[|"STAG"|] - 2nd Week of Dec. |!3 way Trade!|

[The X]

ahh a win....the bleeding stops

damn....Green is going well....but Reef appears to be your rock as I expected he probably would be....underrated 2nd fiddle like guy....

btw, Phillidelphia is spelt Philadelphia

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Glad to see you keeping it realistic, Marl... Those are some fine recaps and format, keep it up...

[-BHZMAFIA-]

It seems that you are forcing the shoes with Felton judging by the way he has been shooting the ball. Green continues to play well in the starting role so maybe you ought to make the PG switch that you was talking about since Felton isn't doing so well.

[Jugs]

Bad Luck on the Losses

Well Done on the Win

Keep up the good work.

[The X]

yep I was thinking same thing as Mafia....start TJ Ford

Yeah Reef is the go-to-guy, or Mason I guess, Green just seems to find ways to be in good position (showing maturity beyond a rookie)

Cheers for the spell check

Cheers man, good to see your enjoying it, and yeah it is realistic, and im actually having trouble winning.

Yeap, Felton has been stuggling a little, neither him or Ford are great shooters but Ford is better on D, so I think ill start Ford, he just had a great game off the bench, so his performance there has elevated him to the starting line-up.

Bad Luck on the Losses

Well Done on the Win

Keep up the good work.

Thanks man, ah the losses aint soo bad they keep my record realistic and make it more challenging.

At the start of the second Joe Smith went down with an arm injury,

Willie Green had 21 for the 76ers, while AI added 18 and 9 assists.


Green with the And 1, Iverson with the mistake.

Finding themselves down by 5 at the half, they managed to bring it back to 3 after the third.

Miller and Mobley led the Kings with 20 a piece.




November 26th: MILWAUKEE 104 @ PHOENIX 111

The Bucks tried to out run the Suns, but failed.
The Bucks came to Phoenix ready to face one of the fastest, and best long range teams.
The main stratergy was to let the Suns run, and force them into turnovers.
The plan worked as the Bucks led at the end of the first, also thanks to some great fast breaks.
At the half the Suns were up by 5, but the Bucks were still well in the game.
The pace quickend in the third, with Joe Johnson surpasing the 30point mark already,
and the Suns shooting well over 50% form downtown.
The Suns led 83-80 after 3 and the Bucks looked in position to take a come from behind win.
However it was Phoenix who made the comeback win, after letting the Buck make a 10 point lead,
they turned up the pace and started hitting everything and anything,
forcing the Bucks into needless turnovers and stupid shots.
The Bucks never looked like they were in the game from then on.

D-Mase was once again strong for the Bucks with 27 points, shooting well over 50%,
he also attacked the boards (11) aggresively, often mattched up with Marion.
Reef led the Bucks in scoring with 32, taking up the slack for Green,
who only scored 15 on 6-15 form the field.
Nash ran the Suns offense well with 30 points(12-22) and 7 assists,
he was helped by back court partner, Johnson, who racked up a nice
36 points(12-18) and 6 assists, shooting an amazing 10-12 from 3 point land.


Mason had many a high flying dunk in this fast paced game.

The Bucks arent out of the hard games yet, they have to play Seattle next.
Also they have not recorded under 10 steals in the last 4 games,
"Ive encoraged the boys to play a intense pace on D so they can get
those fast breask they seem to thrive on." Said Coach Porter after the Suns Game.

Record at end of week: 6-8

Tough Losses to tough teams in Kings and SUns... unlucky Mark!

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Grrr... another dynaster tormenting the poor Warriors.... maybe it's not that embedded code after all...

[Ruff Ryder]

Green looks like he's playing well.

[-BHZMAFIA-]

That was a pretty tough week. I really think you need to do something with your PG's because they aren't performing like they should. Luckily, Green, Mason and Rahim are playing well though.

Yeah they tough losses, I was almsot screaming in the Kings one when the foul was called.

Grrr... another dynaster tormenting the poor Warriors.... maybe it's not that embedded code after all...

Yeah well I intervened that one, and when I came in I think the Warriors might have been up, I was determined to win that game, no matter who it was, so your warriors were just unlucky

Green looks like he's playing well.

Yeah he is, hes shooting really well too, well over 50% a lot of the time.

That was a pretty tough week. I really think you need to do something with your PG's because they aren't performing like they should. Luckily, Green, Mason and Rahim are playing well though.

Yeah the PG's arent playing too well, im gonna start Ford for awhle, my problem is that i'm takning some silly shots with them (neither are shooting point guards).

Bucks Sign White

After the second game against the 76ers on the 20th,
Bucks management announced they had signed Foward Rodney White.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"Rodney has been brought in to cover the gap left by Joe's injury.
If he plays well he may be asked to stay with the team, but at this stage
he is on a limted contract" - Coach Terry Porter.


The Bucks hope white can provide some good hustle off the bench in Smiths absence

[Cloudy]

Wow, your screens and recaps are tight.
I love this pic:


What do you do to your pictures?

[Mark.]

Wow, your screens and recaps are tight.

Thanks man, youve got a real good dynasty too

What do you do to your pictures?

I just always use the same crop size, plus I make sure when I take the pic ingame, that the edges look smooth.

Also it helps to play round with sharpening the pic too
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm looking at doing a trade next month, it will msot likely involve Bobby Simmons, and either Strickland or Ford.

I dont really want to see Ford go but he may have to to make deals work, plus Ford and Felton are sorta the same player.

A few players I am looking at are:
Willie Green (But is there room for two Green's on one team?? )
Ronald Murray (Would have to trade Ford for him I think, but would provde great scoring off the bench)
Bonzi Wells (An small possibility, I dont think i'd be abel to work a trade though)
Stephen Jackson (Already a good 6th man, would be hard to get though)

Any other ideas would be welcome, im not gonna rush into a trade as Simmons aint playing bad, he just aint contributing the way a 6th man should.

[BOSS]

man i love this dynasty, nice pictures and well organized.

i think u should get stephan jackson. he can either be a starter or a bench type player. he always does good for me. he has great offense and defense. also u should look in to mickael pietrus. he is the same type of guy as jackson

Thanks man, Glad you like it, its good to see you've got one going.

Yeah I was look at Pietrus, but I dont think i'd be abel to get him, plus its not that fair, since hes got heaps of potential I would be ripping the Warriors off, and im sure DWeaver wouldn't like that

I'm sorta keen on Stephen Jackson, but i have plenty of swingmen, so my top option at the moment is Murray.

[Cloudy]

Noo! I'm not gonna let u take Stephen Jackson..he's my man

[Jugs]

You got a good signing with Rodney White ( i think he is still good )

I think you should try and trade for Murray, dont trade to many peoples for him

[The X]

Rodney White was a nice signing and should be a useful addition to your squad

you have some quality action pics there as well good to see you beat the teams that you should and struggle against the cream of the crop out West

[Ruff Ryder]

I think Bonzi would be a good addition if you can't get Jackson, but would Green go to the bench?

[Its_asdf]

Try getting Ronald Murray. He is my personal favourite out of the four, and he managed to prove himself as a good player although he was a nobody in his first season (I'm a sucker for those kind of success stories). At first I thought he was a bad player personality wise, but he's actually a pretty humble guy too. He would be a really good scorer and an ok defender off the bench and could probably even give you some time at the point guard position if your starting point guard was tired.

Good job on signing Rodney White by the way, I think that White has the potential to be a good player.

[-BHZMAFIA-]

As I told you before, I hope you go after Tony Allen and maybe Delonte West, but if you don't want that then you should go after Murray. I wouldn't mind seeing you give up Ford and Simmons for Allen and West though because I like those two.

[Mark.]

Noo! I'm not gonna let u take Stephen Jackson..he's my man

Don't worry I can see a Jackson trade going through.

You got a good signing with Rodney White ( i think he is still good )

I think you should try and trade for Murray, dont trade to many peoples for him

Yeah White is a solid player off the bench,

Ive looked quite a lot into Murray, basically I'd have to give up Simmons and Ford, Might alos make it a three way trade, cos Id like to send Simmons somewhere he can start.

Rodney White was a nice signing and should be a useful addition to your squad

you have some quality action pics there as well good to see you beat the teams that you should and struggle against the cream of the crop out West

Yeah White has played pretty well in the last few games in limited minutes, Yeah I seem to lose to the right teams.

I think Bonzi would be a good addition if you can't get Jackson, but would Green go to the bench?

Bonzi is my second option after Murray (remember, im trying to make all the teams win in the trade as much as possible) so he may be a bit harder to get.
If I did get him he would be a 6th man as thats what im trying to upgrade, Green would still start.

Try getting Ronald Murray. He is my personal favourite out of the four, and he managed to prove himself as a good player although he was a nobody in his first season (I'm a sucker for those kind of success stories). At first I thought he was a bad player personality wise, but he's actually a pretty humble guy too. He would be a really good scorer and an ok defender off the bench and could probably even give you some time at the point guard position if your starting point guard was tired.

Good job on signing Rodney White by the way, I think that White has the potential to be a good player.

Yeah Murray is my first option, I think I will go that way unless I can get a good trade for Wells.

Yeah I got a good bench player in White plus he could improve throughout the season, and future

As I told you before, I hope you go after Tony Allen and maybe Delonte West, but if you don't want that then you should go after Murray. I wouldn't mind seeing you give up Ford and Simmons for Allen and West though because I like those two.

Yeah well thing is I dont wana get two combo guards (or in this case a Combo and a SG) cos then I would have Strickland and those two.

It is a possibility but I think I would include Strickland as well.

[Mark.]

Huge update coming tonite, or maybe tomorrow morning.

Including Last week of November, November Issue of STAG, first week of Dec, Prediction Challenge, and a trade as well.

I cant promise when it will be ready but its coming.
