finals done

[PacersGM]

i am 2-1 up. i feel sorry for the nuggets since evans went down with an injury after game 1. magic is killing me.
kersey took over after evans left. dwight is a monster and is getting nice help by newcomb and adams.
shultz and collins are pretty even imo.

[CelticsGM]

poor Nuggets.

Guess that's it then, as Evans wouldn't come back before game 6 ... and the Nuggets would have to win game 4 or 5 for that to even happen. And without their best player to contain Kersey (*) I can't see that happen

Unfortunately, as the Nuggets seem to be the better team ...



(*) time to reflect that horrible crap deal again, which is the main reason the Pacers made it past the first playoff round.

Ughhhhhh you gotta be kidding me. All I ask if for a fair playing field to see who the better team really is, guess that wont happen. As Tom said, its basically over from our end. Evans is our best player and we cannot win this series without him (as games 2 and 3 showed).

[CelticsGM]

well, with games 4 and 5 at home you COULD take one. game 2 already was tight and game 3 was fairly close too ... and you won't shoot 36% forever ... so hope dies last

the main question would be, tweak the DC or not.

If you keep it and make it to game 6 you could pull it ... if you change it, and make it to game 6, but are facing two road games with a NOT perfect DC, you might not. But you got to make it to game 6 first ...

(man I would LOVE to even be in a situation making such decisions in a final series ...)

[WizardsGM]

There has already been some tweaking made, but nothing major.

[HornetsGM]

Man that sucks a lot that an injury happened. It really hurts both teams since they'll both ask "could I have won it without that injury."

[PacersGM]

true that is really bad, wish i would have a series at full strength.
nuggets made a great adjustment and made it a 7 game series.
but home court advantage was enough this time again to repeat. MVP Howard.
good series nuggets. you have build a heck of a team.

that is all

[NetsGM]

Congrats Pacers.

Nuggets made something of a quantum leap this year, which was very impressive, so congrats to them too. Sounds like a great series, and a big shame about the key injury.

[BlazersGM]

I was cheering for Nuggs but injury slowed them down. Congrats to Pacers.
