Jermaine vs Bogut, Beasley vs Warrick, Wade vs Redd. Interesting Playoff series!

Chalmers will be owned by Jennings.

I'll pick Bucks to win the series. But in 6 or 7 games.. Looking forward on the recaps.

[anubisak]

Intersting matchup between Miami and Milwaukee...Oneal vs Bogut that would be good.

[megarover]

Yea It seems like the matchups will be fairly close. A toss up between who wins the series but its going to 7

[dare]

I'm looking forward to the Bogut/Oneal matchup, I hope Wade doesn't run circles against Redd.

Goodluck man

[kibaxx7]

Ah, it's gonna be hard for you against the Heat, man. Huge duel in Wade and Redd.

Thanks. Yeah, there are many great match-ups. Wade and Jermaine are definitely the biggest problems. But usually it's guys like Chalmers and Wright who burn me. (Like Harpring with the Nets)

Updates ?

They're coming soon.

Elton Brand wins it. Thats a suprise. Yi Coming in 3rd he wasnt even the best person on his team!

[Fresh8]

Good updates. Can't wait for games to begin!

I went with the whole Chinese thing with Yi. Thought about having Sun Yue as number 4, but he isn't on any roster.

Good updates. Can't wait for games to begin!

Bucks steal game #1 on the road behind Redd's 42
Bucks (109) - Heat (102)

Jennings made his clutch free throws in the final minute.

Michael Redd scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and finished with 42 to lift the Bucks over the Heat in game #1 in Miami. Brandon Jennings and Andrew Bogut both added double-doubles.

Thaddeus Young was active for game #1, but didn't play. The Bucks went with their usual line-up and started really well, jumping off to a 10-2 lead. And they finished the quarter with a 17 point lead. But as the game wore on, MVP candidates Jermaine O'Neal and Dwyane Wade took over with help from Mario Chalmers. By the end of the third quarter, the game was close with just 4 points separating the teams.

In the fourth, Dwyane Wade started things with a hard drive to the rim, converting a three-point play. On the next possession, the Bucks came up short and Wade again had the answer, putting the Heat up by a point.

But then Michael Redd, who had 30 points though three quarters, hit 4 three-pointers on the next four Bucks possessions to put the Bucks up by 10. Brandon Jennings had 3 assists during Redd's hot streak.

The Heat never really recovered from it. The game never came closer then 6 points in the end. Hakim Warrick and Andrew Bogut could even afford to go 1-4 combined from the stripe. Only Mario Chalmers fought till the end, scoring the last 8 points for the Heat.

Thaddeus Young could be available for game #2, depending on the team doctors.

[Clutch]

your starting 5 was terrific! nice way to start things off

[megarover]

Pretty impressive statline by Redd

[Cleveland wins]

Mario Chalmers had an unbelievable game, 29 points was something elese, and 4 steals included. I think your players are going to have to find some way to stop Chalmers, but great game by Redd, Redd can still play.

[dare]

I never thought that Redd can dominate Wade nice win man

[Martti.]

Thanks. Yeah, I don't like to sub much when nobody's in foul trouble. (Except put Korver in, of course.)

Pretty impressive statline by Redd

Yeah, he was smoking hot.

Mario Chalmers had an unbelievable game, 29 points was something elese, and 4 steals included. I think your players are going to have to find some way to stop Chalmers, but great game by Redd, Redd can still play.

Yeah, right now I'm more focused on Chalmers then Wade.

I never thought that Redd can dominate Wade nice win man

I was 4/5 with him from deep in the 4th, one off-the-glass fadeaway in Wade's face really put me ahead for good.

[Fresh8]

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

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