[nbalive744]

Damn it though loss. And thanks for the ideas, that post must've taken you a long time, because I am working on a post for my dynasty, and it's a little similar to your style, and its taking a while, good job with putting forth the effort .

[Blasphemy]

Great recap. Your pictures are cool.

[Jing]

nice stuff, jr smith is a beast, abuse that high flyer man!

[BOSS]

GO JOEY GRAHAM !!!

Use that sick son of a bitch wisely man. Also Araujo iz good if you keep playin him. He has a nice 15 foot jumper and a power on boards. Good job on the recaps and nice trade b. Too bad you lost though. Keep it up.

[killer_cr0ss0ver]

nice recap and nice game for lebron... too bad you lose your season opener..

you should try to make maci a starting sg and smith a sf.. maci is a 3pts master at my dyna..

[Kemp]

Magloire really need to put some points in the paint, the Hornets guards are doing all the hard work. Man, J.R. Smith is really rocking the rim.

[Cloudy]

C'mon Jugs! Let's get Horny!!! You gotta pull a big blockbuster trade and start winning..

New Orleans play their first home game of the season



The Sacramento Kings travel to New Orleans to verse the Hornets after the Hornets opening game loss.

Starting Line-Ups



Key Match-Up

Chris Paul vs. Mike Bibby

Which one of these guys will lead their team to success tonight.

1st Quarter

The Hornets began the game beautifully as they were rebounding the missed shots and capitalizing on the offensive end. The whole Hornets starting line-up had at least made one basket but they were only ahead by 4 points because they continued to make some mistakes. The Hornets defence stepped up a level as they began making some huge blocks but the Kings still managed to take a 1 point lead. Some more great defence from Chris Anderson helped the Hornets retain a 3 point lead but more mistakes led to the loss of the lead. The Hornets fouled a guy shooting for 3 twice in a row which gave up 6 points as the Kings ended the quarter ahead 28-23.

2nd Quarter

The quarter started with both teams playing strongly then the Hornets brought on Macijauskas and he inspired his team into making a comeback. The Hornets kept attacking at the Kings lead as Chris Paul got into foul trouble. The Hornets began to struggle on the rebounds and the Kings took advantage of this (STUPID EA AND THEIR SHIT OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS) but the Kings only managed a slight extension of the lead. J.R. Smith missed a buzzer beating dunk as the Kings finished the half ahead 51-46.

Key Players at the Half

Brad Miller and J.R. Smith

3rd Quarter

The Hornets big 2 started going crazy as PJ Brown and Jamal Magloire scored 5 points in a row to even up the scores at 51 a piece. The Hornets began to rebound strongly but they JUST COULDN'T SCORE! J.R. Smith did manage to score to even the scores up again then Shareef made an adjusted shot plus the and 1 and that was CP3's 4th Personal. Some more awesome defence and offence leveled the scores at 57 a piece then a J.R. Smith 3 pointer gave the Hornets the lead that they deserve. The Kings scored a basket so Byron Scott called a timeout so he could rest J.R. Smith. The Kings somehow lost the lead so another timeout was called and J.R. Smith was put back on the floor. J.R. Smith of course delivered with a shotclock buzzer beating 3 pointer to regain a 1 point lead. The Kings managed to score as they ended the quarter ahead 68-67.

4th Quarter

The Kings extended their lead to 7 points so the Hornets called a timeout to bring in their best 5. The Kings had a lead of 8 point with 4:25 to go so the Kings called a timeout and Byron Scott put Birdman in the line-up for defensive stops and Macijauskas for the shooting. The Hornets then scored 7 points in a row, including 2 3s from Macijauskas to reduce the deficit to 7 with 2:14 to go. Some more great defence and offence reduced the deficit to 4 points with 1:20 to go. Birdman stole the ball which saw Magloire on the fast break and then the lead was cut down to 2 points with 1:03 to go. Peja scored with 55 seconds to go so the Hornets called a timeout. The Hornets missed shots and the Kings extended their lead to 7 points as the Hornets' time had ran out. The Kings took this game 102-95.

Igor Skrnjug was pleased with the performances of J.R. Smith and Arvydas Macijauskas and was also glad that Magloire and PJ Brown stepped up their inside game and rebounding.

Igor Skrnjug also announced that David West has been traded to the San Antonio Spurs for Beno Udrih. This gives the Hornets a deeper Point Guard rotation and much needed help for Chris Paul at the point. Beno Udrih will not be able to make it to tomorow's game against the Houston Rockets so the Hornets have activated Rafael Araujo off the IR until Beno Udrih arrives.

Enjoy, i was sooo close, Jugs.

[Jing]

hm, good game and great dunks, still sucks that you lost, oh well.

[The X]

I've noticed that you really seem to like Macijackeivicusidfoidsoic a lot....those shooting numbers are terrible....if he had of stayed under control then you would have had a shot at taking this game....nice pickup of Udrih, he should do well for you

[BOSS]

Ye Macijauskas iz jus like Sarunas in the game, good shooter and pretty quick. You should think of starting him.

Code: Select all

C : Magloire
PF: Brown
SF: Smith
SG: Macijauskas
PG: Paul

[nbalive744]

Really good game for Brad Miller, and JR Smith, but unfortunately you lost, I hate EA also for the stupid offensive rebounds, it happened to me too! Very good coverage, nice pics! I see they are saved as jpegs.

Great Words of Advice from nbalive744:

"Win the next game"

[brad feet]

is tierre brown on the hornets now in real life or just in your dynasty? anyway, tough back to back losses there..... i like some more funny stuff like the bibby tripping..... lol

[Keo]

is tierre brown on the hornets now in real life or just in your dynasty?

He's with the Raptors.
Tough loss Jugs, I'm surprised to see Rasual Butler on the IR. I really thought this would be his year, I hope he gets some playing time. Nice work on Bibby, it's a good strategy: Embarrass the opisition's star player. Hopefully you can pick one up in the next game, good luck.

[Mark.]

Two tought losses, you need to get the ball to magloire inside, that should open the court for your great backcourt

[Kemp]

Magloire is outplayed by Miller. Magloire should be able to put down 18pts and 10rebs easily. It looks like J.R. Smith is carrying the load of the Hornets' offence. Hope you can bounce back after two losses.

[Bosh4]

trade magloire to bucks

[killer_cr0ss0ver]

you should try to make maci a starting sg and smith a sf.. maci is a 3pts master at my dyna..

Ye Macijauskas iz jus like Sarunas in the game, good shooter and pretty quick. You should think of starting him.

you should try that jugs..

tough loss again.. you should lower cpu's off reb...

good luck on your next game...

[[C][B]#4]

hey jugs...u gonna trade Magloire for Mason to add realism?? or r u gonna keep magloire?

[Jugs]

Hell No, my GM isn't as retarted as the real New Orleans Hornets



Fuck realism

but the trade has been considered

Oh and i prefer Macijauskas to come on near the end of the game or during tight games because of his shooting.. not sure if i'll start him though

Oh and Tierre Brown WAS on the Raptors but in real life he got released by Toronto but wen i started the dynasty, he was on the Raptors

New Orleans travel to Houston to verse the Rockets



The Hornets travel to the town who helped host some of the refugees of Hurricane Katrina.

Starting Line-Ups



Key Match-Up

J.R. Smith vs. Tracy McGrady

A very exciting match-up indeed.

1st Quarter

Once again, the Hornets started the game badly but not as bad as previous games. The Hornets did make 2 good steals for only 3 points and they were only behind by 3 points. The Hornets were doing their best to comeback into the game but they got into early foul trouble which was frustrating. The Hornets did their best to try and get themselves back into the game but Ming and McGrady were to hard to handle. It looked like the quarter had finished early as the Rockets were ahead 29-20 but then the Hornets made 3 baskets in a row to end the quarter down 29-26.

2nd Quarter

Rafael Araujo started the quarter on the court this half to see his first minutes for his new club. The Hornets scored the firzt 4 points as Derek Anderson commited his 3rd personal and the Hornets took the lead. The Hornets looked much better when they began to make defensive stops but they just couldn't hold onto their lead. Unfortunately somehow J.R. Smith got into foul trouble which meant someone else had to stand up even though he was only on 6 points. The Hornets offence went completely cold but their defence was nice but it wasn't enough to stop the Rockets from extending their lead. The Hornets offence finally got into some sort of a rhythym and tied up the game at 48 a piece with 2 minutes left in the half. Magloire had stepped up his game as he kept posterizing Ming. The Hornets sort of collapsed near the end as the Rockets finished the quarter ahead 56-52.

Key Players at the Half

Jamal Magloire and Rafer Alston

3rd Quarter

The Rockets came out strong but the Hornets managed to keep themselves into the game. The Hornets got into foul trouble really quickly but they managed to play their offence well so they could make up for it. It was great to see that the whole team had scored for the Hornets, this was truly their best game as a team so far this season but they were still behind by 6 points. J.R. Smith was on a fast break and he dunked over Rafer Alston, that got the crowd to shut right up. PJ Brown also rejected Yao Ming then J.R. Smith posterized Yao Ming but the Rockets still had bragging rights with a 6 point lead. Chris Anderson hit the lay-up with 6 seconds left to even up the scores at 83 a piece and Rafer Alston missed the buzzer beating 3 which left the scores at 83 a piece going into the final quarter.

4th Quarter

Both teams came out strongly but Rafer Alston started to burn the defence with scoring of his own and the Rockets had the small advantage. Some unstoppable Rockets offence gave them a 6 point lead but a J.R. Smith 3 pointer halved it. Jamal Magloire dunked over 4 Rockets players to level the scores at 98 a piece with 2:31 to go. Derek Anderson answered with a jumpshot then Joey Graham dunked it on Yao Ming and got the and 1 as well to take the lead. Stromile Swift dunked on a tip-in then J.R. Smith dunked it over Swift and DA to take back the lead with 1:39 to go. Swift missed a shot on one end and then Paul missed it on the other and it was back to the Rockets to try and make something. Derek Anderson made the 3 point play with 49 seconds left and the Rockets had a 2 point lead. The Hornets missed the shot and T-Mac made a basket on the other end with 26 seconds left so the Hornets called for a timeout. Arvydas Macijauskas made the 3 pointer with 18 seconds left to reduce the lead to 1 point. PJ Brown fouled Alston which sent him to the line. Alston made both shots and another timeout was called for the Hornets. Macijauskas missed the 3 point shot and the Rockets took this game 109-106.

Igor Skrnjug was disappointed with the loss but he was impressed by the performance of the team as a whole. He was glad that the starting line-up all got into double figures and his big men were playing bigger. Igor announced that Beno Udrih has arrived in Oklahoma City and is ready to play the next game and will replace Tierre Brown in the 12 man squad and he also announced that Jamal Magloire will NOT be traded in the next 2 months. That means i might still trade him around the trade deadline

GARH AGAIN NEARLY WON!, Jugs.

[nbalive744]

Nice recaps and pics like always, Jugs. But you lost yet again, damn it 0-3.

[[C][B]#4]

as a Raptor fan..it's sorta wierd seeing Araujo and Graham in a Hornets uniform..It looks wierd somehow.. too bad u lost tho...you'll bounce back..and about that realism thing

EDIT: Not that it really matters..but Alston is #12 in Houston cuz Yao Ming is 11. Maybe you could DBF Edit that...

[Mark.]

Tought loss, but yeah i wouldnt worry bout doing the trade if you dont wanna, its not like it would make it any more realistic if you did, cos different things have already happened in your dynasty that havent happened IRL e.g. the Raps trade.

Keep up the good work, and you'll get your win soon, these havent been easy teams so far.

[killer_cr0ss0ver]

tight loss man.. dont worry, you'll get your win....
