Lebron Drops 25 As Heat Win Opener




Ray Allen scored 38 points for the new-look Celtics against the new-look Heat in a losing effort as Miami earned its first win of the season.

"You know, it was a hard game. We went out there with the game plan for anyone but Lebron James to beat us. Ilgauskas certainly helped their cause scoring 18 points," coach Doc Rivers told the Boston media "Both teams played really hard and Ray was amazing. He really kept us in the game."

Newly acquired Celtics Danny Granger and David Lee pitched in as well as Granger scored 24 points and Lee scored 12, but both had some shooting troubles in the Garden. Granger shot 4-11 from behind the 3-point line while Lee was 6-16 from the field.

"I don't think it was first game jitters, I think it was just trying to adjust to some things. A brand new offense, brand new teammates, sometimes you just get lost in the shuffle a little." - Danny Granger

Granger was shooting well in the first quarter, scoring the team's first 10 points, but then had to go to the bench for most of the second half after picking up two quick fouls.

"Yeah it was tough having Danny on the bench," said Rivers "Those two fouls really hurt us and he wasn't able to get back into a groove because of all the time he was sitting on the bench. It's only one game against quite possible the best team in the East. Tomorrow we'll look at tape and move on, I'm not to worried."

Lebron James dropped 25 points in his Heat debut while Chris Bosh recorded a double double (23 points, 14 rebounds). Dwayne Wade had a quiet game, shooting 5-14 from the field and scoring 14 points.

The Celtics will travel to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers on October 27.

Notes: This is Rajon Rondo's 6th time in his career he's had 15+ assists. The last time he did this was 2009-2010 season...Shaq scored his first points as a Celtic tonight but had some trouble at the free throw line shooting 2-6.

Pierce, Perkins In New Homes

- BOSTON, MA

It didn't take long for new Celtics General Manager Greg Ezell to trim away some years on this roster.

"I came in here knowing I had an aging roster. This team needed to get younger without risking it's chance to contend in the East. I feel that these moves made the Celtics a perennial championship team this year and for many years to come."


Granger will bring youth as well as scoring to the Celtics

The first trade saw Paul Pierce and Nate Robinson heading to Indianapolis for Danny Granger and James Posey. Pierce, who re-signed with the Celtics in the off-season, has only played for the Celtics his entire career.

"Paul's a great guy, but like I said, it's about making this team younger."

The 34 year old Pierce waived his no-trade clause under frustration. The 27 year old Danny Granger will more than likely lead the Celtics in scoring as he averaged 24.1 points in the 2009-2010 season.

"Danny will provide some youth while keeping up the scoring needed with Paul's departure. He's a solid player as his James Posey."



David Lee will bang the boards and start at center for the Celtics

An hour or so after that trade happened, Ezell sent Kendrick Perkins and newly signed Jermaine O'Neal to Golden State for David Lee, a 2011 2nd round pick and a 2012 second round pick.

Lee signed a 6 year, $79.54M deal with the New York Knicks in a sign and trade to Golden State.

"David will start for us at center. Last season he averaged a double-double (20 points, 12 rebounds) and will allow us to do things on the floor that couldn't be done before. We haven't had a center like him since 'Chief' (Robert Parrish)."

The starting 5 for the Celtics looks like this:


The Celtics will open up the season at the TD Bank Garden against the Miami Heat and it's Big 3.

After a disappointing loss in the NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 7, a game that the Celtics had dominated up until the final 2 minutes, Wycliffe "Wyc" Grousbeck promoted Danny Ainge to President of Basketball Operations, thus leaving the General Manager position available.

Quote:
"We felt that Danny would be perfect for the role as President of Basketball Operations. With his insight and knowledge of the game, he will be able to not only teach our new General Manager the in's and out's of the NBA but also serve in a multitude of other roles" - Wyc Grousbeck
With the promotion of Ainge, the Boston Basketball Partners LLC (which Grousbeck is a part of) hired 27 year old Greg Ezell as their new General Manager. Ezell's pedigree comes at the college level where he coached Syracuse for three years, twice going to the NCAA Tournament.

Quote:
"Yeah he's a young guy, but there's nothing wrong with that. Like I said, we feel that Danny will be able to teach Greg the ins and outs of the NBA in a short amount a time. (Greg) worked well with the kids from 'Cuse and we feel he'll make a good edition to Celtics management" - Wyc Grousbeck
Ezell signed a 3 year contract and terms were not disclosed per team policy.

Quote:
I'm ready to take the team that Danny built and continue the dominance this team has shown for the past few years. Last season we were five minutes away from winning a second title in three years and while the Big 3 are in town, I expect championships. Boston has always been a great basketball city and this will be no different. We have the talent, drive and leadership to beat anyone in the East. Don't forget who the real Big 3 are.
Ezell will have the task to manage a roster that has five players (3 starters) who are past or nearing their 15th season in the NBA. Ray Allen (14), Kevin Garnett (15), Paul Pierce (12) and new comers Shaquille O'Neal (18) and Jermaine O'Neal (14) make up the oldest roster in the NBA with an average age of 34 years old.

SEASON UNDERWAY IN NEW JERSEY
Nets host Pistons; Open Season with win

Prudential Center -- The New Jersey Nets like most teams during the offseason were vying to capture the King, LeBron James to their team in quest of an NBA title.

We all know where he landed and frankly for the New Jersey Nets they are not going to hold that against LeBron. Did they want him? Sure who doesn't want whom many believe is the best player in the NBA today.

Nets and new Head Coach Avery Johnson didn't let the signing of LeBron to Miami stopped them from getting a hold of some key free agents.

With the Detroit Pistons paying a visit to the Prudential Center, Devin Harris and company were ready to open this season after coming off of one that after the end of last season was already forgotten.

This game was not your high scoring affair as the Nets and the Pistons were sluggish from the floor in the first half. New Jersey would take a lead in the second with an 8-0 run that would end up being the difference at the half.


Richard "Rip" Hamilton finds his way through Nets' defenders.

In the second half the Nets picked up where they left off. They outscored Detroit 43 to 34 to take the 72 to 60 win.

Brook Lopez led the way for the Nets starting his season off on the right track with a double-double. 19 points and 12 rebounds.

Point guard Devin Harris would get into foul trouble but would end up with a solid game, 11 points and 7 assists.

With the win the Nets are off to a 1-0 start and look to continue with Tyreke Evans and the Sacramento Kings coming to town.

V-Mart didn't buy his arm from K-Mart, as he gunned down the runner, from his knees!


Marco Scutaro didn't mind getting dirty in today's game, as he made a nice diving play here!


El Capitan is starting to warm at the plate, as he hits his 3rd home run on the season.


Sir Lancelot rides to the rescue! C'est lui! C'est lui! Lance Berkman had no fear playing in his first Rivalry game, as he belts a home run!


In a tight contest, Yankees beat Red Sox.

A crowd of 52,325 fans at Yankee Stadium went home happy last night, as they saw their Yankees pull out a close 8-6 win over the Red Sox.

Lance Berkman went 2-for-4, belted a home run, and drove in 2 runs to pace the offense.

Roy Oswalt worked 5 and a third innings, giving up 4 runs and 7 hits, but it was enough for him to earn the win.

Mariano Rivera notched his 10th save of the season -- extending his consecutive saves streak to 10 in the process.

Phil Hughes (1-0, 3.29) and Clay Buchholz (1-2, 4.23) are the scheduled starters for the series finale, as the Yankees look to sweep the visiting Red Sox out of New York tonight.

Mark Teixeira looks to build on his 16-game hitting streak.

The Yankees acquired Carl Crawford from the Rays for LF Randy Winn, RP Damaso Marte and RP Boone Logan.

BLOOMINGTON - New IU coach answered the state’s questions Saturday with IU's convincing 73-7 victory over FCS Northwest in Memorial Stadium. For both teams, this was their first game of the season.

“I think we played more as a team today than we have in the past,” running back Darius Willis said. “We believe that when we’re on the same page and play with the intangibles that Indiana football is built on like discipline, toughness, execution, everybody being accountable of their job and everybody being supportive of their teammates, that we’re real tough to beat if we’re all on the same page.”
Indiana started off with a solid 68-yard drive that resulted in a 1 yd Willis TD run. Then when FCS NW got the ball back, they quickly turned an opening drive into a 31 yd pick 6 by Beckum.

“I think third and whatever to get out of the gates there with defensive points really set the tone for the remainder of the game," head coach Robb Reed said. “That was a huge play in the game, especially early in the game.”

Indiana started off the second quarter with Mitchel Evans first touchdown reception of the season, and only minutes later, the Hoosiers were on the board for the fourth time with a Freeland 30 yd FG.

After linebacker Leon Beckum scooped up a fumble by the QB, his second defensive score of the game, the Hoosiers knew the remaining minutes would be used to try out some new formations for the Pistol in hopes of preparing for a successfull Big Ten season.

FCS managed one TD, a 30 yd pass to a streaking TE in the redzone, which cut the lead to 52, but that was all the lights they'd put on the board this evening.

“I think it’s always important to be able to start fast,” Reed said. “You want to finish strong, which we were able to do today. We started fast in the game, and that was good.”
On the defensive side, Thomas and Finch led the way in solo tackles with 5. In total tackles, Beckum had seven, with an INT and Fumble recovery. Black Jr. had the only sack of the game too. In two weeks, the Hoosiers travel to Bowling Green, KY. to take on the Hilltoppers. Willis said the opening game will give the team momentum going on the road for the first time this season.
“I think it helps definitely because we should be proud of the way we played today,” he said. “We beat a team we were supposed to beat out there today, but we still have lots of room for improvement in all aspects of our game.”

In a game which Tampa recorded a season high 7 sacks, senior defensive tackle Sheldon Carr lead the way with three of them.

Excellent efforts at the line of scrimmage from both the offense and defense keep Vanderbilt's scoring chances stuck on the bench, as Tampa absolutely dominated the the time of possession and recorded excellent yards per carry numbers from all of its rushers.

Hello everybody,

I've recently decided to dive into the Association mode on this game. I've played on each of the past years but never really charted my progress. Here I'll do full game reports, update you on league news such as trades, injuries, and league leaders, let you know roster management moves, and fill you in on how team chemistry and player morale is going.

The basics for the dynasty are as follows:

Team: Boston Celtics
Draft Class: NBA Draft 2K11 (Shamon 513)
Difficulty: Superstar
Game Style: Sim
Quarter Length: 12 Minutes
Everything else is pretty standard except the Sliders are modified slightly to reflect those that the Commishes in my Sim League determined to be the most SIM.

Now that thats out of the way, I chose the Celtics because they are one of my favorite teams to watch and play with. Also, I'm intrigued with the situation of trying to beat the Heat and Lakers in my "2 Year Window" and then trying to build around Rondo after that.

I'll update again soon!

Andy "you so good at pitching" Pettitte, earns his 6th win on the season!



Jorge juiced one! Joe Mauer, and Home Plate Umpire Charlie Sawyer couldn't help but to watch!


The fans in the second deck, prepare to catch Jorge's home run! Take your pick on who will come down with the ball!



Mark Teixeira has no problem with hitting 5th in the lineup, as he went 4-for-4 on the day!


Robinson Cano is finally showing life with his bat! As he drives this ball to center field!


Denard Span did every thing he could to bring Cano's homer back, but it was way out of his reach!



Yankees pick up consecutive win number 4, beating the Twins at home.

The Yankees scored a fairly easy 8-2 win over the Twins today, with a crowd of 52,325 fans on hand at Yankee Stadium.

Mark Teixeira homered and drove in 3 runs to lead the way for the Yankees.

Allowing 5 hits in 6 innings, Andy Pettitte was able to pick up his 6th win of the season with some -- okay, a lot -- of help from his 'pen.

Andy was asked after the game about his team's efforts. "It's always a good day when we put up 8 runs like we did today."

Roy Oswalt (2-3, 4.87) will get the call for the Yankees tonight against John Lackey (1-1,5.75) and the Red Sox, who come into town for the first game of a new series.

The Tampa Bay Rays have placed numerous players on the Trade Block already (Rafael Soriano, Carlos Pena, Carl Crawford, Matt Garza, and Lance Cormier.) , this early in the year. One of those players happens to be Carl Crawford, the Yankees have major interest in bringing him to the organization.

Key Matchups
September 25 vs. Michigan: While the Hoosiers are unlikely to make any noise in the conference this season, they could very well start 4-0 if they're able to get by the Wolverines for the first time in years. With tough matchups in the conference, an early win over a Michigan team that has struggled recently would be nice to move one step closer to six wins.
October 16 @ Illinois: The Fighting Illini present one of the more winnable in-conference matchups for the Hoosiers. With four non-conference games that should go in the win column, Indiana will still need to grab two conference games. Illinois is a good opportunity to do that.
October 23 vs. Northwestern: Always a game Indiana fans will look to scratching their heads on what Northwestern team will show up this year, the Hoosiers should be able to take advantage of home-field.
November 20 @ Purdue: If Indiana can take home the Old Oaken Bucket for the first time since 2007, they could clinch bowl eligibility in this one. Purdue holds a commanding series lead at 56-26-3 and the Hoosiers grabbed just two wins last decade.

Offensive Overview
There's no question that quarterback Ben Chappell will return as the starter in 2010. He excelled last season with 2,941 yards and 17 touchdowns, but needs to cut back on his interceptions. He threw 15 in 2009, eight of those coming in the final four-game stretch. He'll likely see his attempts and other stats increase with an offense seemingly ready to embrace their identity as a pass-first team. If he can limit turnovers he could emerge as one of the conference's more underrated arms in his senior season.
Chappell will have plenty of options in the passing game, and he's pretty good at spreading the ball around to avoid predictability. Tandon Doss, Demarlo Belcher and Terrance Turner, last year's top three receivers, each return for 2010 and makeup what should be a high-flying offense. Doss and Turner are 6'3 with Belcher at 6'5, making this a big bunch of receivers that will create mismatches with smaller defensive backs. Mitchell Evans, Matt Ernest and Duwyce Wilson, all of whom are 6'1 or taller, will find time in the rotation. Max Demond, who hauled in 18 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown in 2009, returns at tight end.
Up front, the Hoosiers need to replace Rodger Saffold at left tackle. In his place will be Andrew McDonald, a big 6'6, 304 pounds tackle who saw action as a reserve the past two seasons. James Brewer, at 6'8 and 335 pounds, stepped up last season and returns as a key on the line. Will Matte will start at center with Justin Pagan and Marc Damisch at the guard spots. Darius Willis returns as the starter in the backfield, but with emphasis on the passing game, may not reach the 1,000 or so yards he's capable of accumulating. That's not to say he isn't an important cog on the offense. With defenses expected to give most of their attention to the passing game, Willis' success in the running game will be important for this team to change it up and open things up for the passing game.
Defensive Overview
The Hoosiers don't exactly lose seven players from one of the top defenses in the country, but multiple losses at all three levels of defense leaves the unit in flux. Both defensive ends will need to be replaced with Jammie Kirlew and Greg Middleton now gone after three seasons of solid production, but Joe Palcic, one of the co-defensive coordinators, has been singing the praise of Fred Jones and Terrance Thomas, the likely replacements for one of the Big Ten's most productive end duos. "I'm telling you," Palcic said according to Adam Rittenberg on ESPN's Big Ten Blog, "they're both going to end up being better than Jammie Kirlew." We'll see. As the Hoosiers use the 3-4 defense more, Adam Replogle should see more time at end and Larry Black, at 6'2 and 309 pounds, should eat up the middle.
Last year's leading tackler Matt Mayberry, who also added 5.5 sacks, is gone, leaving Tyler Replogle to man the middle of the second line of defense. A nine-game starter on the strongside last season, Replogle's move to the inside makes way for Leon Beckum to assume a starting position. He's spent most of his time on special teams and has yet to start, but makes for a formidable option next to Replogle. On the weakside will be Chad Sherer, another special teamer last season looking to step in as a redshirt sophomore. The backups are also solid, making this one of the deeper positions on the team, although with limited experience it may take a few weeks before they start to gel. Lee Rose, whose success could move Replogle back to strongside, Damon Sims and Chase Hoobler should see the field plenty in 2010.
The secondary loses three starters from a season ago with Donnell Jones the only returning starter from last year's secondary. The Hoosiers ranked 95th in pass defense and pass efficiency defense last season and will be looking for their more experienced defensive backs to step up early, as well as a couple of JUCO transfers to contribute. Jones and Chris Adkins are the more experienced of the bunch with Adrian Burks bringing a bit of starting experience to the table.
Special Teams Overview
Nick Freeland hit only 14 of his 25 field goal attempts last season and managed to connect on all 34 extra point attempts. More consistency will be a must for Freeland if Indiana hopes to win their closer games, and especially to save games when the offense puts up 35+ points. Chris Hagerup had ACL surgery in the offseason prior to the 2009 season, and it apparently hurt his production, seeing a dip in his punting average from 42.4 yards as a freshman to 40.5 yards as a sophomore. The drop wasn't catastrophic and Hagerup will have the chance, if he's fully healed and ready to go, to pick up where he left off in 2008.
Ray Fisher, who averaged 37.4 yards per kick return in 2009, tops in the country, on 17 attempts and returned two kicks for touchdowns, is gone, leaving the kick return duties in the hands of Tandon Doss. Doss returned 25 kicks last year for a total of 533 yards, a respectable 21.3 yard average. Doss will also get the shot at punt returns after taking four returns back 44 yards in 2009.
Head Coach: Robb Reed
Robb Reed has been a fixture for football in the state of Indiana. So much so that he's a member of the Indiana Football Hall of Fame. He's been head coach at Butler, Ball State, DePauw and now at Indiana. He was a member of Terry Hoeppner's Indiana staff during his tenure as head coach, serving as defensive coordinator.

Season Prediction
11th Big Ten Conference
Could Indiana be the next team to frustrate its fans by putting up 40 points a game only to give up a few more to the other team? With a talented quarterback and a deep receivers corps, as well as a solid offensive line to give Chappell time to throw, this could develop into a high-flying kind of offense. Look for the defense to assume a more aggressive style of play, but with only four returning starters and unproven promise rife on this unit, it's hard to say whether the Hoosiers will succeed in keeping points off the board.
Indiana will measure success this season by whether they make it to the bowl season. To get to the six wins required for bowl eligibility, they'll have to get through FCS Northwest, Western Kentucky, Akron and Arkansas State on the out of conference schedule…not exactly an insurmountable feat. That leaves just two in-conference game's they'll have to win. It may sound odd, but one of their best opportunities will come against Michigan, a team that has dominated the Hoosiers and one of the most storied programs in the nation. The Wolverines haven't been anything special of late, finishing 10th and tied for last in conference in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Other opportunities to grab a conference win will come against Illinois, Northwestern (games against the Wildcats have been close since '02) and Purdue, although the Hoosiers have seen just limited success of late against the in-state and conference rival Boilermakers.
