Kevin McHale...say hi!

[Gensi2k]

hi all!
First i want to introduce me.
I'm Gensi (2k is a tribute for the software house what i bring from another site where "Gensi" was already used, so i decided to add "2k" and i never left it)

I choose to talk here about my Nba2k15 leagues mainly for improve my english (i think best way to talk better is talk with native speakers) and then to share with us my coaching career (I find boring self-satisfaction for my successes and self-desperation for my defeats )

I started to tell something about my Nba2k adventures after reading "Barbatrucco" blog, an italian Nba2k legendary storyteller who also write here. He is, i can say, my guru!

So, let's go!

Shocking news: Kevin McHale was Fired





Nobody expected this: pre-season finished and NBA show is ready to start...but only few days from the beginning of the season, Leslie Alexander decided to fire head-coach Kevin McHale.
A shocking news.
But seeing curriculum of new head coach, the dismission had sense.

Coach Gensi, a young italian guy, now lead the team.
He started is virtual carrer in NBA 2k12, training in a dramatic situation the New Orleans Hornets bringing them to the Western Conference Finals. Then he moves to Clippers reaching Conference Finals again. But the first NBA Championship came with the Boston Celtics, beating Kevin Durant and Oklahoma City Thunder.

In NBA 2k13 years, he lived his first results-crisis: three years in the Phoenix Suns and two loss in the NBA Finals. It appears to be an end, but the revenge arrives in NBA 2k14 where coach Gensi win another NBA Championship with the Celtics and then makes a real miracle achieving a three-peat coaching the Grizzlies.
It's clear: a new star was born. And Gensi shows this in NBA 2K15, accepting to coach "The Land" in the road for his first NBA Championship.
Last miracle is the succesfully rebuilding of the New York Knicks: after a first dramatic season, the big-apple Franchise reach the Eastern Conference Finals in 2nd year (stopped only by a Carmelo Anthony injury) and winning the Ring in 3rd year. So he decided to replace Tom Thibodeau in Bulls bench: it was a great adventure, with Chicago coming-back from a 0-2 after two home games vs Cavs in East Finals, but a terrible Jimmy Butler injury break Bulls' dreams in the Finals against Pelicans.

It's time for another adventure. And this time, only the victory is admitted

James Harden isn't scared by Warriors and Cavs: "We can"

Rockets' guard James Harden, interviewed respect to new season, said Houston has the same possibilities of the other vertex-teams to win third franchise's NBA championship.

"We can. Simply, we can. We got a new coach and he's a great coach. He win seven rings including a three-peat, he played lot of playoffs games. He know how to motivate us and trasmit his great experience. We respect him. And we respect teams like Warriors, Cavs, Clippers, Grizzlies, Bulls, Hawks...but i think this is OUR time."

Nick Young and the Lakers beat Houston in season-opener





We're scared by this game because Kobe Bryant is back and want to bring Lakers to a playoff spot. But in this opening game at Staples Center we simply underrate Nick Young and he made we pay for it. Kobe scores only nine points with five turnovers, but Iggy Azalea's partner this time wanted to show how can do in a basketball court and...he has simply caught us.

Harden drops 42 and Rockets catches his first season victory



We haven't made our home debut yet, but at the Energy Solutions Arena we have seen an one-man show: in a close game, Rockets' guard maybe saves new head coach's honor dropping 42 points (and going nearly the triple double) leading 17-4 final break who permit Houston to bring the game.
We have to mention great losing effort of enemy point guards: Trey Burke and Dante Exum played an efficient match combining 17-22 shooting. But it hasn't been enough.

Boston plays well but Howard and Harden drag Houston to 2nd season win

If Isaiah Thomas didn't do this horrific shooting-performance, maybe Celtics can upset us in our first home game. Boston plays well, very well, and demostrates can search a seed in next playoffs. Brad Stevens is a great, great coach but he has to fight with Thomas's stubbornness: misses a shot, re-catch the ball, shoot another time...and misses again!

Clutch point were in third quarter: a 38-25 score, signed by "double-H" Harden and Howard, has given the definitive push to our victory. But i have to mention Beverley: 18 points with 9 shoots. Simply perfect.

Sixers shocks Rockets with BIG comeback in Phillie

I can't believe this is true. And i can bet, when we return in Texas to play, i'm going to ear chants like "FI-RE COACH""FI-RE COACH" from the stands. We CAN'T lose with Sixers. And WE CAN'T LOSE finishing an incredible first quarter with a 16 points lead.
I can't explain how happened after. Maybe we lost concentration, maybe we underrated Sixers...but i don't want to see a thing of this kind ANYMORE.

Howard flagrant foul give final push to the HEAT

The game starts really badly for us: Miami took an early big lead and Howard was charged of two personal fouls after a few minutes in the first quarter.

Without Dwight but with a great earth we comeback fast reaching our first lead with a buzzer-beating three by Jason Terry at halftime. But Miami wants to fight hard to catch the victory and Wade became unguardable. The clutch fact happen in last minutes of the game: with Rockets down four, Howard commit a flagrant-foul on Chris Bosh and were ejected. It looked over, but two three-pointers by Patrick Beverley and Harden permit us to tie the game at 120. Coming off timeout, Luol Deng hits a long two with 15 seconds remaining, on our imbound Beverley go to free-throw line but misses the second FT giving Miami the definitive lead. Our last action was a desperate three-pointer by Brewer who comes short. HEAT win, we return in Texas with the tail among the legs...
