X's Blazers Dynasty (NBA Live 06)

by **The X** on Mon May 15, 2006 9:07 pm

BLAZING TRAIL TO THE PLAYOFFS

APRIL 24

LA Lakers 132 at Miami 93

The Lakers finally are gelling as they move one win away from clinching the Pacific Division as their starters dominated the Heat.

APRIL 25

Denver 95 vs Seattle 97

A Ray Allen 3pter on the buzzer stole another opportunity for the Nuggets to clinch the Northwest Division title & leave the door open for the Blazers.

APRIL 29

Denver 87 at Boston 102

The Nuggets lost their 4th straight game & their 8th out of their past 9 games to fail to clinch the division & an automatic number 3 seed, & instead fall to the number 8 seed & a 1st Rd matchup with the Spurs. The benefactor was the Portland Trailblazers who were virtually handed the division, not that they're complaining. The difference in this game was the Celtics wanted it more. For the 2nd straight game , the Celtics rallied behind rarely used rookie PG Mark Moore, who is starting for an injured Marcus Banks, as the Celtics secured the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.

Playoff Picture

The Portland Trailblazers sealed the Northwest Division & the number 3 seed out West. Let's see if they use their good fortune well.

2. LA Lakers 17-12
3. Portland 15-14
...
6. Phoenix 17-12
...
8. Denver 14-13
-----------------------------
9. Sacramento 14-15
10. Utah 14-15

Hell yeah, the trailblazers are going to the play-offs :headbang:

Hopefully the Blazers can shutdown the big 3 of Phoenix.

APRIL '07 PICKS:

Sorry guys, Utah actually only had 3 games (they went 2-1)....so I'm gonna take anyone who picked 1-3 as picking 1-2 so they get half a point instead of none....the people who picked 2-2 I'll grant that as a 2-1....sorry guys....

I really hope that the 07 draft class scouting reports will be up soon, but I know you're heaps more busy nowadays.

I can still hope

yeah, I'm fighting a lot of things at the mo, including sanity

I've dbf-ed most things, just gotta find some pics, add cyberfaces, crop a bit, paste crap, etc....then find the time :roll:

although I'm starting to realise that I'm going to seriously have to change my recaps, summaries etc during seasons to keep this one rolling....maybe just concentrate on random aspects, who knows....

I've got a feeling I might go next-gen next year, so we'll have to see what happens then....but that's a long way away....

by **Mark.** on Mon May 15, 2006 11:17 pm

Well X, looks like you owe me one

, that must be worht some bonus points

Good to see you in such good position to take a good stab at the playoffs (Y)

by **pHLo** on Tue May 16, 2006 7:28 am

aaah damn...
i'm too late =(

anyway... i hope this will count (i haven't looked up any box scores, i promise)

EPOM: Carter
WPOM: Garnett
EROM: Gay
WROM: Dehere

i hope i'll be able to check your dynasty more often ovr the next few days/weeks had very little time because of way too many exams

2 exams a week during the last 3 weeks (N)

i have to study all day long, it sucks

ok... i'll stop whining and complaining now, but this is my only explanation why i didn't make it on time :/

i hope that u'll rock the playoffs

of course I remember you Micchy, you & Mafia had the best NLSC dynasties for Live '05....I thought you had fallen off the face of the Earth....good to see you haven't :lol:

hope you can pop in every now & then :wink:

Fighting Irish jerseys finally arrived, check them out

as for this dynasty, it's in limbo at the moment....I have a big exam 4 weeks from today & haven't done the work I needed to....if I fail it, it's $1,000 down the drain, so I don't plan too....I've finished rating all the 2007 Draft Class prospects, although I have no real desire to make updates at the moment....what I might do is play on with the dynasty & just have random recaps to fill people in....I'll also probably be getting an XBox 360 & NBA2k6 (which I've heard is great) so I'll most likely start up a dynasty on that....would like to keep this one going, just more like Honor Glow's 2004 Lakers' dynasty....

cheers, & let me know what you think of the 'Fighting Irish' jerseys :cool:

by **Mark.** on Tue May 23, 2006 3:50 pm

Nice jersey's dude, they look very pro (Y)

Hope you keep this running, even if they are updates only now and again (Y)

Let me know when you start a dynasty on 2k6, id been keen to follow that

will do....as for the jerseys, they must be US sizes as they're quite large....I ordered myself a XL (also order a L just in case)....I'm normally between both sizes IRL, but L is perfect fit for me....as for a lot of the other guys, most of them ordered Large to be on the safe side, so they'll be too big for them :lol:

by **Mark.** on Tue May 23, 2006 3:58 pm

haha damn US sizing

Dude you should make a thread where you give recaps of your Fighting Irish Games (Y)

I dunno, I already think the amount of coverage I give it seems a bit on the pretentious side....any more might be taking it a tad too far :lol:

btw, we don't have a game tomorrow night as State of Origin is on....our bball competition wisely schedules the Origin into the season as they realise there would be a lot of no-shows otherwise....

btw, go Crusaders :cool:
