Recaps for last week of November


November 29th: SEATLE 109 @ MILWAUKEE 94

When your team only assists on 18 Field goals, more often than not you will lose.

Thats the lesson the Bucks learnt against the sharp shooting Sonics.
While the Sonics didnt do so well on assists either, it was the Bucks who suffered most,
Milwakee's offense (which relies on accurate passes to get quick open shots)
was basically no existent throughout the whole game.
The Bucks played inconsistantly once again, which seems to be building them a bad rep.

D-Mase once again led the Bucks, but he only put up 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Ray Allen dropped 24 and had 9 boards for Seattle who out rebounded the Bucks 56-45.

Three dissapointed faces after tonights loss


November 30th: DENVER 88 @ MILWAUKEE 101

McCants had a big night, but ex-teammate's, Felton, team won.

McCants had his first 30 point outing of his young career, but Felton was better in the 4th.
Using his expolsivness and great vision, Felton created some key runs in the 4th.
Coupling with D-Mase, Felton put on a great show in the 4th, making some great passes,
which ended in big dunks (for both Mason and Felton)

The Bucks shot decently from the field but couldn't seem to hit any layups
throughout until Felton and Mason ignited the fastbreak in the 4th.

Green had an off night on the shooting end going 5-15 for only 13 points
Mason was again big with 28 points 9 boards and 6 assists.
Felton had 18 points and 5 assists in only 18 minutes (10 in the 4th)

McCants shot 12-23 for his 30, also nothing up 4 steals.
K-Mart toyed with a triple doublt with 18 points 12 boards and 7 assists.

McCants won the scoring battle but it was Felton who was big in the 4th


Record at end of week: 7-9

Recap for first week of December


December 2nd: MILWAUKEE 112 @ NEW ORLEANS 94

4 players with 20 or more points was good enough for the win.

The Bucks forced the Hornets into some early fouls, and utilised the Fast Break well in the first.
8 steals and 10 fastbreaks points resulted in the Bucks leading 34-19 after 1.
The Hornets came back in the next quarter but the Bucks stayed calm and didnt give up much lead.
The 3rd saw D-Mase score 14 in the quarter, stretching the lead out again.
A late collapse in the third saw some of the good work wasted but the lead was still big.
The 4th was strong and even though the gap stayed the same, the Bucks scrubs played well.

Felton was the key to this win using his intensity to push the Bucks offense.
Felton ended with 22 points 7 assists and 4 steals, while shooting 9-19.
Green was impressive with 26 points on 10-14 with 5 boards 6 assists and 5 steals
GP came bakc to his former glory with 36 points and 5 assists on 15-24 shooting.


Image
Felton had 3 big dunks on the break,
he seems to be finding a spot in the highlights on quite a regular basis



Record at end of week: 8-9

To find a interesting way to add NLSC players to my dynasty, I decided to use the same method as DWeaver, but on a larger basis.


Image

Concept:
Predictions will be placed on various events during the dynasty.
There will be the regular prediction which will be predicting the record that the Bucks will have for each month.

There will also be other events such as playoff outcomes, All Star weekend winners etc.

There will be 5 NLSC Ballers who get in each season, so the 5 Ballers with the most points at the end of the regular season will get to be in the draft (Playoff predicitions will count for the following season.)

The Official leaderboard will be here but I will post an up-to-date one at the start of each month or event.

Here are the rules for the first challenge: The Number of Wins the Bucks will get in December


Rules:
:arrow: Participants can predict the record at anytime during the month.
:arrow: However as each week is posted the amount of point that your prediction can get will decrease. ie if you make your prediction before the first week recap and guess the exact number you could win 12 points, however if you make your prediction before the second week recap (after the first week one) and guess the exact number you would only win 10 points.
:arrow: Warning will be given approx a day before the next weekly recap.
:arrow: Points are given in the following order (note that the first week recap has already been posted)
  • Prediction placed after 1st week:
    • exact score = 10 points.
    • one win off = 8 points.
  • Prediction placed after 2nd week:
    • exact score = 8 points.
    • one win off = 6 points.
  • Prediction placed after 3rd week:
    • exact score = 6 points.
    • one win off = 4 points.
  • Prediction placed after 4th week:
    • exact score = 4 points.
    • one win off = 2 points.
:arrow: New Rule!! My mate just pointed this out. Once you bet your cant bet again later or change your bet. SO be careful when you choose when to bet.


Leaderboard:

How to bet:
Make your prediction, then I will record it here just so everyone can keep track easily.

Sorry I forgot, there are 15 games in December.



Predictions:
  • After Week one Recap
    • facey = 9-6
    • gezus = 10-5
    • Batman© = 10-5
    • -[TD]- = 8-7
    • Magadag25 = 9-6
    • The X = 9-6
    • D-Wolverine 99027 = 9-6
    • Sit = 11-4
    • CB4 = 11-4
    • preston19 = 10-5

Sorry no update yet guys, I was bit sick yesterday and after the Rugby on saturday and the drinking that ensued it wasnt really up to it the next day.

I'm supprised that you all are making your bets after the first week, you do realise that you cant make a bet after the second week now?
