Playoffs Discussion

[CelticsGM]

Now it's obvious why the Heat tried that hard to get rid of Gasol, he's a joke now, costing them the series (on both ends of the floor). But I still give the upper hand in the CF to the Raptors, since the Hornets are basically Yao and TMac and I see the latter getting shut down enough to enable the Raps some ugly 83-79 decisions (sure Yao will average 38 but if Pavel can't keep Boykins from getting 25ppg on his own the stingy ones are in trouble)

Congrats also to our little sweeping whiner, who will find out why the Warriors made the Suns my silent fav to go the distance this year. Chip, you can do it, this will be the year of the Sunrise !!!
 

(but then again, what a missed opportunity for the Celtics this season, seeing how weak the league has gotten after those dynasty years)
 

[BlazersGM]

Well Tom, "the sweeping whiner" agrees with you, i think Suns have about 70 % chances to win this series, but ill try to find some solutions so that my 30 % chances prevail, its tough to say based on season series as they completely trashed me every time with old team, but after they traded for GP500 it was a close game that they won by 3 and where Williams and Clement did good job on stopping GP500 while Williams was unstoppable for GP, he shot 9/10 from floor. However now its time for some deeper thinking to see who'll play and at which position, so far ive made only some bench little changes and slight gameplay, but now i have to think about maybe replacing 1 or 2 starters or moving them to other position.

Lol...  they do have two of my starters from my multiple years of excellent play...  Oh, I still miss the Hinrich!!!

it's not Hinrich i'm talking about ... and never forget you didn't TRADE him but lost him as punishment for trying to resign him cheap

[BlazersGM]

who were you talking about then ?

[GoldenStateGM]

who were you talking about then ?

Big bad Don Ruffin....
One of the better PF defenders in the league...

[BlazersGM]

oh yeah, i remembered now he was yours, i think i even tried to get him, well i just sent my DC and i can only pray as no matter how much i was thinking about my DC i found my chances of winning this series very slim, it'll probably go 4-2 in favour of Suns.

If i wasnt so stupid and forgot to remove Cunningham and Ricardo (Bird as well) off my IL list in sim 12 i would have lots of options, but now having only 2 centers and only 1 true PF available im really screwed, im pretty sure chances would be 50/50 if i didnt make that mistake, like this my chances are super low, but i wont complain, this is my biggest achievement so far and im really happy ive made so far. Next season shall be our season with newest trade, if TC doesnt screw up everything we can go all the way, but for sure these more or less oldies are now ready to make big things in next 3-4 seasons before i go into rebuilding process.

[PacersGM]

ok season is over
couldn´t steal homecourt advantage from the hornets and even it was a game 7 serie it was never close enough. I really hoped i had a chance to steal one of the first games hornets played without pavel but dan proved he is a better defender than pavel against guys who can shoot midrange jumpers like JO.
Not sure what to do with my FA as long i don´t know if JO will retire or not.

[NetsGM]

Conference finals up.

Congrats to the Raptors and Blazers.  I wouldn't have picked them at the beginning of the year, that's for sure.

[BlazersGM]

i can only say WOW.

[BlazersGM]

what a weird series CHRIS BOSH and CARLOS CLEMENT FOR MVP !!

cant believe i did all this with only 1 center(2 if Nolan counts as one) and 1 PF, i can only wonder what would
happen with 3 main backups i dont have in PO's.

Congrats to Suns for great series and special congratulations to my team, you guys made me proud.

It didnt start promising with 21pt loss in Phoenix. Bosh had best PO perfomance with 23/17, Hoffa 22/10 on 50 %
and Telf 16/6/12, Clement was good as well...however Buehler couldnt do anything to stop Roan and neither Clement
and Williams to stop GP500 who dropped 51 on my team.

Then came a promising 105-101 win, Bosh again was best player on court 24/6 on some 63 % from floor and 100 % FT.
GP500 unstoppable again with 39, and again Buehler couldnt do shit defending Roan...but WE WON.

Suns then demoralized my team with 15pt win in Portland, Hoffa woke up dropping 31/17, Bosh and Clement were great
but again no answer for GP500(37) and Roan(23).

Finally in Game 4 we saw some good defense, my team was leading 48-25 at HT but Suns almost won this one with a
great 52-35 2nd HT perfomance, 83-77 for us in the end. Clement and Buehler finally stopped GP500(19) and Roan(19),
Hoffa and Buehler led Blazers with 19/14 and 19/9, Bosh was a true revelation of this series, 17/12 3blk this time.

Another easy win by Phoenix 109-96, Hoffa had a shoot out 13-33 for 36/14, Buehler 15/13 on 60 %, Bosh another good
game.

WHAT A DEFENCE !! Clement shot down GP500 for only 8pts on 3-24 from floor, AMAZING ! 92-80, easy win, great D.
Hoffa was monstrous 30/23, Buehler 23/7 on great % again.

AND WE DID IT !! Roan we couldnt stop in single game, but Telf did great shuting down Hinrich couple of times and
Clement was the guy that decided the series, he shut down GP500 again, he was 8-26FG and 1-7 from 3PT this time.

Hoffa 31/18 2blk, Buehler 21/14, Bosh 19/19 and BABY BLAZERS BLAZED INTO SSBA FINALS !

[RaptorsGM]

Wow....I've never made it to the Finals in my FBB career...which is probably about 25 seasons, most as a playoff team, many as a contender.

It's a great feeling to know that the changes I made led me to defeat the best team in the league. I made my 3 options my 1 2 and 3, and made my focus outside. I also trapped and pressed more often than usual.

Great series Hornets. And Good Luck to you, Blazers. Was 2-0 against them this year. I'll also have homecourt.

[BlazersGM]

WE're 0-2 with 2 easy wins by Raps during the season, so ill just pray here to win 1-2 games and that'll satisfy
me for my 1st finals appearance in SSBA.

[RaptorsGM]

You're so modest. 

[RaptorsGM]

Gonna be an interesting series.

We should get Bods to run it now instead of waiting
