0-1 @ Sonics: DRob 29/9, Shaq 22/21
1-1 @ Sonics: DRob 51/13, Shaq 20/11
2-1 vs Sonics: DRob 30/13, Mullin 26/10, Simmons 26/4, Shaq 20/17
Close series so far. Glad we could steal one on the road, even with Mullin out.

Round 2: Chicago Bulls vs Indiana Pacers (Chicago leads 3-0)
3-1, 99-103. Preira had 21pts, 8rebs, 10asts, 2stls, 2blks. Max had 19pts, 5rebs, 3asts, 2stls, 2blks. Camby had 17 and 8. Deke had 9pts, 10rebs, 2stls, 7blks.
4-1, 111-82. Preira (POTG) had 29pts, 5rebs, 14asts, 2stls. Maxwell had 20pts, 8rebs, 5asts, 5stls. Camby had 18pts, 14rebs, 3blks. Deke had 16pts, 6rebs, 2stls, 2blks. Person had 10 and 2 in 8mins.
Chicago's Player of the Playoffs for Round 2: Etienne Preira[/u] - nothing but great play from Preira. No ridiculous 50pt statlines in this sim, but he certainly did play his part in making the team play well. He's averaging 30.4ppg, 10.6apg and 2.0spg looking at the playoff leaders board, and I'm pretty sure he'll be close to about 7rpg and 1.5bpg or so too. Great numbers still for the MVP.
Beating the Pacers 4-1 was again, better than expected. Preira didn't have to score so much on his own in this series as Maxwell helped out a lot on offense, as well as Alejandro Camby. I'm pleased with that balance where if we don't get enough help from the backcourt, Camby up front can provide some offense too. As much as I love Preira's huge statlines, him not actually having to do that and us still winning is good news.
Next up we have the Raptors. This will be the toughest challenge so far, taking out MJ in 7 games. Hopefully we can do it.

Conference Finals: Chicago Bulls vs Toronto Raptors1-0, 131-130 in OT Preira had a triple double with 34pts, 11rebs, 12asts ... but Stoudamire's 13/13/11 triple double won him POTG lol. Max had 23pts, 5rebs, 3asts, 2stls. Camby had 19pts, 14rebs, 5blks. Horry had 13pts, 5rebs, 2stls. Deke had 10pts, 15rebs, 2blks. Battie had 10pts, 8rebs, 2blks. Person had 10 and 2 in 9mins. 2-0, 130-122. Max had 42pts, 7rebs, 3atss, 3stls Preira (POTG) had 41pts, 9rebs, 15asts, 2stls, 4blks Horry had 16 and 4. Camby had 10 and 17. Battie had 9 and 9. Deke fouled out in 7mins LOL. 2-1, 98-121. Max had 29pts, 3rebs, 3asts and 0to's. Preira had 25pts, 10rebs, 6asts, 4stls. Deke had 15pts, 8rebs, 3asts, 2stls, 2blks. Camby had 13 and 5. Person had 10 and 2 in 12mins. Fark what a series so far. Jordan's had over 40pts in every game, including 49 in game 3 Preira seems to be taking a back seat to MJ at the moment, although looking at his statlines, they're hardly poor! Maxwell's being our star scorer but he's doing it on Hu Weidong. Unfortunately it seems as though Horry can't stop MJ at all. I'm not sure whether or not to let Max go head to head with MJ, as his D is better than Horry's, or to keep letting Max score on Weidong. I'm worried because we only won the first game in OT by a point, and that we were blown out in Toronto by 23pts. This is going to be an interesting one and I'm just thinking we might be in trouble if we can't slow down MJ.

Damn, we are down 2-1 to the Bulls
We lost the 1st game by 1 point in OT, just like the in the regular season!!! Grrrrrr 2nd game we lost by 8 pts, 2nd quarter cost us the game Game 3 we handled them at home pretty easily, I hope we can take care of things at home and hope to the high heavens that we can win one on the road, its an absolute necessity !!!
Jordan is playing his usual best and Hu is a great side kick, I need more help from Arvydas!!!

I'm very happy the Sonics lost and they got absolutely worked. Now I don't have to hear Ducky saying how awesome they are.
Also Bulls/Raptors was an awesome series. Jordan is so damn good he almost led the Raps to the finals by himself.
Lets get this shit over with though

Conference Finals: Chicago Bulls vs Toronto Raptors (Chicago leads 2-1)2-2, 102-111. Preira (POTG) had 42pts, 11rebs, 7asts, 4blks Max had 18pts, 3rebs, 4asts, 4stls with 0to's. Camby had 16pts, 9rebs, 3blks. Deke had 10pts, 12rebs, 4blks in foul trouble. 3-2, 106-84. Max had 26pts, 3rebs, 4asts with 0to's. Camby had 25 and 6 with 0to's. Preira (POTG) had 17pts, 2rebs, 7asts, 5stls with 0to's but was in some foul trouble. Deke had 10pts, 12rebs, 3ats, 2stls, 4blks in foul trouble. 3-3, 99-108. Preira had 30pts, 8rebs, 12asts, 3stls Camby had 15pts, 11rebs, 2stls, 3blks. Horry had 14 and 6. Max had 11pts, 9rebs, 4asts. Deke had 10pts, 9rebs, 2stls, 3blks. 4-3, 102-98. Preira (POTG) had 21pts, 6rebs, 9asts, 3blks. Max had 19pts, 7rebs, 5stls. Deke had 15pts, 6rebs, 2stls, 2blks. Camby had 15 and 17. Battie had 8pts, 10rebs, 2blks. Chicago's Player of the Playoffs for the Conference Finals: Vernon Maxwell[/u] - of course, Preira played the best and put up the best statlines, but Max brought it home against MJ. He really managed to slow Jordan down and it seemed to work. I was pleased with his play at both ends of the court and despite not being as much of a gunner in the second part of the series, his D carried us through. If Horry were still defending MJ I think we'd have lost this one. OMG we fucking did it!! What an epic series! I contemplated playing Maxwell at the 3 to D up on MJ, but then thought, if I left that comment in this thread, then Saga would read it and move MJ from the 3 to the 2. I couldn't have Horry keep defending MJ because he was getting ripped 40+ points each game, so I really wanted Max to defend MJ. I did the sneaky thing and post "in" in the depth chart thread rather than "same" and Saga took the bait, and moved MJ to the 2 as I thought, allowing Max to try and slow MJ down. He did Sorry Saga! Despite this tactic, it was far from an easy conclusion to the sereis. The games in the second half of the series saw MJ score a lot less due to Max, but the other Raptors stepped up a gear to compensate, especially Damon Stoudamire, which is why it went to 7 games imo. Preira was quieter than usual but he still managed to play to a top standard. Camby and Deke were monsters up front, especially on the boards, and all in all we were better on the defensive end this sim. Unlucky Saga... it always hurts going out in 7. I'm very happy to be in the Finals for my first time in UOSLR though. I hope we can go all the way! It's going to be tough as fuck against the Grizzlies, because their frontcourt is so damn scary, but hopefully Deke and Camby can slow them down and my backcourt can take over.

"Jahallstar Well I think the Grizzlies will be there. They will either face the Bulls or the Raptors. I'll go with Raptors over Grizzlies ."
Dammit I picked the wrong one.
