76ers - Round 2 PHI : BOS - 4:3 - CF vs Heat short preview

[Grandmama Johnson]

Great triple-double by Turner! ROY for sure

[Nutellar]

Turner for ROY! Sucks that he couldn't get used to NBA life IRL.

Thanks for the support. Looks good so far; Rookie of the month in Dec, Jan, and Feb. John Wall has also a great season but i think ET should do it.

Holy hell, a triple double ? Nice one. Rips game was awesome too.

Thanks. Rip played really awesome, he already did in Game 1. The Pistons might become my first round playoff opponent.

Great triple-double by Turner! ROY for sure

Thanks, i hope so.

Wow, the East is really close after Miami. Spots 2-6 are within 5 games of each other. Here's hoping you can pull away from the pack and secure home court advantage

P.S. Who do you think gets top seed in the West, Spurs or Lakers?

Yes the East is really close, even Washington still has a little chance to qualify. Boston also seems to struggle a bit in the latest games.

Hard to say which team will make no 1 in the West. I think the Lakers will take it, i also hope that the Clippers qualify for the Playoffs.

4 Game Update (3:1)



PHI @ CLE - 105:94 - WIN - 4:0
Evan Turner with his second triple double within 3 Games ! This guy is really on fire leading the 76ers to a 4:0 season series sweep over the Cavs. Turner was best Sixer in points assists and rebounds this game.




---

DAL @ PHI - 112:105 - LOSS - 1:1
Caron Butler and Jason Kidd secured an easy road win for the Mavericks. Turner again with a great game underlining his ROY ambitions. Mavs are supposed to get the 3rd seed in the West behind the Lakers and Spurs.




---

MIN @ PHI - 87:91 - WIN - 2:0
This Game was all about Beasley vs Philadelphia, but in the end one player cant resist against a whole team. In my oppinion the DeRozan , Telfair , Ridnour trade also weakened the Timberwolves.



---

GS @ PHI - 97:110 - WIN - 2:0
Jrue Holiday won his second Player of the Game award in a row, leading the 76ers to a superior win over Golden State. Turner , Iguodala and Hickson rounded a smooth performance by Philadelphia.
The 76ers celebrated their 40th season victory which means an almost 15 Game improvement to last year already in the beginning of March.

Turner Rookie of the Year

*Clapping* Dude, Turner is a beast, hate to see you beat the Cavs, but happy to see you get 3/4

[Martti.]

Glad to see Turner posting numbers I hoped he would.

Turner Rookie of the Year

Thanks, really looking good so far, even Wall puts up big numbers Turner should be able to win it.

*Clapping* Dude, Turner is a beast, hate to see you beat the Cavs, but happy to see you get 3/4

The Cavs really have to suffer in my association, sorry for that but maybe they can come up stronger next year.

Glad to see Turner posting numbers I hoped he would.

Thanks, maybe he can do better i.r. NBA next season.


By the way Jrue Holiday is going to be MIP

18 points 4 rebounds 9 assists a Game, but he was snubbed for the All Star Game, too many good Guards in the East

4 Game Update (2:2)



PHI @ IND - 100:92 - WIN - 2:2
One step back for the Pacers on their way to clinch a playoff spot. Despite the former Warrior David Lee had a great game 19 points and 12 rebounds Indiana lost this home game.




---

OKC @ PHI - 112:83 - LOSS - 1:1
An almost 40 points loss against the OKC Thunder. Josh Howard had a bis impact in the second half leading the Thunder to a devastating win over the 76ers. OKC dominated the boards and played a solid defense allowing the 76ers to shoot only 39% from the field. (season average 49%)




---

BOS @ PHI - 101:113 - WIN - 3:0
The 76ers stroke back after their tough loss just 2 days before. This was a very important win to resists against the Celtics fighting for the 2nd seed in the East. Philadelphia is now 2 Games ahead with 42-23 as the Celtics dropped to a 40-23 record.

Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday combined 70 points leading to a 56% effort from the field and a safe win. Both teams will meet each other once again in April.



---

PHI @ MIL - 84:108 - LOSS - 2:1
A surprising victory by the Bucks which noone expected. The Bucks are one of the eastern teams which are still fighting for one of the last playoff spots, so a very important win for them.
John Salmons lead the team with 28 points , shooting 5/8 from outside. Andre Iguodala showed decent numbers 18 points 13 rebounds and 5 assists.

We are all rooting for Turner to win ROY, but how are Griffin and Wall doing?

I think Turner has the best chances so far, John Wall put up really big numbers but Turner was elected RoM in Dec, Jan and Feb.

Blake Griffin is doing well, but he needs to collect some more points. The big surprise Ricky Rubio, i didnt thought that he would have such a big impact on the Rookie award race. He was elected RoM - West 2 times in Dec and Feb.

Rubio is a backup for Felton in Denver and he will be a Free Agent after this season. Almost 7 assists as a bench player

2k awards... 6 of 7 times ROY won rookie who led rookies in points per game...

Wow, very nice play. No crowd sounds?

[Nutellar]

It was Replay, is there an option to turn crowd sound on Replay on?

[Axel The Great]

Wow, almost 24/6/6 for Turner. He'll be the sixth player to average 20/5/5 as a rookie.

Cool i didnt know that yet

[Nutellar]

Sorry i deleted this post accidentially

[Bucket]

Wow Turner with 55 points? No doubt ROY, Is he in MVP race?

[Cruzerr]

2-2 this time, nice play by Turner, spotted a typo - With this score he tied Brandon Jennings who is still the youngest player in NBA histoty scoring 50 points. Its history

[Nutellar]

He hit almost everything despite he is still a 75 ovr player.

No he isnt in MVP race, its the typical candidates LeBron, Amare , Durant and Wade. D- Rose is also not in the race, i think 2k11 is bugged with injuries somehow. Rose missed about 4 weeks, his numbers are great but he didnt show up in All Star Game nor in the MVP race.
Because of that i turned Injuries to off

2-2 this time, nice play by Turner, spotted a typo - With this score he tied Brandon Jennings who is still the youngest player in NBA histoty scoring 50 points. Its history

ok thanks

March wasnt that great for me like the first 3 months, but i can still reach the 50 Game mark which would be a big achievement. The only team that is out of reach are the Miami Heat, i think they almost fixed the number 1 seed.

So far 6 teams clinched a playoff spot; Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers - La Lakers, San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks.

I tell you more when i add the March stats and standings.
