Good luck Pistons, I see you have a significant downhill streak going on.

I won the season series 3-1.

Jazz going to be tough to beat with Kidd running the show, but I do have home court, hope that is enough to get to next round.  This will be a 7 games series.

There is no way that the Sacramento Queens get past Seattle in the first round.  Especially since McGrady is out for the first three games!!!

Big series ahead for KVH.

My team really came together the last 3 sims and have been playing my best ball in the last sim going 5-0 (8-2 in last 10). I think my talent will finally pay dividends. I was looking at the Mavs to win it this year though and I have to get through them first at Dallas

watch your language or i'll sweep you!

off course that t-mac is out, i didn't expect anything nice to happen anyway,  that was the only way to stop this super-turbo-fantastic-unstopable-never seen before-best ever in the history of ssba - machine called sacramento kings

I think itll be a close series in 7 games, but i think Sacto pulls it off, once Tmac gets back he should have HUGE games against Tayshaun. The 4 guys on the Kings can take over at any time, webber mcgrady miller and bibby. You just dont know where it comes from. I think their talent alone gets them past the 1st round. I dont think theyll go much farther than that though.

Pistons over Raptors???? If this league have more than 82games for each season, Raptors might be taking over the Eastern Conference.

Anyway, good luck bro! TD will make a living in the paint. He's the Major PAINt

Golden State Warriors versus the Minnesota Timberwolves

Sigh...  I have to find a way to slow Garnett down at least a little bit.

Wolves swept the season series, but have not faced the improved team with Ben Wallace and Brent Barry...

But since Garnett does not play PF anymore, Big Ben will not have a chance to lay the smackdown on Garnett...

It is up to Vlad Radman...   :?  Uh oh....

Why not move Wallace to the 3 and Radman to the 4? Anyway, Radman is a pretty good defender in his own right (and tall.) You match up pretty well with the t-wolves.

I would, but I hope that Wallace's help defense wil be very effective against Garnett on the inside.  On the outside, I do not think Ben could keep up at all.

Actually, I was very pleasantly surprised with Vlad's defensive rating.  He is of a similiar size as Garnett, so hopefully he can defend him half decently...  I can only hope.  He is the MVP after all..  :wink:

I was glad not to face the Twolves, Kirilenko or not...Garnett is still going to get his, but in return I have to face the Mavs, it's going to be a close matchup. The key being kirilenko vs. nowitski

I would have rather faced the Kings...  One because McGrady is out, and their opponent should be able to steal a game or two at home and eliminate home court advantage...

And the other reason is that I would love to be the team that ends the endless stream of trash talking...   :wink:

Yes, I made the playoffs!  :)

I see I'm matched up with the beast of the east, The New Orleans Hornets. Although I think I match up well with them. I won the season series 3-1. Here's the scores:

Day 30: Wiz 86 Hornets 80
Day 40: Hornets 83 Wiz 79
Day 84: Wiz 88 Hornets 82
Day 112: Wiz 87 Hornets 82

Should be a good match-up. Hopefully I can pull out an upset.  :)

i'm cool now, i know nothing can stop this team, even the worldwide-online conspiracy- from being the best.
if t-mac is healthy, than the things would just not be interested cause i'm too  powerfull for this Women SSBA .... :D  :D  :D

You have to get past the Sonics first.  And there's no way that is going down!

Well, I gotta work til 8 tonight, so this is the last time I'll be here to check in.

Pistons, best of luck to you. You're the best premiter defending team in the League, so you present a tough matchup.

Upsets:
Sonics over Kings (4-3)
Warriors over Timberwolves (4-1, 3 of the 4 warrior wins were by a combined 8 pts, OUCH).

76ers showed what a dangerous team they'll be in the playoffs.

Bucks and Wizards almost pulled huge upsets.  Had Odom been healthy those first 3 games, who knows.  When Odom came back they won 3 straight to force a game 7.

Wow, beat the Jazz in five games all of them are close games.  Houston here we come.  The battle of Texas.

I know!  :evil:

Too bad, I think I could of pulled it out if Odom was healthy the entire series.

Also, Odom ended up missing 4 games instead of just 2.  :(

i doesn't bother me that i've lost. it's the fact that the t-mac was healthy all over the season and right before the playoffs he went down for the next 3 games. whata fvckin unluck! :(

I'll see you next year...Kidd should be the same and then everyone else will be a year better, most notably Kirilenko who was already 2nd all-nba and 1st team all defense. It depends on free agency though whether I can get Hughes back and who I can pick up with my MLE and LLE. I might try shifting Okur to the four and give booth the start..we'll see though. It was a very close series, I maintained Dirk pretty well, but Dampier was the key matchup that killed me. Okur had no chance. Hope to see you make some damage so i know i didn't just lose to noone.

Is there a playoff scoring leader tab that I am missing?

It's on the left side, under Postseason.

nah.. I think Hornets is a more balanced team. I do think that they got the upperhand, plus the fact that they got home court advantage.

I do like to compare their team to last year's NBA champ, The pistons. THey dont have a superstar, but they play great team basketball offensively and defensively.

Well, it's true, their defense is alot tighter than yours.
