Grizzlies 1-4 Spurs

Raptors 2-4 Cavaliers
Bucks 4-3 Pistons
Nets 0-4 Wizards
76ers 2-4 Celtics

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

Impressive PE score for me only being a 67 overall at the moment. Hopefully that bodes well for further development even though I still have no idea what player efficiency means.

What the feck is force win

Where he chooses who wins.

 

[nimic]

Pretty much. I've never used it, so I don't know how it actually works. The games are simulated, box score and all, so maybe it just simulates a game until the "right" team wins.

Both West juggernauts complete their sweeps! So does Utah, which means weetee and sontodevil are both out. Any other result was a long shot, in their defense.

Cafites are doing really well so far these playoffs! The Nuggets, Cavs and Celtics all win 4-1. Though Two Nil had a great match himself, and honestly the 4-1 scoreline disguises a series full of close games. If my math doesnt fail me, the total series score is 548-548!

Spoiler: Game 6

Detroit Pistons LOSE!​

90​

117​

Milwaukee Bucks WIN! reelworld II: 22/5/11​

The final Cafite wins as well, and that means reelworld II has now officially doubled his playoff experience - and is guaranteed to do more than that!

2nd Round

Two Cafite v Cafite match-ups. I do think the Celtics and the Spurs will win, but those games are both capable of the "what just happened?" moments. I wish I could say the same for Dr. Junior's chances against Kevin Durant's Wizards, but I fear that's a 4-0 sweep in waiting. The final match might also be a sweep, but Utah have proven that they can beat the odds before. I think Lil' V.O and weeweetee might be in for a fight.

 

[altodevil]

Good update

 

[Solius]

Thanks nimmy

 

[hobbers]

28 point average winning margin over the Memphis Teddy Bears

 

[Stobzilla]

Top 5 in scoring and Rebounds and 6th in PER. I will call that a successful season on an individual level but god damn this organisation...

 

[reelworld]

me after the series

 

[reelworld]

Honestly though, there's no way Bucks is gonna win against Celtics . Just hope it's not a sweep

 

[Heine]

We seem to have a crazy defence…. Though I guess it helps when the star of the opposing team got Nunez level finishing

 

[P-Nut]

First time in years I'm not a high scorer, and the team looks miles better. I'm guessing I'm not playing anywhere near as many minutes

 

[weetee]

We should use our deep squad to foul nobbers every time he gets the ball. Like Chi played against shaq back in the day. Hope our ai manager is smart enough (no disrespect coach). Also Klay needs his a-game.

But first Utah, we‘ll avenge you father.

 

[nimic]

First time in years I'm not a high scorer, and the team looks miles better. I'm guessing I'm not playing anywhere near as many minutes

34.4 minutes per game instead of 39-40 minutes per game, so not a huge difference. The biggest difference is that Joel Embiid is doing a lot of the scoring, and also now BenitwoSTARRLET.

The first and only sweep is in, as Nobbers leads spurs with a 50-point performance. P-Nut and BenitwoSTARRLET did well to get to the 2nd Round, but they were really up against it here.

As expected, both Washington and Boston close out their series. Their opponents played well, but in the end it was a bridge too far for Dr. Junior and reelworld II.

Utah Jazz WIN!​

Shock win by Utah!

We could have a Cafite v Cafite final, or we could have no Cafites at all. Most likely we'll have a replay of last year's final, though it's worth nothing that Dr. Junior and Cleveland did have several very close games with Washington. Utah have also beaten expectations before - like literally just now.

Always suspected Biyombo was the most important player in Houston....

Hoped for a rematch against Rockets as I feel they are our rivals, but they will just have to do better next year. Time to beat Utah!

Preview

NBA Final

Spoiler: Game 1

First blood goes to Washington! A monster game by Durant, while the two injured Spurs starters struggled. It was close, though!

Spoiler: Game 2

It's tied up! Kevin Durant was completely neutralized. Does this show the path?

Spoiler: Game 3

If Kevin Durant gets to take 30 shots, you might be in trouble. Even when he misses 17 of them.

Spoiler: Game 4

Suddenly it's 3-1 to the Wizards! Nobbers keeps putting up huge numbers, but the Spurs as a team are missing quite a lot of shots as well.

Spoiler: Game 5

Dynasty. I'll be honest, I was convincing myself that the Spurs would win at least the next 4-5 rings. But apparently you can't count Kevin Durant out. Or Bradley "45 points" Beal. And if they can do it, maybe the Rockets can do it, or the Celtics - or someone else. The league just got interesting!

Nobbers consistently put up big numbers this series, and was the best Spurs performer in 4 out of 5 games. His efficiency is the only point against him. Heine was very efficient, on the other hand, and generally played quite well - with one very notable exception. Sonius was hampered in the early games by his niggling injury, but came back with a great game 5. altodevil is hard to judge, since he's never been primarily a box score player, but he'll be disappointed by the relative lack of rebounds, blocks and steals in some games. He can hardly be blamed for the loss, though.

Gentleman's sweep.

And as we all know from current NBA discourse, losing in the final is worse than missing the playoffs or going out in any round before the finals.
