From DALLAS to ORLANDO! (NBA Live 06)

[skam]

well, i'm a little masochistic, i like to plow through the games as i its work-that's where i get my enjoyment, but honestly if that's what you think is going to make you update more often and keep going even longer-go for it!

[Marquis]

OK. I decided to inervene the game at the 4th quarter. And I have played some games already.

[Anthony15]

Here we go. I'm feeling a bit bored of NBA Live and don't have much time to play some games these days. But I really want to keep this Dyansty alive. So I thought I should simulate first 3 quarters and intervene the game at the 4th quarter. That would make the Dynasty going quicker and some more excitement for me. So what do you think, is this a good idea?

Thats what I do in my dynasty. It takes too much time to play all game and Your eyes hurt after u play this much. So switch to 4th qrtr intevention

MAGIC LOST ANOTHER GAME, NOW AGAINST CLIPPERS

November 10, 2007
Staples Center, Los Angeles



It was another bad game by Magic. The team can find their game in the 2nd game in a row.
Shaun Livingston was the biggest surprise at the Clippers, as Nelson was unable to stop him.
The whole team's defense was very poor, Clippers were hitting shot after shot.
It was poor game by Diaw, but our rookie Jahi Yates looks very promising.
He scored 18 points tonight from the bench and now averages 17 PPG.

93 : 109

NO O'NEAL, EASY VICTORY FOR THE MAGIC

November 23, 2007
Conseco Fieldhouse, Indiana



It was known before the game that Jermaine O'Neal won't play tonight.
And it was big factor for the Pacers. They were strugling without him.
So Magic celebrated the 1st victory in this road trip and 2nd in this season.
Dwight Howard had monsterous night with 21 points and 20 rebounds.
At Pacers Tinsley demostrated high quality game with 29 points, 7 rebs and 8 assists.
Peja added 25, but it wasn't enough for the Pacers.

MAGIC LOOK TIRED AT THE 4TH QUARTER AGAINST JAZZ

November 25, 2007
Delta Center, Utah



Magic had really high expectation in this game, but it turned into real disaster.
Only 12 points in the 4th quarter and very disappointing end of the game.
Carlos Boozer had really big game, scoring 29 points and having 12 rebounds.
There are only 3 players on the team, who are worth playing here.
Dwight Howard, Boris Diaw and Jahi Yates. Others need to think more about their game.
If the team strugle next month, we will probably see some new faces in Orlando.

80 : 105

PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Carlos Boozer: 29 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks.

[kibaxx7]

Ouch man hard road trip. Nice win over Pacers there.

[Jing]

sucks about the harsh roadtrip
looking at your picks reminded me to download the new deron williams body

[Cornerthree]

Not a very good start.

Great performance by Howard...

[hova-]

Some tough losses .... but Diaw and Howard are doin good.
Are you trailing when you intervene ? Seems to be pretty difficult

[Marquis]

Thanks for replies

hova-, In 3 games I was trailing. My team sucks at simulating, so it is hard to close the game.

NOVEMBER RECAP

C - Zydrunas Ilgauskas from Cleveland Cavaliers was anounced as the East Player of November.



PF - Dirk Nowitzki from Dallas Mavericks was anounced as the West Player of November.



C - Jared Hagan (2nd pick) from New Orleans Hornets was anounced as the West Rookie of November.



C- Luis Allen (18th pick) from Detroit Pistons was anounced as the East Rookie of November.



Here is Orlando Magic players' stats from 6 games.



Dwight Howard is the leading scorer of the team, also the leading rebounder.
Signed this summer Boris Diaw averaging 19 PPG, playing all around games.
Other starters are averaging less than 10 points per game.
Only rookie Jahi Yates comes from the bench with almost 16 PPG.
Jared Jeffries doesn't demonstrate good game, so he will probably go to the bench.
Who will play for the starting SF is not known.

[Its_asdf]

Boo.... Luis Allen beating out Yates?

Boris Diaw also leads your team in assists. That's quite amazing.

[Anthony15]

Boo.... Luis Allen beating out Yates?

Depends if your team is doing well or not.

Dwight Howard and Boris Diaw are having great season for Orlando! Keep it up!

[kibaxx7]

Wow, now that Bron is in Toronto, Zydrunas is stepping up: 34.8... nice.

[Marquis]

Boo.... Luis Allen beating out Yates?

Boris Diaw also leads your team in assists. That's quite amazing.

Yates seems is able only to shoot. His RPG and APG stats are reallly poor.
Nelson is struggling, so Diaw now is my leading passer.

Depends if your team is doing well or not.

Not really. Pistons are having almost the same record as Magic.

Wow, now that Bron is in Toronto, Zydrunas is stepping up: 34.8... nice.

Yeah, some weird and unrealistic stats by him. I was really surprised when I saw this.

[Cornerthree]

Nowitzki and Ilgauskas!

European players are starting to dominate...

[hova-]

Hmmm Dirks stats are weak, why did he get this award.
And Big Z is really stepping up, maybe fix his primacy rating if you dont like ihim to score that much.

Your rookie is really strong, I hope I will get back to my dynasty soon.

[vinageras]

Wow, I was missing your dynasty.
I think Marquis should play the 3 with Yates playing the 2, so Jeffries contributes from the bench.
Great games by Dwight and Boris!!
Nicely done.

[Ruff Ryder]

Dang man! I guess Z has to take over now that LeBron is gone. BTW, whats up with Boozers and Howard's butt-to-butt action up there?

[Marquis]

Nowitzki and Ilgauskas!

European players are starting to dominate...

Hm.. yeah. The stats by Big Z are really superb.

Hmmm Dirks stats are weak, why did he get this award.
And Big Z is really stepping up, maybe fix his primacy rating if you dont like ihim to score that much.

Your rookie is really strong, I hope I will get back to my dynasty soon.

I don't know why he got it, it is really strange thing. When I was averaging about 26 PPG and 9 PPG with him, he have never got this award. And now he gets it.
Maybe I really need to edit big Z primacy ratings.

Wow, I was missing your dynasty.
I think Marquis should play the 3 with Yates playing the 2, so Jeffries contributes from the bench.
Great games by Dwight and Boris!!
Nicely done.

I was thinking of Marquis playing the 3 and Yates the 2, but I don't know. Maybe I will need to try.

Dang man! I guess Z has to take over now that LeBron is gone. BTW, whats up with Boozers and Howard's butt-to-butt action up there?

Haha. Strange things happen in the game. Actually he was rebounding the ball.

[Mark.]

4th Q intervene is cool, i only play whole games when i have the time, Awesome that Diaw is playing as your lead passer, hopefully Jameer can sort out his troubles

[Shing]

Cool multiple recaps man. That ass-ass pic with Boozer and Dwight is funny I'm surprised how well Boris Diaw is performing!

If u want me to fix primacy ratings for you u could email me your players.dbf if u want. I always reset Kobe, Lebron and Wade to 99. But it's often the case that Yao Ming and Big Z have 90 ratings :s Mike Dunleavy too

[Marquis]

Shing, if I see really dumb stats in the next month, i will email you it.

MAGIC GOT EASY VICTORY AGAINST LOSING BUCKS

December 05, 2007
TD Waterhouse Center, Orlando



Orlando Magic won against Milwaukee Bucks, which are having 0-6 record at the moment.
It was easy 4th quarter, in which Dwight Howard shined, stopping Bogut and other bucks.
He honored the player of the game title with 32 points and 11 rebounds.
Tonight Boris Diaw was unbelievable with boards, he had 20 rebounds.
The best player at opposite team was sophomore Ira Clayton, really shining in this game.
He had 25 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, almost tripple double.
Finally Jameer Nelson showed some stuff in this game, scoring 16 points and dishing 11 assists.
Magic was very poor at 3 pointers this night, but it was not the factor for the win.

NO T-MAC, BUT SURA KILLS MAGIC

December 12, 2007
Toyota Center, Houston



After the victory over struggling Bucks, Magic travelled to Texas, to meet Houston Rockets.
Rockets didn't have McGrady in their roster, as he was injured in previous game.
But the game for the Magic was really hard. It was very poor 2nd quarter and the winner was almost decided.
We weren't able to close the lead at the 4th quarter, when Bob Sura showed almost miracles in the game.
This guy had 30 points, storming in the 4th quarter. He also added 5 rebounds and 5 assists to his stats.
Dwight again was the best player on the team with 25 points and 13 rebounds.
Next game will probably bring some necessary changes in the Orlando Magic lineup.
Jared Jeffries really sruggling lately and Marquis Daniels doesn't show wanted game.
The next game will be against Oklahoma City Hornets on the road.

94 : 109
