NBA Final
First blood goes to Washington! A monster game by Durant, while the two injured Spurs starters struggled. It was close, though!
![]()
It's tied up! Kevin Durant was completely neutralized. Does this show the path?

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

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.

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.

Up next: Season Review (where we'll say goodbye to a few players)
Squad depth is not your strength.Wilcox needs to fall into a vat of sulphuric acid.
No. As the new goat Nobbers needs to find his way onto a bankrolled team.Squad depth is not your strength.
Wait weetee even more egregious![]()

Trades
Lots of trades!
Pepper Bailly (Timberwolves) - Do the Timberwolves want to be good?
![]()
reelworld II (Bucks), Pepper Bailly (Timberwolves) - Do the Timberwolves want to be bad?
![]()
reelworld II (Bucks) - Doesn't seem too bad for the Bucks?
![]()
![]()
Stobzilla II, Two Nil & BenitoSTARR (Knicks), Dr. Junior (Cavaliers) - Why are teams suddenly giving away 55-ish rating players for 2nd round picks?
![]()
Stobzilla II, Two Nil & BenitoSTARR (Knicks) - I don't understand. Getting a younger but worse and more expensive player. And their contracts both end after the season.
![]()
Stobzilla II, Two Nil & BenitoSTARR (Knicks) - okay this one makes some sense at least.
![]()
The Cub (Thunder) - here's a spoiler for you. That one player who went to Washington is now better than any of the players that went to Oklahoma City in return.
![]()
The Cub (Thunder) - okay I guess?
![]()
Solius (Pelicans)
![]()
P-Nut & BenitwoSTARRLET (Nuggets) - I mean, yeah, getting rid of a SG for a more versatile Guard is pretty smart when you already have two other ones.

Finally, some new style.

Could go both ways.69 potential draft isn't too bad.
Could go both ways.
You can go over the cap to pay your existing players, but the higher you go the more you have to pay all the other teams in luxury tax. Basically Houston is really hoping you two get them a ring or two.How did the Rockets pay me with cap space of minus infinity?![]()
About that...Sonius, all that potential but where's the improvement?
Cut him loose.
I'll have you know I was a more than numbers guy. The engine room, if you will.Salt Bailly making HoF![]()
Grim. In the bin.About that...

Decent ones, yes! You're taking some steps yourself, but you'll have to wait for part 2/3 for that. You're not quite ready to lead the Lakers to glory.Good trades for the Lakers @nimic?
