Antonin Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 So anyone still interested in this? The whole forum's been kinda dead lately. I am. It has been very fun reading. What you are doing here resembles what I have been doing with the Cavaliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingofOldSchool Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 <p>A huge 3 team trade was made at the deadline.</p><p> </p><p> The Warriors with the NBA's worst record and no 1st round draft pick in the upcoming NBA Draft decided it was time to go into a rebuilding mode.</p><p> </p><p> They sent their All Star Center Elmore Smith to the Denver Nuggets for their 1982 1st round pick and Center George Johnson. In order for the trade to work salary cap wise, the Nuggets sent PF Darnell Hillman to the Pacers for PF Sidney Wicks.</p><p> </p><p> The Nuggets made another huge trade by trading starting PG Johnny Moore and their 1983 1st round draft pick to the Milwaukee Bucks for disgruntled, but talented PG Andrew Toney.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tg01 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I just wanted to throw in that I really am enjoying this forum, I loved it a month ago when it seemed there was a new post every five minutes, so the more active it is the greater I think it is. As I've mentioned before, don't know much about basketball, but love seeing what you guys are doing! Please keep up the great work especially in this diary!

steveepee Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 this is fascinating, surely the Knicks have to sack the coach.. massive drop from last season, and the Knick faithful and New York press would be blaming someone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofOldSchool Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 The injury bug hit the 76ers in the second half of their season. 3 of their 5 starters, including Moses Malone, got injured and are out for over a month. Their backup center also got injured for over a month as well. Their lead in the division is cut to 3 games. Also, the Kings are on an impressive 17 game losing streak.

KingofOldSchool Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 1983 NBA All Star Game: Won by the West 170-147. Calvin Natt was the MVP. Adrian Dantley was the leading vote getter in the West and Moses Malone led for the East. West Starters: C: Mike Gminski (Rockets) 1st selection PF: Alvan Adams (Blazers) 3rd selection SF: Bernard King (Mavs) 2nd selection SG: Rolando Blackman (Rockets) 2nd selection PG: Adrian Dantley (Nuggets) 7th selection Bench: C: Joe Barry Carroll (Mavs) 1st selection PF: Bob McAdoo (Suns) 8th selection SF: Kiki Vandeweghe (Kings) 1st selection SF: Buck Wlliams (Sonics) 1st selection SG: Calvin Natt (Kings) 3rd selection PG: David Thompson (Sonics) 7th selection PG: Magic Johnson (Clippers) 3rd selection (Magic, Thompson, and Kiki were the only ones to play for the West that year IRL. Buck made it on the East that year.) East Starters: C: Robert Parish (Pacers) 5th selection PF: Moses Malone (Sixers) 5th selection SF: Larry Bird (Bullets) 3rd selection SG: Julius Erving (Cavs) 9th selection PG: Reggie Theus (Bullets) 3rd selection Bench: C: James Edwards (Bullets) 3rd selection PF: Mickey Johnson (Pistons) 8th selection PF: Leon Douglas (Bucks) 1st selection SF: Marques Johnson (Bulls) 3rd selection SG: Billy Knight (Celtics) 7th selection SG: Walter Davis (Nets) 4th selection PG: Phil Ford (Bulls) 2nd selection (A lot of faces made it.

KingofOldSchool Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd275/pearljamownzyou/82-83Midseason.jpg Post All Star game/pre trade deadline standings. Suns are chronic underachievers. The Bucks are finally realizing their potential. The Cavs had injuries to two of their key starters, hence why their record is not as good as it normally is.

KingofOldSchool Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 <p>In some trades...</p><p> </p><p> The Suns trade to Washington:</p><p> </p><p> PF - Bob McAdoo</p><p> PG - Gerald Henderson</p><p> C - Darren Tillis</p><p> </p><p> The Bullets trade to Phoenix:</p><p> </p><p> 1983 1st round pick</p><p> PF - Larry Kennon</p><p> PG - Ricky Sobers</p><p> C - Jim Johnstone</p><p> </p><p> Suns are abysmal and McAdoo's career is winding down, the Suns wanted to trade him to a contender. The PG swap was more of a salary cap measure as the Bullets needed to rid themselves of a money contract to get McAdoo, both Henderson and Sobers have the same solid blue rating with about equal stats, Henderson is younger, though.</p><p> </p><p> The Bulls trade to the Suns:</p><p> </p><p> PG - Jim Price</p><p> SF - Derek Smith</p><p> </p><p> The Suns trade to the Bulls:</p><p> </p><p> SF - Spencer Haywood</p><p> </p><p> The Suns trade to the Pacers:</p><p> </p><p> PG - Eddie Jordan</p><p> </p><p> The Pacers trade to the Suns:</p><p> </p><p> SG - Fly Williams</p><p> </p><p> Much like McAdoo, Suns wanted to trade Haywood to a contender. The Bulls don't give up much. Price isn't doing much anymore, relegated to the end of the bench. Smith is a raw, but talented rookie with decent potential.</p><p> </p><p> Suns were loaded at PG and lacking at SG. The Pacers were opposite, so the trade made sense.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingofOldSchool Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 <p>Time for the 1982-83 NBA Regular Season Awards:</p><p> </p><p> MVP:</p><p> </p><p> For the 5th time and 3rd year in a row, Denver's Adrian Dantley took home the award.</p><p> </p><p> Rookie of the Year:</p><p> </p><p> While Terry Cummings won it in real life, Sleepy Floyd of the Spurs won the award. Dominique Wilkins probably would have won if it wasn't for his injury near midseason which cost him about 2 months.</p><p> </p><p> Most Improved Player:</p><p> </p><p> Weirdly enough, the Clippers Magic Johnson won the award. The only thing he improved much in statistically was 5 more points a game.</p><p> </p><p> Defensive Player of the Year:</p><p> </p><p> For the second straight year, Chicago's Marvin Webster won the award. Sidney Moncrief won that year IRL.</p><p> </p><p> Sixth Man of the Year:</p><p> </p><p> Magic's backup in San Diego, Rory Sparrow, won the award. His rating is good enough he could be the starter on a lot of NBA teams. Bobby Jones won the award IRL.</p><p> </p><p> All NBA 1st Team:</p><p> </p><p> C - Robert Parish (Pacers)</p><p> PF - Moses Malone (76ers)</p><p> SF - Kiki Vandeweghe (Kings)</p><p> SG: Adrian Dantley (Nuggets)</p><p> PG: Magic Johnson (Clippers)</p><p> </p><p> The game only predicted Parish and Johnson correct. While IRL, only Malone and Johnson were on the 1st team.</p><p> </p><p> All NBA Rookie 1st Team:</p><p> </p><p> C - LaSalle Thompson (Nets)</p><p> F - James Worthy (Suns)</p><p> F - Dominique Wilkins (Celtics)</p><p> SG - Trent Tucker (Lakers)</p><p> PG - Sleepy Floyd (Spurs)</p><p> </p><p> The game got Wilkins, Tucker, and Floyd correct.

KingofOldSchool Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 <p>Just finished watching the PBP of game 7 of the Western Conference Semis between the Clippers and the Mavs.</p><p> </p><p> TREMENDOUS game.</p><p> </p><p> Clippers lost Magic to an injury early. The teams were trading leads for most of the game until late in the 3rd when the Clippers opened up an 11 point lead. Then the Mavs came back in the 4th to grab a one point lead. Leads were changed again, then under a minute left, the Mavs blew chances to take the lead. Bernard King missed a late free throw, then missed a chance to win the game in regulation.</p><p> </p><p> In overtime, more of the same. Trading leads, then the Mavs missed two shots at the end of OT to send it to Double OT.</p><p> </p><p> Then in double overtime, Kevin McHale fouled out early in the period, which took out their front power as both McHale and Joe Barry Carroll were out of the game.</p><p> </p><p> The Clippers went on to win the game, and the series, 147-143.</p><p> </p><p> They will play the upset minded Rockets who already knocked off the #1 seed and team with the best record in the NBA, the Portland Trail Blazers.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
