Around the League

1)MIA vs 8)DET = MIA 3-0
2)CHI vs 7)BOS = BOS 3-1
3)CHA vs 6)NCD = NCD 3-0
4)ORL vs 5)PHI = PHI 3-2

4)PHX vs 5)DEN = DEN 3-1

Scores: osaki: 12, Axel.: 9, Houndy: 9, Thierry: 6, Valdis: 6, Cruzerr: 6, puttincomputers: 6 - Nobody predicted that I'd sweep.

Notes:
-Kevin Durant averaged 44.5 ppg and 11.5 rpg through OKC's four-game series in New Orleans. His best scoring game? His 54-point, 14-rebound performance in game 1.
-Although Orlando lost in five games, teammates Devin Harris and Dwight Howard both averaged 25 points apiece per game. Howard has 14 rebounds a game as well.
-Dallas may have swept the Warriors, but it came with a very heavy price. Quickly emerging star Rashad McCants underwent knee surgery after rupturing his Achilles' tendon and will miss six to eight months.
-Former Dominator DeJuan Blair, now playing for the Heat, is averaging 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks on 75% shooting through his first three playoff games.

Alright, guys, I'll have your point totals for the season after everyone else posts their second round predictions. They carried over from last season and it seems I've got a lot of totaling up to do.

Also, digging the new NLSC layout. Looks like I might have more than seven followers now that both associations and dynasties are together.

Anybody who wishes to be an NLSCer is welcome to join, just check the first page for the form and you'll be inserted into the 2013 draft. (The season after next)

NLSCer Update

Today, we focus on a strange group of six rookies called the 'NLSCers'. They all found their ways onto NBA teams after being picked late in the first round, and have all contributed to their respective teams. Let's look back at them.

AXEL GOMEZ- Charlotte's main back-up at the point guard started off slow, but picked it up late in the season. Of course, for most of November and December, he had "DNP- sprained ankle" and "DNP- pulled hamstring" written next to his name, but he also shared bench duties with D.J. Augustin and rarely played for more than ten minutes a game. After Augustin was traded, Gomez was able to raise his averages to respectable stats. He had a career night on March 31, scoring 19 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds in a 40-point blowout over New York, his only start.
(7.4 ppg, 1.1 rpg, 2.5 apg, 0.4 spg, 0.0 bpg, 23 games, 11.2 min.)

THIERRY TIRIEUX- Mr. Tirieux hasn't got much playing time as a 12th man on a title contender, the Dallas Mavericks. In his seventeen games and 170 total minutes, he's showed off a few dunks, including a two-handed posterization of North Carolina's Corey Harrington. He's also shown he can play a little point-forward. While he only runs the point-forward in garbage time, it's proven quite interesting for Dallas's future. In fact, he had a near-triple double while playing 24 minutes versus the Houston Rockets, recording 11 points, 7 assists, and 9 rebounds. He seems somewhat content with only playing 10 minutes a game, as long he's playing alongside one of the best teams in the league.
(2.9 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.9 apg, 0.6 spg, 0.4 bpg, 17 games, 10.0 min.)

MANFRED NISSLEY- Through trades New Orleans has made this season, Nissley has gone from a fifth-string shooting guard to the Hornets back-up at the 2. Nissley has had problems adjusting to the NBA due to his 5'9 frame. He hasn't found much playing time either. Goran Dragic and Rudy Fernandez each put up 20 points per game this season and each played over 40 minutes a night, blocking out any chance of Nissley getting very consistent minutes. The team is in a tailspin and Fernandez is already upset. If Fernandez is traded during the offseason, Nissley could become a starter. He's shown flashes of brilliance, once recording 7 points, 9 assists, and 6 steals in 14 minutes against the Dallas Mavericks.
(3.7 ppg, 0.3 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.0 spg, 0.0 bpg, 27 games, 9.9 min.)

CLUSTER JACKSON- Cluster Jackson was thrown into the spotlight before his third NBA game. He was told Greg Oden was out for the season again after yet another knee injury. Jackson would become a starter on the title contending Oklahoma City Thunder. Living his dream, he played alongside Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Russell Westbrook, and Andre' Iguodala and averaged 6, 6, and 2 blocks. "I'm lovin' it," were Cluster's only words in an interview following his only 20-20 game in a 97-66 win over the Magic.
(6.4 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 0.8 apg, 0.8 spg, 2.0 bpg, 30 games, 26.6 min.)

WILLIE LEWIS- Willie Lewis never found much time behind Andre Miller, Wes Matthews, Darren Collison, and Shaun Livingston in his rookie season in Portland, playing as a 10th to 12th man. He thought he'd receive more time after Shaun Livingston went down and underwent surgery on his hand in late February. The next week, Lewis's season ended after straining his Achilles tendon. He was able to play two games in the first round of the playoffs, but Portland went down to LA 3-2. Lewis totaled 17 points and six steals in those two games for a strong finish following a surprise injury to Wes Matthews. With several players likely to switch teams next season, Lewis could easily find more time with the Blazers next season.
(4.2 ppg, 2.2 apg, 2.2 rpg, 0.7 spg, 0.3 bpg, 19 games, 8.7 min.)

VALDIS IESALNIEKS- The Spurs' decline has been very sharp. Duncan and Ginobili are declining steadily and the Spurs have sunk deep into the lottery. Iesalnieks wasn't able to help out the NBA's third worst offensive team in its main weakness, but provided decent rebounding and shot blocking as a backup center and occasional starter. He was the only rookie to play the entire 48 in a game this season, racking up 5 points, 5 blocks, and 17 rebounds in his best game of the season against the injury weakened Blazers. He was also the only Spur not named Tony Parker to play all 30 games of the season.
(2.2 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 0.3 apg, 0.8 spg, 1.7 bpg, 30 games, 18.7 min.)

4.8 steals and 12 assists per 48 minutes! :shock:

by **rise** on Sat May 07, 2011 8:31 am

lol, I had to edit some stats. They're a little off, because bench don't get shit in Live 2003. Frickin' Zach Randolph, sixth man for some team (don't remember) was averaging 3ppg/2rpg on six minutes a game, so something had to be changed. :lol:

I just multiplied stats by some factor, which currently escapes me.

by **Axel The Great** on Sat May 07, 2011 9:48 am

Who's Cluster Jackson?

I see stardom in that bench warmer Axel. Maybe one day he'll take his talents to Houston. :cool:

by **rise** on Sat May 07, 2011 9:56 am

Cluster Jackson was Radioman. He hasn't been here for months. He left right after he was drafted, in fact. :shock:

Maybe the shock of being the Thunder's starting center was too much for him? :lol:

by **Bucket** on Sat May 07, 2011 6:46 pm

I played all 30 games. :cool:

And 5 points, 5 blocks and 17 rebounds my greatest game? Something is wrong in San Antonio.

Jared Dudley Outdoes Ray Allen In Scoring Duel, But Domination Lose To Celtics

Further proof that the Celtics are a completely different team in the playoffs: they actually finished with a losing record, landed the seventh spot in the East, and subsequently tore down the soaring Chicago Bulls. They then handed the Domination their first ever playoff loss behind Ray Allen's 28 points, Kendrick Perkins' six offensive rebounds IN A SINGLE PLAY, Garnett's 20/10, and Rondo's near triple-double.

Boston hit a tough spot late in the first quarter. Just a minte and nineteen seconds into Nick Collison's playing time, he was accidentally elbowed in the head by Desagana Diop while fighting for a rebound. He was taken off on a stretcher and by the end of the game, ruled out for the series, leaving Boston with only eleven healthy players on their fifteen-man roster. They now only have Perkins, Garnett, Cole Aldrich, amd Stromile Swift at the 4 and the 5.

Surprisingly, the Domination were the ones totally lost in the second quarter. The Celtics outscored them by 27 points in the period and turned a seven-point deficit into a twenty-point lead, a lead they would nearly relinquish in the third, when the Domination outscored the Celtics 38-21. Despite only a three-point deficit, the Domination would only take the lead for a few seconds in the early fourth quarter, before Ray Allen nailed outside shots in the face of everyone in the state of North Carolina. Jared Dudley, 7-7 from outside until that point, suddenly lost his magical touch and missed two open threes in the final two minutes. Unable to hit a three, (though they shot eleven of them in the final quarter and missed them all), the Domination forced the ball inside to Tyson Chandler, who was fouled on nearly every trip down the lane. Struggling, Tyson only managed to hit two of nine from the line. Despite matching the Celtics point output in the final period, the Domination couldn't make it.

BOS: 19|59|80|109| Ray Allen: 28 points (10-14 FG%, 5-8 3P%, 3-3 FT%), 2 assists, 1 rebound, 1 block, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, 1 foul
NCD: 26|39|77|106| Jared Dudley: 35 points (14-21 FG%, 7-9 3P%, 0-0 FT%), 1 assist, 2 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, 1 turnover, 1 foul

-- Game 2--

Jared Dudley Continues To Hit Threes, But NCD Continues To Lose

Ray Allen and Jared Dudley continue to have a three-point contest. Over the first two games, Allen is 9-12 from outside and Jared Dudley is an amazing 13-17 from the outside. In fact, the whole North Carolina team was on fire from outside, shooting 16-29 3P% in contrast to Boston's 4-10. However, the Domination have big problems when Dudley can't get it going inside. He went 2-12 inside the arc, Wilson Chandler was only 3-11 inside, and Tyson Chandler 4-12. This was probably the key difference, as Kevin Garnett was a perfect 9-9.

Boston's starting line-up all scored double digits with Allen leading the way with 25, while Rondo scored 19, dished 12 assists, grabbed four boards, and forced three turnovers with steals- all while only playing half the game due to foul trouble. Kevin Garnett was a huge help on defense and offense for Boston, with 20 points and 5 blocks. He even played center for a few minutes due to Nick Collison's injury. Also Cole Aldrich did not dress due to a sore knee. Either way, the short-handed Celtics were able to start off 2-0.

BOS: 28|58|77|116| Ray Allen: 25 points (10-16 FG%, 4-4 3P%, 1-1 FT%), 3 assists, 1 rebound, 2 steals, 0 blocks, 2 turnovers, 3 fouls
NCD: 23|48|79|108| Shannon Brown: 20 points (9-11 FG%, 2-4 3P%, 0-0 FT%), 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 5 fouls

--Game 3--

Ray Allen Goes Berserk: Boston Leads 3-0

No team has ever given up a series after leading it 3-0. The Domination find themselves on the wrong end of that scenario. Wilson Chandler enjoyed his best game of the season with 24 points and 16 rebounds, while Jared Dudley chipped in another 25 points, Tyson Chandler finished with an 18/18, Corey Harrington finished with his usual 15ppg/7apg/3spg statline, but no one else really showed up for North Carolina. "This is not a four-person game. The entire starting line-up, plus the bench- the whole team has to show up, now we're stuck in a 3-0 hole," Zee Otoo said frankly after the game. "Nobody played tight defense against Ray Allen or Paul Pierce and they made us pay."

It's true. Ray Allen finished the first half with only six points, then scored 30 in the second half, only missing one shot the whole game. Paul Pierce was deadly and efficient as well. So was reserve Marquis Daniels. Rajon Rondo didn't score much, but killed the Domination in other ways, like grabbing five steals and dishing 20 assists. Another huge dagger from the Celtics: they went an unimaginable 34-for-34 from the free-throw line, just one off of the record set my the Miami Heat against the Celtics many years ago.

BOS: 25|54|89|125| Ray Allen: 36 points (11-12 FG%, 5-6 3P%, 9-9 FT%), 2 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 0 blocks, 1 turnover, 2 fouls
NCD: 31|51|85|109| Wilson Chandler: 24 points (10-20 FG%, 2-5 3P%, 2-3 FT%), 6 assists, 16 rebounds, 0 steals, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, 1 foul

--Game 4--

Domination Stay Afloat With A Win Despite Rondo's Near-Quadruple-Double

9 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds, and 8 steals. Rondo's breathtaking stats would have propelled the seventh-seeded Celtics to the Eastern Conference had Kevin Garnett not gotten injured in the second quarter. After Garnett and Mario West collided knees in the second quarter, both players limped to the bench. However, they went their separate ways. West played in the game just two minutes later, but Garnett limped toward the locker room, not to return. Rookie Grant Wheat was forced to play out of position at the power forward position, and played strong on defense, but was completely shut down by Tyson Chandler on offense. Stromile Swift was a non-factor and even Terrence Williams, despite standing only 6'5, played a couple minutes at the 4. Boston would miss Nick Collison more than ever tonight.

Jared Dudley scored 38, Shannon Brown went for nineteen, and Corey Harrington recorded a points-assists double-double. Dudley played more minutes at the 4 after Garnett's exit and was either quicker or taller than his opponents there. He and Ray Allen continued their scoring duel, Jared Dudley won again by 13, but they both shot 5-of-11 from outside. "Even if we lose this series, I can still say I beat Ray Allen in a three-point contest," Jared Dudley joked in post-game interview. "But seriously, I want to be leading that first team to come back from a 3-0 deficit."

BOS: 31|54|77|100| Rajon Rondo: 9 points (4-4 FG%, 0-0 3P%, 1-2 FT%), 10 assists, 9 rebounds, 8 steals, 0 blocks, 3 turnovers, 5 fouls
NCD: 22|43|76|108| Jared Dudley: 38 points (14-28 FG%, 5-11 3P%, 5-6 FT%), 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, 5 turnovers, 5 fouls

--Game 5--

Rondo Flirts With Quad-Double For Second Straight Game

But the Celtics lost again! Even with Rondo's enormous play, the Celtics fell by one to the Domination. "It's J-Dud beating Ray Ray, I'm tellin' ya!" Shannon Brown yelled into a microphone during a postgame interview about how the Domination were able to beat the Celtics with Rajon Rondo going nuts. Kevin Garnett was back, but Ray Allen was disappointing for Boston, only scoring 16 and only two threes. Meanwhile Dudley had 27 points with five threes. "That's just how I play, I take, and make, lots of threes." Threes are what won the game. Jared Dudley's three with 14 seconds left put them up by three. The Celtics couldn't come up with anything better than an attempt at the three-point play. Kendrick Perkins made a tough layup down low and was fouled by Tyson Chandler. Unfortunately for the Celtics, Perkins could not convert on the game-tying free throw. Jared Dudley found his eighth rebound and the game was over: the Domination had won by one.

Kevin Garnett was playing tight D, Paul Pierce was making shots whenever he felt like it, and Kendrick Perkins was a monster down low. Rondo was closing in on another close quadruple-double, but never made it, because he fouled out with two minutes left. "Even if you didn't make it all the way, it feels real nice to know you've nearly made history twice in a row. I want to be one of the only guys to get a quadruple-double." Rondo really wanted it and could have gotten it with the number of bad passes the Domination were making. They had more turnovers than any other team in the regular season, and had even more turnovers in the playoffs. Zee Otoo said it was the most important thing to work on in the offseason. And it is.

BOS: 34|58|69|98| Rajon Rondo: 12 points (4-12 FG%, 0-3 3P%, 4-6 FT%), 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 7 steals, 0 blocks, 5 turnovers, 5 fouls
NCD: 26|47|77|99| Jared Dudley: 27 points (11-16 FG%, 5-9 3P%, 0-0 FT%), 0 assists, 8 rebounds, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 3 turnovers, 3 fouls

--Game 6--

Celtics Wake Up, Eliminate North Carolina, Move On to Eastern Conference Finals

Jared Dudley was in a slump and tried to shoot his way out of it. It didn't work. He only scored eighteen points on 25 shots (16 threes). "Their defense was too strong," Dudley admitted after the game. "Ray Allen and Paul Pierce were draining shots again, and I was just left in the dust, I couldn't do anything about it. All I could do was foul." The whole Celtics' line-up was hot, all scoring double-digits except Rondo, who had a season-high 21 assists and six points. Though nowhere near his near-quadruple-double performances, Rondo said, "I'm just glad we got out of here. We're ready to face the Heat."

For the Domination, the season ends, and thankfully, another will begin.

BOS: 20|49|70|110| Rajon Rondo: 6 points (3-5 FG%, 0-0 3P%, 0-0 FT%), 4 rebounds, 21 assists, 0 blocks, 4 steals, 3 turnovers, 2 fouls
NCD: 37|59|79|103| Tyson Chandler: 22 points (10-18 FG%, 0-1 3P%, 2-5 FT%), 19 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 0 steals, 4 turnovers, 1 foul

(1) MIA Heat def. (5) PHI 76ers - - - 4-0
(7) BOS Celtics def. (6) NCD Domination - - - 4-2

Notes:

He again scored 54 points in Game 1 and his averages for the playoffs stand at 39.9 ppg, 11.3 rpg, and 2.0 bpg on 64% shooting from the field and 50% shooting from outside.
-Russell Westbrook recorded two triple-doubles in Games 4 and 5 of OKC's series against Denver, scoring at least 25 in both.
-The Dallas Mavericks beat the LA Lakers by an average of 19.25 points per game in the sweep. This included a 33-point thrashing in LA, in which Monta Ellis scored 37 and Kobe Bryant just 10.
-Kobe Bryant was held to sixteen points per game in Dallas's sweep of LA. Dirk Nowitzki tallied 25 in each game and Chris Paul recorded at least three steals in each game of the series, averaging 4.0 spg.
-LeBron James missed Games 1 and 4 of a sweep of the 76ers due to lingering ankle pain. He recorded near-triple doubles in the other two games and scored 44 in Game 3. He plans to undergo surgery in the offseason.
-Former Domination DeJuan Blair shot a spectacular 15-19 from the field in this series, averaging just over 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks, shooting over 75% from the field and sinking his third career three-pointer.
