HonorGlow's Ongoing LAKER Dynasty (NBA Live 2004)

O_O

I love you. Marry me? :shock:

This is real good, the crazy thing is I hadn't looked at this since like back in 04 when you first started.

by **HonorGlow** on Sun Mar 05, 2006 7:39 am

Thanks for all your compliments! I just started getting back into the Dynasty so things are progressing. Usually, I wait for somebody to
provide me a 2004 pstat and then I go, "Wait...oh yeh I have my own dynasty to attend to!"

Season 2019-20 preview:

This is Serge Hoyle...has more hops than Nate Robinson...and only 5'3"

Rookie Rashidi Lawson is Hoyle's atheletic and reliable back-up.
So reliable that I decided to give up two of my front court starters...
...I know there's no logic in that.

Aren't these the most heinous home colors you've seen?!?!
(This is what happens when you indicate to the database that there's
a customized jersey but really there isn't)

sweet....am interested to see a quick synopsis on my Nuggets :wink:

by **H Rock** on Sun Mar 05, 2006 8:24 pm

You seem to have a lot of short guys on your team. Nice jerseys, too. :lol:

by **HonorGlow** on Tue Mar 07, 2006 6:32 pm

Actually, Hoyle is my only short guy...I found out the obiously real quick...

...short guys get their shots blocked.

Stay tune for my bi-yearly update!

by **H Rock** on Tue Mar 07, 2006 6:35 pm

By the way, do you still play every game in your 82-game season?

by **The X** on Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:03 pm

sorry to be a pest, but how's my Nuggets going?!? :wink:

by **HonorGlow** on Thu Mar 09, 2006 4:13 pm

The 2019-20 Regular Season Homestretch:
6. The X's Denver Nuggets -> 41-34
8. Honor Glow's L.A. Lakers -> 39-36
11. Negative One's San Antonio Spurs -> 34-40

So if the playoffs started today, The X, I wouldn't see Kwesi Wilkinson's team until the Western Conference finals...I'll make sure that I keep you informed!

Negative One, since I just got your dbf today, it seems like I won't be facing you the rest of the regular season and unless your team makes a strong push, neither the playoffs

but I'll 'try' to get an update in.

Just to note, Negative One, I only put in generated rookies onto/from your respective team as most of the real player holdovers, probably would have retired by now!

shit man this is very cool

by **H Rock** on Thu Mar 09, 2006 11:26 pm

Cool. How is my man Kurt Walker doing? You know, by the way, that he's rated 93 for threes, which ispretty good considering he was only rated 43 when I drafted him.

(It took a lot of training sessions to get him to 93. Like 20).

by **HonorGlow** on Fri Mar 10, 2006 1:16 am

Negative One wrote:Cool. How is my man [ur=Kurt Walker doing?

Well, I definiitely will let you know as soon as he's put into the game..BUT again, I need that roster list of your team....this way I don't make mistakes and put people in that aren't supposed to be there...

by **The X** on Fri Mar 10, 2006 8:48 pm

yep, gotta luv Kwesi....thanks for the update :wink:

by **HonorGlow** on Sat Mar 11, 2006 7:37 am

The X wrote:yep, gotta luv Kwesi....thanks for the update

I also have Cosmo Farrell in your starting Lineup so I'm looking forward to us underdogs getting by the first round! We're currently seeded 6th and 7th and that could be swapped by tonight if I win my game against Indiana!

Negative One I got your roster thank you! I'm looking forward to switching over the Spurs to a roster that has some emotional attachment to somebody!

by **The X** on Sat Mar 11, 2006 10:03 am

damn, Cosmo Farrell....that's a name I haven't heard for a while....I traded for him & Dwayne Wade....he was super athletic & had great potential....never thought he would beat out Cuba Quaid, but doesn't surprise me at all....

by **HonorGlow** on Sat Mar 11, 2006 5:43 pm

Yeh, Cuba Quaid is at the 11th slot of your roster. I'll give you a rundown after their first playoff game!

The proficiency breakdown->

I eventually ended the season at 43-39 just one game under the Denver Nuggets who ends up with the 6th spot for the Western Conference playoff bracketing. I also tied the 7th spot with Sacraento but because of a regular season tie-breaker, they were bumped to the 8th spot.

Too much excitement, find the result of Game 1 of the playoffs soon!

by **HonorGlow** on Mon Mar 13, 2006 6:50 am

Ernie Johnson:...and welcome back to TNT's coverage of the 2020 NBA Playoffs, I'm Ernie Johnson and I hope you're enjoying the first half of Game 1 of the the Western Conference Semi-finals as the Denver Nuggets host the Los Angeles Lakers. As most of you know, I will be retiring after this season after 44 seasons of broadcasting. So, it is my delight to have with me in the Studio, The X, current General Manager of the Portland Trailblazers and former GM of the Denver Nuggets. Alongside him is long-time General Manager for the Los Angeles Lakers and shooting guard for the New Jersey Nets, Honor Glow. Please to have you gentleman in the studio today.

Honor Glow: It's our pleasure...well, as The X's former team seems to be manhandling my own, I guess it's more The X's pleasure!

The X: Ha!

Ernie Johnson: It all started when you drafted the shooting guard Wilkinson back in 2005. And, although they have a new starting line-up surrounding him nowadays, it all revolves around him. Can you tell us a little how you landed Kwesi?

The X: Ahhh, Kwesi Wilkinson, 6'5", 206lbs- here's a guy who I wanted and got....he was a sensational SG which is just what my Nuggets' team needed....I looked him up when his rookie contract ended....made All-Star team once during my tenure with the Nuggets...

Honor Glow: I hate that fricken floating jumper of his. Kept our coaching staff up late at night!
The X: Ha!

Ernie Johnson: Speaking of anamolies, this series boasts the leagues smallest Point Guard match-up with Segei Hoyle giving up 3 inches to Jamie Sanderson. As both of them are little Nate Robinsons, this is really worth the price of admission!

Honor Glow: My Lakers are worth the price of admission alone...
The X: Ha!

Honor Glow: But I really think the key to the series is how we contain Jamie Sanderson wonder-sub, Conrad Everett. Once the combo-guard hits the open floor, as we saw in the first half, there's not much you can do.

The X: Ahh, Conrad Everett, 6'7", 206lbs, (21st pick of 2006 Draft by Phoenix) I acquired him via a trade a few years into his career....this athletic lefty reminded me of a young, Bobby Sura....athletic, good handles, combo guard, and fun to run with....a nice player to have on the bench....
Honor Glow: ...so we've noticed.
The X: Ha! ...Ha!

Ernie Johnson: Well, Honor Glow, I noticed in the first half that L.A. decided to start Rookie Eisley at Center instead of Laker mainstay and All-Star great Thomas Goldberg. Although, you're not part of the coaching staff, I was wondering about the strategy in this?

Honor Glow: Mainly, is that Eisley has something to prove still and can provide that youthful Energy against Denver's running game. With Tommie being in his 16th year in the league and receiving all the accollades of success, it's been harder and harder for him to keep his head in the game...in amongst other things.
The X: Kind of like you...minus the accollades.
Honor Glow: You know, I never liked you as a player...and if you don't shut that trap of yours, The X, Portland may have find a new GM as their current one is going to end up in the hospital!
The X: Ha!

Ernie Johnson: Okay, gentleman, too much love! The X, because of some previous playoff disappointments, current Nugget management had to bring in some playoff tested veterans in Votwe Bagwell, Ivan Carter, and Abrahm Gabler, but pretty much, the team that you assembled back in the day, is still intact? Can you do a quick run-down back in memory lane and your thoughts? I'm pretty sure you still have quite a connect with these players....

The X: Ah yes, my small forward, Caleb Chandler, 6'7", 216lbs, (20th pick of 2007 Draft by LA Clippers) - I acquired him via a trade with Miami in the Dwayn Wade deal I believe....Chandler was a typical Clippers' draft pick....super-talented offensive player who never lived up to his hype....was the same when he played with my Nuggets....

The X: Cuba Quaid, 6'11", 264lbs, (11th pick of 2006 Draft by Denver) - he was a big man with good physical tools who after being a solid contributor eventually got re-signed based on his potential and became my starting center....

The X: PF- Jon Wright(pictured on the right), 6'8", 228lbs, (24th pick of 2004 Draft by Denver) - he's a guy who sat for a few years and eventually became my starting PF with his hustle and heart....never had a great deal of talent as he was a projected 2nd Rounder that I took a stab on....
The X: C- Cosmo Farrell, 6'11", 272lbs, (14th pick of 2010 Draft by Denver) - with a name like Cosmo, how could you not like him? Cosmo is an athletic big, who's a ferocious dunker, big-time shot blocker and a power on the boards....anything else is non-existent in his game....backup big man with potential....
Honor Glow: From what we saw in the first half, this guy should be starting...he's quite the monster on the boards!

The X: PG- Felton Lindow, 6'2", 189lbs, (1st pick of 2008 Draft by Denver) - Nuggets lucked out when we won the lottery....was superb as a rookie in the playoffs as he was NBA Finals MVP on the Nuggets' way to their 1st of 2 titles of the decade....had a solid sophomore year, but was never the same after that and never developed as many had expected...

Ernie Johnson: Yes, that was a sad situation, but most people in the world can't even boast that much. Speaking of NBA Finals MVPs, it's quite the NBA feel good story, with Theobald Goode coming back from his 81 game injury.

Honor Glow: Yes, we didn't even know if he'd ever play again, much less be available this season...it was a bit of a mixed blessing...we really did a mini-overhaul as we had to say goodbye to (Isaiah) Oakley and (Kojo) Dent but we're able to bring in the likes of ultra quick Hubert Abraham and Eisley who we feel we can develop into Goldberg's full-time replacement in a year or two.

Ernie Johnson: Well, that's all the time we have and we wish you well there in Portland and you Honor Glow, as you wind down your playing career in New Jersey and into Thank you gentlemen for joining us. Enjoy the second half!

[the Lakers win Game one: 127-126] ...more stats in a bit!

by **Jing** on Mon Mar 13, 2006 6:55 am

lol nice man nice. but where is X/ lol
or is he coach?

by **The X** on Mon Mar 13, 2006 11:48 am

no, The X accidently got automatically deleted by my dynasty when I didn't re-sign him straight away, really broke my heart :cry:

as for the recap, cheers for that Honor, really brought a big smile to my ugly mug

& almost a tear to my eye as well, almost....I really think I get too attached to my previous dynasties :shifty:

was great to see that both teams advanced, even though it was very unlikely as we were 6th & 7th seeds....looking foward to the recap, looks like you stole one in Mile High City, big win for you guys it seems

it's only fitting that our teams meet somewhere in the playoffs in your last season of your dynasty

if anyone wonders, those words that I'm saying to Ernie are actually my own words, with the exception of the occasional "Ha!" :lol:

I've loving how Kwesi Wilkinson became the man....he was No. 2 behind Melo when my dynasty ended, & it's good to see that he still plays the same....gotta luv Conrad Everett, a definite crowd favourite with his Eminem-type looks....Jon Wright is also a huge favourite, as a guy who I drafted with ratings in the high 40s or low 50s, he sat for his entire rookie contract but showed a little later & I re-signed him....he turned into my Antonio Davis, my hard guy....this was a guy who eventually spelled the end of Nene's tenure in Denver

looking forward to the game recaps, I'm hoping the Nuggets can give you a good series....if game 1 is anything to go by, then it definitely will be.....

by **HonorGlow** on Mon Mar 13, 2006 2:11 pm

Well...right now, I'm playing game 7 as of the time of this post! So, yes Denver has taken me to limits! Winning the games 3 through 5 before I sucked it up and took control of Game 6 towards the end of the game! Little point guard Sanderson has given me fits ever since he entered the league...and I'm just have a tough time containing Everett once he controls the open floor...nobody on that Nuggets team are brave outside shooters...unless there's 3 seconds left on the clock and then all of a sudden, they're all 3 point specialist!

Game 7 wrap up coming up!

by **H Rock** on Mon Mar 13, 2006 3:41 pm

Eagerly awaiting the recap.

I hope my Spurs do better next year.

by **The X** on Mon Mar 13, 2006 5:53 pm

yeah, go Conrad :cool:

Mile High City has become Clutch City :cool:

by **HonorGlow** on Thu Mar 16, 2006 7:39 am

Unfortunately, you're going to hate me, as now I'm a bit farther into my Dynasty! But yes, the series went to 7 games... which brought the series back to Denver. BUT for some reason, the Nuggets collapsed in the forth quarter and L.A. went on to win the series.

HOWEVER, L.A. in turn collapsed in the next series against M.Lampe's Grizzlies and got swept 0-4! Indiana ended up winning the NBA Finals 4 games to 1.

The Draft:
Hubert Abraham decided to rejoin Toronto leaving a space on the Laker roster. With the 6th pick in the draft(from Miami), I ended up trading up and landed New Orlean's 1st pick in the draft, Small Forward Gordon Owens...handsome young bloke...so you'll see him soon enough in my sporadic recaps.

To The X and Negative One:
I don't play you guys until December, so I'll make sure that your rosters are set before that so you get to see your genomes in action again! Please let me know if there are certain players you want me to focus or whatever suggestions and I'll make sure they get implemented!

by **The X** on Thu Mar 16, 2006 11:34 am

we collapsed :cry:

ahh well, I guess our series took it out of you guys for the next one :wink:

by **Jing** on Thu Mar 16, 2006 11:39 am

hey... i wanna get in on this any chance? i though you were done with 04 already honor
