2018 NBA Final
2018 NBA Final

@hobbers @Heine @Solius @altodevil

With no delay whatsoever, we're going right into the NBA Final! It's a repeat of last year's final, and the one before that: the San Antonio Spurs against the Washington Wizards. The Spurs have the young trio of Nobbers, Heine and Sonius, as well as the old rock altodevil. Washington are relying mainly on Kevin Durant, but Bradley Beal, James Harden and Aaron Gordon aren't slouches either.

NBA Final

The Spurs take game 1! Terrible shooting by the Wizards, and pretty good shooting by the Spurs. Washington can't win like that.

2-0! Washington closed the shooting gap a bit, but this proves that even with Nobbers having an off day ("only" getting 26 points, taking 22 shots to get there), there are several others who can pick up the slack (like Jamal Murray).

This is too easy! None of the three games have been remotely close either. Yet again there's a big shooting gap, and yet again Nobbers gets 38.

They've done it again! It would have been a three-peat if they hadn't lost last time to Washington, but something tells me they'll get another chance at it.

Yeah boyyyyy. Did Sonius play the whole thing injured?
 
7. I've eclipsed even Jordan (in real life). Might not be winning Finals MVP anymore, but still a dominant and important player.
 
Guess the big question now is, can the Spurs renew Heine and Sonius?
 
Another ring baby!:smirk:

Now the management just have to keep the gang together and make another try, even though Houston will be back for revenge. The owners can't be so cheap they will break up this while we are winning

Summary

  • weeweetee, Lil' V.O. and hobbers (Houston) made it to the Conference Final in the West, but remain unable to beat the Spurs.
    • Prediction: they'll be back next season, and the result will depend entirely on the relative improvements of the youngsters and declines of the oldheads. weeweetee will sign a new contract if the Rockets offer one - which they bloody well should.
  • sontodevil (Memphis) had a fantastic season personally, but wasn't able to drag his team to the 2nd Round this time.
    • Prediction: the Grizzlies will get even better, finishing in the top half in the regular season
  • Nobbers, Heine, Sonius and altodevil (San Antonio) got their revenge on Durant and his Wizards.
    • Prediction: repeat champions if altodevil can stay playable, or else if all the youngsters improve enough to compensate for the loss in defensive stability. That is, if they're all re-signed.
  • Dan II (Lakers) was predictably unable to stop his team from getting swept by the dominant Spurs. Dan II averaged more than 1 point per minute when he played.
    • Prediction: Dan II will get even better, and it might be what takes him from "bench player" to "regularly scores 40 points". He might leave the Lakers.
  • Dr. Junior and BenitoSTARR (Cleveland) beat the 76ers easily, but were swept by the Raptors in the 2nd Round - surprisingly easily.
    • Prediction: Dr. Junior will probably re-sign with the Cavaliers, but a lot of their best players are in their mid-late 20s or even 30s, so it's hard to predict how good they will be next season.
  • reelworld II (Milwaukee) was also unable to resist the Toronto sweep. He had a great personal season, but he's just one man.
    • Prediction: 4 out of 5 in the starting 5 (plus the 6th best player) are all 25 or younger. With some luck the team could look better next season. There are no guarantees, though.

I'm surprised it wasn't Nobbers, but I think this is the one case where it helps to be on a worse team. sontodevil is the Memphis Grizzlies. The relative lack of Spurs players in the All-League Teams might suggest they're cannibalising each other as far as stats go. I'm sure they'll be fine with their rings.

Draft Lottery

All it takes for the two worst teams to get the two best picks is for neither of them to be the Oklahoma City Thunder.

This is the draft class in presumed draft order, but it often changes. The draft has not happened yet.

Even if I'm 45 overall, I don't care, I've got a decent chance at leeching an 8th and final ring.

Proud of my son but I'm no hypocrite, it's all about winning not awards.
 
Ah good, now Two Nil is the true heir to the triple double legacy

Free Agency

Sonius, Heine, weeweetee and Dr. Junior all re-sign for their respective teams. That puts both the Spurs and the Rockets more than $45 million above the salary cap.

The Cub predictably decided to leave the Thunder, and has signed for the Brooklyn Nets.

The Cub (Nets) - that second trade seems unhinged unless Labissière really is that important.

reelworld II (Bucks) - there's a lot going on here, but ultimately it hinges on Stephen Curry being good next season.

Mirotic has benched me, but what an acquisition given I'll be using a zimmer.
 
The band is back for another round! Great! Sonius taking less shows a good teamplayer, and let me get my money :D

I like getting Mirotic, even though the screenshot of Ntilikina shows that it was most likely a bad trade... Still, the team gives away high 1sts that most likely will never play a big role to get another ring, I like that

Hate it or love it your boy Nobbers is on top, he gonna nobble you until his heart stops.

Sonius once again nowhere on these lists. No wonder Heine got 1.5 times his salary.

Yeah my child is a bit of a disappointment in the grand scheme of things.
