Bobcats In The Sun: The Charlotte Bobcats - IT'S OVER

[rise]

I've decided it is going to take too long to write big reviews of each match. I'm going to start recapping a few games at a time.

RECAPS

CHA def. MIL 115-109

TEAM BESTS:
Walter Herrmann - 29 points (11-13 from the field), 8 blocks, 5 rebounds.
Maurice Ager - 24 points (12-15 from the field) and 3 assists.

notes:
-best game for CHA from free-throw line: 27-29 FT% (91.3%)
-Maurice Ager's debut in Milwaukee. Was Milwaukee's top scorer
-CHA: blocked 26 shots - MIL: blocked 2 shots
-Milwaukee was down by 24 at halftime, but were only two down at the beginning of 4th quarter after outscoring CHA 31-9 in the 3rd. Maurice Ager and Andrew Bogut were to blame.

ENORMOUS TRADES
-Signed Hilton Armstrong, Robert Swift, and Sean Singletary for trading purposes.

-Five team blockbuster trade:
-------Milwaukee Bucks get: Donte' Greene, Brandon Jennings, Josh Powell, and Marquis Daniels
-------Houston Rockets get: Maurice Ager, Hilton Armstrong, Hakim Warrick, Ersan Ilyasova, and Sean Singletary
-------Indiana Pacers get: DJ Mbenga, Sonny Weems, and Robert Swift
-------LA Lakers get: Brent Barry, Jerry Stackhouse, Travis Diener, and Chuck Hayes
-------Charlotte Bobcats get: Adam Morrison, James White, and Lamar Odom

Notes:
-19 players were involved in this enormous blockbuster trade that was to make Lamar Odom go to Charlotte and Jerry Stackhouse go to LA. It was also a good chance for Brandon Jennings and Marquis Daniels to leave Charlotte and for Robert Swift to actually get a team. Unfortunately for him, two days later, he would be waived by Indiana and become team-less again.

ORL def. CHA 147-132 in Overtime

TOP SCORERS:
Jason Richardson:43
Vince Carter:41
Jameer Nelson:30
Mickael Pietrus:20
Raymond Felton and Stephen Jackson:17

Notes:
-Orlando led the entire game, but Charlotte tied the score for the first time with 3 minutes left in regulation, but never took the lead.
-Neither Charlotte center was able to score a point. Instead, Desagana Diop blocked 7 shots and dished 9 assists and Tyson Chandler grabbed 16 boards.
-Jameer Nelson, JJ Reddick, and Raymond Felton all dished exactly 17 assists.
-Charlotte failed to score a single field goal in the four minute OT: all they got were four foul shots. Felton made all of them.
-Orlando's back-up center Raef LaFrentz had a quiet double-double with 11 points and 10 assists. He also grabbed seven rebounds.

My poor Rockets. At least you get a guy with an epic 'stache in Adam Morrison! Your OT loss against the Magic probably makes you hate them more.

Your OT loss against the Magic probably makes you hate them more.

More than I already do in real life??? Hell, no. Not a chance. Besides I was lucky not to get blown out ,let alone tie the score.

At least you get a guy with an epic 'stache in Adam Morrison!

Yeah, he plays OK, but I think he's going to end up being a reserve.

My poor Rockets.

Sorry, but trading is kind of ridiculous in Live 2003. This is the end result of about 6 or 7 different trades- all to get Lamar Odom. He plays surprisingly well at PG.

[Murat]

Which roster you are using?

[Axel The Great]

all to get Lamar Odom. He plays surprisingly well at PG.

In my Rockets dynasty, the 'Cats play Stephen Jackson as PF, and he is 5th in the MVP Candidates.

Yeah, I saw you mention it somewhere else, and I've thought about trying that, but I want to give Walter Herrmann and Boris Diaw good minutes at PF, because they are complete beasts in my Live 2003 rosters.

Which roster you are using?

TRU09 with very minor tweaks. I'm creating rosters for next season right now and need help with rookie's ratings. Feel like helping me out??? Once the 2011 season starts, I'll be doing a Miami Heat franchise, which will be fun.

Charlotte Picks Up Shaun Livingston and Dominic McGuire
Shaun Livingston, a 6'7 point guard is still recovering from a pretty much destroyed knee, but is finally set to play. Charlotte signed him on the spot for the remainder of the season for 500K. He will wear the #18 jersey.
Dominic McGuire, a 6'9 SF/PF will also sign with Charlotte with the same one-year minimum contract. His #5 is being used by Walter Herrmann, an unexpected star, so he will wear the #8.

[rise]

I've shuffled around a lot of my players (within CHA and PHO) and simmed a bunch of games. Lamar Odom's gone to Phoenix to balance things out.
ALSO THE ALL-STAR GAME IS APPROACHING. STAY TUNED.

Charlotte Gets Revenge And Kills Orlando On The Road
116-99. Jason Richardson, virtually nonexistent in the first half, came back for Charlotte and scored 32 points in the second half. Tyson Chandler stepped up to the challenge and shut down Dwight Howard, holding Superman to a mere 9 points and 6 rebounds. Walter Herrmann and Stephen Jackson brought down 13 boards each. Boris Diaw scored exactly 4 in points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks from off the bench. Gerald Wallace blocked more shots than the entire opposing team. All these individual efforts won this game against Orlando.
