International Dinasty

I have started a Dinasty with the Boston Celtics, but i have done a Fantasy Draft and only picked international players. I'm playing 9 minute quarters in Superstar with Andrew sliders. Since it's impossible to pick the 12 best international players, the final roster is:

C- Ilgasukas
PF- Nene
SF- Nowitzki
SG- Jaric
PG- Nash

Bench:
Giricek
Radmanovic
Cabarkapa
Lopez
Pavlovic
Najera
Moiso

I had to change Dirk from PF to SF and Jaric from PG to SG because I couldn't draft good international players like Ginobili, Kukoc, Welsh or Stojakovic.

First Game Miami @ Boston
I won this game 99-85. At the beginning I didn't know how to play with this lineup. Rasheed Wallace was unstoppable (finished with 37) and Nowitzki and Nash couldnt score. Only Jaric was scoring fluently and I reached the halftime down by 5 with less than 40%FG.
In the second half Nowitzki woke up, Nash started to dish assists and Giricek did great off the bench. I improved my defense and the fourth quarter was easy.
MVP: Nowitzki, 20 points
Giricek: 16 points in 15 minutes.

I'm thinking of moving Dirk to PF since he has trouble defending SF. I could trade Nene or Radmanovic for some good SF like Kukoc.

It happened the same as with Kirilenko, Gasol and others: I'm not the only team in the draft and the other franchises don't leave the international players for me :wink:

I traded Nene and Najera for Stojakovic and moved Nowitzki to PF (an unreal trade, I know).
My next game was at Memphis, who beated me 100-94. It was a bad game, Nash shot 1-12 and Jaric 2-13. Only Stojakovic and Giricek (3/3 3 pt) played well. In the Grizzlies, Gasol (20-8) and Ray Allen (25 points) were the best players.
I've noticed that my players are really slow. This is really annoying in fast breaks, where Jaric and Stokajovic always run behind the opponent man.

Third game at New Orleans. 95-67. An easy game as the team seems to be playing much better now. Boston played a Sacramento-like basketball, with many passes and open shots. Stojakovic lead all scorers with 20 points and Ilgauskas was the POTG with 14-15. Jaric shot very bad another night but he stopped Bryant, who only shot 4/14. The surprise of the game was Lynch, who shot 1/11 3 pt, I had never seen something like this :shock:
