Coming into this match up San Antonio looks to to team leader Tony Parker to get his team out of their current slump(3-7 last 10 gms) it's not gonna be an easy task because the suddenly resurgent Cleveland Cavs come to town with a new level of intensity. Look for Parker to try to control the flow of the game by protecting the ball since the Spurs defense is ranked at the bottom of the league in most categories. Let's check tonight's lineup and get down to the sideline for the tip.

The battle of star point guards didn't disappoint








This was a game that Cleveland clearly dominated defensively. Tony Parker and Danny Green did all they could to keep this game close but from the tip it just seemed lik the Cavs night.


Kyrie Irving led his troops into battle and almost had a triple double despite 5 turnovers and chipping in with two blocks.


Joakim Noah and Kendall Latimer clogged the lane and forced the Spurs to take heavily contested shots all night long. The energy shown by the Cavs since the arrival of Noah and the newly acquired Stephen Jackson is putting teams on notice. When Tristan Thompson returns from injury watch out eastern conference!


But on a night when the leading rookie ROTY candidate Justin "JoJo" Washington went off for 38pts 6rebs and 5ast he may have been up staged by the flash and sheer skill of super 6th man Kareem Packett.


"21 points in 22 mins on 10-17 shooting...WOW" quoted Parker after the game. "All the scouting reports say Kyrie's the star so you focus most of your schemes to slow him down and he finds guys open and they make you pay." "It was never a moments rest out there once Kyrie took a rest this kid Packett comes in a gives our defense fits...tough game against a hungry team my congrats goes out to them for their play tonight."

Reporter: Coach Dreece can I get a word?!

Dreece: Yea what's up?

R: Tonight's game your team seems to be really buying into your philosophies can you give us some insight on that?

D: Well let's not get to ahead of ourselves it's only been two games since I arrived and we have a long way to go this season next step is to get back to .500. But to be honest when you look into a mans eyes you can tell if he's with the cause or if he's in it for himself. I'm surrounding myself and this franchise with team players..bottom line.

D: I preach defense a playing ball like the 90's man..tough, rugged, raw every shot gets contested and we get out in transition. I believe with our current roster we can accomplish alot this season if we buckle down and play tough MAN TO MAN defense.

R: With all this talk about defense you would think you had the 92 Knicks out there. You have name like JoJo, Shabazz, Irving, Packett they aren't exactly defensive masterminds you know.

D: Actually I was thinking more in the lines of the Bad Boys with Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, and Vinnie the microwave. That's the kind of aura I want around this team!! NOBODY will out work or intimidate us, we will force our will on you for 48 full minutes and hopefully our work will show up in the win cloumn.

R: OK coach I don't wanna hold you up to much longer I just wanna ask you a question that's been blowing up the sports blogs lately?

D: Ok this should be interesting...

R: There has been rumors flying around the Kareem Packett is secretly unhappy with his sixth man role and he believes that he is the best guard on the roster and he has requested a trade to a bigger market mainly New York.

D: (Laughs hysterically) Unhappy..lol let me tell you something..whats your name??

R: Jack...Jack Bleacher.

D: Let me tell you something JACK! Kareem was one of the first players to reach out to me when I was named coach and he assured me that he was on board with everything I pitched to the team about the direction of the franchise. I'm pretty sure your sources made a mistake on that one..JACK!

R: Your brash Philadelphia attitude is gonna rub some players the wrong way coach. None off today's stars would play for you.

D: And that Bronx accent you been trying to hide aint fooling nobody either! I know what your doing...your trying to take the shine the players have been receiving because your Knicks are coming to town in a few days. Well let me tell you something JACK I'm gonna make sure the boys and Mr so called unhappy Kareem Packett show your guys a good time in Cleveland.

D: If that's the kind of hate we're getting already then I'm doing my job!!




Next Game vs. the under achieving New York Knicks

How do you get your pictures from the game onto your dynasty?
 
# 2 Dreece @ Mar 26
I used an HD-PVR to record gameplay and to get the pics. They range from $100-$200 on Amazon. Then just resize your pic to 600 pixels so the whole pic can fit on your dynasty page. Alternatively you can go to gametrack during your game or instant replay and save pics then upload to 2ksports.com. Sometimes saved replays freeze your XBOX so I just shelled out the cash to get an HD-PVR. Thanks for following I got some more updates coming soon and a surprise for the followers of our draft class project stay tuned
