[NBA2k] Grizzlies - 1998/99 Preview
tsmoha
@all: As the season's almost done, I will try to fasten things up a little bit, as I think, the most interesting parts for Vancouver will take place in off-season, right?!

March 1998 - Results


Grizzlies record: 18-54

Remember this year's goal for the Grizzlies? 17+ wins. Otherwise Vancouver would have set a new record for the worst 4 consecutive seasons (set by Dallas in early 90's). And with the last game in March, the Grizzlies got their 18th win in 1997-98, with another win against the Houston Rockets (28-44).. 5 wins for Vancouver in March, it seems like the team found a way to compete with the league. Still, the Grizzlies retain the NBA's 30th place this season and it's all about hoping for the NBA draft, right?!


March Part #1: Some impressions

Mitch Richmond scored 36 points (11-21 FG's) in the Kings' close 104-103 win over Vancouver.. Shareef Abdur-Rahim (26 points) and Bryant Reeves (17) were the only Grizzlies in double figures.

Shawn Kemp dominated the boards (37 points, 9 reb) in Cleveland's 110-106 win against Vancouver, who missed their chance for the 18th win this year.. Vancouver's best were Abdur-Rahim (24 pts while shooting poor 7-23 FG), Reeves (21 pts) and new back-up center Marc Jackson, who had 9 pts in 14 minutes.

And finally the Grizzlies got their win #18! Abdur-Rahim led Vancouver past the Rockets, scoring 33 pts (11-19 FG's). Reeves (12 pts, 8 reb), Mack (16 pts) and John Rillie (10 pts in 13 minutes) were in double figures as well, while Bobby Jackson (picture) had 7 dishes...

18 wins, who would have thought that back in January. Well, i was hoping for it all the time. Smile
Good luck for the last 10 games, cant wait for the action packed off-season for Grizzlies!
I'll be back

@Avin: Thanks! Yeah, it didn't look like we would make the 18, but finally we made it Wink

@all: I simmed most of the 10 remaining matches, so I will jump right to final standings and statistics. As you may notice, the simming made Vancouver win some more games, unfortunatelly I was too tired to "restart" that simming, so the Raptors made the 30th spot in NBA Wink Well, maybe the draft lottery will look different though.

Yep: https://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic....mp;t=82784

@Mre: Yes, we got our goal. And the Raptors were just too bad in the end, but it's still surprising that the simmed games ended 7-3 for the Grizzlies Wink It's okay, let the Raptors draft Vince Carter then Pfft

Shaq had a monster season, in the end, he is a monster Smile
Good digits also for your important trio Shareef, Reeves and Bobby Jackson, now bring in some more quality to them...
I'll be back

I'm back with this story Smile But I'm not sure if I'll update this story on PCMdaily as well, so for now, I will continue only on NLSC-forum: Grizzlies on NLSC

Anyway.. if you're still interested and don't want to follow on NLSC, please let me know. The more people vote for a PCMdaily-comeback, the more I will consider this Wink

Thank you, guys Smile Glad you're still interested and hope you'll enjoy this "comeback". I will then continue the story on Daily's as well, even though some parts of this will be more detailed on NLSC Wink (Especially the trading cards and the "First post"-updates).. but let's not talk to much, here's the Regular season's awards.. a rather short playoff-recap will be on later, I do want to the off-season to be started soon!

NBA Playoffs 1997-98

No "3-peat" for the Bulls.. what's next? - The Bulls came off a solid 55-27 regular season, as 2nd best team behind the Pacers. Michael Jordan grabbed another MVP-title with 31ppg and no one expected this Bulls to NOT reach the finals again.. BUT.. It took six games against the Bucks to see all the dreams of a second "3-peat" fading. The question is, what's next for this Bulls? Nearly the entire team is without contract for 1998/99: Jordan (will he retire?), Pippen, Kukoc, Rodman, as well as bench-players like Luce Longley or Ron Harper. Will this aging team go for another deep run in 1999? Is Jordan going to stay for another re-build, if Pippen and Kukoc will leave? Phil Jackson may be the key factor in this considerations..

Duncan vs Shaq 1.0 - Lakers vs Spurs.. It's time for "Rookie of the year" Tim Duncan to question the supremacy of Shaq O'Neal.. The Lakers continued to struggle in the playoffs, they never found a way to make their early-season addition Hakeem Olajuwon fit into the rotation, which would have been so important against the Spurs' twin-towers Duncan/David Robinson. It's unlikely that LA will add too much depth to their roster in off-season. They simply have to find a way to make Kobe, Shaq and an aging Hakeem work together.. As for Duncan and the Spurs: a promising season, a promising future. Duncan will be dominant within the next 2 years at least.

Is this it, Pacers? - The best team in regular season (59 wins) never found to it's game in playoffs. 4-3 over the 8th seeded Hornets and then 3-4 against a Knicks-team, that sometimes struggled in regular season (47-35). Yes, no one really expected this Pacers to win the finals, especially with the East being that competitive (7 teams with 47 or more wins). But of course it's the right time to question, wether this 30+ aged-Pacers (Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, Rik Smits) can repeat their success or not?! All of their All-Stars will stay in 1998 (as long as they won't be traded), so if Barkley will return in shape for next season, there's still a chance for a another try.

No 3-peat?? History is changingPfft
Lest's go Patrick, you must win this final!
 
Mresuperstar
I'm picking the Knicks as well. Wink Can't wait to see how you handle the off-season... especially the draft.

I am on the side of "The Glove" and his Sonics. Cool Never was a fan of Knicks to be honest, but i love Grizzlies, looking forward to the next season and possible changes. Smile
Good to see that MJ got another MVP.
I'll be back
 
tsmoha
@ste_18: History is changing, yes Smile As a MJ-"hater", I'm glad for that.

@Mre: I'm excited about the off-season as well.

@Avin: As a fan of the Knicks, I have to disagree Wink But let's see..

img89.imageshack.us/img89/1645/minilogosseattle98.png Seattle SuperSonics vs img855.imageshack.us/img855/5171/minilogosnewyorkk.png New York Knicks


Game 1: Sonics - Knicks 118-88
Game 2: Sonics - Knicks 99-66
Game 3: Knicks - Sonics 79-89
Game 4: Knicks - Sonics 98-63
Game 5: Sonics - Knicks 93 - 101
Game 6: Knicks - Sonics 85-94
(Seattle wins series by 4-2)


Sonics take the NBA championship, beating the Knicks in six


The Seattle SuperSonics win their second NBA championship (the first in 1979)! Gary Payton was named the Final's MVP, he averaged 21.4points, 5.5rebounds and 6.3assists in the playoffs, while shooting 46% from 3-point-range and adding 1.8steals as well. It's the first NBA title for 30 years old Payton, who plays for Seattle since 1990. Vin Baker, who joined the Sonics prior to the season (in a trade, that sent Shawn Kemp to Cleveland), was Seattle's best scorer in the playoffs, while veterans like Schrempf and Haywkins added both 10+ in ppg.. The Knicks, who surprisingly made the finals, had simply too less offensive efficiency. In Game 2 of the finals, the team managed to score only 15 points in second half. They took revenge for that blow-out loss though, with Seattle only scoring 63 in Game 4. But in the end, the Knicks (with Patrick Ewing as the best scorer with 19ppg) missed an outstanding performer like Payton, who takes the MVP-honour well deserved.
