Yeah, great run Kings, but I'm pulling for the Clippers. They've been knocking at the doorstep for so long that they deserve this.

Well, really cannot complain about my offense at all, it was great.
Dirk Nowitzki : 31.5 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 5 apg, and 2.2 spg on 46% and 43%. Offensively, an incredible performance, and he did a pretty good job defending brand as well. Great performance.
Kirk Hinrich : 22 ppg, 10.7 apg, 1.5 spg and only 2.2 tpg, on 52% and 48% shooting. Came back from his injury in a big way, and played better then could be hoped against a great defender like Gordon.
Luol Deng : 20 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.3 apg, 2.8 spg on 50% and 55% shooting. Wow. Deng has been magificent in these playoffs, showing that he may be ready to take the offensive load from Dirk in a couple seasons. However, Corey Maggette ate him alive defensively, though...
Don Ruffin : 12.2 ppg, 11.7 rpg, 3.5 bpg, 2.2 spg on 45% shooting. The 1st team all defense PF showed his ability, grabbing rebounds, blocking shots, and scoring at a good clip, while doing a good job on Kwame Brown...
And the man who killed the season...
Jim Finley : 3 ppg, 5.7 rpg, on 24% shooting. Crushed at the center position, and crushed badly. Tyson Chandler dominated both Finley and Rubini. And that was the series...

Yeah, this is about as happy as I've been with the way the playoffs have played out. Everyone here has been deserving. Sure, there are some other deserving teams (mainly the hornets and warriors), but there are only 4 open slots. I think all the teams here are great teams, I don't think that's necessarily been the case in the past.

Yao played great, as expected, but Petit was able to dominate Perry, which made a world of hurt.
...
Oh well. Wasn't exepecting to win the series, and got exactly what I expected.
Now imagine Pettit getting defended by some real SG, like a lets say 6'6" veteran, freeing Perry to come from the bench on SG/PG. I wouldn't say this would have won the series, but with so many tight games and Pettit going off big time it's safe to assume this could have been different too. And you were soooooo close ...  |

If he could have mustered some offense in games 2 and 3 he would have had a chance. He was up 8 going into the 4th of game 2, then only scored 17 in the 4th. he then scored 14 in the 4th in game 3, and was within 5 entering the 4th quarter of game 5.
Especially game 2. Game 2 was very winnable. I couldn't do squat through 3 quarters.

Dunleavy has been a flat out amazing fit with this team. He's given me the same level defense of Battier with more aggressive play, an ability to create for others, more outside shooting and much more rebounding. I'm so glad I didn't worry about giving up Antonio Turkoglu. And to think, I almost turned that down because I didn't expect Dunleavy to start. 12.1 pts, 7.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.5 steals so far in the playoffs. Just a perfect compliment. I feel bad for Shane, who's now been relegated to 11 mpg in the playoffs after helping me win a title last year, but he's a team player  |

No, i don't think Perry was the only reason, but i think we can agree that Perry will never be a fulltime SG starter at 6'1". So what do you wait for, while Yao is in his prime ? Why not get an update NOW. Forget Ginobili, who's numbers against Pettit were equally bad this year (though he had to cover for Lenard's "defense" all season), but ANY better would give you better team balance ...  |

He is very similar to Artest on my team ( too bad i couldn´t find a combo to get him ) |
