Back to The Top II|5-1|Rest Round 2 Results!

game 1 was a just gift...we'll take them the rest of the way...

We'll see that... No comment about Rockets breaking Thunder's homecourt KJ???

Lakers take game 1, but will lose the series.....Rockets take game 1, but will ____ the series too.

fill in the blank

hint: its similar to the first part

Well I can clearly see the second happening ,but for the Lakers it's too tough to be knocked out.They're really playing great and your Clippers have to do a lot if they want to get pass them...

Surprising to see the Rockets take Game One, but it's not completely surprising given that 2K's sim engine tends to favor them at times. But those are some huge defensive stats against the Bucks, George, 21 steals and 14 blocks? Does that happen often or was that just a special game? That's about two times the average of each stat in real life.

Well it happens a time or two each month,but mostly i've been getting around 8-9 blocks and 14 steals per game.But it's playoffs and I had to choke them up with my D!

Game 2:April 26,United Center
Milwaukee Bucks @ Chicago Bulls


Bulls - Bucks notebook

THE FACTS: Derrick Rose was again the leader for the Chicago Bulls. Rose had 32 points and 9 assists being cold blooded in the FT line at the dying moments and missing none attempt out of 6.Luol Deng had 12 points while Carlos Boozer had 11 points and 8 rebounds.

The Bucks have been way better in this second match.Corey Maggette had 17 points ,4 assists,4 rebounds and 4 steals bringing much needed help. Brandon Jennings was again on form as he had 17 points and 8 assists, and being,along with Maggette the two main reasons for the Bucks' comeback(which failed) in the last minutes.Andrew Bogut had 12 points in the game,but only two in the second half.

THE MOMENT: With 5 seconds remaining ,John Salmons got the ball in the corner and shot the three pointer for the tie. The ball bounced on the rim and Joakim Noah,a non factor on scoring grabbed the rebound in front of Bogut,not letting either his opponent take the ball,or the ball get the lucky bounce.

QUOTABLE:"It's a shame that we couldn't win this one. We were so close to the tie,but our luck,my luck especially, wasn't present."
--Bucks' Forward, John Salmons

HOT: For the second game, Derrick Rose. With his 32 points and 9 assists,but most important, his effectiveness from the Free Throw line in the end,he deserves the mention.

NOT: Joakim Noah. Not for this great job on rebounding and playing defence, but because he was literally a non-factor in offence. He missed wide open shots and hooks,made turnovers and clearly was off his rhythm offensively.



FINAL SCORE:Chicago Bulls - Milwaukee Bucks 87-84

Lots of dunking Great win man, I sense a sweep here!

Oh yeah,hopefully I'm going to sweep em!

Rose punched fan? Why? Anyways nice win, and good game for co-MVP Rose.

Thanks! And Rose is the one and only MVP!!! Period.

Monroe and Gibson have a little toooo much "satisfaction"

all of the D-Rose stuff....makes me always forget you have ex-stars Iverson/Tmac..i could never imagine them on a successful team as role players...maybe their RL versions need to take a lesson from ur association

If they could get a side role on a team this would be amazing both for them and their teams. Older superstars who are willing not to be on the center of attention is a huge help for the team, but also great way to end their career with a success.

yea, i know...that's why this offseason i'm still debating on going for a young team...or infusing (ex-superstar) veterans to the young players

Focusing on signing young players but getting one ex star won't be a bad idea... I would suggest going on a vet shooter...

Good win by Bulls, Rose on fire. Now need win only 2 games. Go Bulls !

I remembered i forgot something while I was getting ready to start the Game 3 recap, so Game 3+4 will be posted together, in order to post the other game 2 results.

Games 3+4 ready,uploaded today or tomorrow but first, I want your help on sth.

I'm getting ready for vacations and I really want to get this going so I will be continuing on my laptop. The only thing is that it has a crappy intel GMA 4500MHD GPU, making it rather unplayable some times, or in some other situations nerve racking. But I had found a program some months ago, which helps the less-powerfull CPU play the games at an adequate level. It was sth about emulating graphics or sth like that.

So, if someone knows it, or has any other solution in order to boost a little game's performance, I would be more than pleasant to listen to it!!

I guess that program is 3D Analyzer? It's pretty helpful though. But it would only allow you to access the game, not speed up the game.

Game 3:April 28,Bradley Center
Chicago Bulls @ Milwaukee Bucks


Bulls - Bucks notebook

THE FACTS: The Chicago Bulls were lead to a 3-0 lead in the series against the Bucks by a great Tracy McGrady. T-Mac had a monsterous game with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists and came up big on the last quarter as well,scoring the last 3 baskets of the Bulls. Luol Deng played a great game as well,adding 20 points,grabbing 7 rebounds and stealing the ball 3 times.Of course Derrick Rose couldn't be left non-mentioned.He scored 16 points,but had 13 assists and 8 steals.His 11 TO's though were a bad spot from his great all around game.
The Bucks had Brandon Jennings with a huge game as well. 20 points,9 assists,10 steals and 10 TO's for the young playmaker,going on some great battles with D-Rose in the series so far. John Salmons had 17 points including an amazing reverse jam.Andrew Bogut had an almost double double,with 9 points and 10 rebounds.

THE STAT: Big time bench play. The Chicago Bulls found many of the answers in chocking bucks defense from their bench and especially T-Mac. 33 bench points for the Bulls,whie Bucks had 21.

QUOTABLE: "It was ours for the taking. We had the best chance of cutting down the lead to 2-1,and try our best in Game 4.Now it's a must win situation obviously..."
--Bucks' guard Brandon Jennings

THE GOOD: Tracy McGrady. What he didn't do. T-Mac of the past,scoring with every possible way.Ok, he has lost his explosive first step,but he's on form and really seems unstoppable when on a roll...

THE BAD:It will go to PGs Derrick Rose and Brandin Jennings.Both ,despite posting great numbers on other categories, had a combined number of 21 turnovers(Bucks team had a total of 20,while Bulls 25).

QUOTABLE II:"I loved this game.I played a great match, it was a close contested one and we won.We're now 3-0 and going to Game 4 with loads of confidence.I'm sure we're going through to the second round!
--Bulls' guard Tracy McGrady

HOT: Derrick Rose was on fire, killing the Bucks in the late stages of the game.Splendid job from the MVP.
