farthest the team has gone for a while now. hopefully, we can make the finals but the wizards are a tough opponent too.

played just as good as anyone. lucky to have ended on top.
nice series, bulls.

[WolvesGM]

Whoa.... whata series.... 7games and it comes down to a 1point game.

[CelticsGM]

That was a REAL GOOD one, props to the Nets for taking me to the limit.

First game went to OT, and my hero was Tyler with a triple double: 28pts, 12reb and 14blk (!!!). He also held Gminski to 7-26 shooting.
Next game the Nets again stormed back in the 4th to take a 2pt win after tyler was limited to 18min with foul trouble.

Then a blowout in Jersey. Lets forget that one.
Being down 1-2 in the series and facing a 7pt deficit in the 4th quarter, Perry and Chills went to work, forcing OT with a 38pt quarter and later providing the 130-127 win, hitting 6 of 10 from long range.

Tied 2-2 game 5 was a must win, and finally the Celtics didn't disappoint. Tyler with 18/12 and 7 blocks led the way to an easier win. Just 7 TOs show how it's done.

Back in Jersey for game 6 the team finally provided an all-around effort after halftime, scoring 71 pts, shooting a series best 54% and taking home a 7pt victory and the series win 4-2.


Overall in the series Chills, Tyler and Dirk were amazing. Childress led our scoring with 23ppg, 7rpg and 1.7blk, shooting 48% while Tyler finished with 16/10 and 6.7bpg !!! Old man Dirk again shot great, 16ppg on 55% from the field and 53% from 3pt. And he held King to 11ppg on 35% shooting, sometimes it's hard to forget he's 38 yrs of age already ...



Next up: Cavs.

Celtics went to the 2nd round? What kinda playoffs is this?

[SpursGM-old]

Went the distance with the Mavs with the home team winning every game.  Haven't looked at individual performances yet.  But with my starting PF & C both out...and losing another big man (Pollard) for games 5 & 6, this showing give me hope that my team is going in the right direction.

[BlazersGM]

Well, i wont lie, im shocked at this easy win. We were 1-3 in regular season vs Suns, 3 of them were blowouts, but i adjusted the game to tactics from the only sim were we beat the Suns, and ive changed Buehler to guard GP on SG and he went down again for 2 games to make things easier for us a bit as we met for 2nd time, and moved Phelps on SF, gaved Livingston 1st option to lead the team with his as well height advantage and it worked just perfectly with a bit of bad luck from Suns. Boozer worked great as  3rd option.

Game 1 102-94 Livinstone was shining with 28/6/8, Kirk couldnt do a
thing, Buehler held GP on 10-27 while shooting great himself 9-17 for 21 pts and 10 rebs. Phelps added 17/10 and Booz 15/12.

Game 2 GP got injured but game was a really thriller, in the end we came out as 79-77 winners. Boozer 20/14, Livy 19/11 and Buehler 12/9 3blks 2stls led the team to a crucial win.

Game 3 @101-95 ... Shaun 22/8, Phelps 19/11 and Boozer 18/17 cruised us past GP less Suns in Phoenix.

Game 4  84-106 .... GP was back for Suns and with a near triple double we got trashed.

Game 5 @98-97 ....another thriller in Phoenix, Suns had a chance for a full come back, but the BIG 4 did fantastic job and Phelps pulled a 3 pointer with 0:01 to take us to semi's. Buehler once again did great job on Pettit, held him to 9-27 FG and 3-10 3pt. Phelps led the team with 31/6/5 but Steven was the real deal. 24 points, 18 rebs, 2 steals on 11-24 and more important, great D on Pettit. Livingston had 7 steals and Booz ended with 15/13.

Now comes the Jazz, they got 2 easy wins during regular season and we got 2 as well but hard, they were very close.

[MavsGM]

Almost another early exist for the Mavs.  We played our best game in game 7. 

[PacersGM]

Celtics went to the 2nd round? What kinda playoffs is this?

hey look at the boxscores then you will understand...
nets could have won easy...

[CelticsGM]

exactly. they only would have had to beat me 4 times ...
 



btw, Pacers, we don't expect anything more from Ivan, but didn't your posts be meaningful once?

[BlazersGM]

jesus, i just noticed Livingstone has been SG for the entire season and i didnt even notice it LOL. I need new glasses.

[CelticsGM]

jesus, i just noticed Livingstone has been SG for the entire season and i didnt even notice it LOL. I need new glasses.

I hope this is a rhetorical remark ...
 

since the position Livingston is listed on your roster has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with any play action!
I assumed it's common knowledge already the roster is for INFORMATION purposes only, to see how some player WOULD play at certain positions.

[BlazersGM]

yeah, i just found it funny i didnt notice his listed position the entire season.

[KingsGM-old]

I'm pullin for the Mavs this year to win it all.

[MavsGM]

I'm pullin for the Mavs this year to win it all.

My team will have a hard time getting pass the Wolves if we played like that against the Spurs.
