Final Four (but no NCAA logos in sight)
Apr 1st, 2008 by lavonardo
Haagan Hakkapeliitat made it to the basketball semifinals of Yahoo! Public 159358.
The quarterfinal was a tight battle, but on the very last day the 6th seed pulled off an upset over the highest placed team in the quarters, Hakkapeliitat managed to inflict a serious increase in free throw percentage on sunday, and that turned the tables: 5-4.
Semifinals are not going to be pretty - Shawn Marion, my first round draft choice, is still hurt, and anyway languishing in the lottery bound Miami Heat. I have full confidence in Kevin Martin and Vince Carter racking in points during the final weeks of the regular season, but the other categories are a cause for worry. Erick Dampier has been a shadow of himself lately, and the number of blocks per game is uncomfortably low.
I’ll keep the audience informed.
