incredible comeback

I wish you could see a video of this game, just sped up a bit. This was a great one. The red and I had truced early on, he had me cornered, so he let me break free. We got beaten back, were down against two other truced players who had major dice stacks (purple and yellow). Red said that I came back from a 2 to 1 dice differential. Not sure if it was that large of a difference, but it was an incredible game. Probably the most fun I've ever had playing kdice to date. It's just too bad I didn't even get a screen shot (only because I screwed up and copy/pasted within this post instead of creating the picture of the game first). Oh, well, I've probably put up enough kdice pictures lately, but this one was a good one.

sixty-one and nineteen

The Phoenix Suns (61 - 19) came out like they owned the place. The only team in the NBA that they had not beaten was this Utah Jazz (49 - 31) team. Each of their 3 previous encounters, the Suns had let a 16, 8, or 15 point lead slip away as the Jazz came back to win each of those games. Not this time. The Suns got the lead, kept the lead, and made it look easy. Stat and Nash both earned double doubles. Stat had 14 points and 11 rebounds to Nash's 13 points and 18 assists. Barbosa ended up scoring 28 points, the game high, which was also the amount of points that the Suns demolished the Jazz by. The Suns scored 30+ points in each quarter, except for the third, where they ONLY scored 28. The Final score was 126 - 98, an incredible show of strength by the number two seed clinched Suns (since the Spurs lost to the Mavs today, the Spurs are now three games behind the Suns and cannot catch them). D'Antoni was so satisfied with the lead that he cleared the bench in the last 3-5 minutes of the game. It was a fun game to watch, and it made me proud to see that the Suns can defeat every team in the NBA, and with flare. Gotta have the flare. The Suns' next opponent is in Houston taking on the red hot Rockets (51 - 29) who've won the last four games and 7 of their last ten. We've won 5 straight and 8 of our last ten, so we are better...heh heh. The game starts at 5:30pm AZ time tomorrow. There is only one more game left in the regular season after that, and we take on the struggling LA Clippers who are just about out of the running to make the playoffs again this year. GO SUNS!

two more wins

Now both Valorin and Pseudo are over 1700.
Man, I spend way too much time doing this.

two kdice wins

Here are two wins with, yes, Teal. I was surprised, since I normally lose with this color, but I won today with Teal on both Pseudo and Valorin. I finally got to play with MbdM (Matthew du Mée), who originally introduced me to kdice in the first place.
