I'll definitely try for it, but I think missing those games at the start of the season might affect my cause.

Trying to; but as you'll read in the next update, some great help is on the way ;)

January Part 1: Help Is Coming

In this update, Denver dominated the headlines, as well as their breakout star:

Image

Kenny's improved range on his jumpshot is continually catching opponents out. He only played 25 minutes against the Grizzlies, but it was long enough to get him 25 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Denver won by a score of 101-91.

Image

When it comes to the Player Efficiency Rating, Young has been in a class of his own this season. He is leading the league with a PER of 38.59. The next closest rival is LeBron James with 30.65

Image

Denver made the move that was sure to shake up the Western Conference. They acquired Dirk Nowitzki and a 2014 second round pick off Dallas for Francisco Garcia and Brad Miller. It's likely to go down as one of the most lop-sided trades of all time.

Image

All the sudden, Kenny has massive help out there and Denver have a side that can contend in the playoffs.

Image

Strangely enough, the Nuggets first game with Dirk came against the Bucks (the first team to give him up in a historically lop-sided trade). While Dirk's debut was meaningful with 20 points and 10 rebounds, Young continued to carry the team with 33 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Nuggets thrash the Bucks 103-79

Image

The Nuggets had a close game with the Bobcats, winning 93-91. With two high profile offensive weapons, the 50-50 games are starting to go in favour of Denver. Young had 28 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

Image

With Dirk on the team, Bob Alexander's minutes copped another hit and he became more adament about being traded.

Image

It seemed like this was one of the few shots that Marc Gasol didn't block. Kenny managed to have a productive game with 25 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals, but the Nuggets were out-classed by an impressive Grizzlies outfit. Memphis ended up destroying Denver 120-87.

Image

Dirk's first game back in Dallas, He had 20 points and 9 rebounds, but he was outplayed by Michael Beasley, who destroyed Denver with 32 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Where did Kenny fit in this picture? He had probably his worst performance of the season. Due to foul trouble, he lasted only 14 minutes, posting a stat-line of 14 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and a block. Mavs won 113-102.

Image

Young snapped out of his funk in a big way against the Celtics. When teams put smaller defenders against him, he has become excellent at making them pay dearly...

Image

...As 33 points in the first half would illustrate. He ended up with an incredible 55 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks. He also shot 7-15 from beyond the arc as the Nuggets routed the Celtics 117-88.

Image

His hot form continued against the Pistons.

Image

Jerebko was made a part of this patented Kenny Young poster.

Image

As the headline suggests, Nuggets won a tight one against the Pistons 106-105. Young had 41 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Image

Here's a new face in the team named Dwight Bender. He came over from the Sacramento Kings in a trade that saw Bob Alexander finally leave the Nuggets. He had an impressive debut for Denver with 19 points and 7 rebounds.

Image

But once again all eyes were on Kenny Young. His triple-double effort of 46 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 1 block helped Denver blowout Orlando by 115-97

Image

Kenny had 42 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block against the 3rd placed 76ers, but the most telling stat? He also had 6 fouls. This ultimately hurt Denver's cause as they went down 120-113.

Image

With some extraordinary stats, Kenny broke Kobe's streak of weekly awards. Young now averages 31 points per game after an injury affected start to the season.

I probably would too. As much as it'd please me to see Dirk in Denver, I'd probably want to slap Mark Cuban if he was that much of a moron in real life :lol:

Martti. wrote:Dirk for Garcia and Brad Miller? Hahaa, you should def make a Playoff run now. How did Beasley end up in Dallas?


I think the Beast signed with Dallas as a free agent looking at his career stats. He's played all games with the Mavs so far this season and he actually took Dirk's starting spot (when Dirk was traded to Denver, he was the leading candidate for 6-man :crazyeyes:).

Hopefully with Dirk I can atleast make the playoffs this season.

Houndy wrote:Damn, Dirk on the Nuggets. In this MP, I will live with it. If that happened in real life, Dallas Riots :lol:


The funny thing is, this isn't the first time in either of my stories that Denver has ripped off Dallas when it comes to Nowitzki :lol:

Badger wrote:Wow, the best move of Mavericks ever seen. jk.


Perhaps Mark Cuban felt like a karma realignment was in order after the way Dallas got Dirk in the first place :P

Thierry • wrote:Man, loving that lineup now (Y) Also you are the PER king! Don't stop this.


I'll stick with this until either:

1) My guy has a 10+ year career
or
2) Is forced to retire because of his chronic ankle problems.

Hoping it's the first option :)

Dmastawwe wrote:either dirk was angry at his team.....or theres a conspiracy afoot lol :shock: :twisted:


Or it was a salary decision by the Mavs. I'm guessing both Garcia and Miller probably have sizable expiring contracts, so maybe it's an attempt to rebuild the franchise. I'm actually quite a fan of Brad Miller, but I didn't get to play a single game with him. As for Garcia, I was getting pretty sick of his brick shooting :lol:

Create-A-Caption #1

On the first page of this thread, Thierry suggested a caption contest. Being as I didn't think this was popular enough to sustain such an idea, I was reluctant to do so, but since my updates are bi-monthly in game, I thought I'd put one in between posts. I will of course put in my own caption as well just for fun. Not sure how the points will be distributed or where they'll be used; I'll probably have them carry over to a future dynasty/association story that'll involve NLSC players. Let's see if this thing gets off the ground.

The first picture includes everyone's favourite machine... here's my caption:

Dirk in Denver. (Y) That should at least get you guys above .500, shame you couldn't beat Beasley's Mavericks though.

Chances of making the playoffs have definitely gone up since that trade. In the end, I'd be happy with an 8th seed. Anything above that is just an added bonus right now.

Thanks to everyone who has posted a caption so far. The winner and runner up will be posted on the next contest. For those of you who haven't put in an entry, there's still time :)

January Part 2: Edging To .500

After struggling in the first few months of the season, Denver are now one of the hottest teams in the league after this update:

Image

Kenny had yet another explosive performance, this time against the New Jersey Nets.

Image

Young's defense left a little to be desired as he let Jamal Winter finish with 46 points. But he managed to out-gun his opposite number by scoring 48 points to go with 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Nuggets win 119-106. Nene had 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Image

The Nuggets recorded an incredibly emphatic win against the Knicks. The score? How's 138-78 for a win? And Kenny's contribution? He was 2 steals away from a quadruple-double and 2 blocks away from a 5x5 with 33 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists, 8 steals and 3 blocks. Surely performances like this will get him some MVP votes at the end of the season.

Image

Even though you could argue this was one of his more quiet games throughout the month, just about any player would take a stat-line of 18 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Every player would also take a 98-79 win against the Clippers, that's for sure.

Image

Once again, Young's impressive numbers to start with overshadowed his usual matador defense.

Image

Like most teams in the NBA, the Hornets simply couldn't contain Young's involvement in the game. He registered another triple-double with 27 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Nuggets picked up yet another impressive win with a 111-84 scoreline over the Hornets.

Image

Two former Washington teammates won the Player of the Week award for their respective conference. This is not the last mention Washington will get in this summary.

Image

Meanwhile, the Nuggets will be without their star bench player Dwight Bender for a few games.

Image

Denver had a slow first half against the Jazz, as Utah jumped out to a 58-47 lead at halftime.

Image

Two quickfire threes by Young in the 3rd quarter brought Denver back into the game.

Image

Despite more triple-double heroics from Kenny Young (27 points, 16 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks), Utah came away with a 105-103 win off Al Jefferson's game winning layup. Nene had the chance to tie it up with a contested hook shot, but he missed.

Image

Young took the previous loss personally and made it his mission to make the first seeded Western Conference team suffer.

Image

He equalled his career best effort. Perhaps 61 should be his jersey number next season.

Image

But points weren't the only stat Kenny was plentiful in, he also had 16 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Denver won 131-106.

Image

Sarunus Vujanic had the look of fear in his eyes and why not? Kenny always has a lot to prove against the team that drafted him.

Image

The Wizards can't help but think what could have been. Since leaving Washington, Young has become a more complete offensive player. While with the Wizards, he didn't sink a single 3 point shot, but in this game alone, he landed 8 from beyond the arc. He started another streak of 50+ point games with 59 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Denver win 115-108 and the Wizards remain at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Image

After carrying his team to 8th place in the Western Conference, is the monthly award a surprise to anyone?


Record: 24-25
Games Player By My Player: 36

I'd like to quickly remind people that if you're interested in checking out my numbers so far this season, My Player's raw stats for the season are progressively being posted on the second post in this thread on the first page.

Making a nice run for .500, and with some big performances like that, it's safe to say that it'll happen. :) Sucks to see Houston bottom of the standings though. (N)
