props to my guys for making it a 7 game series, but you can't expect to win when you drop two close ones at home as lower seed. Kleine did have a great series taking out their leading scorer for 3 games, but not having a clear-cut go-to guy has hurt us all season ... and it did too in game 7.

Congratulations Cavs, hope you can keep it up against the Bugs.

And special HOORAY to Marin for giving the former champs some extended tee time. After that Hakeem-bolting and then injury riddled season nobody deserved it more than you.

And great I can now root for the Mavs. It wasn't necessary you made your pick worthless on the final 3 days of the season (where it dropped from #15 to #21), but at least you proved you're a worthy team. And if you played like that all season it would be a #25-27 pick.

Cool

I'm nervous about the Cavs series. I was 1-3 against them in the regular season. This has serious upset potential.

yea they are possible the only team in the east that can really take advantage of your weakness. i think it will be a close series.

Good team effort from the Nets, who have historically lost this type of series. As far as this off-season goes, I have already decided that I will not be blowing this team up at the last minute.

Manning and Pryz were by no means dominant, but they battled hard - Pryz had three six-block efforts in the series, but did have a rough go against the more physical and seasoned Munson. MJ really turned it up on the D side as the series went on, which is nice. Jonny K banged bodies all series, and Mags owned Lord which was pretty much the biggest difference in the series.

Not looking forward to the Pacers so much, who have had a consistent playoff edge over me the past many seasons. Good luck, Pacers.

Wow, a great series against the Lakers, with an ugly 7th game, which we won only by forcing 25 turnovers...

The talking too. that Lester received, he heard load and clear.  Only has on game with more then 11 shots, and since he was 12 for 19, he was forgiven.

Vern also came up huge, scoring 42,26,31, and 31 to close out the series.

Doleac also took 3 more shots per game in the last 4 games, going from a paltry 43% shooting in the 1st 3, to 51% in the final four games.

Now, onto the Spurs...  A very tough match-up for my squad..

Wow, it seems our changes worked out, but what a close series. I moved Kerr to nr.1 option after fantastic 1st 3 games and changed trap/pressing to always/often.

We looked lost after 3pt home defeat.

But then magic(+ luck) happened....

Zeke and Kerr led us to 4pt win in Denver.

Then Zeke's 40/10 perfomance led us to another 4pt win at home.

Zeke again led us with 30/10 to 3rd straight 4pts win in Denver to make an upset.

3 straight 4pts wins, amazing.

Congrats to Nuggs as well, fantastic series, after both teams crushed visiting ones in first 3 games, next 4 were decided by 4 and 3 points.

Thanks Tom, i guess my players played with heart like Hawks vs Celtics in NBA. And after all those frustrations with losing Hakeem, then Zeke's injury's in most important sim of the season, then Kersey, we somehow managed to sneak into POs and make an upset. Im delighted, i couldnt ask for more, now we can try for another one, but even if we fail, i can just applaude my guys. Thumbs up.
