Cavs : Its Over.

[Cruzerr]

Yes, for work. With a friend. Its only for a month.

[Cruzerr]

Sorry for the last two games, still got a lot to do



Nice team-game gets the Cavs the win, season series 2-0


First Half: Like last time, the Cavaliers big-star Terrence Williams was booed, as he made his return to Houston. Joey Graham on the other hand wanted to show trading him was bad. Cavaliers won 110-105 last time facing them, so they had the same plan this time. It started off with both teams pretty even, but the Rockets holding a small lead. One of the leading scorers Kevin Martin started to fire up, but Clevelands defense was better. Yao Ming and Luis Scola were dominating the inside game. But as usual, the three-headed starting combo of Parker-Griffin-Williams was on fire, and with their help, they took the game to double-digits. Houston tried something in the end, but it still ended 60-52.

Second Half: The duo of Martin-Yao started posting points right at the beginning, getting this game to four points. But Blake Griffin on the other hand was not missing any shot, and the shooting of T-Will and Parker did not do any good for the Rockets. Even then, the bench play of DeMar and Donte Greene add insult to injury. Somebody else needed to step up, and it was Luis Scola. Apparently, it was too late, he did get the game to a distance of 13, when it was 20, but on the other end, four-players finished with 20 points, as the game ended 122-95.



Seems nothing can stop Baron Davis



First Half: This is one of the most wanted match in here. You have the Blake-Show against the Re-Dirk-ulous one, two veteran point-guards in the starting position and two dangerous snipers on the wings, Anthony Parker and Jason Terry. Right from the start, it was an intense competition. But the stars of the team, Blake-Dirk, were pretty quiet. Both teams had to depend on their shooters from the wing. At some point, both of them got their game on a roll. Blake started dunking and Dirk was hitting his rainbow-shots. Cavaliers went on a run to get the game really far away, but the Dallas bench stepped up, and took a lead of their one. At the end of the half, T-Will was sent to the line to hit two free-throws, which ended it 54-54.

Second Half: Like the first half, both teams were neck-and-neck. You could not say which team will win it. However, things were all tied up to the last minute. Cavaliers took the lead with T-Will dunking it. On the other end, Terry made a hard layup to tie it up. T-Will was sent to the line again to hit 1 from there. Things did not change on the other end, as Kidd tied it up, missing his free-throw as well. But then, things went even more crazy. Baron Davis wanted to dribble out the clock, but failed with it, making a shot-clock violation. On the other end, Dirk threw the ball to Terry, who found Kidd wide open, to take the lead. With four seconds left, everybody knew that Cavs main man was going to take the final shot. Kidd left Baron open from the three-point line, not to tie it up, rather to win it all. And so he did, as Mr. Big Shot once again prevailed, as they won 112-111. Check the video down below

With no injuries or signings to report, we start with some news !

Another East team qualifies, while a legend starts to pack his bags



Our first news is rather good, as the Indiana Pacers made their playoff spot certain, being the third team out of the 16 to do that. Their main man, Danny Granger, has lead them to the playoffs, and with hoping to get that precious third spot against the sixth seed, they still have a lot of work, with the Bulls and the Boston Celtics being right behind them. Those two teams however have not made the playoffs, but have a 90% chance to do so.



Sadly, we have to send another star out of the business. Steve Nash has announced his retirement, saying that his muscles are weakening and the younger need to take the game over. The two-time MVP told that he will cherish every moment that he has been in this league. " I will not forget about the past or the present, that I have been here, as it has been an experience, which I would not change for anything."

The man can still go out with a bang, as his team is in the chase of the playoff spot. With no team in the West securing theirs, we will still see how long will Nash play in this league.

[Bucket]

Cruzerr, Almost 400$ ?

[Cruzerr]

I aint back Im still pretty much in Norway, coming back July 29, so then you will see recaps

Yep, about 400 bucks. Take 6 adults and an year worth of bottles

[Larvae]

Hope you can earn more than you usually earn
Looking forward to you back for this.

[Cruzerr]

Thanks Larvae, will do.

Opening up a small poll, if you would like to see the remaining games simmed to the playoffs, or would rather see them recaped?

[Nutellar]

7 Games left wright? Its your choice, the last Games of a season can become very long. Maybe sim some of them and play the interesting ones.

[Cruzerr]

Yep, but the games aint really interesting

[Cruzerr]

So, Second work-week starting and its a bad one. Everybody went off to work, but I am at home right now, waiting for the landlord. He wants to show me some things about our next-weeks project. Im pretty stumped why I am the one waiting for him, considering that I did more work than my partner last week.

[Bucket]

Well, it's 21st century...

[Cruzerr]

Got some good news for me, not so good for you

Im going home in the 29th of July, but I am going on a well deserved trip to London in the 3rd of August. Never been there, and really excited to go. If I have the time, I will slip a small game in between that timeline.

[KidJustin]

cram it! finish the season/playoffs between those few days. hha jk have fun
