Those results mean we'll have the expected Rockets vs Spurs match-up in the Conference Finals! The only thing that remains is to see who will be playing Toronto over in the East.

It'll be Washington against Toronto! Last year we basically crowned the Spurs after they made it through the West, but the Wizards proved that they're not done yet. Will we see the same this year? Or maybe Houston will finally make it to the NBA Final?

I fear this is the end, they are too strong. Godlike even.

I reckon they could rattle off 4+ very quickly.
 
We didn't have an Alto vs Hobbers clash that often, right?

First game goes to the Rockets, despite a 54-point game by Nobbers! Though hobbers goes out with a strained foot. He'll still play, but no doubt at a reduced level.

It's all even.

Advantage San Antonio! Another monster game by Nobbers. His GameScore of 49.1 is higher than all other Spurs players plus two Houston starters combined. That's the third highest Playoff GameScore by a Cafite ever, after Solius in 2009 and reelworld II earlier in these playoffs!

Oof, so many missed shots by the Rockets. Maybe giving 34 shots to Biyombo, Miles and Connaughton isn't the best way to win Conference Finals.

Crazy! Not even having all five starters scoring 18 or more was enough to defeat the Spurs, who take the series 4-1. This time the Rockets can't blame their shooting. I guess this is what happens when a 59% career free throw shooter goes 15-18 from the line.

It's a repeat final: Spurs vs Wizards! That makes three in a row. The first one was won 4-3 by the Spurs, while last year was won 4-1 by the Wizards. Washington look more vulnerable than in a while, though. On the other hand, Sonius will be playing the first few matches with a sprained shoulder.

@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.

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).

Vvfzd1v.png


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.

9Y53odw.png


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?
 
Casual 108 combined gamescore in the 4 games.

Who's the goat now durant :lol:
 
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
