November Games for the CAP NBA Live 2005 Dynasty

Interview with Vasillis "Dimitri" Mykonos':

On the new team- "They're great guys ya know. Sometimes we kick each other around in practice but it's all in good fun. Most of the time we're kicking back shooting 300-400 shots a day in the practice facility. Occasionally, D (Mad D), comes and brings us some grub from In-N-Out or Taco Bell-Now that's the good stuff. It's been a team thing to have the youngest rookie bring doughnuts before practices, but D's been so generous in bringing us food; so we decided to lay low on the tradition. Coach gets mad sometimes, but hey, as long as we keep this on the down-low, we got it good. What the coach doesn't know can't hurt us.

On being the only "Euro" on the team- "Uhh...I dunno what to say. It's been a real blessing to come out here and play pro ball. Back in Europe, we would play in the little "hoods" and chill with our boys. Over here, I suppose, it's much different than over there. Kids here are wearing Nike and Adidas tank tops, while back home we get the year 1999 fall style DKNY shirt and play with our father's old work shoes. I guess D, and me stick like glue. Of course he's the one who played with Mr. Yao Ming back in China, while I, played with Mr. Vasilis Xanthopoulos.

On the various fines the NBA is giving- "I prefer not to comment on the current situation. I might be fined myself.

[The Media Chuckles]

On Mad D's behavior- "D is by far the most enthusiastic guy I've ever played with. This guy has mad scoring skills and is faster than Tony Parker and Earl Boykins on steroids. Of course some of the team members are jealous...That's why we have haters. Pretty soon he's gonna be like 50 cent and have death threats; By-golly.

[Dimitri and Media Laugh]

Who's the most injury prone on this team? - "As of now, I cannot really tell. I've seen all these guys play on the court for about 5-6 games already but time will tell when these guys will get injured. For all we know, I could be
sitting on the bench in crutches after last night's game. It's always a battlefield out there.

How do you prepare for games? - "If you really want to know the truth, I like to wash my lucky ducky underpants the night before so I can wear them on game days. I can't go on the road without them.

Do you have any pre-game superstitions? -No, not really. Although the team does do a little dance before the game. Otherwise, I'm not really into superstitions other than what my grandmother told me when I was a child.

Any last comments to the fans? -I'm single?

[Media Dies of Laughter]

well on a side note of reality, I was the one who said he had a lot of Chinese friends but isn't Chinese. I'm as Filipino as you are (assuming that you were the person who was half).

..but either way I guess if an asian had to play basketball it would have to be in China since they are the only ones in Asia capable of putting together an Olympic team.
 
Well that's what I meant ;) If D had chinese friends, you'd most likely play in China to chill w/ them rather than Taiwan or Philippines or any other area.

Interview with Vasillis "Dimitri" Mykonos'

instead of wasting space, il just put that in the quote.... good stuff The Freak, very nice

Quote from Danny Herberholz:
"I don't remember Mad D being that fast...But if he really is that fast, I challenge him to two things. First, a full-court sprint, back and forth, to see who is fastest. Haha...

Second, I want to have a friendly competition to, without playing any differently than normal or disrupting our team, see who can collect the most steals through the entire regular season. The Peter and anyone else who feels capable of doing well can join.

Oh, and by the way, David Stern, we need to stick together as Jews in this league. I'm sorry for the Toronto sucks comment, but the fishes thing is gonna be an every game thing. It's not negative or hurtful, so I do not see any harm in it. Fine me for saying that if you really want, but just know I'll take the fines.

I actually got a game through!! Kings @ Suns Records: Kings 4-1 Suns 3-2

1st Quarter
Kings 23 Suns 20

The first quarter was actually very slow for the Kings offensivley. On defense we were doing great, but our offense was just plain bad. Miles Clipper had a bad 1st quarter, but made shots later on in the game. Our first basket was by Vasillis with a long 2. But after that, the Suns went on a 8-0 run. At the buzzer, Mad D made a 3 pointer to give us the 3 point lead.

2nd Quarter
Kings 47 Suns 47

The Suns came back in the second and tied the game at the half. It was a similar quarter to last quarter. Suprisingly, it was a low scoring game so far for thse both offensive teams. Bad shooting % for the Kings this half. there was a nice Sportscenter highlight when Fever catched an alley oop pass and dunked it with style. All in all, good thing that the kIngs stayed close in a road game.

Key Players at the Half: Jesus Shuttlesworth5 pts, 8 reb, 3 asts
Steve Nash 20 points

3rd Quarter
Kings 68 Suns 71

Suns started to get momentum back.They gained a small lead in the half, whihc is bad news, Phoenix is a streaky team, and when they get hot, they are HOT. Miles Clipper started to heat up in this quarter making baskets as well as Sactown Fever. We needed a good start to the 4th quarter to win this game.

4th Quarter

The Kings needed a strong start, which they didn't get. At one point we were down by 10. We started to get close, but then Steve nash makes the basket and gets sent to the line. Phoenix was really hot in the 4th making many baskets. MAd D got what he wanted, so I put him at PG for a couple of minutes and shot many threes over Nash and kept making them. The Kings were down 6 wiith 11 seconds to go, so I stole the ball with 1.2 seconds left. called a timeout, Vassillis shot a three and made it. The final score was:

Kings 96 Suns 99

Player of the Game: Steve Nash 35 pts, (15-29 shooting) 3 asts

Second Update. Playing against Chicago Bulls. Records: Kings 5-2 Bulls 2-2

1st Quarter
Kings 28 Bulls 22

What a great first quarter. The difference bewteen the score doesn't help say this, but this quarter was one of the best quarters we have ever played so far. We were makings many shots like Mad D. He had around 8 points in the first quarter. Defense by Vasillis also helped us! Our first points was by Bball for a long 2 from an assist Daley.

2nd Quarter
Kings 40 Bulls 48

From our one of the best quarters ever, to one of the worst quarters ever by the Kings. Many turnovers, and offense was just terrible. We didnt score till 4 minutes passed by. And only 2 assists in the second quarter. Defense wasn't that bad but, nonetheless, still bad. We lost our 6 point lead and were trailing by 8 now. Bad way to end the first half.

Key Player fo the Half: Danny Herberholz 8 pts, and 4 stls

3rd Quarter
Kings 68 Bulls 67

We got our lead back, but now the difference is only one.We moved the ball more and defnsivly stepped it up big time. The only thing now is to do is to keep up our small margin.Mad was still giving ua a lot of offense as always. Also, Danny Herberholz, got many steals on the dfensive end.

4th Quarter

Close game in teh end. We started to stetch putr lead in the begginning, but Chicago kept getting closer, and closer. Early in the 4th, Twiz injured her toe. Not good news for the Kings. Still though, they didn't have much time to beat the Kings. The KIngs are not going to lose verse the Kings at Arco Arena. No way. Great contributions by Mad D and Danny herberholz!

Kings 99 Bulls 95

Player of the Game: Mad D 20 pts, (8-12), 4 reb, 1 blk, 2 stls, and 4 asts.

From the Peter himself...

"The Peter is very sorry to the fans of Sacramento for struggling mightily these past few games. I feel The Peter should be singlehandedly blamed for the loss vs. the Suns. Thank gosh we won these past two games, or else I'd be getting close to a breakdown...However, this can be considered a good thing, because I know that The Peter will definatly be hitting the gym hours in advance."
 
Both teams played hard. We need to take better care of the ball and really need to start gang rebounding...Twix is out yes but we'll hold down the fort til he gets back

(Sha the fan) Get well soon Twix! :(
 
Miles Clipper:

It was a good win. We're gonna miss Twix. That toe injury was ugly, dude. It poked clear out of the shoe, man. I almost hurled.

On his performance so far:

Well, I'd like to do better. I need to step up the boards and take a little better care of the ball. I'm working on that and if I can get someone like 6th to help, I should be able to step it up a notch.

For about the 20th time today.........

::6th dies laughing::



Good thing I have plenty of lives. ;)
 
- The update on M. Twix is that he is out for 11 days(4 games) with a sprained toe.
Ouch...that hurts (my toe, that is).

Out 4 games?? That means I'm not on the IL list? I'll try to recover ASAP to help my team win!! :) I know you all can do well without me.

GO TEAM!!!
 
Demetri Mykonos Postgame interview:

On Twix's injury: An injured toe? WTF?!?! Just playin T. :p I hope Twix gets back fast. We need all the help we can get.

On Team Slumps: Of course some of us guys are in slumps. Take me for example: Back in the Euroleague, I'm known to have 15 points a game with 4 blocks and 5 rebounds. It's an adjustment the whole team has to make. In europe, the courts are significantly smaller. Well at least the line markings are. It's fairly hard to be running your butt off with these 7 foot Americans. Good Grief. Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets almost stepped on me a couple nights ago!

Another home game to watch their beloved Kings play basketball. Kings are playing Memphis. Records: Memphis 7-1 Kings 6-2 .Twix missed her first game.

1st Quarter
Kings 27 Memphis 22

The Kings got the tip. Sha was in a double team so he passed it out to Vasillis for the 18 ft shot which was our first points. We started good offensively but not too well on defense. We had to sometimes go to a 2-3 zone. That didn't work either. I told the players to step it up on the defensive side in the next quarter.

2nd Quarter
Kings 48 Memphis 48

The Kings couldn't step it up on defense and this time not even very well on offense. Many turnovers by the Kings and couldn't keep the leather in their hands. We were just glad that we were tied at the end of the half.

Key Players at the Half: Jason Williams 16 pts, 3 asts Vasillis Mykonos 4pts,
4 reb, 2 stls, and 4 blks,

3rd Quarter
Kings 68 Memphis 74

Memphis took a 6 point lead heading into the 4th quarter which means bad things. We till didn't do any damage on defnse. Our offense was OK, but our defense was what we needed. Good quarters by miles Clipper and Vasillis who helped us a little bit. Heading into the 4th, we needed defense or we would probably lose the game. Thanks to Jesus he cut the lead by 3, by making a 3 at the buzzer!

4th Quarter

It was a close game in the end, but only one team came out with a win. The Kings started out really slow, and they were down as many as 10 with about 2 minutes and 30 seconds left. But then the Kings come back!! The KIngs were down 2 with 1 minute passed by!! We were on a roll!! Danny, and Sha, and Jesus were all doing a great job. But then, Sha gets called for a offensive foul and a couple of turnovers by teh Kings. The crowd doesnt liek it. Memphis goes on a run and gets up by double digits aain. The game was a heartbreaker.

Kings 94 Memphis 99

Player of the Game: J-Will 30 pts, (14-20 shooting), and 7 assists.

After the game.

"After the way The Peter has played these past couple of games, I can forget that max deal I was thinking of...Hell, I'll be lucky to be picked up for the minimum if I keep this up."

::The media room chuckles::

"I just know I can play better. I haven't been hitting my shots, I've been truning the ball over, I've been forcing things. These next games, I am going back to the basics. I'm only shooting if I'm wide open and set, and I'm going to be a pass-first player. Lets see If I can earn the right to call my "The Peter" again."
 
D. Herberholz's postgame quote:
"Oh ya, that steal's competition I was talking about?No need for that, I've already won. *huge smile*. We played well but couldn't pull off a win. Next time I'll try to go into double digit steals to get those extra points. I applaud my teamates for an excelent performance, and the Grizz for the win. Also, can't wait for Twix to be back, feel better."
 
Miles Clipper's post-game quote:

I feel bad. I had my career high but it wasn't enough. Those Grizzlies are tough bears. Next time, we'll skin 'em!!!
 
Miles Clipper -

I don't know what happened. It was like I was there... then I wasn't there... but I WAS there, you know?
 
Peter Daley---

"I think you all should call me "Frostbite" right now. I'm so cold it's hurting me, and it's hurting the team. And If I contiue this awful play of mine, I may just fall off the body...That's be cut from the team, for the people who didn't get the reference."
 
Jesus Shuttlesworth breaks his season long silence to the media:

"I don't know what in the Haedes.....ooops I mean heaven happen. We are a much better team than what we showed. We gave them way too many opportunities in the paint which turned into free throw opportunites. I hope the coach still has confidence in me to keep me playing".
