Teaser for the upcoming update:

 

[nimic]

Oof. Think this is the first time I won’t make the playoffs.

Your team is giving serious playing time to some seriously bad players.

Actually, I just got an idea for a fun stat. brb

 

[nimic]

Solius' lamentations gave me a stat idea, so here we go.

So does this confirm Alto is just shit?

 

[nimic]

So does this confirm Alto is just shit?

He's got the by far best record of any team this season, so I wouldn't say that.

 

[altodevil]

All it says is that I make my teammates better

 

[BenitoSTARR]

He's got the by far best record of any team this season, so I wouldn't say that.

Why can’t you just agree?

Why can’t you just agree?

I only agree with Solius and sometimes rimaldo.

You've agreed with me, twice.

07/08 All Star Weekend

First, the updated standings. The @altodevil Lakers are still looking extremely strong in the West, currently on a 15 win streak. @The Cat's Timberwolves are looking quite good as well, though getting past the Lakers might be a bridge too far this year. In the East @hobbers and the Bobcats are looking significantly stronger than previous seasons. His challenge will be that there are loads of good teams in the East; 1-6 in the East would all have been 2nd in the West. The playoffs are beginning to look out of reach for @Skizzo's Supersonics, @oneniltothearsenal's Heat, @Dr. Dwayne's Pacers @Stobzilla's Spurs and @Samid's Cavaliers. Everyone else is in with a shout of making it.

Dunk Contest - no surprises

3 Point Contest - familiar faces in @reelworld, @P-Nut, @Samid, @V.O., @Solius and @BenitoSTARR.

1st Round - 4 advance

Kyle Korver: 26
Beno Udrih: 24

Spoiler: reelworld

22 is probably not enough for reelworld.

Spoiler: P-nut

Spoiler: Samid

Spoiler: V.O.

V.O. now needs neither of Solius/BenitoSTARR to score higher than 24, and thus force a tiebreak at 24.

Spoiler: Solius

V.O. is out! BenitoSTARR needs at least 25.

Spoiler

That means a tiebreak round for Solius and P-Nut. Solius really loves his tiebreak rounds.

Spoiler: Tiebreak Solius

Spoiler: P-Nut

It'll be Solius, Samid, BenitoSTARR and Kyle Korver in the 2nd Round. Kyle Korver has defeated a bunch of Cafites before, is he going to do it again?

2nd Round - 2 advance

Spoiler

Kyle Korver: 29

Pressure is on for our lads!

Spoiler: BenitoSTARR

Spoiler: Samid

25 isn't enough for Samid! Is it going to be BenitoSTARR or Solius to face Kyle 'Kafite Killer' Korver in the final round?

Spoiler: Solius

It's Solius!

Final Round

Spoiler

Kyle Korver: 24

Not great shooting by Korver, Solius has already bettered that three times today! Is he going to tie BenitoSTARR's 4 contest wins?

Spoiler: Solius

No! What a low-scoring final round. That means Kyle Korver has won the contest twice in the Cafite Era.

All Star Game

Record low Cafite participation in the West, probably because most of you are in the East. The one big surprise absence is perhaps The Cat, who has been making an appearance the last few years (in both this and the NBA Final). @P-Nut and @altodevil are the repeats.

It's a different story in the East, and here's another good indication of the relative strength levels of the conferences this year. There are three players with ratings in the 60s on the East, while it's most of the team in the West. The East Cafites are @BenitoSTARR, @hobbers, @Solius, @oneniltothearsenal, @Samid, @Dr. Dwayne and @V.O..

Great updates

 

[sebsheep]

Nice to see my old team now above my new team. Standard.

Ffs I think my time is over. Maybe my son needs to be born.

You top 4 guys are pretty fragile. Oh no, I didn't make the 2nd Round of the playoffs once, my life is over.

You're only 28.

 

[altodevil]

Speak for yourselves. I won a ring and now I chill in LA racking up records that will never be broken and playing with other chill guys like Nene.

Did someone say rings?

Basically 29.

My guy will probably be in his 60s by the time he drops below 60 rating.

Has there ever been a father and son in the NBA at the same time.

Nope, he's playing.

07/08 End of Regular Season + Playoff bracket

Final standings

No big surprises in the West, with @altodevil's Lakers, @The Cat's Timberwolves and @P-Nut's Grizzlies making it. The Lakers set a new regular season record with 75-7. Scary. @Stobzilla and @Skizzo were some distance away, but then they were expected to be.

In the East, we've got one Cafite making it who wasn't expected to (@Dan with the Bucks) and one who was expected to make it but didn't (@Samid and the Cavs). Other than that, the most disappointed Cafite is probably @weetee, who didn't make the playoffs with the Hawks' 41-41 record, which would have easily been enough in the West. @Solius & @reelworld might be disappointed to miss it with the Magic (given their playoff record), while @Dr. Dwayne and @oneniltothearsenal shouldn't have expected to make it in the first place.

We've got several making it in the East (@hobbers with the Bobcats, @Salt Bailly with the Pistons, @BenitoSTARR & @sebsheep with the Knicks and @V.O. with the Nets), but they're all on pretty good teams so there's no predicting their playoff results.

You're good, but I might be more impressed with oneniltothearsenal adding 20 wins in a 29-win team.

I guess you're not that far off.

Estimate all you want, I'm all about real wins baby.

@sebsheep let me know if you want to retire and let a younger generation take over next season. And also design that younger generation.
