BJ ecploded for some big numbers.

[Justine.]

I can see you'll take this as a sweep!

[Martti.]

Michael Redd is amazing... if only the real life Bucks were like your Bucks.

Yeah, a healthy Redd and a healthy Bogut are a big part of my team.

Cavs and Celtics is a great duel in your dynasty and in real life.
Good first game.

Thanks. About the Celtics, in this story, they are the favorites to win.

Great performance by Young Money. Both wins on the road, I think you have this series on your pocket already!

Thanks, Jennings is becoming my go-to-guy. Constant training sessions with 'The Glove' have payed off.

Korver with 11 3pt attempts, he sure like to shoot.

He likes to shoot, because he CAN shoot.

BJ ecploded for some big numbers.

Hell yeah. The others really disappeared late.

I can see you'll take this as a sweep!

Thanks. I'll definitely try to end this series quickly so my players won't get hurt unnecessarily.

[Clutch]

awesome night by Jennings.. frontcourt's playing great too.. keep the pressure on man!

[Martti.]

Behind O'Neal, Heat stay in the series.
Bucks (96) - Heat (112)

Sense - this picture doesn't make any..

Jermaine O'Neal racked up 32 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter on perfect 5-5 shooting to lead the Heat over the Bucks in Milwaukee 112-96.

Michael Beasley racked up a monster double-double too, finishing with 22 points and 17 rebounds. Dywane Wade had a quiet night with 17 points and 7 assists. For the Bucks, Andrew Bogut had 17 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out, Brandon Jennings also had 17.

Thaddeus Young came back from his injury and scored 7 points and grabbed 10 boards in his first start. Luc Mbah a Moute had a good game off the bench, racking up 12 points.

The Heat were up by 16 points going into the fourth and the Bucks managed to trim the lead to 10, but then Wade passed the ball to Jermaine O'Neal who dunked the ball, also drawing a foul in the process from Andrew Bogut, who fouled out after that.

The Heat shot 10-15 in the fourth, including 10-14 from the painted area. The Bucks defense was very shaky. Dorell Wright, Dwyane Wade, Jermaine O'Neal and Michael Beasley all scored from the paint with ease, combining for 6 dunks in the final period.

The Bucks never had a chance after that, subbing in their reserves. Kyle Korver had 8 points in a short span.

The series will stay in Milwaukee for game #4 where the Bucks have a chance to go up 3-1, making the series win-or-go-home for the Heat.

Wade blocking Jennings wrapped up a miserable night for the Bucks.


Bogut got this dunk, but was posterized by O'Neal on the next possession, which forced him to foul out.

[kibaxx7]

Miami's frontcourt killed you with JO and Beasley. Wade was sort of quiet. Good luck Game 4 bro.

[Justine.]

Monster game by O'Neal and B-easy! I think you'll finish 'em this series in Game 5

[megarover]

Wow Miami has a pretty elite frontcourt. It looked like you couldn't get a rebound to save your life.

[Martti.]

[Martti.]

It was his sophomore season.

[Martti.]

[Dee.]

can't wait to see sits and thierry's reactions.

[megarover]

The reaction will be pretty funny I think Bogut got snubbed on the All-NBA teams though.

[kibaxx7]

Incredible... there it is: "should have won: Thierry Tirieux!" Better luck next time I guess... wait, it's ROY! There's no other time!

[dare]

Can't wait for Sit's reaction especially Thierry, this will be a long spam

Incredible... there it is: "should have won: Thierry Tirieux!" Better luck next time I guess... wait, it's ROY! There's no other time!

Next time I will be name ROY, if Martti gets through the next season

[Fresh8]

Incredible... there it is: "should have won: Thierry Tirieux!" Better luck next time I guess... wait, it's ROY! There's no other time!

Sorry. Stop hating.

I. Am. The. Truth.

Sorry Pierce... you're old and washed up. I would be glad to take your spot in Boston.

Should have won? Too bad because I won it. So there's no excuses. I led my team to the playoffs. We should have beaten the Cavs but we're young. There's always next season. NBA watch out. The Takeover has started. It's begun.

Brendon Jennings is rolling around in his grave right now, he needs a quality SG like me to be in Milwaukee with him.

Everyone watch out. All-Star Game is coming up next season! MVP will be mine in a few years. The NBA title is mine.

THE. TAKEOVER. HAS. BEGUN.

Yeah, I was surprised too. Anbd Bogut defintely should have made the cut. Sucks that Live 06 doesn't have All-NBA Third team.

Next time I will be name ROY, if Martti gets through the next season

I definitely want to try it. I have a Knicks dynasty in the background, in year 3 there, Jennings is awesome there. League's leading scorer.

I think you need a new nickname. Every new star gets a new nickname, like Young Money, Durantula etc.

Bogut erupts for 40, puts Heat on the ropes.
Bucks (111) - Heat (103)

Bogut throwing down off a pretty pass from Jennings.

Andrew Bogut scored a career-high 40 points and Brandon Jennings had 27 points to lead the Bucks over the Heat in the Bradley Center, putting the Bucks up 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals Semi-Finals.

Bogut shot 18-26 from the field and even knocked down a three. He scored 15 points in the final quarter, going 7-9 from the field. Bogut had 39 points and was fouled by the Heat o stop the clock and the crowd was chanting "forty, forty!". He missed both shots, but Andray Blatche grabbed the offensive rebound and dished it to Bogut who went to dunk it, but was fouled hard by O'Neal.

The chant started again, but Bogut still missed the first shot. He made the second and the crowd was cheering in relief.

It was a big battle between the bigs, Bogut and O'Neal. Bogut did have 40, but Jermaine wasn't much off his pace, going for 31.

The fourth quarter started with a 2-point Bucks lead, but Bogut went nuts, scoring 8 straight points. Korver came in for Young and added 4 points in a hurry.

Jermaine O'Neal kept the Heat in the game, narrowing the lead to 8, but the night belonged to Bogut. He scored more and as the Heat doubled him, he dished it out to Jennings and Redd. Bogut finished with 5 assists.

The Bucks as a team had 32 assists on 48 field goals. They only went 3-9 from three-point line, bizarre, as they average 21 3-point field goals in the series.

With game #5 in the American Airlines Arena, the Bucks have a chance to advance to the Conference Finals, where the Celtics are waiting, who eliminated Lebron James and the Cavaliers in 5 games.

Bogut was a nightmare for the Heat all night long.


You gotta play better defense then that, Wright.

[kibaxx7]

Incredible game by Andrew. One more win!

[Dee.]

Monster game for Bogut,heck he even made a three pointer.

[Clutch]

good stuff martti - terrific game by Bogut - good luck going for the KO!

[megarover]

A scoring duel for the ages. The NBA hasn't seen two big man go at it like this since who knows how long. 40 points is incredible
