OKC - Five-peat! Final summary

I'm surprised I haven't played this in over a week, considering how quickly I wanted to get to the playoffs.

Damn you GT5!

82 Game Season is always a tough number in the end.

Keep it on you almost got it

Having had my own Dynasty threads interrupted by Fallout, I can certainly relate and understand.

Here's a little motivation for you:

You have the same amount of losses in your dynasty as mine, but you have 45 wins - I have one. Carry on.



But then again, I have a 30-game season lol

Nice run aside from the Grizzlies game. Mayo certainly was chucking them up from downtown, I believe that's a new record for attempts in a single game.

This happened during one of those games.

Flash

Creepy.

Hahaaa, that glitch is great.

Nice to see Green with another triple-double. His 5th this season? Or 4th?

Good wins, congrats on reaching the 50-win mark. Nice battle of the point guards in the Celtics game, unselfish play on both their parts though Westbrook had the edge with a better assist-to-turnover ratio.

28/3/10

Top two meet in Miami for the first time this season




It's as if the people who drew up this season's schedules knew that these two teams would be serious contenders.
It's a rather strange coincidence that this will be the first meeting of these two conference leaders this season.
Especially since Oklahoma City have played every team at least twice. Except for Orlando, who they've faced only once.

This promises to be a high scoring game given that these teams are ranked 1st & 2nd in scoring this season.
The Thunder are first, averaging 116.8 points per game. The Heat are just behind in second, averaging 115.5 points per game.
Both teams have been in the top 3 of the power rankings all season and many experts have predicted these two to meet in the NBA Finals.
