First, HATS OFF to PacersGM for the great series. Really admire his guts for some play-off adjustments that gave my team a hard time beating them. I'm really forward for their team next season, with their rebuilding plan and a lot of high quality players to unload.

The second round against the Hawks will be a tough one.

And what's tougher is stopping a 35ppg player who scores AT WILL in the paint. It's a different Hawks team that we've beat during the first half of the season, because guys like Hakeem and Blaylock have stepped up in carrying this team to elite status level.

I was wondering how the Hawks got the homecourt advantage, when I'm the 2nd seed and he's the 3rd seed?

Anyway, I'll try my luck and try to make some adjustments to see how to make the second round more interesting.

Pushed the Mavs to 7 games, but failed in the end.

Good luck to them the rest of the way.

well thanks for the kind words sixers but except for the first game none were even close just taking care of homecourt. and hawks have homecourt because they have the better season record.

:D

But aren't play-off seeding matter more than season record in the play-offs?

Well, good series Cavs. Kinda surprising how the season went for me. As well as the playoffs won one game convincingly, then all goes down the drain.

Looking forward to the offseason, obviously made some major changes last season, this year would be big for us as well. :D

Damn, i must confess im bit suprised.

With 9 players and both PGs injured, we still managed to win both games at home mostly thanks to Bargs and Ervin.

Bargs and him were just unstoppable, Bargs led in all 4 games but Ervin was amazing, including 2 triple doubles....

Game 1- 23pts 15rebs 6 blks and assists.

Game 2- 24pts 23rebs and 10 blocks.

Game 3- 22pts 16rebs and 8 blocks.

Game 4- 13pts 15rebs 10blks!! and fouled out even.


I really didnt expect a sweep without both PGs down, but those 2 were just too good.

Now we play Clipps. I hate to play the Clipps, we always struggle against them.

Tried to make some adjustments to make things interesting, but alas I fell in 5. But MAR and Paul both had an amazing series, and I didn't embarrass myself, so that's good enough for me.

Thought I had a shot in this series but definitely didn't think I would win it in 5. We're on a roll now, winning 18 of our 22, but the real test is coming now against the Pistons. Just hope to keep it close.

We're lucky to get out of the first round, my big got into foul trouble a lot, if not for Deron Willimas, we would be packing right now.

Good series, Hawks. Some hard fought battles, but in the end the better team prevailed.

Thanks you too!  It was a great series, very close, high scoring except for game 5.  Now I look onto the Sixers who will be a tough matchup.  I think if we had Derek Harper against Mr. Strickland, we would have a good shot.  That's not the case, so I think it will go 6 or 7, but be very close.  Good luck Sixers!

Threw in some changes vs the clippers and took them to 7.

We need wyatt rogers to become more consistent and improve his handle before we can be serious contenders
