I saw our loss coming, but not a sweep
Nuggets are the best in the league at opponents rebounding. Even in our 13-0 stretch with this team, we only out-rebounded teams twice.
We didn't shoot well enough to win. 3 games we made more field goals but the nuggets got to the line at will.
Oh well. We just need to grab a rebounder and shot blocker in the offseason and we should make a deep run next year.

That sucks. I need a PG. I need Durant to have one more huge year for me. Great series Mark, I thought it had it, we were being a great playoff team.

TT and Al Jeff are a big part of that. Good series, next up: andrew and his jazz. |

Won 4-1
Time to lose to the Lakers - They're always tough for my team to beat.

Damn on to the Sonics, the best team in the west. Should be a tough match up but at least this time we are healthy. KNOCK ON WOOD

Looking at it from a matchup standpoint Davidson > Taylor Ross > Owens Beasley < Azuolas Walker > Donatas Highlander > De Guzman Sonics Bench > Lakers Bench Still... none of this means shit. |

Game 4 - Suns 123, Sonics 113. St. Cloud with 32/4, Ballantyne with 22/8/7, Harrison with 20/7 on 7 for 13 shooting. Camby did his thing. Only 8 team turnovers... we didnt play well defensively but great game for us nonetheless.
Game 5 - Sonics 115, Suns 113. Heartbreaker for us on the road. We were up going into the 4th too. I would've given us a chance to win the series had we won this game (Game 6 was at home). Ballantyne dropped 35 on 13-20 shooting. St. Cloud put up 16/12/11 but shot poorly. Terric did his thing, 23/12 with 4 blocks on 9 for 15 shooting.
We lost and I have regrets about our first DC but alot of positive things came out of this series. We were overall very competitive with the 2nd DC against a top tier team and Terric Harrison proved to me that he has a serious future with this team. He had 43 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks, only 2 turnovers, on 16 for 28 shooting in the 2 games as a third option. All this against an A defender in Ty Walker.
Owens and Taylor did a relatively good job on Ballantyne and St. Cloud, and that might've been the deciding factor in the series. I think it would've gone 7 if I had Harrison has an option the whole time but whats done is done. Good series aar.

Alright, my heart rate has returned to its normal rate. Let's check this out:
Game 4: Lost 125-122 in Miami. Blew it in the 4th of course. Gress had 40/7/7. McGahee with 25. Rubio oddly had 5 fouls in 17 minutes.
Game 5: Beat him 122-99. 36-10-8 from Gress. Durant shot 10-28.
Game 6: Won 102-95 in Miami. Gress with 41 points 21 rebounds. Rubio with the triple-double. KD shot 7-21.
Gam 7: Won 110-107. 8 blocks out of Ibaka and KD shot 8-24.
IBAKA FTW

I played some awesome basketball today. I took a nice shower. I'll probably drink some water, you know, take my mind off things.
I have nothing to live for.
