What happened to the Grizz
P-Nut left - but he went to the Kings and now they're bad too?

Oh my god
Sorry @P-Nut, I seem to be a jinx!
We are lucky the rest of the west are so bad. 
10/11 Trade Deadline Update
Amazing consistency across my players
Why the feck have the Grizzlies fallen apart so badly?
I left. Wanted to stay there it was going well.
So damn mediocre
Damn Portland are legit
That's gorgeous and explains the Grizz trade
The importance of team construction.
D.J. Strawberry is my new favourite player.
Wasn't he a baseball player who showed up on the Simpsons?
That's his dad, apparently!

10/11 All Star Weekend
2011 All Star Weekend
Quick standings update. As I said, next season I'll drop the previous update and just combine them into this one. But here's a few games of progress (or regress..ion?)
Observations:
All Star Weekend
Dunk Contest - Kevin Durant ain't shit
3 Point Contest - fewer Cafites than for a while, partly due to injuries. 5x winner @BenitoSTARR is in, as is 3x winner @Solius and perennial participants @Samid and @P-Nut. Solius hasn't won since he had this third in a row in 2004. 3x Caf-destroyer Kyle Korver is also here.
1st Round - 4 advance
Martell Wester: 25
Kyle Korver: 22
Kirk Hinrich: 26
J.R. Bremer: 28
The reigning 3-Point Champion is out just like that! 21 is the worst BenitoSTARR has shot in one of those, by some margin.
Better from Samid, 26 might be enough to go through.
P-Nut needs Solius to shoot 25 or lower.
27! We've only got two Cafites in the 2nd Round (Samid and Solius - the SS boys), which is great news for me (fewer screenshots). Unless someone starts shooting identically and takes us into tiebreak rounds. Don't you fecking dare Solius, I will end you.
2nd Round - 2 advance
Final Round
Samid did well to get to the final round, but it's the return of 3P-Solius!
All Star Game
West - @P-Nut returns as West captain, his 5th time in a row. @Solius, @Dr. Dwayne and @altodevil also return.
East - @BenitoSTARR loses the East captaincy to bonafide superstar Kevin Durant. @hobbers makes his 11th appearance and @Samid his 6th, while @Salt Bailly continues his veteran arc by making his 2nd all star team in a row. We've also got a (sort of) newcomer: The Cub (@The Cat). @V.O. misses out on injury.

Observations:
- @Skizzo and the Pacers are finding some form and solidifying their playoff chances.
- @sebsheep and the Heat aren't quite there yet, but 6-3 is a good start.
- 4-5 isn't great for @Dr. Dwayne and the Jazz, given they are only wins ahead of the Clippers just outside of the playoff spots.
- The surprisingly bad Kings (@oneniltothearsenal and @P-Nut) are looking to improve, while the surprisingly bad Grizzlies (@Solius) are still surprisingly bad.
- Both conferences seem rather top heavy, with three or four pretty good teams and a whole bunch of meh. On the plus side, that means anything could happen. Well, almost anything. I don't think @Samid or @reelworld are making the playoffs.

Solius is easily through!
Samid too! It's an All-Caf final round.

The East wins! 2nd time in a row, and the 5th time in 6 years.
Am I a 10x all star yet? It's all I've got. 
12 times is not bad at all.
Talk about a master class in basketball!
Oooh look at us trying to make the playoffs!

Mvp?
How many all star mvps I got now

Kevin Durant was All Star MVP for some reason, even though you've got the highest GameScore.
You were only All Star MVP in 2002, but nobody has many of them. It seems quite inconsistent in how it picks the winner.
What a sham
I can reveal that the playoff race is a bit wild this year.
The Cub looks like a rebounding monster. Promising start.
Hard to get excited about it when the actual playoffs are a foregone conclusion.
A race to the bottom in my case.
This could be your year. But to be fair I've said that every year.
i'M AVERAGING 5 POINTS PER GAME holy shit
10/11 End of Season and Playoff Bracket
10/11 End of Season and Playoff Bracket
Final Conference Standings
Western Conference - another strong season from @altodevil and the Lakers. @Dr. Dwayne makes his 5th playoffs, and his first with Utah - though their poor form in the last third of the season almost put them out. Conversely, the decent form of the Kings makes sure that the new duo of @oneniltothearsenal and @P-Nut make the playoffs with one win to spare! Half the playoff teams from the West have a below 50% win record.
At the bottom of the conference we have two youngsters, @Stobzilla at the Hornets and @reelworld on the Nuggets. Both had almost decent records to end the end the season. reelworld II in particular might take heart from actually having a winning record in the last 25 games of the season. @Solius also has one with the surprisingly bad Memphis Grizzlies, though it was not quite good enough for a playoff spot. Incredibly only three wins off, though.
Eastern Conference - what drama! @Salt Bailly's Toronto Raptors end the season with a very good 15-10 record, and winning their last two games was enough to put them even on wins with two teams who didn't make the playoffs, the Cavs and @BenitoSTARR's Knicks - pulling ahead on tiebreakers. Right ahead of them we have @sebsheep who also had a good end to the season, and right ahead of that @Skizzo, who kinda didn't - but still had enough of a buffer to make it in 6th.
The two Cafite final hopes in the East are definitely @V.O. with the Nets and @hobbers with the Celtics. Both will probably have to beat a strong Washington Wizards to get there, though, and hobbers will have to do it in the 2nd Round. At the bottom we have the unsurprisingly bad Charlotte Bobcats, though @Samid did help them nearly double their wins with a 7-17 end. @weetee's Hawks aren't quite that bad, but still pretty bad. @Dan and @The Cat were only two games from 39 wins, and coincidentally lost their last two games.
