A Rebuild In Progress

[mfbmike]

Rumor Mill:

Report: Tayshaun doesn't want trade
- Prince to Trail Blazers? Unlikely

Injuries:

The league office just received a fax from the Nets claiming that Chris Douglas-Roberts has suffered a Severe Ankle Sprain. They are expecting him to be out 2-4 weeks.

It looks like a bit of tough luck for the Nuggets who just sent a memo to the league office that Kenyon Martin is to be out for 1-2 weeks after picking up a Separated Shoulder injury.

Player Of The Game:

Kevin Garnett

Quote Of The Game:
"Most games are won in the 4th quarter and tonight was no different. Our guys were confident after heading to the sidelines with the lead after the 3rd. But they came at us hard in the 4th and proved why they are one of the toughest teams in the league." - Wolves Head Coach Kurt Rambis

Johnny Flynn is the shit on this game. Chise is looking great MIke, lol @ Ray Allen wanting a new contract, the 3rd man never gets a say so.

Yeah, I like him. Aside from the 6 turnover showing in this past game against the Celts :irked:, he's played well. Not sure if he's ready for the starting job just yet though.

I dont get how you have trade rumors already and your only 4 games into the season lol

You have CPU trading on? Any player that gets added to the trade block ends up in the rumor mill. lol. Just check it before asking me dumb questions!

 

[mike3]

Garnett looked hard to stop but good win against the Clippers, nice shooting from Ellington in that game

 

[Len B]

Makes sense that KG pulled out his A+ game against you. I hope you're falling in love with Al Jefferson by now... he's my second favorite player in the NBA.

 

[Vinsane]

Sessions, so close to a trip/dub. Not saying he needs to get those rebounds, that's him cleaning up somebody Else's mess.

i hope the servers are up soon

You know KG is gonna come hard whenever he comes to Target Center. That game was no different. He was all over the place.

As far as Ellington goes, I wish I could find more consistency with him.

Sessions, so close to a trip/dub. Not saying he needs to get those rebounds, that's him cleaning up somebody Else's mess.

lol, I didn't even realize he had so many boards until the game was over. Or assists for that matter. Sheed and KG aren't exactly the easiest duo to box out. Sessions was coming in and snatching boards since Al and Love were having trouble. lol.

 

[mfbmike]

Celtics, for whatever reason, are one of the easier teams to beat when it comes to playing the CPU for some reason. It was a good game though, that's for sure. Kept Paul Pierce in foul trouble for a majority of the game which really helped my chances.

Player Of The Game:

Al Jefferson

Quote Of The Game:
"We were in the same position the Celtics were in just a couple nights ago. Down by 3 heading into the 4th. Coach wanted to give me a breather about halfway through the quarter. I asked him to leave me in the game, that I didn't want this one to slip away. We have a day off tomorrow. I can rest then." - Al Jefferson

:irked:

Taken me ages to catch up on this one.... but thats not a bad thing, ive lost best part of my working afternoon doing nothing but reading up in here!

Looks like alot of hard work has gone into this both in and out of the game, now all I need is for you to put up another 10 pages of posts to sink my head into .... do you have time

Glad you like it man. Updates would've been up sooner but I was hoping the 2k servers would be up soon. Unfortunately, doesn't look that is going to happen and I've grown tired of waiting.

:bow: Prince in Portland!?

Yep, looks like Andre Miller's tenure in Portland lasted what, 6 games? :jonesy:

hopefully you can sneak into them playoffs this year and surprise everyoneeee

Wishful thinking. lol. I've had a relatively easy schedule so far. Wins against the Nets, Clippers, Bucks.
