Summary

Season Awards
I'm surprised it wasn't Nobbers, but I think this is the one case where it helps to be on a worse team. sontodevil is the Memphis Grizzlies. The relative lack of Spurs players in the All-League Teams might suggest they're cannibalising each other as far as stats go. I'm sure they'll be fine with their rings.

Draft Lottery
All it takes for the two worst teams to get the two best picks is for neither of them to be the Oklahoma City Thunder.
This is the draft class in presumed draft order, but it often changes. The draft has not happened yet.

Summary
- weeweetee, Lil' V.O. and hobbers (Houston) made it to the Conference Final in the West, but remain unable to beat the Spurs.
- Prediction: they'll be back next season, and the result will depend entirely on the relative improvements of the youngsters and declines of the oldheads. weeweetee will sign a new contract if the Rockets offer one - which they bloody well should.
- sontodevil (Memphis) had a fantastic season personally, but wasn't able to drag his team to the 2nd Round this time.
- Prediction: the Grizzlies will get even better, finishing in the top half in the regular season
- Nobbers, Heine, Sonius and altodevil (San Antonio) got their revenge on Durant and his Wizards.
- Prediction: repeat champions if altodevil can stay playable, or else if all the youngsters improve enough to compensate for the loss in defensive stability. That is, if they're all re-signed.
- Dan II (Lakers) was predictably unable to stop his team from getting swept by the dominant Spurs. Dan II averaged more than 1 point per minute when he played.
- Prediction: Dan II will get even better, and it might be what takes him from "bench player" to "regularly scores 40 points". He might leave the Lakers.
- Dr. Junior and BenitoSTARR (Cleveland) beat the 76ers easily, but were swept by the Raptors in the 2nd Round - surprisingly easily.
- Prediction: Dr. Junior will probably re-sign with the Cavaliers, but a lot of their best players are in their mid-late 20s or even 30s, so it's hard to predict how good they will be next season.
- reelworld II (Milwaukee) was also unable to resist the Toronto sweep. He had a great personal season, but he's just one man.
- Prediction: 4 out of 5 in the starting 5 (plus the 6th best player) are all 25 or younger. With some luck the team could look better next season. There are no guarantees, though.
