13/14 End of Regular Season and Playoff Bracket

(@BenitoSTARR @Dan @Dr. Dwayne @P-Nut @Salt Bailly @Samid @Skizzo @Solius @Stobzilla @The Cat @V.O. @altodevil @hobbers @oneniltothearsenal @reelworld @sebsheep @weetee)


Final Standings



This feels unfair. weetee's Timberwolves were 8th last update, finished the season 15-10, and dropped down to 9th and out of the playoffs. The culprit is Nobbers and the Spurs, who finished the season even better and is going to face altodevil's Lakers in the 1st Round, with both teams on good form. It's an incredibly even top 8 (or 9!) this season, so anything is possible in the West side of the playoffs.

Our other Western cafites will miss out, unfortunately. Solius & sontodevil had no way of keeping up with the aforementioned Nobbers and weetee. P-Nut finished the final 25 games with a winning record, but it wasn't good enough with the start he had. That means two of the best Cafite performers this year, by PER, are the two Cafites who finish lowest in the West - as The Cub also misses out.



As predicted, some our Cafites were bound to miss out on the playoffs despite their good starts. Two Nil misses out by one game, though consider that his Raptors won their final 3 and the 8th placed Hawks lost the same number, so it wasn't as close as it seems. reelworld II is a bit further back, and then somehow Samid's Bobcats had a complete disaster end to the season. If they had gone 9-16 he would have been in the playoffs. At the bottom of the East we've got Salt Bailly.

The Celtics didn't finish the season quite as well as they began it, but hobbers & Skizzo still have both by far the best record and by far the far form since last time. BenitoSTARR & Stobzilla, as well as Dr. Dwayne, ended with good records, but their recent form is only barely winning. That's still better than SebJr's Heat and V.O.'s Nets, who both ended poorly. Though it's clear from the numbers that the Nets just ended a 9 game losing streak. Maybe just in time?

Washington will have to survive at least 4 Durantless games against Orlando, since he's out for 8 games (will be back playing injured for when it's 4).

Kevin Durant will miss 4 games (and then play injured for another 4). Can the Orlando Magic do everyone in the East a huge favour?

altodevil and the #1 Lakers needed 7 to take out Nobbers and the #8 Spurs, though to be fair there were only 9 wins separating them. Dr. Dwayne's Cavaliers have eliminated the Heat, though who knows what could have happened if SebJr didn't get immediately injured. And imminently retiring V.O. has only gone and taken out the strong duo of BenitoSTARR and Stobzilla II in the Knicks v Nets classico. That's V.O.'s 2nd 20 assists game this entire season. Both of them have come in this series.

There's no stat-gathering for that, so I'll have to do it myself. There's no way I'm going through all players, so it would just be you guys. It's definitely you, though, after finishing #1 in the West for so long. You've been LeBronning a fairly weak conference, though you did win eventually (and then a few times after that).

You have 57 more playoff games than anyone else, never mind wins. Of course, you have that many games because you've won more series, so you get to play more games.
Easier conference you say? Can‘t look past that tbh. Put United into the Bundesliga and they‘re competing for the title as well (well, not this season).

Steady on, both your rings are out of the West too ;)
Not sure what you‘re hinting at..you mean when Alto had true competition in the conference his auto-pathway to the final wasn‘t a thing? :confused:

you‘re right i guess

2014 Playoffs 2nd Round

@altodevil, @hobbers, @Skizzo, @V.O.



2nd and 3rd seeded Washington and New York have been eliminated in the East, leaving 6th seeded Brooklyn, with assist-master V.O., facing off against 7th seeded Orlando. We've also got a Cafite match-up on the top side of the bracket, with overwhelming favourites hobbers & Skizzo meeting Dr. Dwayne's Cleveland. Maybe the old dog still has a trick in him?

In the West, altodevil's Lakers are yet again the 1-seed, but they're a weaker 1-seed than in previous years. Either that, or the rest of the conference is stronger than before - or both. They will have to beat 5-seed Portland, who finished just 4 wins behind them in the regular season.

The favourites win. Dr. Dwayne put up a good effort, but Boston was too big a challenge. Skizzo and hobbers will play recent champion V.O. in the Conference Finals. The last time they met was in Brooklyn's champion year. altodevil and the Lakers also dispatched Portland without difficulty. Their opponent is yet to be determined, but reigning champion Dallas is one of the options.




No repeat champion this year, but we have two teams still in it who haven't yet won a championship since we started our experiment: Boston and Utah. Neither has been in the NBA Finals at all, in fact.
