Interesting...The Rookies of the Month winners in your dynasty are exactly the same in my dynasty.

its prob. cuz of cp3 being in the east instead of the west, thats one of the main reason i want a current dynasty, cuz it really sucks having them in the east and no having the bobcats but w/e

thanks for the comments

yougi thanks for reading

ive been trying to post an update, i should have something up by tonight, but im having a problem with the cyberfrace patch from nbalive.org, the one with the rookies like dwight howard and josh smith, ive played a few games so far rthis season with them like jefferson and dwight howard, i did something and was able to play the game, but now i was going to play the portland game and it crashed so i just replaced the whole player viv file and now they have blacks faces and white bodies, i dont kno what to do so for now i have to hold on with the updates until i eietehr fix the problem or just start again with their generic faces

it sucks cuz at he 04 section theres no more replies for such problems and all the links for the cyberfaces are down so the only option is the dotorg patch

some one please help

ok never mind that rant, im still bummed out by the fact that the 04 section is so out of date but cant blame people for moving on to the newer versions

one of the reasons i want 06 so bad is so i dont have to update so many things including the dbfs which i did some edinting to get the some startin lineup fixed and just to make it more realistic, i think you'll notice some changes by the end of the month

but heres the first week of december update, hope you guys enjoy it

Billups Outshoots Marbury, Knicks

Facing his old team for the second time Lary Brown really wanted his current team to pull out with the win. But Chauncey Billups made sure to keep Detroits winning streak alive and beat his old coach for the second time in the early season. The Knicks offense sputtered early and Stephon Marbury could get his team going. Stephon scored 2 points and took just one shot in 24 minutes.

It was an uncharacteristic game for the point guard who is often criticized for playing with a shoot first mentality.

Billups, who under Brown became a complete guard scored 30 points and handed out 6 assists to lead the Pistons, who behind the dynamic backcourt of Billups and Hamilton held the lead throughout the game and established a 10 point margin in the fourth quarter.

The Knicks were able to hang around and after falling by double digits in the fourth fought back to get within a basket but it was too little too late.
New York didnt take advantage of a great game from Eddy Curry who scored 22 points and grabbed 11 boards. Jamal Crawford wasnt shy about shooting for the Knicks as he added 18 on 7-13 shooting.

After the game Larry Brown was a litt more baffled than anything else. When asked about Marbury's performance he said: "I couldnt understand. Its almost like he didnt wanna be out there. We count on him to make things happen and he really let the whole team down."

Said Marbury when asked about his stat line:" I took more than one shot didnt I? I wasnt getting some calls so I tried to get my teammates involved. I cant score 30 points every night. We gotta play better next game."


Eddy Curry was strong on offense and defense

Knicks Holdoff SuperSonics

The New York Knicks starte their west coast road trip in Seattle where they faced the struggling 6-8 Sonics. Coming off a night where he took just one shot, Stephon Marbury led his Knicks to their 5th win of the season. Despite scoring just 11 points, Marbury handed out 8 assists and gave his team the leadership to close out the game.

New York trailed for most of the game as Rashard Lewis and Ray Allen shot the Sonics to a quick start but the Knicks defense tightened and New Yorks hung around long enough to make a late run in the fourth to win 84-80.

Lewis led all scorers with 22 and Luke Ridnour recorded a double-double with 21 pts and 11 assists. For the Knicks Crawfor was the high point man with 15.

Larry Brown was happy to finally get the fifth win but conceded that his team needs alot of work but is encouraged by their progress. "Yeah we're losing alot of close games. Bur early on we were losing big so Its encouraging to be in games late. Now we have to work on closing out games and finishing teams off."

Telfair Too Much for Marbury to Handle


Sebastian Telfair scrored 32 points as he led his Trailblazers past Cousins Knicks. Marbury who matched up early on with Telfair was unable to stop the second year point guard who got into the lane at will. Telfair showed off the speed the made him such dynamic highschool prospect as he blew past his cousin and the the entire Knicks defense on his way to 13-29 shooting.

Larry Brown moved Marbury to the two guard and assisned rookie Nate Robinson the task to guard Telfair. "He was too quick and we couldnt stop him, we tried matching up by goin small but that didnt work either. The young man had a terrific game. Its unfortunate it had to come at the expense of a loss.", said Larry Brown.

The Blazers desperately needed Sebastians offense as Zack Randolph was unable to match his big averages of 23 ppg. He finished with 8 but Portlands youngs guys were able to stay in the game and pull out with the win. Rookie Martell Webster scored 14 off the bench.

For the Knicks who led throughout until losing the lead late were led by another nice night from big man Eddy Curry who scored 21. Marbury added 20, while ex-Blazer Qyntel Woods who got the start scored 18 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. Said Woods, "It was great to get the start, Coach is showing more and more confidence in me and it felt good going out there and playing good against my former team but it means nothing because we lost."

D-Fish Drains Knicks



Derek Fisher stepped up big and drained the game winning three to lead the West leading Warriors to their 14th win of the season. Fisher who played 27 minutes off the bench because of foul trouble to Baron Davis scored 25 points and also added 8 assists. Jason Richardson led all scorers with 29 including multiple highlight reel dunks. The Warriors opened a big lead early without Baron Davis who played just 12 minutes but scored 16 points.

The Knicks meanwhile were unable to take advantage of the Davis' foul trouble as their own starting point man was relegated to the bench, but not because of foul trouble. Stephon Marbury played just 10 minutes, all of them in the first as he was bench for the rest of the game by Knicks coach Larry Brown. The void left by Marbury was filled by Crawford who is more of a two guard than a one. Jamal scored 9 and dished 7 assists.

Channing Frye tried to step up for his team as he delivered 27 points (12-19) and 10 rebounds. Curry added 14 and 9.

The Knicks managed to comeback with Marbury but in the end Fishers three with 34 seconds remaining sealed the victory for Golden State.

When asked about Marbury's benchin Larry Brown said it wasnt due to injury but didnt offer any further comment.

yikes it's been a rough year so far...are you going to try to shake things up (trade) to try to make the playoffs? Or are you playing this as a dynasty, and you'll take a high draft pick & work from there?

Perhaps Marbury is on the trading block, huh?

Hey, Very very very Nice Dynasty so far, like everything about it.

Man very close losses there. Good luck against the West. hopefully you can bounce back!

KNICKS NOTEBOOK
Larry Brown and Marbury Feud Continues

Los Angeles, CA (AP)- Larry Brown told reporters today his reason for benching starting point guard Stephon Marbury after the first quarter of last nights loss to the Golden State Warriors. "I wasnt pleased with the way he was playing. He made some very selfish decisions outthere. I mean one night hes taking one shot all game and then he starts shooting erratic shots without running the sets". An obviously frustrated Brown continued, "I decided to sit him (Marbury) down because he took 13 shots in the first quarter. He made three of those shots. He obviously wasnt playing team basketball out there so I sat him down. I wanted him to watch the game from the bench and see what i was trying to get him to do. I wanted him to share the ball and take the oppotunities he had but 13 shots and to make just three,it was something i couldn’t understand."

When asked if he had talked with his coach about the benching, Marbury simply said "No." When asked to elaborate he said he had nothing to talk to Larry Brown about and if Brown wanted to tell him something he(Brown) would come tell him himself.

Rocky relationship between the strong minded Marbury and old fashioned Larry Brown has become more aparent and it is obvious the two sides are as far apart as they have been. The two have clashed before and these rifts are nothing new.

Back in the Summer it was rumored Brown wanted Marbury kicked off the Olympic team which he was the coach of and the relationship has been pretty much the same ever since. Marbury wants Brown to let him play his game and more freedom offensively while Larry wants Stephon to share the ball more and hold on to it less. He also wants the guard to play defense which Stephon has been indifferent about.

These relationships with his guards is nothing new for larry Brown who has had his relationship with Allen Iverson and Chauncey Billups well publicized. The question is can these two coexist like those before them? Only time will tell. As for now it is obvious neither side is giving in.
