We'll either have a 5-in-a-row @altodevil, or a new-champion @V.O.!

For the final we have the full match stats for everyone who played at least ~10 minutes.

The reigning champions take first blood! Kirk Hinrich leads the way with 38 points.

1-1!

2-1 to th Nets, and V.O. plays his first minutes in these playoffs!

It's all evened up, we've got a thriller on our hands.

This is the power of the Nets, and why they made it to the final without V.O.: nobody has a great game, but they've got such an evenly strong team that they win even though the two best performances were by Lakers players (26 rebounds by altodevil, 8 blocks!). The Lakers seem heavily reliant on Kirk Hinrich scoring, and when he doesn't they're in trouble.

The winning streak has been broken! V.O. picks up another injury, but it's a small one - and he still managed to provide 9 points in his 12 minutes played. The Nets have won while only giving serious minutes to 6-7 players throughout the entire series. Congratulations to V.O., winning his first ring at 31!

Feels like a long time since I photoshopped my guy like that...
 
Is this the end of the dynasty or a brief pause? Nene and Hinrich must be getting on a bit. What's the contract situation like?

Can probably just call it quits at this stage. Not much point continuing the chase for GOAT status when you've just been scientifically proven to be the second best player on the '99 Cavs.
 
4 games played. Closer to my games played in the playoffs than alto's :lol:

For Cafites:

For Lakers: No expiring contracts in your top 12 players. No expiring contracts in your starting 5 next year either. Age and decline is your only challenge.

For good measure, here are the Nets: No top 5 expiring contracts and top 3 players (after V.O.'s injury) are quite young.

Draft Lottery for the upcoming draft:

Yes, this means that the #1 pick will go the team with the best record in the East (Boston), and the #2 pick will go to the team with the second best record in the East (Washington).

You've got MVPs, rings, All Stars, All NBAs, All Defensives, etc, so I wouldn't be too upset with your strategy. You have been extremely loyal to the Knicks, though. You've currently got the 10th most games for one team in NBA history, and you're joint 14th for most seasons (13). You're probably going to re-sign, so you might honestly get to joint 1st (17), or even set a new record.

It's remarkable that V.O. even shopped the little iPhone screens to show the correct image.

altodevil, The Cub and hobbers all make the All-Defensive 1st Team, with BenitoSTARR having to settle with the 3rd Team for the first time since 2004. He makes the All-League 1st Team though, together with P-Nut and hobbers. Solius and altodevil make the 2nd Team.

Yet again Kevin Durant is MVP, and I think this is something we have to get used to. altodevil as DPOTY is not surprising, but he might only have one or two more in him. He might also look at Drew Gooden being named Most Improved Player and rue the fact that Gooden was traded from the Lakers at the start of the season.

Trades

@V.O. (Nets) - the champions are future proofing. They sure do love PGs.

@hobbers & @Skizzo (Celtics) - more future proofing, let's see if it pays off.

@Solius (Grizzlies) - getting rid of a Point Guard for an equal Forward/Center can't be a bad move when Solius is a PG himself.

@oneniltothearsenal & @P-Nut (Kings) - sure, why not?

Pre Season Power Rankings - the East is stacked, again! This might still change as long as the trade window is open.
