Impressive PE score for me only being a 67 overall at the moment. Hopefully that bodes well for further development even though I still have no idea what player efficiency means.

Both West juggernauts complete their sweeps! So does Utah, which means weetee and sontodevil are both out. Any other result was a long shot, in their defense.

Cafites are doing really well so far these playoffs! The Nuggets, Cavs and Celtics all win 4-1. Though Two Nil had a great match himself, and honestly the 4-1 scoreline disguises a series full of close games. If my math doesnt fail me, the total series score is 548-548!

The final Cafite wins as well, and that means reelworld II has now officially doubled his playoff experience - and is guaranteed to do more than that!

2nd Round

EbuYGFt.png


Two Cafite v Cafite match-ups. I do think the Celtics and the Spurs will win, but those games are both capable of the "what just happened?" moments. I wish I could say the same for Dr. Junior's chances against Kevin Durant's Wizards, but I fear that's a 4-0 sweep in waiting. The final match might also be a sweep, but Utah have proven that they can beat the odds before. I think Lil' V.O and weeweetee might be in for a fight.
 
28 point average winning margin over the Memphis Teddy Bears
 
We seem to have a crazy defence…. Though I guess it helps when the star of the opposing team got Nunez level finishing
 
First time in years I'm not a high scorer, and the team looks miles better. I'm guessing I'm not playing anywhere near as many minutes
 
We should use our deep squad to foul nobbers every time he gets the ball. Like Chi played against shaq back in the day. Hope our ai manager is smart enough (no disrespect coach). Also Klay needs his a-game.

But first Utah, we‘ll avenge you father.

34.4 minutes per game instead of 39-40 minutes per game, so not a huge difference. The biggest difference is that Joel Embiid is doing a lot of the scoring, and also now BenitwoSTARRLET.

The first and only sweep is in, as Nobbers leads spurs with a 50-point performance. P-Nut and BenitwoSTARRLET did well to get to the 2nd Round, but they were really up against it here.

We could have a Cafite v Cafite final, or we could have no Cafites at all. Most likely we'll have a replay of last year's final, though it's worth nothing that Dr. Junior and Cleveland did have several very close games with Washington. Utah have also beaten expectations before - like literally just now.

Always suspected Biyombo was the most important player in Houston....

Hoped for a rematch against Rockets as I feel they are our rivals, but they will just have to do better next year. Time to beat Utah!

You have the wrong pic after game 5
 
Gotta respect Utah.
Spurs already annoying one year in.
 
I am so excited to be 43 overall and sitting at the end of the bench picking up rings for free lma.o
 
Utah should be in over their head here considering the spread and overall difference… But they’ve made upsets before

As long as we don’t underestimate. No easy games innit.

It's a repeat of last year's final! Yet again we have the Spurs boys vs Kevin Durant and his Wizards. The Spurs are 12-0 so far in the playoffs, while the Wizards are 12-2.

NBA Final

First blood goes to Washington! A monster game by Durant, while the two injured Spurs starters struggled. It was close, though!

QYoxkc5.png


It's tied up! Kevin Durant was completely neutralized. Does this show the path?

o1zXNSZ.png


If Kevin Durant gets to take 30 shots, you might be in trouble. Even when he misses 17 of them.

XHhBjIJ.png


Suddenly it's 3-1 to the Wizards! Nobbers keeps putting up huge numbers, but the Spurs as a team are missing quite a lot of shots as well.

Dynasty
. I'll be honest, I was convincing myself that the Spurs would win at least the next 4-5 rings. But apparently you can't count Kevin Durant out. Or Bradley "45 points" Beal. And if they can do it, maybe the Rockets can do it, or the Celtics - or someone else. The league just got interesting!

Nobbers consistently put up big numbers this series, and was the best Spurs performer in 4 out of 5 games. His efficiency is the only point against him. Heine was very efficient, on the other hand, and generally played quite well - with one very notable exception. Sonius was hampered in the early games by his niggling injury, but came back with a great game 5. altodevil is hard to judge, since he's never been primarily a box score player, but he'll be disappointed by the relative lack of rebounds, blocks and steals in some games. He can hardly be blamed for the loss, though.

Gentleman's sweep.

And as we all know from current NBA discourse, losing in the final is worse than missing the playoffs or going out in any round before the finals.
