It's your duty to make sure Jordan does not renew with Phoenix.

Like with Spurs there should be no way they can afford Flagg, Primo, Wenbanyama and Jordan.

Like with Spurs there should be no way they can afford Flagg, Primo, Wenbanyama and Jordan.

The dynasty is for sure breaking up at some point. Jordan and Primo both warrant $45million contracts. Also with that many stars, someone is going to play less than they want. But also an injury or two would really mess with their playoff runs.

Before we get going with the play-in, let's take a look at the state of the Minnesota Timberwolves:

Well yeah, obviously this was going to happen.

Allen Iverson picked up an injury, because of course he did, but Minnesota still wins!

I seem to have taken back the role I had early in my career as a top defender and playmaker. Would be great if someone managed to stop the Suns, but most likely we are out against Clippers already so it wont be us...

My bet is on a repeat final from last year, that Suns team and Celtics picking up Wilt after going to the final last year...

rQrI4be.png


Two relatively close games to get these playoffs going! weeweetee with the best Caf performance of the lot, though he's no doubt got even more in the bag.



AjddT2U.png


The Cafites take the lead! Two Nil's injury should be a minor one, with luck. BenitwoSTARRLET is missing the start of this series due to a fractured finger, but she should be back soon.
A4UuKRX.png


Massive win for the Suns, but that's not too big of a surprise looking at those teams. Those Minnesota injuries aren't bit part players. Meanwhile, the Spurs are trying out the revolutionary 3 Center Strategy.



DwHGDuQ.png


A performance worthy of the playoffs from Heine. Lil' V.O. does his best, but the Clippers roll over the Kings in game 1.





js0iepe.png


Not a game Pepper Bailly will look back on with fondness! 2-0 to Boston.



Jc2mlNU.png


I guess Dan II was the one with more in his bag, as he drops a super efficient 30 points.



QWkChoP.png


Oof, reelworld II is not having the best time here.



OgUsh93.png


Another decent performance from Nobbers, but this one was quite a bit closer than game 1. Still, 2-0 is 2-0.
Itce4Mp.png


Sonius is playing really well so far! Dr. Junior with more fouls than points, and that's not going to win any sort of playoff game.



9gCZuCz.png


Heine with... 0 points? At least he still contributed offensively with his passing, and defensively with his everything else.



kjlyMpU.png


Much better from Lil' V.O., but it's not enough! The Clippers ran away with the 4th quarter.



5d7sWzw.png


Better from the Timberwolves, particularly old man Stobzilla II, but there are some seriously strong performances on that Suns team. That's a stupid starting 5.


EX0oNa5.png


Pepper Bailly avoids the 0 point performance, but the 6-1 ratio of fouls to points is still... not ideal.



xjBdrsX.png


weeweetee's strong showing is marred by a late game injury. Luckily for the Pistons, Dan II can't quite follow up his last scoring performance.



OudnuIb.png


An overtime win, and the Knicks are back up in the series!



HbMOHVg.png


No defending allowed.
dwr1LW6.png


This just isn't fair.



6gxMGRJ.png


A very close one, but the end result is still a 3-0 series lead for the Spurs! It's like I'm back in the old days. Skizzlet and Sonius both did their part this time. So did Dr. Junior, actually, it just wasn't enough.



fp8AP5M.png


Sweep, anyone?



dYW8sX0.png


Very strong from Lil' V.O., but the Clippers are just too strong! I guess they won those recent rings for a reason.

xM3kTOj.png


The sweep is in! The Phoenix Suns proved too strong for the Minnesota Timberwolves, as expected. It certainly didn't help that Minnesota suffered such a gluttony of injuries. And we are talking about the 8-seed here - so maybe this shouldn't be too much of a disappointment.



WFzuiCJ.png


And another sweep! Dr. Junior did what he could do stop it, getting a quite efficient 22 points, but when some kid named Carlton Carrington drops 38 on you, you know you weren't meant to win. Skizzlet and Sonius are off to another 2nd Round, their first together.



bCPC1TX.png


The Mavs reject the sweep! Heine plays pretty well, but there were plenty of solid performances from Dallas to stop the humiliation. Jalen Green's 32 points in 27 minutes is quite impressive.



t5NHSq9.png


The sweep train won't stop! Again the resident Cafite, here Lil' V.O., did what he could, but again it proved insufficient in the face of a much stronger team. The Kings got very close to taking game 4, though.



H9aZspg.png


No sweep for you! Pepper Bailly with a meagre 5 points, but somehow simultaneously a team high +/- of 21 in a 7-point game.



h4IYmPo.png


The Pistons take a commanding lead! A hobbled weeweetee provided a very healthy 24/9/8.



AECb9JE.png


The Raptors even the score! Two Nil and reelworld II both have pretty decent games, as does most of the New York starting five, but Toronto somehow still take a relatively easy victory. It's a bit of a head scratcher.



faxlmZj.png


3-1 lead to the Nets! BenitwoSTARRLET is back at a very reduced capacity, and provide fouls, blocks and points - in that order. Nobbers with a pretty good game, but it was more than enough to beat the Bulls in this case.

m2tyADD.png


How often does a 15-point win come from overtime?



DOuauLI.png


The Celtics win, as expected, but at least the Bucks avoid the sweep! You can't say that Pepper Bailly had spectacular playoffs, but he did his part. This one comes down to a simple team difference.



olZ9kLB.png


21 from Dan II, and this one isn't done yet!



d5De5js.png


The Raptors have turned the series around! Again reelworld II and Two Nil have good performances, but again Toronto somehow don't care.



SbjwDZg.png


The Nets are through to the 2nd Round, as expected. New signing Bones Hyland is proving an asset.

iq9e1TV.png


Heine and the Oklahoma City Thunder are victorious!



jNh9Wfs.png


Good scoring from all the Philadelphia starters, but when the Pistons have bench players providing 20 and 14 points in 16 minutes each... yeah, that's a problem. Dan II and weeweetee have both had a good Round 1, but the former's journey ends here, while the latter's has only just begun. Maybe.



fgmxxMg.png


Now here's the upset of the round! On paper the Knicks were the smallest of favourites, finishing with only a single win more than the Raptors in the regular season. I still thought they'd win, though.

Baylor just isn't going to get good enough to help carry this team before I fall off a cliff, is he? :(

@sebsheep @Solius @Skizzo @Heine @weetee @hobbers @BenitoSTARR



6NP4eWq.png


A low scoring game, but still a relatively comfortable win for the heavy favourites! Not the best games from either Skizzlet or Sonius. We know they've got a lot more in them. 12 turnovers from Michael Jordan, I'm not sure about this kid.



4wktUMG.png


The Clippers take the lead! Heine usually isn't much of a scorer, so he needs Scottie Barnes or G.G. Jackson to go off for more than 26 points here. Particularly if they Clippers are going to have 4 bench players with double digits.



TetiGxH.png


The Celtics take game 1! weeweetee was on track for a very good game, going 16/11/4 in just 19 minutes. Let's hope the injury doesn't hinder him too much.



mRzabgu.png


Not an incredible game by any means, but the Nets take the lead!

4BQ8sAL.png


Same story as game 1, and the Suns get away with an even bigger victory. SebJr may be long past his starting days, but he's having quite efficient contributions from the bench.



LIp3k1N.png


Only 8 points from Heine, but Scottie Barnes with 41!



rDEtd6d.png


The Detroit Pistons scored 69 points. In a playoff game. That's... not ideal.



ujfxzjG.png


Another comfortable win for the Nets, despite the minor injury to Keyonte George. Nothing more than a serviceable performance from Nobbers, but it was enough. Particularly when BenitwoSTARRLET goes off for 19 points from the bench.

H396ao0.png


Better from Sonius, but the Pistons have so far been unable to activate both him and Skizzlet at the same time, and they're most definitely going to need both to have any chance at all of beating the Phoenix Suns.



yijaZJJ.png


Another easy win for the Thunder. Have they cracked the code, then?



TG5HImK.png


This is an improvement from Detroit, but it's still not enough to beat Boston. Clearly the injury is having some effect on weeweetee.



eQr5kqU.png


No defence allowed here! Funnily Nobbers goes 7-11 from 3 while BenitwoSTARRLET only goes 2-7, but when they're in the 3 Point Contest it's the opposite.

dKlZ6d7.png


The sweep is in! Not a big surprise, to be honest. The Spurs would have to have monster games from both Skizzlet and Sonius, and even then it's unlikely they'd actually beat the Suns in a full series. There's just too much quality there for a 47-win team to overcome.



4hNXhRL.png


There's only one point in it, but that's 3-1 for the Thunder! Heine decided he needed to score big this time, and he wasn't wrong. 44 GameScore is very good indeed.



RCZroBU.png


Another sweep. I would have expected the Pistons to take at least one game, but having their superstar injured so early on was clearly a big problem.



U1FjA9p.png


Nobbers with 30 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. BenitwoSTARRLET actually had a negative contribution as well, if we can trust +/-. I'm not sure I believe it, given she had 7 blocks and no turnovers, but hey. A win's a win.

9yr9n9K.png


The Clippers strike back!



qHDo6Gj.png


The Nets are through to the Conference Finals!

H1Ilm6p.png


As are the Thunder! Not a single bad performance from the OKC starting 5 this game.



There are clear favourites here, but I wouldn't be shocked if Brooklyn beat Boston. I'd be a bit shocked if Oklahoma City beat the absolute constellation that is the Phoenix Suns, but if Heine and Scottie Barnes go off... well, anything is possible.

OU25ZnT.png


The Suns take game 1, as expected, but it was only 10-point game in the end. That's not impossible to overcome, surely? Although that came with Heine having a good game, and Frank Jackson popping up with 22 points from the bench.



pmE6qCS.png


If the other was surprisingly close at 10 points, this one was surprisingly not close at 30 points. What happened with the Nets here? Shooting specialist BenitwoSTARRLET ending up with 0 points is not ideal, but it's not like Nobbers lit up the sky either.

I8TVfCq.png


Well, game 2 was closer than game 1, at least? Assist king SebJr with 3 assists in 7 minutes. If he had played the full game he would have had 21 assists, and I refuse to concede any part of that logic.

Scottie Barnes with the cool 8 turnovers. Although Dennis Schröder's 6 in 16 minutes is way worse.



At8qkrr.png


From 30 points to 6 points, and this time in the right direction! Nobbers leading the way with 29/11/10, and much better shooting from BenitwoSTARRLET.

iZH9v4S.png


Yeesh. If Heine and Scottie Barnes are going to contribute a total of 32 points, the Thunder don't have a snowball's chance in hell at beating the Michael Jackson SebJr Suns. Except... yeah they won.



gJ32oj3.png


Another 6-point game, but this time it's back in Boston's favour after an Elton Brand masterclass.

cQKxTHb.png


Disaster for the Thunder, as Heine goes off with an admittedly minor injury in the third quarter. They were doing fine up until then. This series is in imminent danger of ending.



30Gk1w2.png


Nobbers does what he can, but it's not a good sign when BenitwoSTARRLET has the 2nd highest GameScore on the team, when she starts on the bench. It's an even worse sign that the third highest, and completing the trio of players with at least 10 GmSc, is Killian Hayes even further down the starting five.

zLCxAIR.png


The Suns take the series! The final series scoreline is 4-1, but it's been far from the domination that one could have expected from that. This particular game is a good example of that, as the Oklahoma City Thunder nearly completed a 4th quarter comeback. Admittedly that near-comeback was fuelled by some pretty horrendous shooting from Phoenix, which is a good sign for whoever ends up facing them in the NBA Final.



JdlXCy1.png


The Nets aren't done yet! Nobbers does his part again, but the true starlet of the show is BenitwoSTARRLET, who turns back the clock and finishes with an efficient 21/7/10, with five blocks!

wRt1MIj.png


Yet more good games from Nobbers and BenitwoSTARRLET, but the supporting cast just isn't up to snuff (with the possible exception of Bones Hyland, who drops 33 points himself). The Boston Celtics will represent the East in the NBA Final!



It's a rematch! And again there are no is only one Cafites involved. SAD (but not too sad because SebJr is there, obviously)

NBA Final

XAJ9rzk.png


The Celtics take game 1 - that's unexpected! Great games from players on both sides, but it's Wilt and Caleb Foster who ultimately win it for their team.

Jo0jTmZ.png


1-1! 32 points from Michael Jordan, 25 from Joshua Primo and 23 from Wembanyama. And 3 from SebJr.

bSneKzY.png


And easy one for the Suns, and they've turned it around! Wembanyama with a wonderful 45/16/1, with 3 steals and 7 blocks.

gE5rD31.png


Back to square one! Lots of mediocre performances on both sides, with Wilt the only one over (or anywhere near) 20 GameScore.

gbh7Zel.png


9 points and 5 assists from SebJr, in 14 minutes! The old man still has it. Kareem also has it, as he drops 31 points (and 6 fouls) on the Celtics.

HGrql3U.png


We've got a new Cafite champion! SebJr was brought to the Suns for his experience, and he's proven it by getting minutes throughout the playoffs and all through the NBA Final! Wembanyama has another great game, and he's showing why the Suns trading away lots of depth to get him was maybe not such a bad move.
