Westward Ho, Mavs send Grizzlies to their den!
Wrapping up their series 4 games to 2, starting center now wants redemption.
By Jill Anebreate, Star-Telegram Staff Writer

After a four year absence, the Mavericks are back in the Conference finals, convincing the favored Memphis Grizzles that last night was their last night. Not wanting to return to Memphis for a decisive Game 7, the Mavs ' four All-Stars out ran and ran the Grizzlies home court advantage out the building for a 106-93 decision.

"We fought valiantly but I guess this wasn't our year to go any farther.", center Pau Gasol, "There's really no room for error playing them. You miss a shot and already their down the court dunking before you can turn your head." Just mentioning the likes of Finley and Jamison flying down court made Jason Williams' head shake. "Just way to Devastating", he describes.

So, we hope to finally see a high scoring Western Conference shootout unless of course, Los Angeles decides to pull last years switcheroo, going from their perimeter regular season game to a more reliable post offensive. It did prove affective as they sent the Mavs packing in a six game semifinal.

"That Cook and O'Neal tandem was a bit ridiculous last year." said Raef LaFretnz, which most fans still resent, being accused of as Shaq dubs it, foul-shaving last years series(purposely obtaining enough fouls quickly in order to ride the bench and let backup center Shawn Bradley do the dirty work) in addition to his purposely failed physical three years ago that would have sent Boston's Antoine Walker to Dallas and give some much needed front court help. Last year's playoffs just added to Dallas fan animosity toward the mav's starting center.

"I admit the last thee years I've wanted to prove our fans wrong that I did deserve to be here but last year's off season sucked. 'oh, you can't gaurd Shaq. oh, you can't guard Shaq.' is all I heard. "I say time and time again, who can defend him? This is a new era and a new year and he now gotta be aware that he has to D me up too."

Raef, we'll be keeping this article and highlighting the previous paragraph-In the likelihood that your preseries jabs could be etched into basketball lore two weeks from now. We, your fans, can only hope.

L.A. Times series analysis:
Lakers in six

[HonorGlow]

Ladies and Gentleman, I don't believe it....
Mavs put an end to Lakers Three Year Reign end!

Game 1: DAL @ LAL Lakers lose 167-156 Leading Scorer: Jamison (56)



Game 2: DAL @ LAL Lakers lose 126-99

Shaq giving the throwdown. Bradley displaying the tough defense that he's famous for


Game 3: LAL @ DAL Lakers win 127-126 High Scorer: Cook (49)

ReCap: The game started out with the Lakes dominating- putting the Mavs frontline into early foul trouble. Mid 2nd quarter: Lakers were up 15 but as the Mavs starters slowly came back into the lineup, so did their confidence in chipping away at the lead. Dallas caught up and passed the L.A. with about 3 minutes to go in the game and it seemed their season was slipping away. Michael Finley had the opportunity to nail the coffin with a three but came short with 11 seconds to go. With the season in the balance, the Lakers dumped the ball to the high post to Little H. Backing down his defender, nailed a short jump hook with 1 sec left in regulation. Novitzki's buzzer beater shot at the end fell to the right which saved the Lakers season and avoided the 0-3 deficit going into game 4.

The Voice of the Coach, Phil Jackson: "Adjustments…interestingly enough, we switched to zone to limit the drives and relied heavily on Cook and Oneal for their inside scoring presence on the other end. Little H.'s triple double helped saved the day…and the series."

Game 4: LAL @ DAL Lakers win 161- 151 High Scorer: Cook (60)
ReCap:
The Voice of the Coach, Phil Jackson: "The difference between the first two games...well first off, we went back to the most offensive potent lineup with Cook and Shaq doing the majority of the damage rather than resort to our democratic scoring. Secondly, we realized especially from last season that there really isn't any margin for error against the Mavs, so our players really have take care of the ball in addition to knowing where to hit the highest percentage shot. Hence, going down low and working inside then outside. Another adjustment we did was to take advantage of our second chance opportunies and not just try to cram the ball as soon as we get the chance."
The Voice of the Player, Spike Faulk: "Hopefully we'll learn from our past mistakes and really go down their throat when we get home. Goldy[Goldberg], Smoove[Kapov], and Shorty[Wagner] realize that we have to we resort to the big guns at least for this series. Shorty was mouthing off to Coach Jackson about his reduced minutes but I'm pretty sure Shaq set him straight."

Note: Cook recorded his first trip double of the year.

Game 5: DAL @ LAL Lakers lose 136-131

There was hope in the L.A. air, as Finley briefly sat out with a leg injury.

League offices doubled Wagner's usual fine to $20,000 for his high flying comment:
Para-quoting the great Explosivo, "Suck my d**k, Raef, SUCK IT!"

Game 6: LAL @ DAL Lakers Win 170-166 OT High Scorer: Cook (63)
ReCap: With their season on the line, L.A. made two valiant come backs, one being in overtime to tie the series at 3 games apiece and lived to see another game. In their first game 7 in five years since their come from behind Sacramento series, this nightbiter finale almost would not have existed if it weren't for the heroics of Brian Cook and Little H.'s Quadruple double. Heading into the 4th quarter, the L.A all of a sudden turned cold.
The Voice of the Player, Little H.: "All of a sudden I looked up at the board and we were down 9 with three minutes to go and I was thinking, 'Could this be the end of our reign? The Mav big three[Finley, Nowitzi, and Jamison] lit up the scorebaord. I told myself that we just have to be patient, don't panic and everything will be fine."
Fortunately, the score was all tied up 154 at the end of regulation In overtime, the Mavs went ahead again by 6 but the Lakers crawled back in. Nowitzki fouled out toward the end of OT.
The Voice of the Player, Marty 'Ice' Elwood: "We got a couple of breaks down the stretch and Brian got his rhythm back. We're going home still beating."

Note: In one of the strangest series ever where no team has yet to win on their homecourt, the Lakers hope to break that pattern this upcoming tuesday night.

Game 7: DAL @ LAL Lakers Lose 179-181 OT High Scorer: Michael Finley (61)
ReCap: In overtime, Spike Faulk had the opportunity to make the game winner behind the arc but time expired while double-faking the Mav defense.


But in the end, there will be no balloons falling from the Staples Center ceiling this year.

The Voice of the Player, Spike 'Deadeye' Faulk(In response to the last play in overtime): "Man, I just don't know what to say. I knew I had to jack it up quick…some reason, just didn't feel right. So, adjusted just to get a better view and like that we're not going to the Finals. Yeh it does hurt…feel like I let my team down."
The Voice of the Player, Little H: "Well, as team captain, I have to commend Dallas and yeh, despite the outcome, it was a heckuva series. I just wish we had something for our fans to cheer about right now...let's face it, how long have Dallas' Big Three been together, 9 years? That's an amazing stat within itself and yeh, they understand each other's games telepathically and in some spurts it showed. Then add to that Jamison, man, that's too much fire power.

…we're a young team, and I think these last three years we've been getting by from our own individual talent and been fortunate. If anything this series taught me was the need for us to become more of a team like those guys. I thank our fans for being so great these last three championships and we'll get'em next year…thanks."

More playoff reports yet to come!

Honor Glow steps down as Laker's GM!
Maligned Manager opts to fulfill dream and enters NBA Draft

By MANDY STRUMSTEIN
The Orange County Register

Just three days after his team was eliminated in a frenzied paced seven game conference series, Laker's General Manager Honor Glow has officially stepped down as the General Manager for what appears to be something of unprecedence, he will be entering this year's NBA Draft which takes place June 21 in New York. A press conference was held early yesterday morning.

"Yup, I don't think I've ever seen this done before in my time", commented Owner Dr. Jerry Buss. A high draft prospect back in 1999 as a UCLA freshman, most people can recall Honor Glow's erratic but promising college games, most especially, his nightmare NCAA tournament game where he blew his left ACL while calling a timeout.

"That was just a freak accident. 'could happen to anyone…well maybe not.", recants former teammate Baron Davis. Most NBA enthusiasts thought he'd never play another game in his life.


Now former Laker GM, Honor Glow

Determine to set his detracters wrong, Glow went on a fierce regimental rehabilation program during the next 18 months. Not due to his semi-recovered ACL but the emotional scar that game left-the inability to put his hands in a T formation. Logically, he would seek out Time-out calling specialist, Chris Webber.

Honor Glow later transferred to NLS CC, to finish up his business degree while strengthening up his left knee going to Webber during the NBA off seasons. After two seasons and a lot encouragement from his family and Webber, both problems were laid to rest. Webber recalls, "You know, I have not seen anybody in my day so determined to get back on track and put his timeout calling fears behind him. It's not as easy as you think. Believe me I know."

Glow eventually lead the Division II college to it's best record in a season. However, realizing that his knee would garner much suspect to NBA scouts, he decided to take an offer as the special assistant to the Laker's assistant General Manager and moved up the ranks within two years after his college graduation.

Glow's departure to the Draft may have been on capitulated terms with ownership as his in-season trades have raised some eyebrows in not just Southern California but the entire league. For those uninformed - Kobe traded for unknown Little H, Payton for 1st Overall pick Spike Faulk, Devean George to the much hated San Antonio, and the list goes on and on. However, there may be a rumbling in the players camp as Glow was well liked among his player peers.

Some were more nonchalant. When asked about Glow's Draft entry, Shaquille O'Neal was not even slightly amused, "No matter. I'll dunk on his face like I do any cat who disses my beloved team. 'make him call a time-out so he can get his sorry a** off the floor"

Mitch Kupchak, after full psychological examination, will resume management duties prior to the draft barring any further mental relapses.

[J@3]

most especially, his nightmare NCAA tournament game where he blew his left ACL while calling a timeout.

This is cool, I'm gonna be reading this a whole lot more now.

Nice choice

[pontiacsilverdome]

hey another brazilian in the NBA cool

[HonorGlow]

Congratulations Rudy Tomjanovich!

Your new 2007-08 L.A. Laker Head Coach!

Now contrary to popular belief, coach Phil Jackson did not leave the Laker organization. In fact, he is still VERY much an integral part of this year's upcoming Laker season(albeit a slightly different role.)






(note to the anal retentative patcher: phjacks_loda.o kept crashing the game so that's why his headshape is all messed up)
(note to everybody: I got sleepy so if you can think of any more funny captions let me know!)

[idiot]

LMAO!!!! awesome pics......
is phil gay?

and i've never seen those cutscenes?? do they happen when you use dynasty extras? or...?? practice? ? one on one??

oh yea... btw, coach headshapes and player headshapes are not interchangable.. they might be, if you convert it over with morphmesh using the player_loda base... but i'm not too sure... i've never tried it...

awesome dynasty even though it's all about a team i dislike....

[alexboom]

excellent update, very fun to read will Phil Jackson make a come back on the Lakers roster ?

[cocobee]

That is some funny stuff,Honor Glow! great pics man!

Cook Out in L.A. and feast on the Big Apple
Free Agent Forward chooses to minimalize and follow former General Manager
Published: July 13, 2007

By Kris Brewstard

here is loyalty in major league sports.

Brian Cook, always a class act since his days as an Illini, has chosen not to resign with the Lakers opting to play alongside his former General Manager, Honor Glow.

Newly reassigned GM Mitch Kupchak was beside himself, at 12:02 AM EST when players are able to sign to their new teams : "It deeply saddens us that we couldn't come to terms at midnight. We offered him a multi year contract, whatever length he wanted but I think it was 12:01 when he asked me if he can put me on hold. When he got back on the line he said the Knicks had faxed him an offer and he signed immediately. Just like that..."

And Cook was now officially a Knick. It seems things are slipping for the Lakers. First the Conference Finals, then a General Manager, and then a player that acheived MVP status during the Finals of his rookie year.

His news conference speech later that day affirmed that his time was up in Purple and Gold.

"I was ecstatic that they put so much emphasis on me my rookie year and the coaching staff was putting a lot time developing me a player. That went on for about two years, and then 'Ice'[Marty Elwood] arrived on the scene and they kind of just re-routed that energy to him. No offense to Marty, he's an incredible player now and a friend. I guess I'm kind of like your New School Horace Grant, get your three rings and then jump ship[laughs] But seriously, toward the end with Smoove[Mario Kapov] starting, I just wasn't getting the attention I needed to develop as a player, I'm hoping to get that here now that I'll be starting plus I was pretty tight with Honor Glow."

GM Isaiah Thomas, also present at the newsconference was holding Cook's Number 7 jersery, clad in the home whites: "With the addition of Honor Glow at off guard and now Brian at Power Forward, this now puts us as one of the most formidable teams in the East.

When asked how it'll feel to play along side his former general manager-turned player, Cook coily remarked, "Well, all I can say is, now he'll know what it feels like be fined if he's late for practice."


Newest Knick: Brian Cook at yesterday's Garden news conference

[HonorGlow]

And something new for the 2007-08 season:


Tired of being the baby sister tenants at Staples Center, management of the L.A.Clippers decided to utilize the southern California weather and constructed Rucker Court West right in good old South Central and just a 2 blocks from the University of Southern California off of Wilshire Blvd.

Despite the down-sized capacity, the Clipper faithful(all 500 of them) can feel like it's a packed house every night as Brand, Magette, and the rest of the Clippers will truly have a home court advantage in the outdoors. For what they lack in potential capacity at Staples, they will shearly make up for that in the new TV novelty exposure, now featured as the warmup act for ABC's Sunday double-header.

[Jay-Peso]

Very cool updates My favorite is the Phil Jackson personal trainer one

[PRoPuLsiOnDJ]

Are the clippers really gonna play in Rucker Park West?????
That would be tight!!!

Ooh, I also love all the cut scenes you have ... and haha that Phil Jackson guy just wont leave Jeanny Buss will he??? lol

[Bill Russell]

LOL, good job on the Jackson signing

[HonorGlow]

Yeh, the clippers are pretty stinking good here in the 2007-2008 season...and to feature this new era of success I wanted them to have their own venue...Rucker Court West just made perfect sense. So, thanks for checking out my Dynasty. I'm hoping to continue this Dynasty until 2005. It's just been tough now knowing that the Master of Dynastys isn't here to fuel and pump us up

[pontiacsilverdome]

hey honorglow keep it up

This year's questions for your L.A. Lakers:
Will the Lakers find the resolve and find a way through the Mavericks?
Who will fill in the shoes left by Brian Cook and former GM Honor Glow?
Will the League force Wagner to choose a Charity to funnel his fine money?

[Wormy10]

Yea This dynasty is frickin' hilarious ..... keep it up
