Indiana Pacers - [20-7 - Rockets + Nuggets + Bulls Recap]

[Anthony15]

Great win man! Indy is lookin good!

[Jugs]

You should switch Ronnie with Peja for added effect.

Good win nonetheless.

leave me alone about Artest

Shiettt .. ur team went buckwild against the Jazz. Good shit pimp.

I intervened in the 1st quarter to get some pics and I felt like playing more than 2 quarters and the game was already won..

Jugs, I want to have your babies for starting Granger.

Yeah, take them. Granger is quite a nice player.

Great win Jugs Keep it up man... that Granger dunk is amazing.

Thanks, yeah what happened was Granger went up for the dunk and I was trying to take a screen and then something went crazy and it would only rewind back to where he was hanging off the rim, so i took the screen of it there.

Great win man! Indy is lookin good!

Of course, they're my team

Jamal Tinsley wants out of Indianapolis

November 15th, 2005

Indiana Pacers' Point Guard, Jamal Tinsley, has told his teammates and GM Larry Bird that he wants to be traded to another team. Jamal Tinsley stated that he feels like he is being misused on his team and should be receiving more playing time than rookies Sarunas Jasikevicius and Danny Granger.


I want out: Jamal Tinsley feels like he is not needed on the team anymore.

Rick Carlisle, "Well, we're obviously disappointed about Jamal's (Tinsley) decision to leave the Pacers, but it is what ever is best for him. If he wants more playing time, than he can get more playing time."
Jermaine O'Neal, "(Jamal) Tinsley was a good friend of mine, it is sad that he wants to leave at such an early point of the season. I wish him the best of luck."

Jamal Tinsley has been averaging 12.4ppg and 4.6apg so far this season. There have been not many rumours as of yet, but Cleveland and Atlanta have said that they have contacted the Pacers franchise regarding Jamal Tinsley.

Jamal Crawford out for 3 weeks

November 17th, 2005.

New York Knicks' guard Jamal Crawford has broken his wrist and will be out of action for the next 3 weeks. In a game against the Orlando Magic, Jamal Crawford went up for the jump-shot and Mario Kasun came storming out of nowhere and clobbered Jamal onto the ground and broke Jamal Crawford's wrist.

Jamal Crawford scored 15 points and dished out 5 assists in the victory against the Magic. His teammate Stephon Marbury scored 45 points, grabbed 7 boards and dished out 9 assists in the 101-85 victory. Antonio Davis also had a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Tracy McGrady out

November 22nd, 2005

Houston star forward, Tracy McGrady has recieved bone spurs in his ankle and will miss the next two weeks. Not much has been released about the injury but it happened in the final quarter with 3 minutes left in the game in a win against the New York Knicks. A defensive mishap occured and Yao Ming ended up landing on Tracy McGrady's foot and hurting it badly. Tracy McGrady has been averaging 38.2ppg, 10.4rpg, 6.8apg, 2spg and 1.40 bpg in 10 games. This injury will hurt the Rockets for the next 2 weeks as his been their most dominate player as of this date.

Nice stuff Jugs, I like how you cover whats going on around the league. Man there is a heap of players that would look good on your team from the Hawks, try get Salim in there somehow

[killer_cr0ss0ver]

poor tinsley. pretty complete guy, can steal and can pass..

[Cable]

Nice job with the recaps and league info, it's done real well

I'd trade Tinsley for a reliable back-up C/F, most teams want a PG and you could always throw in one of your C who doesn't play.
Let's see you come up with a name for me

[Anthony15]

trade Tinsley for Camby!

[Jugs]

Nice stuff Jugs, I like how you cover whats going on around the league. Man there is a heap of players that would look good on your team from the Hawks, try get Salim in there somehow

Thanks, yeah most dynastys are revolved around their own team, because it is a one team dynasty, but I feel like getting my article writing skills up so I decided to do some articles about other things.
I might try and get Salim but I don't wanna change my team too much, i have more of a 1 for 1 trade in my mind, but i'll look at other possibilities.

poor tinsley. pretty complete guy, can steal and can pass..

Yeah I liked him too but I don't like him, if you know what I mean.....

Nice job with the recaps and league info, it's done real well

I'd trade Tinsley for a reliable back-up C/F, most teams want a PG and you could always throw in one of your C who doesn't play.

SECRET!!

Thanks, your dynasty is good to with the synagogue thing or whatever its called (forgotten)

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I use Granger and Harrison as back-up C and PF's, both being young and potentialful, but i have to give them some more time, even though Granger is ripping it.

trade Tinsley for Camby!

I'll try and figure out a fair trade, I have my cap at 100mil but i want to do a fair salary trade.. but that'll make the Nuggets have 3 PG's

Maybe include Artest in the package for Dre

[Laxation]

why is your cap @ 100m?
good luck with the trade, too

[Cable]

Cause he's a fucking cheater, that's why

[kibaxx7]

Tinsley out of Indy? wow.

[Ruff Ryder]

Trade him to New York for Q-Rich or Jamal Crawford or someone.

[DREeaZy06]

when i read the title i thought u were talkin about another star lol

good luck with the tinsley trade, get something good in return

and great job on the dynasty thus far

check my knicks dynasty, click the sig, and dont get crawford or q rich since u already have Jack

[Fresh8]

stevie! stevie! stevie!

Indiana Pacers dream start continues wonderfully in Minnesota

November 22nd, 2005

Boxscores
Indiana Pacers | Minnesota

Minneapolis, MN (Ticker) Jermaine O'Neal scores a season high of 31 points and also grabs a season high of 16 rebounds as the Pacers scraped through a close victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The first quarter was quite a high scoring and even battle which was lead by Wally Szczerbiak and Austin Croshere. In the second quarter, Croshere lost all momentum so Jermaine O'Neal stood up and stuck his team into the lead. O'Neal grabbed 6 rebounds in the quarter and 2 blocks. The Pacers ended the quarter ahead 62-55.

Kevin Garnett decided to step up in his own way by grabbing boards, dishing out assists and a few dunks. Total dominance by him and the crowd was behind their home team. The Timberwolves ended up putting the scores all square at 87 a piece at 3 quarter time. Enter the S-Jax. The fourth quarter saw Stephen Jackson show off his clutchiness, scoring 12 of the last 14 points of the game for the Pacers, including 5-5 free throws to win the game for his team. The final score, 110-106.

Larry Bird, "I just love clutch basketball, great job by Stephen Jackson and also great to see Jermaine O'Neal in form tonight with season highs in points and rebounds."
Eddie Griffin, "I just couldn't handle Jermaine (O'Neal) tonight, I was quite dissappointed. It was unlucky that we lost this, kudos to Stephen Jackson."

The Indiana Pacers move to 7-1 in the year, including 6-1 on the road. The team heads back to Indianapolis tommorow to play their second only home game against the Philadelphia 76ers who are currently 6-4 this season.

[KIG1]

[BOSS]

Nice Win.
Jermaine did good. I like those numbers. He even popped a three.
Jackson did good off the bench.

Maybe trade Tinsley for a PF/C ?

Good luck next win.

[Jugs]

why is your cap @ 100m?
good luck with the trade, too

Cause he's a fucking cheater, that's why

Its so i can have some sort of a mid level exception/10 day contract etc..

Yeah, goodbye

Trade him to New York for Q-Rich or Jamal Crawford or someone.

Nice Win.
Jermaine did good. I like those numbers. He even popped a three.
Jackson did good off the bench.

Maybe trade Tinsley for a PF/C ?

Good luck next win.

Thanks, yeah the 3 was flukey

Thats what im thinking of, i have Artest and Sarunas looked in the backcourt, and Granger and O'Neal in the front, Croshere isn't enough, but i could play Granger at PF and S-Jax at SG and Artest at SF, thats a good line-up.

[The X]

HOLY FUCKEN SHIT, I MADE AN UPDATE!

Looks like Sarunas is having a go at Marko....look at Sarunas' facial expression

Tinsley out, Gooden in

November 24th, 2005

Indianapolis, IN - GM Larry Bird has informed ESPN and nba.com that point guard Jamal Tinsley has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for power forward Drew Gooden. Drew Gooden has been averaging 11.9ppg and 10.2 rbpg in 12 starts for the Cavs but the Cleveland management decided they needed a pass first type point guard and found Jamal Tinsley, who averaged 12.4ppg and 4.6apg in 7 games.

Drew Gooden will wear number 90 for the Pacers and will most likely be starting Power Forward above Austin Croshere.


Above: Drew Gooden finishing strongly during practice

Drew Gooden is expected to play tomorrow against the Dallas Mavericks in the last game of the month for the Pacers.

[zmac]

A Jugs dynasty I havent been here before have I?

Nice trade, Gooden is a nice asset .

[kibaxx7]

Tough loss and nice trade Jugs Drew will do great.

[KIG1]

oohhhh nice trade, what a steal

[Jugs]

HOLY FUCKEN SHIT, I MADE AN UPDATE!

Game Pictures

Looks like Sarunas is having a go at Marko....look at Sarunas' facial expression

funny look, that's why i took it.

Nice win man Make more updates.

Good to see you back, yeah I'm doing some to lead up to my school holidays (already because of commonwealth games ) and thats when updates will be loaded (loaded as in heaps).

A Jugs dynasty I havent been here before have I?

Nice trade, Gooden is a nice asset .

I think you've posted in it before, you probably forgot due to lack of updates

Yeah, my trade was a homer one, I love Gooden, hate Tinsley.

Tough loss and nice trade Jugs Drew will do great.

Glad you like the trade.

oohhhh nice trade, what a steal

It was a steal salary wise as I'm not stuck with Tinsley's long contract but the trade makes Cavs stronger with a good passing Point Guard who could probably help LeBron and Hughes.
