Tuomas' 07 Nets / Week 4 update ! May 16th

Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:45 am

    Image

    Image

    Ok here I go, starting a dynasty for 07, which I have wanted to do for a while. Thanks to Andrew and the
    SUM team to make the game playable.
    This dynasty will feature the New Jersey Nets starting the 2007-2008 season. I've simmed this season and
    the playoffs, included the 07 Draft mod in dynasty and will be starting this dynasty from the start of the
    07-08 season.
    I will report this dynasty with weekly updates due to the fact that the dynasty is limited to 82 games. I'll
    play one game per week, sometimes intervene, sometimes playing a full game.

    New Jersey Nets heading for next season

    The New Jersey Nets had a mediocre regular season in 06-07 and were eliminated in the second
    round of the playoffs by the Miami Heat in six games. Heat went to repeat their championship
    fueled by Shaq Diesel, who won the finals MVP with 27.0ppg, as the Heat won the Suns 4-2.

    The draft lottery mixed up the a lot of teams' plans as the Seattle Supersonics used the #1 pick
    for Kevin Durant and the Los Angeles Lakers were awarded the second pick, which they naturally
    used for Greg Oden, it will be interesting to see how far the Lakers are able to go with their current
    lineup. The Nets used their picks for Sean Williams (C - Boston College) and Sean Singletary (PG - Virginia).

    The offseason provided no big news, except Josh Howard signing a contract with the Charlotte
    Bobcats to leave the Mavericks, who lost to Phoenix in the Western Conference semifinals. The Nets
    made contract extensions with Vince Carter but lost Mikki Moore and Clifford Robinson, latter to
    retirement. Apparently fishing got the better of him in comparison to begin a new season under a
    new, determened and hungry GM. The only new face the Nets were available to sign was PF Loren
    Woods with a minimum contract. It's pretty obvious that he can't solve the team's post problems.
    With a few days to opening tip, the Nets still haven't announced their roster for this season opening
    night.

    Here are the players who decided to hang their sneakers and head for the golf courses:

nice dynasty star you are in the list

Mon Apr 23, 2007 9:39 am

Wow this is going to be a great one. Already a sick presentation. This is going to be great, I'm excited to see how Oden does in L.A. I'm also waiting to see who you drafted.

Mon Apr 23, 2007 9:42 am

looks like a great start...i know you'll make it awesome (Y)

    [ Bulls Boxscore ][ Nets Boxscore ]

    Player Of The Game : Vince Carter (New Jersey Nets)

    The Nets had control of the game all game long. With Ben Wallace missing easy shots and no-one else but
    Ben Gordon providing consistent offense, the Bulls fell behind early. Vince Carter was spectacular on this
    opening night dunking and shooting his way to Player Of The Game Honors. Nenad Krstic was also great
    getting a double double grabbing boards and working it inside getting Big Ben into foul trouble early on.

    Hey, what's up... this is Reggie Noble and I'll be giving you some commentary for Nets' home games straight here
    from Brick City. Right now my man Vince Carter is ripping it, dropping 36 on the Bulls and 38 on the Cavaliers.
    Seems like this is going to be the season we've been waiting for. But what's up with Luol Deng? That guy has to
    bring it next ime he visits us, seven points ain't gonna give much to his team.

    Nets trade for Wilcox

    The league office confirmed this trade on October 28th, right after the Bulls - Nets game, that will bring
    Wilcox's freakish athletism to New Jersey. In exchange the Sonics get veteran big man Jason Collins and
    rookie point guard Sean Singletary.

    * Please post your opinions on which game should be played for next update

Mon Apr 23, 2007 11:34 am

Thanks for the kind words everyone, here is the first update, plus I added the rookie names I drafted and the current team roster (1st post).

Mon Apr 23, 2007 11:50 am

Damn... Nice first recap. I'll definitely follow even though I pretty much hate everyone on the Nets.

Mon Apr 23, 2007 12:10 pm

Wow this update was amazing. If you keep this up at a steady rate this could become one of the best dynasties of the year. I think you should post the recap against the Heat for next week. Good luck and great job (Y) .

Mon Apr 23, 2007 12:21 pm

very nicely done, great graphics (Y) (Y) (Y)

Looks great Tuomas man. Nice looking graphics and presentation.

Mon Apr 23, 2007 10:09 pm

Great dynasty...I love the presentation :shock:

I think you should play vs the Heat....

Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:10 am

The headings rock!!

Great dynasty! Nice weekly presentation.

(Would you be nice to do me also such nice headings? If yea, contact me via PM!)

Good Luck!

Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:46 am

Thanks for the great feedback... seems like against Heat it will be.

Tue Apr 24, 2007 1:49 am

Oh wow. Tuomas, this is sick. Probably the best recap style I have ever seen. Your screens look fantastic and the headers make everything look so damn nice. Cool Redman feature (Y)

To be honest I spent a few minutes just staring at all the visuals before reading the recap. Niiiice stuff.

:shock:

Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:27 am

so far its great i'll follow

Tue Apr 24, 2007 10:53 am

If I recall correctly, the Nets are (or at least they were) pursuing Wilcox, so the trade itself isn't too far fetched. Good work on acquiring a much needed big man for someone that creates a log jam at the point guard spot.

Edit: Almost forgot to say sweet dynasty.

    Current team record : 6-2

    New Jersey Nets - Toronto Raptors : 88-87 (W)
    New Jersey Nets - Atlanta Hawks : 87-77 (W)
    New Jersey Nets - Orlando Magic : 106-119 (L)
    New Jersey Nets - Miami Heat : 105-111 (L) - Game Recap Below

    Player Of The Game : Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat)

    New Jersey controlled the game through first three quarters and started the last one with success from the
    perimeter. After that Dwyane Wade took over, scoring at will with two and three defenders around him. At
    this point both Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Wilcox had fouled out, the latter had a great game. Vince Carter
    kept the Nets within four battling with Wade but as the team missed their final chances to tie it with 1:30
    left, Miami had no problem closing the game, as they had all the momentum and the crowd on their side.

    Williamson signs with New Jersey

    Corliss Williamson signed a one year contract with the league minimum salary to join the surging Nets.
    He is expected to bring leadership and some toughness to the Nets' lineup.



    Image

    The injury bug has bite several teams. Here are players that have been placed on the inactive list during
    the week.

    Antoine Wright - New Jersey Nets
    Ricky Davis - Minnesota Timberwolves
    Jermaine O'Neal - Indiana Pacers
    Andrew Bogut - Milwaukee Bucks
    Adam Morrison - Charlotte Bobcats



    Image

    As two weeks of NBA Basketball has been played, there has been some surprises. Let's take a look at
    some of the best and worse records from around the league.

    6-1 : Los Angeles Clippers
    7-2 : Charlotte Bobcats
    6-2 : New Jersey Nets
    5-2 : San Antonio Spurs
    6-3 : Cleveland Cavaliers

    The two best teams are the most surprising, since neither of these teams did good last season and
    neither of them made any significant offseason moves, so it can be presumed that all things have been
    clicking with them.

    0-7 : Los Angeles Lakers
    0-5 : Atlanta Hawks
    1-5 : Golden State
    1-4 : Washington Wizards
    1-3 : New York Knicks

    Atlanta has been on the bottom of the standings for years and the other teams have had to face some
    top opponents, but the Los Angeles Lakers, who were one of the media favourites right from the start,
    have had a miserable start. With a lineup of Greg Oden, Lamar Odom and Kobe Bryant, it would be an
    unexpected catastrophe if this will continue.

    * Please post your opinions on which game should be played for next update
    ** Sorry for the lack of boxscores on the part of simulated games. I'm still new to Live 07 dynasty
    gameplay.


    I decided to add even more stuff to this dynasty. From now on I hope that some of the most
    loyal readers will take part in this. Before every update, make predictions on next weeks'
    record, if there's four games, just post a 3-1 for example. For every win you get one point
    and if you get all right, one extra point. At some point I will reward the winner somehow,
    I'm still working on that part :lol:

    So please make predictions for next week if you want to take part (Y) That is all for this
    week's update.

Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:48 pm

ill say 2-2 and play the Nuggets

Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:50 pm

Predict. :

(Rec = 2-2)

-Vs- Nuggets : W
-Vs - Clippers - L (Their record.)
-Vs- Suns - L (They're the Suns.)
-Vs- Blazers - W

EDIT : Oh, and I think you should play the Nuggets.

--------------------------

Great start for you. I really love your presentation. I think it's the best I've seen in a a dynasty.

It's funny :

Week 2 - All road games.
Week 3 - All home games.

Goood Luck woth this!
