You're too good, I won't let you retire quite yet. You're approaching heavy decline territory though, or you might just retire on your own actually.

i'M AVERAGING 5 POINTS PER GAME holy shit

 

[V.O.]

Six teams in the playoffs with losing/tied records, including half the teams in the West. That's got to be some kind of record?

You're welcome, Canada!

[P-Nut]

If only me and Solius would have had 1 season together rather than just missing out on the meet up.

Surprised to make the play offs so suppose this has been a good season.

 

[reelworld]

If next season Denver can land either Kawhi or Kyrie then hopefully that would be enough for playoff!
Next draft is pretty bad though beside those two

It's not a bad little draft, honestly. Remember it bases their stats on their rookie season, so we might have some funny results. Like Iman Shumpert possibly being the best player of the draft.

Actually this made me curious, so here are the best players from each draft class since we started, by peak (excluding you lot):

2010: John Wall (61/73)
2009: Tyreke Evans (67/78)
2008: Derrick Rose (77/83)
2007: Kevin Durant (83/89)
2006: Brandon Roy (72/74)
2005: Yaroslav Korolev (71/76)
2004: Josh Childress (77/80)
2003: Carmelo Anthony (79/83)
2002: Caron Butler (75/77)
2001: Andrei Kirilenko (75/78)
2000: Darius Miles (77/78)
1999: James Posey (69/73)
1998: Vince Carter (79/79)
1997: Tim Thomas (72/76)
1996: Allen Iverson (77/80)
1995: Michael Finley (80/82)

New Jersey 109-98 Indiana | V.O.: 18/1/16 | Skizzo: out injured
Chicago 106-87 Miami | SebJr: 17/0/3

Spoiler: Game 2

Lakers 105-96 Golden State | altodevil: 3/25/1

New Jersey 105-70 Indiana | V.O.: 25/1/12 | Skizzo: out injured

Spoiler: Game 3

Lakers 101-92 Golden State | altodevil: 6/15/3
Clippers 107-115 Utah | Dr. Dwayne: 42/10/2
Portland 109-107 Sacramento | oneniltothearsenal: 14/16/0 & P-Nut: 37/3/12
Washington 114-98 Toronto | Salt Bailly: 25/6/7
Boston 102-96 Philadelphia | hobbers: 35/11/14
New Jersey 107-115 Indiana | V.O.: 14/1/17 | Skizzo: out injured
Chicago 116-98 Miami | SebJr: 15/3/7 (in 18 minutes!)

Spoiler: Game 4

Lakers 81-97 Golden State | altodevil: 0/17/0
Clippers 112-101 Utah | Dr. Dwayne: 34/10/4
Portland 95-102 Sacramento | oneniltothearsenal: 16/16/1 & P-Nut: 40/3/6
Washington 112-99 Toronto | Salt Bailly: 15/5/9
Boston 84-80 Philadelphia | hobbers: 21/12/11
New Jersey 120-103 Indiana | V.O.: 29/0/15 | Skizzo: out injured
Chicago 115-98 Miami | SebJr: 7/0/6

We lose Salt Bailly and Toronto, but it would have taken a miracle to beat the Wizards as the 8-seed. He's never played better in the playoffs before, so the loss isn't on him. SebJr didn't play enough to heavily impact the series, but beating Chicago was probably never on the cards either.

Spoiler: Game 5

Lakers 87-74 Golden State | altodevil: 2/24/6
Clippers 102-112 Utah | Dr. Dwayne: 25/7/1
Portland 103-102 Sacramento | oneniltothearsenal: 6/14/1 & P-Nut: 29/3/12
Boston 108-82 Philadelphia | hobbers: 23/8/13
New Jersey 111-80 Indiana | V.O.: 24/1/13 | Skizzo: out injured

altodevil is through, as expected, as is V.O.! We lose Skizzo, but he was injured for the duration (and would miss the next round also in any case).

Spoiler: Game 6

Clippers 85-110 Utah | Dr. Dwayne: 22/9/4
Portland 87-117 Sacramento | oneniltothearsenal: 9/8/3 & P-Nut: 43/3/9
Boston 99-83 Philadelphia | hobbers: 25/7/10

Utah and Dr. Dwayne make it through after his best playoff series ever, at the age of 33! As does hobbers after going down 0-2 and momentarily probably furiously preparing his next post in this thread.

Spoiler: Game 7

Portland 96-92 Sacramento | oneniltothearsenal: 15/10/2 & P-Nut: 39/1/8

We lose the Sacramento boys (oneniltothearsenal and P-Nut)! They were heavy underdogs, so losing in 7 games is no great failure. Also note how three of their losses were within 4 points. After the start of the season they had this should not be considered a disappointment.

We've got another Cafite match-up in the West, but hobbers would do very well to get through Washington in the east, while V.O. has an okay chance on paper.

Though this probably doesn't help V.O.:

Ryan Anderson (69 ovr) and Channing Frye (62 ovr) on Washington are also still injured for 3 and 1 game respectively, but both will play through it.

 

[sebsheep]

Thought we might get 1 win at least.

Honestly maybe if you had played more, but you're still a newbie. You had the 2nd highest GameScore on the team in two of the games. But Vince Carter destroyed you guys.

Someone needs to stop alto.

@nimic do the Griz have a decent draft pick?

You have 3rd and 8th, but the top 14 picks are decided by a weighted lottery. So you could end up with the 1st and 2nd picks, or at worst the 6th and 11th picks.

Looking forward to 6 and 11 then.

Denver has your (pretty bad) 2011 pick. You have your own 2012 pick, as well as that of Golden State and your old pals Charlotte. In 2013 you also have Houston's pick.

 

[nimic]

I think it's time for some more stats after this season. If I forget, someone remind me.

For instance, we have a Cafite in 4th on the "most games injured" list, and we have #1 in both "Best Players Without a Ring" and "Best Players Without an MVP".

Yep. Your contract is expiring, though, and you have 52% chance to re-sign.

Others:

• Dr. Dwayne (12%)
• V.O. (96%)
• Stobzilla II (<1%)
• SebJr (31%)

Come on Lakers.

 

[nimic]

Come on Lakers.

The Lakers are going to be over the salary cap 3 seasons from now even if they don't re-sign any of their players until then. They're currently at 158% of the cap.

I don't think there's any way to make it happen even in theory.

 

[nimic]

Well I guess in theory altodevil and/or Nene could retire.

 

[altodevil]

Sorry, Lakers is members-only

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Boo Lakers.

Can I interest you in a Clippers?

Just the one so far, yes. I'm afraid your first iteration didn't make it.
