[S6] Playoffs Round One - Games 1-3 Results

GAME 1
GAME 2
GAME 3

76ers and Pacers showing early promise!

Wow Pacers pushing it.

Coming from down 1-2 is doable for a powerful team like the Hornets, but I am shocked and impressed that the Pacers are up 2-1.

Also, Grizz, looks like we get may get a rematch. Gotta finish off the appetizers first though. There's not many teams I respect mroe than the Grizz.

I'm up 2-1 but not sure how I feel about it.

Pacers and Sixers up 2-1 is an absolute shocker!!!

I can't say that the Grizzlies being up 3-0 on Warriors is an equal surprise, but the Pacers and Sixers had real question marks coming into the playoffs and currently hold early leads in their series. Good job guys.

It's an improvement I guess.

Some good series going on. Early sims are the best. Would be awesome to get through first round tonight. Being in the lottery sucks.

Doesn't matter if you get 12 losses, as long as you end up with 16 wins in the playoffs.

I'm not sure how I got blown out in Game 1 at home. Glad the team bounced back to win the next two.

You're right but this game is unpredictable in the playoffs. Wonder if I should keep the same gameplan.

No one's a pushover. I'm barely over .500 in the playoffs all time. 40-33 and thats with 2 conference finals apperances and a championship. It's just rough when you get to the playoffs man.

Interesting. Okafor played only 6 minutes in Game 1 and missed Game 2. He came back in Game 3. Todd MacCullough played well in his absence.

Anyway I'm really nervous about the rest of the series. I wonder if I'm gonna adjust to the TWolves adjustment.

Yeah I'm still learning how to win in the playoffs. It's intense

2-1, blowouts in game 1 and 2, close loss in 3.

Arenas is playing out of his mind. 36ppg with 25FGA/game and shooting 58% from the field (78% from 3)... MVP MVP MVP

I cannot say how much Frye means to this team as well. With TC getting in foul trouble a lot, Frye logs lots of minutes and is playing great off the bench. Tyson is rebounding like a MAHFACKA. Fingers crossed

I'm up 2-1 on raptors. Bogut has been an absolute man this series.

Bye Suns, thanks for coming.

That was gonna be a tough draw for anyone.

Anyone here that hasn't posted your DC, please do so early so we can sim tonight!

Yeah, but it was probably the worst possible one for me. Even dreaded Memphis would've been better.

Plus, I really could've used the lottery pick had I barely missed the playoffs. That would've been more beneficial to my future than an 8th seed and a sweep.

I can't look at the index when I'm at work. I would love to post one now, but I want to make sure I don't need to make any adjustments. I will have it done around lunchtime. I can only check on my cellphone right now.

You already have 2 top 5 picks Roy and Aldridge/Milsap = your future maybe lol Seriously though, I think your team makes the leap next year. Deng and the other young guys + VC + capspace

So what, we get 20 minutes.

Time was taken to set this up and get it right, then we get 20 minutes or simmed?

I you rush the playoffs this league will DIE! No foundation.

I get 1 possible top 5 pick (Heat pick, currently valued at #4), and FA class looks weak. I'll have to work hard for anything extra, especially if I want to tailor my team to fit my new gameplan next season.

Being in the playoffs now just makes my job in the upcoming offseason that much harder. :hihi:

Me too!

If the heat don't doo trading their picks, I'm going to cut someone.

Conroy, GI, RPF, I would've made that switch too! :hihi:

(I'm assuming you mean being in the playoffs)

you can add me to the list on who would switch places with you

They mean having your team being in the first round and getting a top 5 pick.

Well yeah that would be awesome, but I'd trade my lottery pick to be in the playoffs is what I meant. Especially late lottery, especially in this draft, especially with my old *** team.

doo? What?

If you mean "stop," I only traded one. And I traded it to get rid of Rip Hamilton, which was probably a mistake at the time, but it happened. Once.

Damn. Go team go! Barkley is kicking Baron's *** though but if anyone has the right to be a step slow its him, we wouldnt even be anywhere near this point if Baron didnt carry us.

Its not over yet! No team is shooting well overall. Seems like rebounding and turnovers are making the big difference. I'm nervous as hell.

Yeah, but I have a feeling this series ends in 5. I don't have anyone who can slow down Melo and your defense stepped up big time in games 2 & 3.

Maybe Mashburn makes a difference on the offensive end. Your adjustments worry me. Making me wonder whether I should make adjustments to your adjustments :confused:

aha I didn't put much thought into it. I'm just a wounded soldier on his last leg trying desperately to survive, knowing in the back of my head that death is inescapable.

I forgot how your team had Posey at SF last year on Melo. He was tough. Then Stackhouse too dominated Manu as well. And you won easily with Bradley missing most of the series. I was fortunate to win Game 2 this year without Okafor. He's the key for me defensively. I think also Boozer getting into foul trouble has hurt alot.
