I am an avid gamer of EA SPORTS NBA LIVE Series since its last 6 installments so I decided to to try my luck via Dynasty Mode using the Los Angeles Lakers as my team. Of course, I've downloaded all roster patches from http://www.nba-live.com/ so I can have Pau Gasol in my lineup. They have an updated roster that can be installed anytime and anywhere. I've finished the season with an 61-21 win-loss record which is second in the Western Conference behind the defending champions San Antonio Spurs (62-20). Yes, I've played all those 82 games with a 2-minute per quarter scenario. Kobe Bryant won the Most Valuable Player of the year at the end of the season and the Defensive Player of the Year after averaging almost 15 points per game and I also make some improvements on his passing abilities. Luke Walton was the Sixth Man of the Year and all 5 players in my starting lineup made it to the All-Defensive first team.
Playoffs First Round
It's time for the Playoffs. The team was seeded on the second spot of the Western Conference and has to play New Orleans Hornets led by premiere point guard Chris Paul. It was an easy first round ride for the team as they eliminated Chris Paul and company in 5 games and our next opponent- the Phoenix Suns.
Second round Playoffs
It was a renewal of western powerhouse rivalry as my team faced the trio of Steve Nash, Amare, and former Laker MVP Shaquille O'Neal. It was an head to head battle for teams until it all boils down to a deciding Game 7 which we won eventually. We are now headed to the Western Conference Finals.
West Finals
This is the first time we open the series on the road against the defending champs San Antonio Spurs but we played with confidence although we loss game 1 by 2 points against a Tim Duncan sideline jumper. We bounced back Game 2 and made an upset but home was not favorable for our team as we dropped games 3 and 4 making it a 3-1 hole in the series for us. I made a mindset to forget the numbers and just continue playing. Luckily, we reached Game 7 which we the team won and officially eliminating the San Antonio Spurs.
The Finals:
We are back at the Finals. And guess who our opponent is? Of course, its the Boston Celtics led by Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and sharpshooter Ray Allen or better known as the Celtics Big 3.
The Celtics reclaimed the East domination after ousting the Detroit Pistons in 6 games. So, the theme for the finals, obviously its REVIVING the RIVALRY.
Game 1 is set at the TD BankNorth Garden in Boston.
I will update you in this blog for the Games until we have our NBA Champion team.
