Well I'm starting a new dynasty with Cleveland.

My roster:

Starting 5:

C-Z. Ilgauskas
PF-D. Gooden
SF-L. James
SG-L. Hughes
PG-T. Vileisis

Substitutes:

PF-D. Marshall
C-D. Songaila
SG-A. Pavlovic
SF-C. Williamson
PG-D. Jones
PF-M. Andriuskevicius
PG-M. Wilks

Right after I started my dynasty, I traded L. Jackson, I. Newble and S. Graham for C. Williamson.

I also created a young Lithuanian PG T. Vileisis.

I play on superstar level, 7 minutes quarter, 12 minutes sim quarter, 50 fatigue and ect.

I will write about my first game shortly.

The first game was against New Orleans at home. The Hornets started the game better and won the first quarter 28-19. In the second quarter the Cavaliers were able to narrow the deficit to 2, and heading into the break 50-52, the Hornets led.

Image C. Paul shoot a tuff one over M. Andriuskevicius.

The stat of the half-The Hornets led in rebounds 23-13. That was the reason why they were ahead.

The player of the half:
L. James-14 points(5/6 field goals), 4 rebounds.

Coaches thoughts at the half: "You just can't give them so many offensive rebounds. If our bigmen won't do a better job on the glass in the second half, we won't win".

In the third quarter Cleveland were able to prove that they are a better team and were leading after the third quarter 73-68. It was a very intence fourth quarter, no tema managed to get a bigger lead, until, in the end, A. Pavlovic hit a three pointer to give the Cavs a 4 point lead(101-97) with only 20 seconds remaining. Then New Orleans hit a quick three pointer and fouled T. Vileisis, who hit both free frows. After that the Hornets failed to score, once again fouled T. Vileisis and he hit another two clutch free frows.

FINAL SCORE:

Thoughts after the game: "We were able to take control of the game in the second half and get a hard win, whitch is important for us".

The surprises of the game:
T. Vileisis had a very solid performance, esspecialy for a 17 year old, with 10 points and 10 assists.
Also, the other Lithuanian youngster, M. Andriuskevicius, had a very solid performance, coming out just for a couple of minutes, he managed to score 6 points, all of them were rimshaking dunks, and he didn't miss a shot.

The dissapointmen of the game:
L. Hughes, he scored only 8 points, and shot in a terrible percentage(2/11 FG, 0/5 3p).

The Cavaliers, after beating the Hornets at home 105-100, now face the defending champions Spurs in San Antonio.

Image

The game started even, as both teams hit their first 6 shots. After the quarter the Spurs led by two 24-22.

Image

Image

The second quarter started better for the Spurs, they began to defend very well, and managed to get a 10 point lead heading into the break (49:39).

The stat of the half: the Cavaliers were losing, despite getting much more rebounds. Cavaliers led in this category 30:20 after the first 2 quarters.

Coaches thoughts at the half: "I don't know what is wrong with our offense. It's static, we try to get an open shot for 20 seconds, and then shoot a terrible shot. The defense is acceptable, cause the Spurs hit some hard shots and therefore have the lead. We must get our offense back to rythm if we wan't to win this game."

The Cavaliers started the third quarter well, and after some points from Ilgauskas and James, narrowed the deficit to 4 points (49:45), but then Ginobilli hit 11 in a row points, to give the Spurs a 11 point lead (60:49). The quarter ended with the Spurs leading 75:66.

Image

In the final quarter there was a battle toe to toe, as the Cavs managed to equal the score quickly, and then everything came down to the last secondes of the quarter. The Spurs had a 2 point lead (97:95), but L. James hit a mid-range jumper to tie the game with 2 seconds remaining. The Spurs couldn't score, so the game went to overtime.

In overtime the Cavaliers played better and led most of the time, but the Spurs managed to hit some tuff shots on the and and even took a lead with only 4 seconds remaining. Then the Cavs called a timeout. The ball was inbounded to Lebron, he quickly passed it to Ilgauskas, and he hit the shot over Duncan to give Cleveland a 1 point lead, with only 0.8 seconds remaining. Nesterovic missed from half court so the Cavaliers got their second in a row win.

Thoughts after the game: "I'm defenetely not happy with the way we played, but we got a win over the NBA champions in their court, so I have to be happy with the result".

The surprises of the game:

D. Jones came of the banch, but managed to score 12 points, 9 of them in the fourth quarter comeback.

The dissapointment of the game:

L. Hughes was once again a selfish player. He shot very oftenly, but just a few shots made.
