Dirk's 42 over-power Nuggets, Raptors win 96-80

Nuggets 3 Key Players
LeBron James: 36 pts, 5 reb, 5 ast
Michael Redd: 16 pts, 4 reb, 2 ast

Raptors 3 Key Players
Dirk Nowitzki: 42 pts, 16 reb, 2 stl
Shane Battier: 17 pts, 6 reb
Kirk Hinrich: 16 pts, 9 ast, 5 reb

Comments: Overall game just sucked. None of the shots were falling, and I was trying to get used to the new plays I put in. Would have been nice to have MM's Floor General to help me. Dirk torched me for 14 in the 1st quarter, none of my shots were falling. Even my dunks were going out. Only guy that was consistently making shots was LeBron. Oh well, next game should be better.

NUGGETS: 7-8

Barry's clutch shooting downs Nuggets, 97-89

Nuggets 3 Key Performers
LeBron James: 26 pts, 8 reb, 7 stl
Michael Redd: 17 pts, 2 ast
Carlos Boozer: 10 pts, 8 reb, 5 ast

Knicks 3 Key Performers
Brent Barry: 23 pts
Rashard Lewis: 20 pts, 3 reb, 3 ast
Raymond Felton: 18 pts, 10 ast

Comments: F*#*$ing Barry. I was down 83-73 with about 4 minutes left and managed to get back even at 83-83. Next time down the court, Barry hits a deep 3 with Redd right in his face. Then Duhon bricked a shot at the other end and that was about it. Again, LeBron was the only guy I could rely on all game. Redd only had 4 points in the 1st half, Boozer had a minor injury and missed a quarter, Duhon was in foul trouble. I can't seem to win a game...hmph.

NUGGETS: 7-9

Nuggets drop 3rd straight to Sixers, 114-98

Nuggets 3 Key Performers
LeBron James: 27 pts, 5 reb, 2 ast
Michael Redd: 22 pts, 5 ast, 4 reb

Sixers 3 Key Performers
Bobby Jackson: 26 pts, 6 ast, 2 stl
Bonzi Wells: 23 pts, 4 ast, 3 reb
Elton Brand: 22 pts, 16 reb

Comments: I'm about to quit this f&#&ing game. EVERY SINGLE GAME, I have a lead and lose it to an 8 to 12 point run in the 3rd quarter and ALL of my shots rattle out. It's ridiculous. Jackson killed me the whole game, LeBron had 4 fouls in the 1st half, Duhon bruised his hip but returned.

NUGGETS: 7-10

Re: Denver Nuggets Fantasy Draft (NBA 2k6)

Nuggets end losing skid, defeat Celtics 88-77

Nuggets 3 Key Performers
LeBron James: 21 pts, 10 reb, 6 stl, 4 ast
Mehmet Okur: 18 pts, 9 reb
Carlos Boozer: 16 pts, 5 ast, 2 reb

Celtics 3 Key Performers
Kobe Bryant: 35 pts, 3 reb, 2 ast
Deron Williams: 14 pts, 5 ast
Emeka Okafor: 6 pts, 17 reb

Comments: FINALLY I got a lead and held it. I went away from my traditional "try to get outside shots" offense and tried to give it to Okur and Boozer as much as I could. That in turn got LeBron some open shots and it all worked out. Defense was also great this game, the only problem was stopping Okafor down low. Kid got 7 offensive rebounds and was a pain. I basically just let Kobe get his and tried to shut everyone else down. Redd only had 14 but more spread out scoring and I won the game.

NUGGETS: 8-10

Despite 8 point 1st quarter, Nuggets crush Heat 93-76

Nuggets 3 Key Performers
LeBron James: 27 pts, 12 reb, 6 ast
Michael Redd: 18 pts, 4 ast, 3 reb
Carlos Boozer: 13 pts, 5 reb, 2 ast

Heat 3 Key Performers
Richard Hamilton: 27 pts, 6 reb, 6 ast
Andre Miller: 17 pts, 10 ast
Kevin Garnett: 6 pts, 17 reb, 2 blk

Comments: The 1st quarter was terrible. Every damn shot I took rattled out, and all of my dunks missed. Score was 24-8 after 1, then I narrowed it down to a 2 point deficit at the half. I took the lead 63-62 going into the 4th on a LeBron buzzer beater and didn't look back. I was very surprised that I limited KG to only 6 points. It was the backcourt I couldn't stop, Rip and Andre killed me. Don't know why Boozer isn't rebounding much, but a win is a win.

NUGGETS: 9-10

Comments: Freakishly good game. I was shooting lights out the whole game, near 60%. Had 7 guys in double figures. Again, successful stopping the major inside presence (Amare), but couldn't stop the guards. Back to .500 baby!
