are very familiar to me, because they also play in my league and it is interesting to see how they compete in here .


The Celtics are a real tough opponent, Lewis is a beast, Bird a legend

and two easy wins against the Mutombo missing Nuggets


I am going to send you an application soon.


Edit:

Hornets tied with you?

Please give us their Roster i am curious.

Its too early for Mourning and Larry Johnson Kendall Gill?


I am not sure but i think i prefer the 76ers game.

[Houndy]

Their roster is on here http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHH/1990.html

I'm surprised too, but yeah Gill has been killing it.
