133-114 win @DEN to go up 3-0

We exploded for 51/67/78 shooting with seven double figure scorers. We went even bigger than we usually are and were helped out tremendously by Reddish/Gant/Walker combining for 13-18 shooting from 3.

We're gonna try to close it out in 4

Gant: 26pts, 6reb, 6ast, 10-16 FG, 4-4 3P
Reddish: 24pts, 3reb, 4ast, 3stl, 3blk, 9-17 FG, 6-10 3P
Knight: 22pts, 6reb, 7-14 FG, 8-8 FT
Walker: 17pts, 5reb, 7-11 FG, 3-4 3P
Lawson: 12pts, 6reb, 2stl, 4blk 4-5 FG (17 min)

Took out the two time csl champion. That's BIG.

It seems like Atlanta/Sixers/Knicks are on a collision course to come out of the East. .

Our defense finally showed up for the first time in this series, fittingly in the close out game. Donovan continues to sizzle hot from the field, what a performance for him this 4 games with 35.5 points in 60.6% shooting.

We also got lucky that their best offensive player in Skal was down for the series, otherwise it could have really gone either way.

Congrats to the Hawks and Knicks as well for advancing. Now we awaits the winner of Miami-Brooklyn. It should be hell whichever of the two we face.

Three sweeps in the East... impressive. The Heat are in trouble now.

We get an unconvincing win at home. I decided to not make any adjustments before this game but probably will need a few tweaks

Still can't get our game going as we shoot 44% but at least we held the Spurs to under 40% to finally get on the board, avoid a potential sweep and we've at least forced a 5th game in the series.

Kofi was averaging around 27 a game over his last 15 or so games but he's really struggled so far this series and we'll need to get him going if we're to have any chance.

Oh wow, we actually won a road playoff game for the first time in my 3 seasons as Blazers GM. It was a close game, but our 3-point shooting helped us win the shootout, 126-122. Our backcourt of Fultz and Haliburton really carried us.

[Flaming Homer]

Again, we needed one quarter to separate us from the Bucks. The rest of the game was even.
Good job from our main bench player again and we don't risk a extended series in getting win 4 quickly.

Good series Manu, it seems the Hawks team went into this payoffs with smoking hot shooting, I don't think that was a lack of defense from your team.

Next New York ad a rematch of last years playoff round 1. The Knicks are a much better team this time around, but so are we (hopefully).

ATL - MIL: 98 - 84

MIL
T. Brown: 24pt (9/13), 7reb, 4ass
D. Musa: 17pt (6/12), 5ass, 2blk

ATL
J. Alvarado: 20pt (9/21), 8ass, 5stl
L. Ball: 14pt (4/7), 5reb, 6ass

Enjoy bro!!!

Congratulations Andre. A well deserved sweep. I think not many people realize what a difference maker Alvarado is. For NLL veterans, he is a Mike Conley in the making (with a bit less of scoring, but the same impact).

As for us, the season was a roller coaster from beginning to end. I made the wrong moves in the offseason and this is the outcome. Now we have a key offseason ahead, so we better get things right this time.
