My Association (Game-by-Game)
I'm going to give a game-by-game recap of my association. If no one is interested let me know. I use The Truth's sliders.
To start I am the Cavs. I signed Andy Rautins to close to the minimum, and a kid from the D-League (92 3-pt) for minimum.
First Game: My Cavs had to go onto the road against the rival Boston Celtics. It was a back-and-forth game all the way through the 1st half. I took a 1-pt lead into half time, thanks to being 13/19 from the free throw stripe. The game remained close throughout the 3rd quarter, and the Celtics took a 2-pt lead into the fourth quarter. The Cavs stayed in the game despite Paul Pierce having 28 points on 10-19 shooting. With the Celtics leading late, the Cavs started to make a push. The Cavs pulled out to a 5 point lead wth 4 minutes to go. Then, Byron Scott made a risky move. With his players tired, he pulled all of his starters for the next 1:30 to give them a rest. Their fresh legs proved good enough and held on for a 96-86 victory. The cavs were up by 5, but 2 free throws and a buzzer beater 3 made it 10. Trinstan Thompson had 13 points, Anthony Parker had 16 and was 4-7 from beyond the arc, Anderson Varejao had 17 and 9 boards, and the leading scorer was #1 overall pick Kyrie Irving, with 19 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds. Coach Byron Scott said, "It was a great victory tonight. Kyrie really ran the point guard position great tonight. He was distributed the ball and making space for open shots for himself. I think this was a confidence booster, but we have to focus on Toronto coming to the Q in a few days."
