In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.
It is also a well known fact that you are nerds.
He only had some small injuries, so I'm not sure. He did decline a bit (which matters more when you're so high rating), but I think it might also be that he's got a couple other players to share his performances with. Last season, meaning the one they won, the two after him had a regular season PER of 22.1 and 18.3, this season 25.1 and 22.4.

Playoff (and play-in) Race with two games left

I can reveal that this season has seen the best and worst regular season teams since 1996 (the start of the experiment), measured in MOV (Margin of Victory). Mind you, none of the four previously "best" teams won the Championship (Spurs in '17 and '19, Rockets in '18 and '19).
So... don't take anything for granted.

We win every other year, so this is a championship season for us
Play-In Tournament
Just before I go to bed, let's get this thing out of the way.
Only @hobbers is involved, the rest of you somehow missed it (one way or another...)
Yellow teams are through. Teams 9-10 have to win twice to get through, while teams 7-8 only have to win once.
Old man hobbers makes it! Tomorrow you'll get to see who he has to play. I'm going away for the rest of the week on Wednesday, so we might just get all the way through the playoffs tomorrow. Alternatively I might leave you hanging on the Final again. We'll see how I feel.

Final standings
We haven't had this many in the playoffs from the East in years. Lil-Nut might be bitter to see his former teammate make the playoffs with his new team, but he's the one with time on his side. Skizzo is still improving, and apparently he needs to improve a bit more before. He's a great dunker, though, so that's something.
Dr. Junior and Dan II both made it comfortably, despite being "just" above the threshold. There really isn't that much separating their 76ers and Cavaliers from the teams above. SebJr got traded into a potential Finals run. Durant isn't quite what he was, and nor are the Wizards, but they were the clear underdogs last year and that didn't stop them. At the top of the East we find the newest superteam (?), the Knicks. reelworld II, Two Nil and Stobzilla II are all children of players who didn't see much playoff success. Maybe they feel like they have something to prove?
Oh Solius. You were on a really bad team, then last season that team was merely pretty bad, and now that team is still pretty bad but you signed for an even worse team. In fact, this Kings team is the worst team on record - by MOV, though not... you know, record. Above them you've got BenitwoSTARRLET, you for some reason decided to leave a good team and join Solius' previous bad team. Though it's possible the team she left wasn't going to be all that good anyway, as P-Nut and the Nuggets just barely missed the play-in-tournament. The late push was too little, too late.
hobbers did make the play-in with the Warriors, though with a less than impressive record and less than impressive form. The 8th seed (after the play-in) means he'll face his lad Nobbers in the play-in, along with Heine, Sonius, altodevil and all the other Spurs players. They're supposedly the best team ever, this time both by MOV and record. Though as I've mentioned before, the previously best 4 teams all failed to win the championship. They're also so top-heavy that a few injuries might prove disastrous (again).
Certainly that is what weeweetee and Lil' V.O. are hoping for. Their final record is very good, though after a merely decent start to the season it took a 22-3 run to get there. They've not got the incredible records of the last few seasons, but then again they didn't eventually win the championship in any of them anyway, so maybe it's not such a big deal?
Finally, we've got two merely good teams, who will have to put up something special to have any chance at beating the top 2. First they will have to beat each other, though, as sontodevil, The Cub and BenitoSTARR's Grizzlies host Pepper Bailly's Timberwolves in the 1st Round. Minnesota's away record suggests that Memphis' home court advantage will prove decisive.

Thanks nimic. Any chance to see which team(s) won against Spurs in the regular season?
Starting the playoffs with some knocks I see :/
Ah great the sim has already decided to start warping space and time to give us all injuries again
Spurs clearly overmotivated + team facilities lacking. + the Curse of Hobbers of course
Oh yeah, forgot about those.
San Antonio Spurs:
Chicago Bulls:
Charlotte 95-89
Memphis 98-97 (with sontodevil out - and altodevil)
Minnesota 109-106 (with Pepper Bailly out)
those games are probably the ones like when Warriors are getting bored with winning so Kerr decide to give Draymond the clipboard and call playsOh yeah, forgot about those.
San Antonio Spurs:
Chicago Bulls:
Charlotte 95-89
Memphis 98-97 (with sontodevil out - and altodevil)

One of those games we prolly tried something crazy like ask Alto to shoot or something

Not always. Only in 2020, 2019, 2017 and 2016. In 2018 they lost in the 1st Round, or it would have been the same.

Forgot to tag @Dr. Dwayne
And @sebsheep (can you tell I'm in the middle of packing?)
Sometimes the Bismarck sinks you. 
Oof. Bye Houston.
Perfect playoff run inc?
shite team building. Losing to Jazz and Phoenix despite being favorites is unacceptable. But spurs made the experiment pretty boring anyway.
If Knicks win this, it'll be fecking legendary. Got to run past Durant AND Spurs super team
Seb when he realises he's only 8 game wins from immortality =
Not Houston!?!? This feels strange
Easy mistake after that performance.
Feels like I'm carrying KD at the moment.
