I lead by 14 during the first. They lead by 25 during the second. Ridiculous amount of fouls called on my players.
I got the lead back down to 3 near the end of the third. Back up to 20 midway through the fourth.
I really felt like I was going to win going into the fourth. But it must of been my worst fourth quarter of the season.

Hard luck, but with the series LeBron is having there's no shame in dropping one on the road. Seems to me the Cavs have simply salvaged a little dignity before the inevitable.

It's better to win it in OKC

Congrats on the title, without doubt you'd be the favourite for next season as well because your lineup is incredible.
Great signing in Gallinari and it's nice to see you give a contract to Arron Afflalo

The 1 game I did lose was probably my worst of the season. And the most annoying. I came back to within 3 points after being down by 25, but then I let it slip out to 20 again.
Yeah, I'm a little uncomfortable with the amount of wins I got. There were maybe 5-6 games I won easily because somehow the difficulty was on Pro.

I didn't really have any cap room after re-signing Westbrook so I had to find someone willing to take MLE.
Luckily this game is on the original rosters so everyone is on way less money.
Gallinari will be backup for Durant, with Green moving to PF to be backup for Aldridge. He did this last season when Aldridge or Oden got early fouls.
Afflalo will be lucky to see game time behind Roy, Redick and Harden. Though I might play Redick in front of Maynor at PG.

Great job repeating. Hopefully, you can maybe go for 73-9

So that maybe explains the 40-point margins?
Gallinari should provide you effective three-point shooting, though he is a defensive liabliity. Great signing all the same. Also, Rockets have 'Sheed!!!
Mon Aug 16, 2010 11:25 am
Congrats on taking care of business in Game 5 to make it back-to-back championships! Seems the player who should've been MVP in the regular season prevailed in the Finals.

Some interesting offseason moves there, Shaq continues to bounce around the league. I like that you're standing pat for the most part.
Mon Aug 16, 2010 1:36 pm
Yeah I guess I virtually traded Kenyon Martin for Gallinari.

Might get this going again soon. Just spent 9 days up on the Sunshine Coast.

Yeah it was a good holiday. Was a bit hard walking anywhere though as I had an operation on both my big toes a few days before I went.
Mon Aug 30, 2010 2:06 pm
Ouch, bad timing.

Fine start to the season, a good first step towards a threepeat. Sounds like everyone's picking up where they left off.
