Aside from my own stats falling off a cliff... the team looks pretty well rounded.

Maybe this is the year I finally win an actual playoff game. :drool:
 
Think I got depressed when kicked outta Seattle. Should have seeked psychological assistance - now dragging down my teammates too. At least the pay is good.

<- 63.8 GameScore, which is the highest recorded by anyone in this game so far. By like a lot. Also would be the 3rd highest in the NBA ever (since they started recording it), according to basketball-reference.com.

08/09 25-ish Update

@Samid continues his journey across the league, this time he's heading to California! Well, for the second time, given his stint with the Lakers earlier. That's now 7 different teams for Samid, on 8 different occasions.

@Dan's on the move too! He's off to the Rockets, who are trading away a significantly younger but significantly worse player.

You're a bit depressed, but there is light at the end of the tunnel: your contract is expiring. Also you're getting older, so potentially you'll be cheaper than your younger (but not that much better) self.
It’s the musk.

@altodevil (LAL) @Salt Bailly (DET) - just what the Lakers needed, more good players.

@Salt Bailly (DET) @V.O. (NJ) - Deron comes in

@V.O. (NJ) @Skizzo (OKC) - Deron goes out (you can't explain that

)

@Solius @reelworld (ORL) - not the move of a team with ambitions on second thought, getting rid of a PG might not be a bad idea when Solius and reelworld are both PGs themselves.

Joke is my motivations were fame and winning
Same as me. I secretly suspect the fame attr. being a bit broken hence being happy with mediocre teams as long as you‘re the most famous player there.

But I mentally retired long ago.
 
Wow, Minnesota made 7 out of 11 finals. Some run.

@BenitoSTARR can't quite replicate his 2005 win, though this time he did make it to the final only to be beaten by LeBron.

Great shooting from Samid, but sadly that means The Cat is out.

30 from P-Nut means Solius needs at least 26.

Solius is out in the first round - what an upset!

BenitoSTARR joins P-Nut, Samid and Kyle Korver in the 2nd Round, but this means reelworld is out.

2nd Round - 2 advance

Now P-Nut and BenitoSTARR need to shoot at least 28 to have a chance.

P-Nut is out!

So is BenitoSTARR! It's Samid vs the Destroyer of Cafites, Kyle Korver.


Final Round

Kyle Korver: 26

Kyle Korver has done it again! He seems to have the Caf's number, though Samid did very well to get this far for the first time.

Final Regular Season Table

Made the playoffs: @altodevil, @Stobzilla @P-Nut @oneniltothearsenal and @The Cat in the West. @Solius, @reelworld, @Salt Bailly and @BenitoSTARR in the East. No huge upsets, though Solius and reelworld managed a significantly higher seed than expected. It should also be noted that P-Nut's Grizzlies are on a terrible run of form, despite making it.

Missed the playoffs: @Samid, @Dr. Dwayne, @Dan and @Skizzo from the West. @hobbers, @V.O., @weetee and @sebsheep from the East. Several upsets, most notably V.O.'s Nets, who were tipped to finish 3rd. hobbers... well, no need to trigger his PTSD. Safe to say he probably won't be renewing his contract this off-season. Samid's Warriors were also expected to barely make it.
