Not. Even. Close.

[theJ]

Wall misses game 2, and the Wizards are thrashed again.  Crushed them on FT's, like i seem to do a lot.

Gatson had a big game (sign of things to come).  John Wall returned too, but to no avail.

And another sweep!  12 game win streak, and on to the finals!  Chris Paul got hurt in the game, apparently.  Only played three minutes.  Burke with another big FT game.

Hornets Roster.  They definitely have a better roster than i do.  And Gordon is a bonafide scorer, outside of Samuel and Davis.  Though Davis is more of a defensive presence than a scoring threat.

It's all even now.  And we're going back to Orlando, so the Hornets lose that 3-1 advantage completely.

I've pretty much removed all PT from the lower level guys.  Counting on the top 8 to take me home.  Here we go.

Key Stat	Magic 24/33 FT, Hornets 13/17 - Gatson 17/10/3

 

Honestly did not expect that i would win the championship this season.  Going for a three-peat now.  This team should be even more dangerous next season.

Hornets took out the #1 seed Spurs Dale Burke 23.4/7.6/3.1 on 50% shooting and 45% from 3PT on series

 

Dale Burke was the Finals MVP.

What a comeback.

[theJ]

Moving on from that high.  Final scouting report.  Notice i didn't post the top prospects.  I didn't spend any time on the guys near the top, figuring i'd be picking toward the bottom.  So these are all late round guys.

Going to have a lethal lineup next year.  Gatson in particular has turned into a really good offensive weapon down low.  He's still developing his outside skills too.

Also, Marty McGuire didn't regress.  In fact he gained another sig skill.  Will post that with the cards later.
