2003 Playoffs 2nd Round + Conference Finals
2003 Playoffs 2nd Round and Conference Finals
After the 1st Round
2nd Round
No surprises so far.
All Cafite games are going more or less as expected (sorry @oneniltothearsenal), but surprisingly the Chicago behemoth that I've been building up just dropped a game to Toronto.
And Chicago dropped another! The three other games all look like they could well end in sweeps. oneniltothearsenal has actually been playing very well so far, it's just that starting places 3 to 5 are all in BenitoSTARR and New York's favour.
@altodevil and his Sacramento Kings have completed the 2nd Round sweep over the Phoenix Suns. The closest games was 97-84, which is also the one where Phoenix scored the most. BenitoSTARR and his Knicks also completed the sweep against Miami and oneniltothearsenal, but all of those games ended within a 5-point margin at most, so it was much closer than it looks. Chicago pulled it back to 2-2 (I told you they were going to be the end boss), while the Seattle boys let one slip against Minnesota.
Not quite a sweep, but that's @weetee, @Solius and @The Cat through to the predicted Conference Final, where they will face altodevil and his Sacramento Kings. That's actually all the Cafites settled for this round, but the remaining match will decide who the Knicks get to face in the Conference Finals, and very well might decide the West's opponent in the finals.
I'll be honest, this is not what I expected. What looked like a real challenge for BenitoSTARR in Chicago, actually turned out to be one he didn't have to face at all. That makes it all the more likely that we'll see a Cafite champion, as Toronto surely can't handle any of you... could they? They did just take down Chicago, so maybe they're the real final boss - the one you don't see coming.
Conference Finals
Okay - I swear I didn't know Toronto was actually going to win the first game when I wrote that last thing. I'm a strictly one-game-at-a-time guy. One game doesn't necessarily mean anything either... is definitely what altodevil is telling himself right now, as the trio of Solius, The Cat and weetee take the first game.
Sacramento even it up, but disaster for BenitoSTARR and the New York Knicks!
And that's Sacramento in the lead now! In the East, Toronto has taken a stunning 3-0 lead. BenitoSTARR is still playing, but he's clearly reduced.
That's an extremely surprising outcome. Are we really not going to end up with a Cafite NBA Champion even though there were 5 of you in the Conference Semis? I guess the winner between altodevil and The Boys will decide that - and they seem very well matched!
Sacramento take the lead again, is this the end of Solius, weetee and The Cat?
3-3, what a thriller! It all comes down to game 7. Anyone could win this! Well, except BenitoSTARR.
It'sNinja Sacramento! I was just about to call this an upset, before I realized altodevil's team was the 1-seed with a very good regular season record. The Cat, Solius and weetee will be disappointed, but they got to the Conference Finals where they took a very good side to game 7. Not a championship, but not bad at all. That means altodevil will face Toronto in the NBA Finals. A Toronto side that has just taken out the 4th, 1st and 2nd seeds in the East.
