Didn't get too wild. You didn't pick any upsets at all...

------------------
My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.

 

I think the first round won't have any upsets, but the second round is where the upsets will occur.

I predict the Blazers will lose to the hot T-Wolves and the Jazz will beat the Mavs.

I'm not just picking the Jazz over the Mavs b/c I'm the GM. I can count 2 wins against the Mavs this season so that's at least a 2-2 season split.

Also the wolves have been really hot so that's why I think they'll take the Blazers.

Of course now that I've said this I've jinxed my team.

 

True, but I just meant that I spent a little longer doing this side. Since I haven't ever played a sim on 2001, I don't know how often the low-seeded teams advance. Also, The Blazers, Mavs, and Jazz have such great records and overall talent, that I don't see anyone beating them, other than themselves. Then I just predicted my win over the Spurs, because of late, the team has done okay(And I'm just being optimistic)

And mine.

I've moved into the 5th spot.



Oh well, actually I wish i could have moved into the 6th spot(If i get past the first round, the second round won't be against Blazers, I would still have to play the Mavs or Sonics though)

Big IF.

We all know my Jazz would handle the puppies.

HEY!!!!! Give me a break Cat. I was building for the future with the Garnett trade. I needed a ultrastar as part of my 5 year plan. LOL. (seriously though, how was i supposed to know)

------------------
The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?

 

Oh We'll see. We'll see.



the "Puppies" finished 18-2

Your Jazz finished 16-3.



For the sake of analysis:

C-Camby vs. Lafrentz. Pretty even Camby on "D", Lafrentz on the other side

PF-Brand vs Malone. Malone, but Brand is right up there with him. 21, 10 night in and night out

SF-Wally vs Marshall. I'm not sure because I don't know how Marshall has played on the Sim. Wally has put up 14, 5, 5 averages

SG-McGrady vs Jackson. T-Mac

PG-Brandon vs Williams. Brandon, 18 ppg 9apg

Bench-Billups, Dickerson, Ellis, Googs vs. Jackson, Starks, Lewis, and Coleman. I give the edge to the Wolves. Dickerson is putting up 18 ppg a night himself. Ellis is also playing well.

Personally I think I stand just as good a chance as Your Jazz do(Maybe better)

See you in the playoffs(Maybe)

Hey it will work out Nomar. If you look across the leader boards, you see KG's name what 3 or 4 times?

You got your superstar(even though you already had two in Brand and Abdur-Rahim) and I acquired the depth I needed.

------------------

My playoff predictions(Based on Current records)-

East-

1 Bucks vs 8 Pistons-Bucks, Sleeper team of the whole league. Most don't expect a good team coming out of the East.
2 Sixers vs 7 Wizards-Sixers, Iverson, Nuff Said
3 Raptors vs 6 Nets-Raptors, Made good acquisitions to acquire depth
4 Pacers vs 5 Knicks-Knicks, No Rose, No Miller, No Oneal...How did they make it here?


West(Where it gets wild)-
1 Blazers vs 8 Rockets-Blazers. With three losses all season, they seem unbeatable in a five-game series. But the Rockets have been playing well of late and have a good starting 5

2 Mavs vs 7 Sonics-Mavs, Again a good team with minus-ten losses will always be tough

3 Jazz vs 6 Lakers-Jazz, A team with a good "4" and very deep with guys like Marshall

4 Wolves vs 5 Spurs-Wolves(Hopefully), My team has played well of late and hopefully can pull out a win here.

East-
1 Bucks vs 5 Knicks-Bucks, On its way to the ECF

2 Sixers vs 3 Raptors- Sixers With Iverson, Marion, Etc. This is a tough team

West-
1 Blazers vs 4 Wolves-Blazers, This team is too good, too deep, too strong

2 Mavs vs 3 Jazz- Mavs, Finley, Kidd, Dice too much

East-
1 Bucks vs 2 Sixers-Sixers, an upset here with Clutch players like Iverson, Marion, Howard, Mutumbo, and Snow/Nash.

West

1 Blazers vs 2 Mavs-Blazers move on to the finals

Finals

2 Sixers vs 1 Blazers-Blazers, They will probably lose more games in the playoffs than they do all season(Playing a less dilluted league), But the Blazers will probably pull through.
