2020 Playoffs Conference Finals

No matter what happens, at least one Cafite will see the NBA Final for the first time. Kevin Durant and his Wizards have had such an iron grip on the East that none of reelworld II, Two Nil, Stobzilla II or SebJr have made it. None of the Knicks trio have made the Conference Finals before, for that matter. SebJr has, but was defeated by his current team.

Will the Spurs gang get to their 4th Final? Players grumble about them having broken the league, but they're still "only" sitting on two rings, for all their talent.

What a shocker, it's the Wizards vs the Spurs again. Although it's actually genuinely a little bit surprising to see Washington in the Final for once. hobbers' Boston teams get a lot of stick, but this is on paper the weakest Washington team in years. Though it should be pointed out that the SebJr trade happened fairly late in the season, so the regular season record might not be a reliable measure.

Can they beat the Spurs gang, though? I doubt it, but they've done it before!

A lot of people have asked me if I'm the assist king. The answer is yes.
 
Actually @P-Nut you have a 95% chance of re-signing. So you might want to rip it up anyway. You've spent enough time at Denver for it to be "free" anyway.

Of course, you might well just end up signing for them again, what with the P-Nut shaped hole you're leaving.

Of course there is, rarely make the playoffs but we just want to stay forever. Yeah get me out of there man if I do resign

The Spurs have won their third ring! In the end it wasn't very close, though it required avoiding injuries to a very thin squad beyond the starting 5. To those that are worried that this means the Spurs are going to win the next 8 rings in a row, I wouldn't be too worried. There are already signs that some of the young stars aren't happy being just a cog in the machine, particularly when the Spurs don't seem to favour upping their facility spending to match the ambition. But that is a challenge for the future, for now the Spurs are victorious!

20 minutes a game in the finals at 41 - GOAT

Sonius you could argue was FMVP though.
 
I'm still the assist king.
KD clearly let me down there.

The San Antonio Spurs won their 3rd ever Championship, all with the current golden generation crop. A 79-3 regular season followed by a 16-0 regular season run, no doubt the best team in NBA history. They have weaknesses, but their starting 5 has none. I won't predict an obvious repeat winner quite yet, given they failed to win again after both their previous rings.

I think I got everyone. This is the first time since 1997 that altodevil doesn't have a single 25+ rebound game. I guess 21 isn't too bad for a 41 year old. Decide for yourself whether it was a good trade or not for the Lakers. I guess they got what they wanted: a bad team to get good picks for the future.

(This reminds me, I should do another stat bonanza after this season)

3rd team all-defense as a bench player of 41 years of age.
 
nimic you shit on everything your golden goose has achieved
 
I forgot we got the pick for Murray in the Alto trade… What a terrible trade by Lakers

We are a shutdown defence, when our reserve big is 3rd team all defence and we got 3 1st team. Then we just let nobbers do his thing on the other end, and score if he lends us the ball. Will be a sad day when it gets broken up

Nature abhors a vacuum, and I think in the game players abhor small markets. If all your contracts expired right now, Nobbers would have a 52% desire to re-sign, you 40% and Sonius 12%. altodevil >99%, because he knows a good time when he sees it. Incidentally, those first three are in order of playing time, so that might have an impact too.

Well said. I think Heine also doesn't realize they're literally burning Spurs' shirts all over the continent except for one city.

P-Nut is yet to find a team. I suspect he'll find one as soon as the season starts.


Trades

So many trades.

SebJr (Wizards > Pelicans), BenitwoSTARRLET (Pelicans) - the self-proclaimed Assist King only got one season in Washington. Maybe Durant was jealous?
F5w2P92.png


Solius (Kings > Knicks), reelworld II, Stobzilla II & Two Nil (Knicks) - this could be an amazing trade, or an all-time bad one. It all hinges on what happens over the summer with these players and their ratings.

  • Tyler Ennis (62/64) from Cleveland to Minnesota
  • Jarrett Allen (60/66) from Sacramento to Milwaukee
  • Lauri Markkanen (64/68) from Utah to Orlando
  • Maurice Harkless (66/67) from Atlanta to Sacramento
  • Frank Ntilikina (59/68) from Detroit to Orlando
  • Bradley Beal (69/71) from Miami to Sacramento
