Oof I think first time I’ve not been in the list for point scoring.

Rockets not winning 70 is shocking
You're in these two though:
No thanks to you guys, who gave them 3 wins and only 1 loss. The Warriors went 3-0 against them though.
Well, that’s not surprising since I was injured for a couple of games as was lilVO. Hope we stay healthy in the play-offs.
Would be hilarious if old man hobbers wins his first title and can‘t even brag about it.

I should add that @reelworld was out with a fractured foot for 27 games, so making the playoffs at all with the Bucks is a pretty good job.
Holy shit, I'm on the big boy tables 
yeah, I notice that when I see I only played 52 games. But hopefully signs of the team quality improvement that they can hold on without me
Houston looking downright scary. This might be their year. We might even have Wizards knocked out early considering that injury on KD...
Looks like we have had some injuries during the season. Nobbers 60 games, I had 68 games. So missed some. Hopefully we are all ready to give Rockets a fight in the playoffs and reach our third final. Hopefully take our second ring before we might get broken up on our wage demands :/

Yeah, if Houston didn't win it all they might as well retired

Emotional return to LA for me.
That Houston team is broken though. No doubt way better than the Lakers dynasty team. Different era's though.

They have the highest MOV (margin of victory) since we started, beating out your Spurs team from last year and your Lakers team from 2011 in joint 2nd. But they haven't shown themselves to be a playoff team yet.
We‘re extra motivated against Utah. At least I am. Going to be a bloodbath.
You have the five best players in that series, so you should crush them.
Didn't realise Utah had Derrick Rose - he's has fallen off a cliff since carrying Big V.O. to his ring, and he's just 30.
That'll do, pig. Time to move over.

The worst starter on Rockets are as good or better than the best player on 3 other playoff teams...
2018 Playoffs - 1st Round
2018 Playoffs 1st Round
All the favourites win! reelworld II must be having a LeBron moment, losing by one point despite putting up 48/5/15. Dan II with 28 points in 21 minutes.
2-0 to all the favourites. This could be the quickest Round 1 ever. Nobbers puts up an incredible 54 points, and Dan II suffers a slight injury.
76ers strike back! Otherwise it's all the same. The favourites are too strong, I tell you.
Grizzlies get one back! sontodevil decided he isn't getting swept for the third playoffs in a row. We have to say good bye to Dan II and reelworld II, however. Both played about as well as could be expected (and sometimes better), but their teams weren't quite up to it.
The Cavs close it out against the 76ers, but the Grizzlies refuse to give up!
We're going to game 7!
Heartbreak! We all know it would have probably ended in defeat in the next round anyway, versus the Spurs, but sontodevil would surely have liked to have the chance to beat his old man, at least.
Only three Cafite-teams left, but those teams have a total of 9 Cafites on them. I fully expect Houston and San Antonio to meet in the Conference Finals (though Phoenix have a very deep team), but Toronto might be difficult for the Cleveland boys on the other side of the bracket. They'll need a vintage BenitoSTARR performance.

And the tags which I forgot: @BenitoSTARR @Dan @Dr. Dwayne @Solius @V.O. @altodevil @hobbers @reelworld@weetee @Heine
I just realized I tagged everyone, not just the ones in the playoffs. I doubt editing out tags does anything, since editing them in does nothing.
All set for a Houston - SA decider for the final.
Finally some playoff revenge against the Jazz
Houston will sweep and gift hobbers a token ring before retirement.
sontodevil taking the 3rd best team in the league to 7 games is otherworldly.

Nope, just got my hopes up slightly only to be dashed
That is Rockets problem, they have hobbers… He can’t win a ring. We have this guys!

2nd Round
Easy victories for all the favourites - except Washington, who have been struck by injuries.
Dr. Junior and BenitoSTARR got very close to evening it up, but alas it's 0-2.
Another pretty close game for Cleveland. Houston drop their first game, so the prohibitive favourites won't sweep.
That's the end of the playoffs for the Cleveland lads. Dr. Junior and BenitoSTARR are on an improving team, so there's every chance they'll be back next year. Spurs drop their first game as well.
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?

@weetee @V.O. @hobbers @Heine @Solius @altodevil
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.
