All Team NBA Association

[chinatownpwnage]

Hey OS Community! I've attempted to start other Dynasty Threads before, but my life has just conflicted with this and I have not had the time to maintain one. However, with the senior year of high school nearing it's end, I have a lot of free time now! I will be writing about a 30-team association that is at the beginning of the 2013-2014 season. I will start with a 2012-2013 recap, a playoff recap, and an off-season recap. During the first season, I started in the middle of the season before the deadline, and i did the trades that happened in real life, along with a few of my own.

Roster: Sim-World
Sliders: Ronyell's
DC's: Sim-World 2013, CWSapp/Dreece Fictional

I also want to thank the entire Sim-World team for making such an excellent roster, cgalligan for some of the logos I will be using, and fellow OS Dynasty writers for inspiring me to write this.

I hope everyone enjoys, and I would love to have all feedback and suggestions for this Association!

Playoffs Recap

Playoff Bracket



First Round

After the First Round Heat-Bucks series concluded, millions of Heat fans and Lebron fans did not like the ESPN Headline the following morning:

Other surprises include the dismantling of the Clippers at the hand of the Lakers, a series of games that may very well change the course of the free agency. Furthermore, the playoffs have gotten off to an exciting start with plenty of close games and close series.

First Round Top Performer


Knocking the favorite Miami Heat took a magical playoff series by young point Guard Brandon Jennings. He averaged 32.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 3.5 steals per game, including 47 points in Game 1, and 44 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists, 5 steals in a pivotal Game 4, when the Heat were looking to tie the series.

Conference Semifinals

The Conference Semifinals of this year helped Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony prove that the transactions their GM:

Derrick Rose also proved that his choice to return for the playoffs was correct. He averaged 27 points and 8 assists to lead the Bulls past the surging Bucks.

Conference Semifinals Top Performer


Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose, and Kevin Durant all had stellar performances during this round, but Dwight Howard's 30.2 points, 15.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 4.5 blocksin the sweep of Nuggets truly showed his return to dominance.

Conference Finals

Eastern Conference Finals



The Eastern Conference Finals began with a miniature brawl during Game 1. Melo dominated throughout the entire game, but the Knicks inability to stop the entire Bulls team offense eventually led the Bulls to a Game 1 victory, 101-90 (1-0 Bulls). Game 2 made the Bulls look spectacular, and it seemed as if the series would be one sided. Derrick Rose exploded with 39 points, 19 in the 3rd quarter. The Bulls went on the win 88-73 (2-0 Bulls). After Game 2, Carmelo told the press "I've faced adversity every year in the Playoffs, and I promise I won't let my Knicks fans down." He backed up his words wit the single best Playoff performance of this year, going for 53 points and 12 rebounds, 9 being offensive rebounds. The Knicks won 113-107 (2-1 Bulls). When Game 4 started, Derrick Rose starting five for six with 14 points in the first quarter. Carmelo quickly responded in the second quarter, and the game was tied at half. The duel between Melo and Rose continued in the third quarter, but the Bulls defense was too much down the stretch, and the Bulls won 88-82 (3-1 Bulls). Most fans believed that the Bulls had won now, but the Knicks showed that they were not going away, dominating the second and third quarters of Game 5 and 6, giving them two victories: 97-88 (3-2 Bulls) and 103-95 (3-3 tied). This resilience set up for a tense and anticipated Game 7. The Knicks came out of the gate strong, taking a demanding lead going into the half, but Derrick Rose poured in 17 points in the third quarter, helping the Bulls tie the game going into the fourth quarter. This set up a dream scenario of the Bulls defense attempting to stop Melo, and the Knicks defense attempting to stop Rose. Boy, did both superstars deliver! The back and forth between the two lead to a 85-84 Bulls lead with 2:51 to go. Derrick Rose scored on a nasty crossover, and then stole the ball from Felton and dunked the ball. With the Bulls now in control, it was Melo's chance to answer, but Derrick Rose and the Bulls would not be denied. They won 93-90 (4-3 Bulls win).


Western Conference Finals



After exceeding Playoff expectations for the Lakers, Kobe was one step closer to a coveted sixth ring. Analysts were predicting victories for both sides, some saying Westbrook's, and the Thunder's team quickness would be too much, while the Lakers post game was too powerful, and of course, they had Kobe Bryant, who was thirsty to prove himself after the last two playoffs. The first two games displayed the brilliance of a player that was flying under that radar. However, after Durant's 39 and 42 point Game 1 and 2 performances, respectively, he was the talk of the Finals. The Thunder won both games 101-95 (1-0 Thunder) and 105-94 (2-0 Thunder). When Game 3 tipped off, Dwight Howard was on a mission to make this a series. He dominated the whole game, and attempts at late game heroics by Westbrook and Durant fell short, and the Lakers won 94-92 (2-1 Thunder). Much of America and the whole world were anticipating a stellar Game 4, but he Thunder quickly came out and silenced everyone. The dominated the must-win for the Lakers, and won 88-70 (3-1 Thunder). Kobe Bryant had been relatively quite in the series to this point, but his 36 point and 14 assist performance in Game 5 was no surprise to no anyone. The Lakers won 92-86 (3-2 Thunder). After Game 6, Durant vowed to win Game 6 and avoid a Game 7 because he said "anything can happen in a Game 7". However, Durant started Game 6 very slow, and the early implications of the game showed an inevitable Game 7. Despite a ten point lead at half for the Lakers, the Thunder's defense and teamwork gave them the lead by the end of the fourth, 87-84. After some key defensive stops by the Thunder, and good transition baskets, the Thunder took control of the game and gave Durant the ball to close out the game. The Thunder won 110-105 (4-2 Thunder win).

NBA Finals



After 82 regular season games and 3 rounds of Playoff basketball, the Thunder and Bulls have reached the NBA Finals. For the Thunder, they do not want to wait another year, and add more doubt to the young team. For the Bulls, a win in these Finals would prove the prowess of head coach Tom Thibodeau and Chicago-native Derrick Rose.

Game 1 began with a duel between Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook. The Bulls gained a slight edge after Luol Deng's ability to hold Kevin Durant to only nine first half points. Howeve, Luol Deng was banged up at the beginning of the third quarter after twisting is angle contesting a Westbrook layup. Durant took advantage, scoring 15 of his 34 points in the third quarter. The Thunder were able to hold off a surge by the Bulls, and won 97-92 (1-0 Thunder).

Derrick Rose showed that he did not want to fall down 2-0, so he came out strong in Game 2, making his team look fantastic with 3 steals and 5 assists in the first quarter. He also added 6 points. By half, Derrick Rose's performance gave the Bulls a seven point lead. Derrick Rose did not left his foot off the gas pedal, and the Thunder had no answers for him. he ended the game with 34 points, 9 rebounds, 14 assists, and 7 steals. The Bulls won 104-97 (1-1 tied).

Both teams knew that Game 3 of a tied series often decided the eventual victor of the series. Both teams backed up this knowledge, and the game was neck and neck the entire time. A run by Luol Deng in the third quarter give the Bulls the slight lead the needed. On the last possession, Durant passed to an open Westbrook, but Westbrook missed the open shot to send the game into overtime. The Bulls won 88-86 (2-1 Bulls).

Westbrook did not let his miss effect his play, and he turned in his best performance of the series in Game 4. Westbrook and Ibaka took advantage of Boozer's inability to cover the pick and roll and pick and pop to give the Thunder the lead at half. In the 3rd quarter, Kevin Durant added to the offense, and it was too much for the Bulls. Rose tried his best during the fourth quarter, but he fell short and the Thunder won 93-89 (2-2 tied).

Game 5 was much of the same scenario as Game 3. History shows that the winner of Game 5 in a tied series wins the series. Both teams started off slow on offense, and the halftime score was tied, 39-39. It seemed like the only two people that could get anything going were Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant. In the third quarter, they both showed why they were the best young stars of the league. However, when Durant picked up his fourth foul with around six minutes left in the third quarter, Scott Brooks had to sit Durant. This was when the Bulls took advantage, and they got enough of an edge to win the game 82-78 (3-2 Bulls).

Game 6 followed much of the same mold as Game 5. However, Russell Westbrook took control of the game when Derrick Rose sat during the third quarter. By the start of the fourth, the score was 80-73 Thunder. They eventually won 103-92 (3-3 tied) because the Bulls sustain a run to close the gap of the game.

Game 7 began with offensive explosions from both sides. The halftime score was 54-53 Thunder. In the third quarter, Rose and Westbrook went back and forth. When Westbrook assisted to Durant for a buzzer-beating shot to end the third, the crowd went berserk, and the Thunder had a five point lead, 83-78. This was Durant's golden chance to prove that he was ready to take over the league and force his case as the top player in the league. He delivered a Dirk-esque fourth quarter, constantly scoring. He put the game away with a 3-play against Deng and Noah. The game eventually ended with the score 113-109 (4-3 Thunder win).

Re: All Team NBA Association

one thing i want to ask everyone is for some story lines that they would want to see as a possibility during the association. For example, trades, signings, etc.

[cgalligan]

Re: All Team NBA Association

Love the detail, I'll be following.

[Bluejaysfan65]

Why would the Celtics trade Rondo?!? O.o

[chinatownpwnage]

Re: All Team NBA Association

Why would the Celtics trade Rondo?!? O.o

In mine Association the Celtics were constantly at the bottom of the conference, and I felt the needed to make a move. I talked through the OS Trade Finder, but most everyone said a Rondo trade would be more likely than a Pierce trade.

This was my explanation on the forums:

Dallas
-trades away Darren Collison, Jae Crowder, Chris Kaman, Shawn Marion, and 2 1st rounders
-gets Rajon Rondo, Courtney Lee, Omri Casspi, Luke Walton

Cleveland
-trades away Omri Casspi, Josh Selby, Daniel Gibson, Luke Walton, 1st rounder
-gets Shawn Marion, Brandon Bass, and Jason Terry

Celtics
-trades away Rondo, Courtney Lee, Brandon Bass, and Jason Terry
-gets Darren Collison, Jae Crowder, Chris Kaman, Josh Selby, Daniel Gibson, and 3 first rounders

Explanation
-For Mavs, it's just a move to stay at their cap but bring in a piece to help pursue free agents, potentially Dwight. No brainer here.
-For Cleveland, who are 31-17, they are missing the SF, so they get Shawn Marion, a sixth man in Terry, and a role playing front court with Bass by giving up expiring contract, a decent prospect in Selby, and a 1st rounder
-For Celtics, I feel like a trade must be made because the team is 18-31, Garnett and Pierce are getting no younger, and they have decent propects arleady. With this trade, they free up ~25 mill for the offseason, and will add two picks for 2013 (lotto from mavs), and one in the future. They also get a few more prospects in Jae Crowder and Josh Selby.

Also, sorry for the clutter, but when the recap's are finished, I will be posting shorter individual posts.

Head Coach:Doug Collins
Preview: Now with Andrew Bynum back (one year deal), the 76ers can see how good their team really is. The fan base is also hoping a lot from Evan Turner. The 76ers were quite in the off season, drafting propsect James McAdoo in the first round.

Boston Celtics Depth Chart - 13/14
	STARTER	2ND	3RD	4TH
PG	Darren Collison (74)	Josh Selby (65)	Daniel Gibson (61)

C	Kevin Garnett (74)	Chris Kaman (69)	Fab Melo (64)

Head Coach: Doc Rivers
Preview: After surging to the playoffs despite the Rondo trade, the Boston Celtics were quite in the off season, as they look to develop their youth in Josh Selby, Avery Bradley, Jared Sullinger, Jon Leuer, Fab Melo, and rookie Andre Roberson, and potentially make a splash after Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett's contracts expire.This may be the year that Jeff Green breaks out after his impressive run after the All-Star break.

C	Tyson Chandler (79)	Mehmet Okur (63)	Bernard James (62)

Head Coach: Mike Woodson
Preview: After the playoffs concluded, Jason Kidd, Rasheed Wallace, and Marcus Camby announced their retirements. During the draft, the Knicks draft young PG Myck Kabongo. However, in free agency, the Knicks budget finally caught up to them, as the lost J.R. Smith to the Memphis Grizzlies. They were able to sign Jerryd Bayless to be their sixth man.

PF	Kris Humphries (71)	Kenyon Martin (65)	Mirza Teletovic (62)
C	Brook Lopez (79)	Reggie Evans (63)

Head Coach: Avery Johnson
Preview: The first year for the Brooklyn Nets had it's ups and downs. They were able to reach the playoffs as a fourth seed, but they were bounced by the eastern conference champion Bulls. In the draft, the Nets acquired international talent Dario Saricwith the 22nd pick, a pick that many believe will be a steal if he develops with his interesting combination of athleticism and basketball I.Q. at this height, 6'10", for his position, SF. Another player that has high expectations is Marshon Brooks, who is finally healthy and it the primary bench player for the Nets.

Toronto Raptors Depth Chart - 13/14
	STARTER	2ND	3RD	4TH
PG	Kyle Lowry (75)	John Lucas (62)	Isaiah Canaan (R) (60)

PF	Andrea Bargnani (75)	Amir Johnson (67)	Jeremy Evans (62)
C	Jonas Valanciunas (68)	Samuel Dalembert (63)

Head Coach: Dwane Casey
Preview: After being unable to reach the playoffs again, many feel that this is the make or break year for Dwane Casey and many players on the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors resigned Demar DeRozan, so there may be an interesting delimma for second year player Terrence Ross if he is able to show some of the potential he has.

The Bulls resigned Marco Belinelli and draft Archie Goodwin to help with the SG position, but the spot is up for grabs as Jimmy Butler may try to steal the position.

C	Anderson Varejao (75)	Marreese Speights (70)	Tyler Zeller (67)

Head Coach: Byron Scott
Preview: The Cavaliers acquired some veteran and bench depth through trades last season. However, Shawn Marion decided to chase another ring and left the Cavaliers, so the Cavs hope they have a starting SF in rookie Anthony Bennett from UNLV. They also drafted Tony Mitchell in the first round from UNT. This Cavaliers team has a lot of young talent and potential.

PF	Greg Monroe (79)	Charlie Villanueva (64)	Patric Young (R) (63)	Jeremy Tyler (63)
C	Andre Drummond (74)

Head Coach: Lawrence Frank
Preview: With a lot of budget room, the Pistons pursued Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, but were unable to acquire either player. The Pistons did add the talented SF Otto Porter, who they hope can challenge Kyle Singler, and eventually become a prominent player for the Pistons. Another noticeable move does not come in an acquisition, but management and coach Lawrence Frank have decided to move Greg Monroe to the 4 position so Andre Drummond can start along side him.

With plenty of cap room, the Bobcats enticed Ray Allento place close to his hometown to end his career.

Head Coach: Larry Drew
Preview: After a back and forth season, Josh Smith told the media that he was dedicated to the Atlanta Hawks, and Atlanta was where he wanted to play ball. In the off season, the Hawks added Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Gorgui Deng. However, the biggest news from the Hawks in the months of no basketball was the signing of center Nikola Pekovic. This allows Josh Smith and Al Horford to return to their natural position, a move many feel will heavily benefit the team.

Head Coach: Erik Spoelstra
Preview: After a surprising exit from the defending champs, the Heat began to think about how to improve for the next year. However, due to a limited cap space, they were unable to resign Ray Allen, but instead, added role player Elton Brand to fortify the front court. The next off season will be the big one, as Lebron James and Dwyane Wade have early termination options.
