Good luck man, get that NBA trophy to Chicago

btw, shouldn't Rose be rated a bit higher?

Well TUP 11 patchers made that overall so yeah anyways thanks

Yeah, I know, they really underrated him

I couldn't watch it so I upgraded his overall to 87 in my Sacramento Dynasty, though it doesn't help the Bulls a lot right now, hope you can do better

Michael Jordan has passed away in this reality? That's a little morbid.

Anyway, best of luck!

Thanks for the Support Andrew!

I have decided to start posting boxscores on the thread and the occasional article from my Dynasty Website.

Check out the Page 3 with Xyo! article (ala ESPN style) below.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/01/10
AM I READING CORRECTLY?
by Xyo!

You've checked the standings and league leaders, and yes, you have read correctly. That IS the Dallas Mavericks leading the Western Conference with a 4-0 record. The season might only be two weeks old, but here are some more quirky trends......road teams have a winning record (44/79 or 0.557)......Danny Granger is carrying the depleted Pacers with his 24.8ppg average, which is good for 8th in the league......the Hawks dynamic duo, Pau Gasol and Koby Bryant are combining for 50.0ppg, 15.3rpg, 18.3apg, 4.55bpg & 3.57spg, and that made Lakers 4th in the entire League!

Who's Hot?
- Dallas Mavericks (4-0) is the NBA's only undefeated team and it's average margin of victory is 15.8ppg, which included a 22 point win in San Antonio. And this has been without the services of Big Dirk Nowitzki.
- Paul Piecre (Boston) has bounced back from his LA disaster to be averaging 25.3ppg, 5.6rpg, 6.5apg & 1.1spg for the Celtics (3-2).
- Los Angeles Clippers (4-1) are on a 4 game tear, and have been winning on the backs of Blake Grffin

Who's Not?
- San Antonio Spurs (1-5) is getting beat up by an average of 15.0ppg. This included a 19 point drubbing at the hands of Bobcats (see below for Bobcats' box score).
- Hakim Warrick (Phoenix) is averaging only 9.5ppg & 8.2rpg on 37.3% FG for the ice-cold Suns (0-4). If the Phoenix is serious about a push for the playoffs, it all starts and ends with Hakim. He's need to break out of his funk quickly or the season could be in the tank.
- Charlotte Bobcats (1-6)are still looking for their second win. Have won their first game by an average of 17.7ppg. It could be a long season in NC.

Money, Money, Money!
Caron Butler. He might not have got his contract, but if he continues this sort of product for Dallas (5-0), they are going to have no choice but to pony up. Butler has really stepped up over the first fortnight of the season, and has averaged 18.2 points, 3.3 rebounds & 3.9 assists for the surprising Dallas. This included a 41 point outburst in a 104-103 win in Memphis on 29/10/04, and an NBA season-high 44pts in the Dallas 112-98 drubbing of Phoenix on 06/11/04 at Key Arena.


Butler (above left) shoots a long 3 pointer on his way to 44pts & Dirk Knowitzki (above right) holds it up in the Dallas' win over the Suns

Team on the Rise
Miami Heat. The Heat have a Conference-best record of 6-2 through the first couple of weeks of November. They have the NBA's King LeBron James (28.0ppg, 5.8rpg, 9.0apg & 1.81spg), and Dwayne Wade (25.2ppg, 4.4rpg, 8.7apg, 2.33spg & 2.18bpg) has been a revelation, and the rest of the crew have supported this dynamic duo well. Most people expected Heat to be more like 3-3 at this point, so they have surprised many. Doubting Thomases don't expect Miami to continue playing at this level. I say, stuff them, these Miami Heat put points on the board and are fun to watch. Let's hope this rock does not gather any moss on its journey.

E-Mail of the Week
Horaldo "Hairy" Knolls (Hokitika, New Zealand): I read that article you wrote discussing your pre-season picks. I think you were way off the base in a lot of your predictions. But how come my team, the Bobcats got no love. Gerald Wallace is gonna win MVP, Vidal will be Rookie of the Year, Eric Dampier 6th Man of the Year, and we're gonna surprise many by making some noise in the playoffs

Xyo!: All I can say Hairy, is that you must have some good stuff down there in Hokitiga. Send some up, would ya?

Box This Up and Wrap It For Latter


Cause: Nazr Mohammed was promoted to Starter
Effect:Bobcats win by 19 points, and the Big 4 combine to score 104 points in the Bobcats' thumping of the Spurs.

A Line To Die For
November 6, 2004, New Jersey at Golden State

Line: 44mins, 42pts, 17-29 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT, 7rebs, 6asts, 1stl, 1blk, 3TO's

This was Mike Dunleavy Jr's line in the Warriors 100-98 home win over the Nets. Dunleavy has taken a lot of heat over the past two seasons after being selected 3rd overall in the 2002 NBA Draft after leaving Duke after his junior season. This game was a breakout for Dunleavy, who leads the Warriors (4-2) in scoring (22.3ppg - 20th in NBA).

1st TRI-MESTER SUMMARY

I'm one-third of the way through the 2010/11 season and I've got the Bulls at 16-14 and we are on a 2 Winning Streak. It's been up-and-down, but team is going through learning curve. The best performer has easily been Star PG Derrick Rose, who leads the team in scoring, rebounding and blocks. Carlos Boozer and Derrick Rose are each getting between 11-20ppg and 7-8rpg, with Carlos Boozer supplying a strong defensive presence on the perimeter.

Where one of the 'Bulls major problems lie are with its Turnover. No SF or SG has stepped up and secured each respective position. Ronnie Brewer was starting to look like he had starting spot secured only to injure himself for the next 2 weeks. I think at the moment the guard position are manned by committee. Whoever is hot plays, as simple as that. The teams rely on defense to win games, as its scoring ability stinks.

It will be a long season, and whilst the playoffs remain a possibility, it's unlikely with the current core that the team can reach this lofty level. Chicago seems to be holding out for the Draft (which is not that deep) and Free Agency to stock the team with some more talent.

PIC OF THE 1st TRI-MESTER


Carlos Boozer got the alley-oop from Derrick rose to slam it home in the Bulls'' home win against the New Jersey Nets. This picture is really a true snapshot of the Bulls' progress so far this season. Defense, hustle and a never-say-die attitute have helped to make up for the lack of talent on the roster.

Although the season is still relatively young, it has not stopped the Bobcats from looking to the future as its scouts have been scouring the globe for the next big thing.

The scouting trip began in:

US SOUTHWEST



Whilst still not that deep, US southwest still managed to provide its usual share of raw big men. However, it was a SG who has NBA scouts buzzing. His name is Howard Cavalcante.

Howard Cavalcante

Cavalcante is a 20 year old SG who is a lock for lottery and is expected to go anyway in the Top 10 of the 2011 draft, most likely in the top few spots. This year's draft is devoid of many quality SG's and it is for this reason that teams needing a SG will not hesitate to jump on Cavalcante if he is still on the board.

Comparisons:
Best Case Scenario: Kobe Bryant
Worst Case Scenario: Ronnie Brewer
Most Likely Scenario: Dwayne Wade

Good luck. Play some games

AFRICA



It was basically a waste of the scout's time to head to Africa, and is rightly keep his stay short. Whilst the African players were big, they also had little to no NBA-level skills, and really could use a lot of schooling in college or in Europe. However, there is one prospect who could scrape into the bottom of the 1st Round. His name is Kris Ali

KRIS ALI

Ali definately has an NBA center's body at 6'11" and 260lbs. Ali is a huge project, but as the old basketball adage goes, 'you can't teach height'. NBA GM's hope that Ali can someday grow into a dependable big man who can be a force on the defensive end. I myself think they are dreaming, as he will be in 'n' out of the league without a couple of years.


Comparisons:
Best Case Scenario: Joakim Noah
Worst Case Scenario: Andrew Bynum
Most Likely Scenario: Andrew Bynum

January Summary

January was clearly a month to Remember as the Bulls won 12 of 17 games. At the half-way point in the season Bulls finds themselves have lost 2 of the last 2 games, and are on a 2 game skid at present and have a overall record of 32-15 which places them First in their division and 1st in the Eastern Conference. The 'Bulls playoff hopes were all Coming in the month of January.

Derrick Rose still remains the core of this young team, as he leads the team. As for position battles, Rose and Carlos Boozer are the only players to have started in every game. Ronnie Brewer and Keith Bogans continue to fight over the starting spot. Luol Deng has been a fixture in the starting lineup at SF for the last few games, but it is likely he will be dealt before the trading deadline to a contender. Omer Asik also continues to press Joakim Noah for the other front court starting spot 4.2rpg,

The team owner expressed to the GM Congratulations about the team's Status and as a result he has given him the green light to make the necessary moves to improve the squad.

Bulls' scouting staff did an extensive European scouting mission in early January, and found enough to time to scout some American college games in the Asia, including the prospective No. 1 pick in the 2005 Draft.

These scouting reports will be released in the next day or so. Also expect the team's Birdie Score breakdown through the 1st half of the season very soon.

Keep watching....

EUROPE

The scouts got over there New Year hangovers to catch up with some of Europe's top prospects. In reality, the scouts should have really just stayed in bed as this year's crop of European is probably the weakest in the last 5 years or so. There is only 4 locks for the 1st Round and 3 of them are Lurches. Let's just say this bunch of Europeans is more Frederic Weis rather than Dirk, Tony or Pau. Now that I've cleared this matter up it's time to check out the top Euro prospects for the draft

Pavle Vrancic



Vrancic is widely considered the best prospect available outside of the US. He will be selected somewhere in the middle of the lottery, and is not your typical European, as his game is more suited to the NBA than Europe. Scouts however have concerns with his body and all agree that he needs to hit the weight room to compete with bigger PF's. It is likely though that Vrancic will have to spend some time at SF as he is only 6'8".

Comparisons:
Best Case Scenario: Tyrus Thomas
Worst Case Scenario: Taj Gibson
Most Likely Scenario: Taj Gibson

Jasper Matei




Whilst still not that deep, Europe still managed to provide its usual share of raw big men. However, it was a PG who has NBA scouts buzzing. His name is Jasper Matei.

Jasper Matei

Matei is a 23 year old PG who is a lock for lottery and is expected to go anyway in the Top 10 of the 2005 draft, most likely in the top few spots. This year's draft is devoid of many quality PG's and it is for this reason that teams needing a PG will not hesitate to jump on Matei if he is still on the board.

Comparisons:
Best Case Scenario: Derrick Rose
Worst Case Scenario: John Wall
Most Likely Scenario: Rajon Rondo

Nach Dubois



Nach Dubois comes from strong NBA bloodline, and could possibly be the first senior taken in the 2005 NBA Draft. Dubois is a SF who doesn't mind doing the dirty work on the defensive end. He is well-schooled and should step in and help a team right away. He is expected to go in the mid-to-late lottery.

Comparisons:
Best Case Scenario: LeBron James
Worst Case Scenario: Ron Artest
Most Likely Scenario: LeBron James

Pics of the 1st Half Season



Derrick Rose has provided many Jump Shot highlights during the 1st half of the season. Whilst the team hasn't had too much to cheer about, you can't help but enjoy Derrick's endless array of Jump Shots.

Guys I can't seem to enter day 10 of the TUP 11 patch so the Dynasty will Kinda stop for a minute
