Title: Finals Discussion: Cavs v. Sonics - Coming Up
Post by: NetsGM on November 11, 2008, 09:25:48 PM
Both you boys are on-line, so how bout a little drama?

Game by game? Quarter by quarter when it gets to the crunch?

Both Sonics and Cavs have agreed to do the whole finals tonight.

Game one:

Cavs 118, Sonics 98 - Cavs lead 1-0, Evan Rosow absolutely going off for 43 and the Sonics having no answer for him or DRob, who poured in 32.

Game two:

Cavs 118, Sonics 98 - Cavs lead 2-0, winning by the exact same score which I don't ever recall happening. Rosow and Person were that much better than Bird and Manning, with the Cavs D owning the glass and causing many SEA TO's, which looks to have been the difference.

Game three:

Sonics 105 - Cavs 89 - Cavs lead 2-1, Sonics too balanced in this one, with incredible ball movement (31 assists to 10 TO's) leading to superior FG%'s for SEA.

Game four:

Cavs 115, Sonics 98 - Cavs lead 3-1, rule the glass and get good shots, hitting 50% from three - DRob, Rosow and Person are too much to contain.

Game five:

Cavs 118, Sonics 89 - Cavs win handily, 4-1 and are our 2028 SSBA champions. David Robinson's contributions on both ends of the floor earn him MVP honours.

Congrats, Cavs on the great team you've assembled. Great job by the Sonics, who pulled together a great late spurt and amazing playoff run.

Uploading now.

**To the rest of the league: not had much time to sit with the extension offers, but with Spurs being gone for a bit, we should have some time. Will get them out as soon as I can.

Let me be the first to congratulate the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I figured that I didn't have a chance, but I am extremely pleased with such a great playoff run. 

In addition, I hope my win rating has improved with the win (cause I am going to have loads of cap space this offseason)

Thanks a lot. Congrats to you as well Sonics. It feels good to bring back home the championship 11 seasons later. Hopefully there will be some more to come, if we can keep this core together.

Congrats Cavs, and to think, my Hawks had you down 3-1 and on the cusp of having a 1st round exit.  Oh well maybe next year.

well done, Cavs. That title finally gets the trophy where it belongs.
 :cheers:

Still not sure you could have solved the Hornets, but sometimes you need a little bracket luck too. And you took care of the rest of the league powerhouses pretty much.

Now we have a new team to beat (especially with the pending Dwight retirement getting the Pacers back to earth), hope we get the chance for another season here ...

Congrats to both ! esp. Cavs for taking the title.

Congrats to both teams..

To the Sonics, who I and the whole league completely underrate. And yet, they won series after series then finally losing to a great team with the Cavs.

To the Cavs for great roster management. Starting from maintaining their core player with David and Chuck last season. Then made a huge splash in the FA with resining Evan Rossow (a very useless player haha jk), Frank Johnson and Matthew Hobson. It was a very Netsque move. And lastly, for winning the most prestigious SSBA championship! =D

Well done guys.

Although I doubt anyone could argue with the Rockets being the best team this year... y'all got lucky!

well, we can easily agree with the Rockets being among the best chokers  of the year.

Going out uneventfully against a .500 team in round 1. If not for the Warriors implosion, that would get you the "hardware" by a landslide ...
