PO Round One - Friday Morning?

[NetsGM]

Sorry guys, deadlines on some reports that haven't gone as smoothly as hoped. Have to focus on those tonight. Looks like I have most if not all DC's in my inbox, so either tomorrow morning or night at the latest....with the next sim not being 'til Sunday, shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Will do last check in and extensions then, too.

[CelticsGM]

don#t forget we split the playoff rounds into two parts, the first sim covering the games 1-3 only, and the 2nd sim for games 4-7 around 12 hours later to leave time for changes ...

[NetsGM]

Sorry, Tom and others. I can't make that time commitment and posted the schedule accordingly back when I offered to sim.

Am inputting and simming right now - good luck playoff teams.

Pay attention!

I knew that...

[CelticsGM]

I didn't ... and it cost me the series, probably

Unfortunately we lost game 3 after blowing a 12 point 4th quarter lead ... this one after splitting the first 2 games in Indiana ... then came back to blow out the Pacers in game 4 ... only to lose another close one in Indy, where the Celtics held both Orlando and Sabas in check, only to have little known C Gugliotta beat us (who averaged 8ppg for the rest of the series) ... and finally Derek Harper came back for game 6 - and we gave up 141 points IN REGULATION in that contest (this after outscoring the Pacers 106ppg to 105ppg in the first 5 games !!!)

Well, close, but not enough. Maybe some former multi-MVP coming from the bench would fit us as well ...


Good luck, Pacers, should be an easy road the rest of the way for title # 5

[NetsGM]

Round one has been simmed and uploaded. Playoff brackets don't seem to have uploaded (when I checked anyway), but results are available from Team Roster/Team Schedules. Have PM's Bods to let him know, see if he can't fix it up.

Surprisingly strong series for the Nets, balanced attack, high TO numbers were not too debilitating this time around. Good series, Pistons.

[Iverson2Korver43]

It definately makes a difference doing the whole round in one sim...  Would have been nice to be able to make adjustments...  As of right now I can't even see who made it through the 1st round though...

[BlazersGM]

well i did

good series Nuggs, now onto Lakers who beat GSW (damn) :S

[CelticsGM]

fascinating sidenote:

In the Western part of the bracket, ALL teams with homecourt advantage lost, so 5th to 8th seeds advanced. Never have seen such happening before.

And thanks to the Hawks collapse after leading 3-1 all higher seeds advanced in the East.

[HawksGM]

Hakeem gets dominated by D-Rob in game 7 and that costs us the series.  We were up 3-1 then lost a couple close games in 5 and 6 and got blown out in game 7.  Not going to blow things up, we are just going to have to make a move to get more one more player to compliment Hakeem and Simmons.

That was a tragic collapse, D-Rob proved he's better than Hakeem in clutch games, thats for sure.

[SonicsGM]

The Sonics surge continues!

Nice series RocketsGM....MJ was great, but the Manning/Bird combo was too much I think.

Up next: the Sacramento Kings - a nice 6/7 matchup in the second round!

[GoldenStateGM]

Well, that settles it...  I did not liek this team much, but they seemd to play well.
Time to blow up the Warriors...

[ClippersGM]

good stuff kings ...but didnt think i would get swept.....

[KingsGM]

I thought for sure Stockton was going to eat up Richmond at point, but he had a good first round still too many TOs. Good games Clippers, we got lucky.
