Summary
1st Quarter The pistons came out playing up tempo basketball on the defensive end forcing continuous turnover as they jumped out to a quick 12-7 lead. At this stage the Nets where being forced to foul the pistons so they weren’t getting simple lay-ups but Howard and Hamilton where proving too hard of a task to contain. The nets momentarily hit back as they where playing great defence but dirk Nowitzki was proving too hard of a task to stop. The pistons although hit a road block as the nets found the momentum swing in there favour and reduced it back to a 4 point game [18-14]. Although this was short lived as the pistons rampaged on the break and got out to a 23-14 lead. As the game looked like it was in the pistons control New Jersey went on a strenuous and sharp run and got back to 18-26. Although as the last few minutes of the quarter progressed Detroit finished of strong and had a final 1st quarter score line of 31-23.
2nd Quarter In the second New Jersey got of to a horrible start first getting a 3 second violation called on them, then giving up three consecutive dunks on the break to Josh Howard. Although Vince Carter ensured it stopped there as he sunk a clutch three. But the pistons quickly went back to work and extended there lead to 13 [41-28]. Although this just fired up Kidd as he dished out an Alley-oop and then laid one in to put them back within 8. The nets then pushed again and the crowd where silenced as they drew back to 5. Although the pistons then found a rhythm and took the lead out to 44-35. But this was short lived a new jersey got back within 5 with just 30 second to go. But the pistons had a late spur and the Nets trailed by 7 points [44-51]
Players at the half
Detroit Chauncey Billups 13 points, 1 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals
New Jersey Jason Kidd 12 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals
3rd Quarter In the second half the points continued to flow freely at the line, as Dirk got proceeding under way hitting 4/4 free throws very early in the half. Dirk then began to dominate on the glass and a result of that was getting easy buckets. The pistons then controlled the game as they took a 60-46 lead. Although the nets ensured a contest was at hand, as carter jammed to get them within 9. Although this wasn’t threatening to Detroit as with some team play they quickly to it back out to 13 points thanks to an Alonzo Mourning three point play. The Pistons big men then began to make the impact we where expecting as they took Detroit out to a 73-60 lead with just 2 minutes left in the 3rd. Although with some New Jersey Frustration some how they managed to fall behind 82-65 but with to quick buckets in the last 24 second got the score back to 82-69 in the pistons favour.
4th Quarter The last quarter was going to need some desperation and defence from the nets to create a contest, but it didn’t start the right way as they fell behind by 15. The Pistons then completely crushed the nets in all shapes and forms as they led 98-77. But the nets finally realised this was not going to happen and they began to do something about it as they scored the next 3 buckets and had the score at 83-96 with 3:30 minutes to play. Although the momentum quickly changed after a Turkoglu dunk as the crowd spirited the pistons and they trounced back out to a 15 point lead. As the game found it’s self in the late stages it had become the pistons game as they led 109-91. In the last two minuted neither side worried about the game anymore as they both benched there starters and the pistons stormed away 111-97 winners in what was a day New Jersey would rather forget.
surprise of the game [player/individual performance]
The surprise of the game was definitely Josh Howard and Hamilton’s major return to form as they both recorded double digit numbers in the point’s category. Hamilton finished with 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals whereas Howard totalled 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and also 4 steals

Thnx well i did do it for you and i think i will get more chellenges then that becuase whilst watching the game i noticed that if they had a good big man that could control the boards and help out there backcourt they would've won and Kristic was 2-9 from the field so that will probably also chnage
P.S i will have another game up later

Looking good. Actually realism is the most important part of the game. A shame that EA doesnt realize that
But you did, and its looking good now. Good Luck!
I agree realism is one of the biggest factors in playing NBA and also for doing Dynasty stories so thanks for the interest

Thursday 8th March Sacramento @ Detroit
Preview:
This is going to be another tough task for the Kings if they’re going to challenge and potentially win the game. The pistons will look to attack from Hamilton on there unexperienced SG’s and also they will look to draw fouls on there big men and make Sacramento play players who aren’t ready to go up against so high quality. A key for the pistons will definitely b to contain Artest though. Although the task is not impossible it will be tough and therefore 3PK’S prediction is the Pistons by 8 [97-87]

Artest gets form boost with 31 and top scored but Hamilton closely follows with a season high 28
Summary
1st Quarter Both teams came out cleaning up the glass as the pistons missed inside just to see Nowitzki clean up and score, Then Miller mimicked him on the other end doing the same thing. The game was played at a frantic pace as the pistons scored 6 out of there first 8 points on the break. The pistons then began to play like garbage men cleaning the glass at all costs as they grabbed 9 rebounds in the first two minutes [in which 4 were offensive]. From this the pistons had a dominate 14-4 start under there belt in which was also largely helped by the fact Bibby was 0-4. But at this time Artest [much to the boos of the crowd do to the big fight at the Palace in previous year] Slammed one down to start a 4-0 run which was quickly ended by a pair of Hamilton Free-Throws. At this stage Sacramento Trailed 18-12 although there play did not reflect this as they knocked three balls loose just to have Mr. Big Shot knock down a 3 with 1 second on the shot clock. Regardless of this the Kings kept surging and soon found that they where trailing by just 3 points with a minute to play. Although the last minute was owned by Shaquille O’Neal as he sent them onto the pine leading 27-19 after an all-round team quarter.
2nd Quarter In the second quarter both teams came out with an intention to score and that’s how it was being played as the 1st four possessions all resulted in points of somewhat. The kings had tightened up there defence and it was starting to pay dived ends as it resulted in two missed shots and 4 fast break points which got them within 5 [27-32]. But Detroit where creative as they found other dimensions to score, with Hamilton dishing up an alley-oop and Shaq getting the ball knocked away into Hamilton for an open shot. The pistons then went back to conventional offence and went on an 8-2 run to lead 40-29. Then as the quarter proceeded the Detroit Big Men began to dominate and got them out to a 48-33 lead. But as was the pattern all day Artest stopped the run with a dunk, but he couldn’t handle it at the other end as Dirk completely took his game to another level and torched it up with a Monster 3 point play. This led to the pistons elevating there game and taking a 54-40 lead. Although Sacramento made minor changes to that score line but couldn’t do any better then allowing the pistons a 54-42 lead
Players at the half
Detroit Shaquille O’Neal 11 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals and 3 blocks
Sacramento Ron Artest 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal
3rd Quarter In the second half as was the case through most of the season Detroit opponent once again found themselves playing catch up in the second half. But this time it seemed different as the kings had a mindset to attack and got to the line on there 1st two plays as they prevented Detroit from scoring. Although after the Pistons found a rhythm they where able to gauge the lead back out to 16 [60-44]. But this wasn’t slowing down Sacramento as they drew the 3rd team foul in 2 minutes on Detroit and once again got to the line. This was beginning to make dived ends in the score as they got back within 11. But the pistons had always had the ability to be a team of runs and momentum as they got it back out to 15 in the blink of an eye. But Sacramento where relentless as they got to the line a 4th and 5th time to get the lead back down to 13. But the passing of Sacramento was completely of as they threw into the post as if there was no opponent turning the ball over to Shaq on consecutive plays. Then just three plays after they did it again and all Eric Musslemen could do was watch his team get taught a valuable lesson in which was to look after the ball. The game then completely got out of hand as the Kings where left clue-less trailing by 21. Although with a late run they got it back to 17 points.
4th Quarter In the last Sacramento came out with a purpose, one to cut the lead back to single digits. The Kings came out a sense of urgency as they escaped from the grasps of the pistons and rapidly had the lead down to just 12. The Kings then used there quick hand to get within 8, but this sparked a run from Detroit as they ran the break to perfection and too a 16 point lead from no-where. This seemed to be the end of it all as the lead sat at 16 until the 3 minute mark, at this stage pressure was again put on Sacramento and they couldn’t answer with the lead breaking back out to 20. But the Kings where doing all in there power to make a respectable score line and in the last two minutes did so reducing it to a final score line 103-93 of after a tough night at the palace.
Quarter By Quarter Score line
1st Quarter Detroit lead 27-19
2nd Quarter Detroit lead 54-42
3rd Quarter Detroit lead 76-59
4th Quarter Detroit win 101-93
surprise of the game
The surprise of the game was definitely Sacramento’s ability to limit The Monster Trio from having game-winning effects with only Nowitzki scoring over 20 with 23, Although Detroit showed there depth as Hamilton scored 28 and Howard chipped in big with 18 points and 7 boards.

That's a match I always wanted to see but always missed (Nowitzki vs. Miller) but I'm guessing he did "nice" and only "nice". But nice win man, don't worry about the comments . oh yeah, what happened to Martin

Tuesday 10th of April Memphis @ Detroit
Preview:
Detroit once again plays at home against a rejuvenated 16-10 Memphis. This game kicks off what will definitely be the hardest month for Detroit as they face Chicago, Golden State and a 17-9 Nuggets outfit. Detroit come into the game as strong favourites in what will definitely be a battle of two powerful insides as Gasol, Swift, Nowitzki and Shaquille O’Neal go at each other. The Grizzlies will go into the game high on confidence after a late run and will definitely use this game to there benefit win or lose. The key for both teams will be to keep the ball out of the lane and have active hands as has been the case of recent for Detroit. Some threats the Grizzlies will have to watch out are Billups ability to get inside and then find open opponents although overall don’t underestimate the grizzlies and 3PK’S prediction is the grizzlies to pull over the line 97-92

Summary
1st Quarter The game started off with three great Memphis plays as they cut Billups passes of then ran the break to score on all 3 attempt to lead 6-0. The great hustle didn’t stop there as they deflected a pistons ball and ran out to an 8-0 lead. But through perseverance and hard work the pistons came back within 4 points. The Grizzlies where performing their plans perfectly as they didn’t although Billups to find any passing lanes and they used there strengths on offence and kept the dominate Pistons back court out of the game. At this stage the game was beginning to flow into a rhythm in which one Detroit didn’t like as the where forced to set up offence and weren’t allowed to run there dangerous fast break. The game was being dictated by the Grizzlies as they led 12-6 but this was just before Nowitzki ignited a 6-0 run to tie it up at 12 a piece. From this the game slowed down to a withering and boring pace in which Memphis where accelerating in as they drew constant fouls on Detroit to see Billups and Shaq out of the game after just 6 minutes in foul trouble. The last to minutes where stacked with relentless and determined plays as both team tried to find a break but it was a sharp Memphis team that had a 5 point lead with 30 seconds to go in the quarter. Although with some brilliance Howard scored a 3 point play and jammed down to tie it up after one at 23-23.
2nd Quarter The second quarter started of well as Howard continued he’s recent great form although suddenly there was shocking news as once again Pistons game source Josh Howard had to leave the game with what looked like an leg injury after he was hacked by Swift on his way to the basket. Although just 3 plays after Memphis got there just deserts as Stoudemire there key player got injured and also left the court. This brought to a sudden change of events as the pistons lost there key to goal and the grizzlies jumped ahead 34-29. Although the pistons really didn’t want to let this one go as they drove to the basket with no fear and with 4:22 to play took a 35-34 lead. Then Memphis got two pieces of good news as they regained the lead and Damon Stoudemire re-entered the game with nothing but a little scab to contemplate. Although this brought on a vicious Pistons run as the bruised and battered there way to a 43-36 lead. Although in the last two minutes it was Memphis getting the better hand to draw Shaq’s 3rd foul and trail by just four 45-41
Players at the half
Game Note: [The first half was all big men and the small had very little impact]
Detroit Dirk Nowitzki 14 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist
Memphis P. Gasol 11 points, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block
3rd Quarter In the second half Howard was cleared to play and he seemed a even better player then he’s mere 1st half shadow. The pistons came out with a completely different game plan and strategy as it was certain they had adjusted to the slow defence and then dictated there offence in which was played at a hectic pace with few turnovers and lots of score. This was resulting in constant Detroit baskets and they took the lead out to 9 points, but with great play and a quick change of play the Grizzlies went on a 6-0 run to trail 51-54. Detroit then tried to do all in there power to wear down Gasol as they dumped it inside and contested every rebound and it was paying off as he struggled to run the court at a strong consistent pace and ultimately there where losing there great 1st half defence. But somehow Memphis never let Detroit break away as they kept in dangerous and unfamiliar pistons territory to stay around 3 to 7 points in tact. But some Shaq Brilliance saw the lead back out to 10 as he powered to home on consecutive plays, But the Olowokandi (the candy man) dropped some big baskets including a three point play to get them once again within 4. Then both teams found a few baskets and Memphis found themselves trailing by just 4 points (74-70) in what was the Pistons biggest challenge so far bar the Suns Loss.
4th Quarter The last quarter tone was set by Memphis as they blocked the pistons twice and got a 24 second violation. Although this tone was short lived as Detroit ran the break with no fear and took an 82-73 lead. Both teams then began to trade buckeyes in a showdown of great offences but the pistons kept a 86-79 break on the Grizzlies. Shaquille O’Neal re-entered and he was playing his best pistons game ever as he showed Gasol the true meaning of a power dunk, with that in context Gasol wasn’t intimidated or put in fear and he showed Shaq the true meaning of skill and strength combined as he opened up he’s dominate repute and scored a powerful three point play. This inspired the Grizzlies as the sucked the crowd right out the game and ties it up at 88-88. But the pistons where consistent in feeding that point loving post and Dirk approved of this as he scored two tough baskets to get them up 92-88. Then another twist of events as the Grizzlies lost there second PG due to injury in a injury plagued game although the 1st one wasn’t serious the second one definitely was and Jackson was helped if with what looked a serious injury. This took the sting from Memphis and put the sting in a loud Detroit crowd who helped them take a 98-90 lead. But the pistons where determined to show they still had a hunger as they went up big. Although the Grizzlies had one last crack at the win and with 34 second trailed by just 4 with possession. Then they where able to muster a ball inside to Pau for the lay-up, this then led to a steal to set up a tough lay-up for a half injured Stoudemire who sent it into OT with scores tied at 101-101.
Overtime The overtime period began according to plan for Detroit as they made four gallant defensive stops and got out to a early 109-101 lead after 1 minute of time had been played. The hunger was burning in Detroit and the crowd where making them know that this game had to be won. But Memphis weren’t going to go down without a fight and they began to close in on the margin as they got within 5 after 3 minutes of play. This was then quickly cut to 4 after Shaquille O’Neal put won back followed by a Mike Miller 3. The Grizzlies then began to impose a serious threat on the pistons when they drew within two minutes with under a minute to play. The Grizzlies then forced a turnover and had 19 second to produce a triple overtime or get the win but it was Stromile Swift falling narrowly short to leave them trailing by two points when it was all said and done. The final score ended up with the pistons up 115-113.

The surprise of the game wasn’t an individual one although it was a team one for the Grizzlies as they put constant pressure on Detroit and where the first team to challenge Detroit with a full strength side which includes 4 previous All Stars and one which will definitely be there about in years to come.
3PK’s Game breaker:
Shaquille O’Neal Shaq was a definite choice for game breaker because he broke the game apart with he’s power dunks that drew the crowd into the game and ultimately they where the one that probably got Detroit over the line, Shaq also cleaned up the glass on both ends and finished with 29 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals
