Live06 | San Antonio Spurs

[Clutch]

RETRO aka 'Clutch' coming at you with a new profile name and new 'old' dynasty. I felt for a name change since 'Clutch' is tied strongly to my Rockets dynasty and their mascot; plus 'Retro' is more fitting since I'll be sticking with the PC Proj patch on Live '06 (I like the stats engine best) - definitely don't expect a showcase of flashy new graphics here lol

Also fitting, this dynasty will feature a non-flashy veteran team that rarely gets any lovin' but are intriguing to me nontheless - the San Antonio Spurs, an aging cast of dinosaurs with a few decent youngsters trying to make a final push and reclaim their former glory against a superior NBA Champion Conference rival... before Father Time catches up and wipes the team clean.

Anyway, we'll see where this goes, don't expect much, yadda yadda yadda... except for sporadic updates

[Martti.]

Why did you create a new user though? Could have just changed your user name.

Good luck, although I don't like the Spurs.

[Clutch]

thought about that but then it changes as well in my Rockets dynasty; just opted for a fresh start

not liking SAS is fine and in fact preferred at the start of a dynasty; i don't like the Bucks either but think you're doing a good job with them (it's mostly their ugly unis, just like Phoenix's ugly unis were driving me nuts)

now... what to do with Ginobili...

[Clutch]

damn it Martti. I forgot to reserve some spots and you already replied

[Clutch]

reserved

[Clutch]

reserved

[kibaxx7]

damn it Martti. I forgot to reserve some spots and you already replied

That's why I didn't reply before Don't trade Manu man, keep him as your 6th man

[Martti.]

Sorry man.

[dare]

Good Luck with the SAS dont trade Ginobili nobody will swat the bats if you trade him

[deihatein]

Don't trade Ginobili, just as dare said. A batswatter is needed for every team.

[Lamrock]

Don't like the decision to make a new account or decision to pick the Spurs, but I look forward to it nonetheless. Good luck

[Andrew]

Yeah, one account per user is actually one of the Forum rules.

[Clutch]

martti - no worries man;

dare/dei - i have Batman; wait til i recruit Robin (Lopez);

lamrock - thx for giving it a chance but it may not last;

andrew - OH SNAP honestly didn't even think about that! if this one's in violation, i'll shut her down asap (but would rather use this one and shut down 'Clutch' since i won't be returning to the Rockets); just lemme know what i should do andrew; i don't wanna be

[Fresh8]

Go back to Clutch and have Retro deleted.

[Clutch]

Go back to Clutch and have Retro deleted.

that sounds like the plan stan

sorry 'bout that andrew, you can go ahead and nuke the 'Retro' account; i'd hate to get screwed off the boards over a name change/2nd acct

[Fresh8]

Good to see you back as the real you.

[Clutch]

thx man, but 'Retro' was/is me just as 'Clutch' is/was 'Retro'... okay, i can see why a single acct is a good idea

FRaak! Spurs got no love except Batman fans... well i'd like to get a long-term dynasty off the ground again before this slight case of TH50 virus sticks to me (j/k Thierry )

here are teams interesting to me:

Spurs
Kings
Warriors
Heat
Blazers
Suns (FTA 3? egads)
Hornets
Magic

help me out with a quick vote guys; any would be fun to start

[Lamrock]

Spurs: lol no.
Kings: Would be a good choice. Their frontcourt sucks, but Tyreke is a beast, and Kevin Martin is fun to use.
Warriors: I'm doing them, and their abundance of talent would make them easy to rebuild in a video game
Heat: I really hate them, so I would vote against them.
Blazers: Would be great, though there are two associations with them going right now.
Suns: Third times a charm? Maybe, but you said that you don't like the jerseys, and it would suck redoing everything.
Hornets: Mediocre team with a superstar and a pair of solid frontcourt players. However, their front office really screwed the pooch and they would be a major challenge to rebuild.
Magic: Nah. Too good of a team.

Sacramento or New Orleans.

[Fresh8]

Stick with Spurs...

[dare]

Spurs or Hornets

[Valor]

Hornets

[Dee.]

Spurs.

[Kenny]

Stick with the Spurs. Either that or change to the Heat. There's some interesting players on that squad.

[Andrew]

sorry 'bout that andrew, you can go ahead and nuke the 'Retro' account; i'd hate to get screwed off the boards over a name change/2nd acct

No worries, you didn't sign up the second account to flame etc so it's not a major infraction.

[Clutch]

whew! thx Andrew

Kings would be fun with Tyreke, though not a fan of the Purple; love CP3 but their teal/yellow unis and arena induce dry heaving and seizures everytime i see them; Spurs seems to be frontrunning which i don't mind even if they are vanilla; at least i can stomach their simple Blk/Wht unis

just did a rebuild of my laptop and reinstalling stuff; should get something going soon
