2019 Playoffs 2nd Round

Are we looking at three quick sweeps?
I guess not! The absence of Nobbers is clearly felt in San Antonio.
Dan II is eliminated, though he did what he could. The 76ers just weren't going to beat the Celtics.
Very surprisingly, the Nuggets are now in the lead! This is the most difficulty the Spurs have had in the playoffs before the Final since before the current iteration. The Rockets put away the Suns, and get to take a few days off.
Nobbers is back, and even hobbled he's still putting up numbers.
Well! Very predictably we're going to have the Houston Rockets against the San Antonio Spurs in the final, though we came quite close to having the Denver Nuggets in there instead of the Spurs. Also, Sonius getting injured in the last match makes for a very intriguing series, I'm sure. 12 games means he'll miss the series even if it goes to 7. Nobbers is also still playing with a minor injury, which he already re-aggravated earlier this series.
In the East it's also 1-seed versus 2-seed. Kevin Durant wasn't as dominant in the 2nd Round as he was in the 1st (no 60-bombs), but my money is still on the Wizards to make the NBA Final.

Please tear up reelworld II contract @nimic
Consider it torn
Injuries. Yawn.

@nimic anybody else made 2776 pts in one game before?
IIRC spurs first title was secured when I got injured, still favorites too now but top whining.
Thank feck for Nobbers
Trying to take us out with dirty tricks…
Kinda realistic if we start getting mote injuries. Only Wizards have played as many games the last season

2019 Playoffs Conference Finals
@weetee @V.O. @hobbers @Heine @Solius @altodevil
It's the Spurs against the Rockets again! This is the third time they meet in the Conference Finals. The Spurs won both of the previous encounters, 4-2 in 2016 and 4-1 in 2018. They would have met in 2017 as well, but Houston were knocked out by Utah in the previous round.
On the other side of the brackets we have the Celtics and the Wizards. The Durant-led Wizards have in the past 4 NBA Finals, and we haven't seen a different team than than Washington and Boston representing the East since 2012 - when Lil' V.O.'s old man won his unexpected late career ring.
Disaster for the Spurs! Nobbers picked up back spasms early in the 2nd Round, and then re-aggravated it later in that same series. His (reduced) return was instrumental in them getting past the Nuggets in the end, but now he's re-aggravated the injury again. With Sonius already out for the entire series, this might be the nail in the coffin. The strength of the Spurs has always been the stupidly strong starting 5, but they're not particularly deep.
A 40 point (and 39 shot) game by Jamal Murray was not enough for the Spurs - the Rockets are in charge of this tie!
3-0! weeweetee and Lil' V.O. are taking turns being the best player on the team, but they are both consistently good. The Spurs are trying, but it's not enough. Though we're getting some vintage altodevil performances. I suspect that's why the games are as relatively close as they are. Well, some of them.
The sweep is complete! The Rockets will finally have the chance of fulfilling the promise of their talent. I'm almost positive that's a coherent sentence. Either way, we'll see the Houston boys in the NBA Final. Now the only question remains is who they'll face there. Right now all even between the Wizards and the Celtics, despite some great Durant performances.
We go to game 7!
It'll be Washington again, for the 5th season in a row (and their 9th in 12 seasons). He's had some absolute storming games these playoffs. He's averaging 42/11/9. Can weeweetee, Lil' V.O. and the other Rockets contain him?

Disgusting.
Spurs 
Seeing as we're apparently going around smashing kneecaps and taking scalpels to people's backs anyway, can we please just shoot Durant before the finals?

I will kill you.Taking it with grace, I see
I have 100 endurance and I'm the only player in the league to aggravate an injury while playing injured in playoff games, not once but twice. Sounds likely.
Are you suggesting it was a false flag injury?
"It's the endurance, lads."
Nice one. pity hobbers held us back last year.

Its a conspiracy! I dont know what to do now, not playing a final? Preposterous!
As far as I can tell, the following players want to use their "break contract" special ability:
- sontodevil
- reelworld II
- The Cub
I'll give you one last look at your teams, so you can decide if you really want to to do it. Consider their finances (salary cap is the new one, it increased a bit), their facilities (which do have an impact, you can go back to the season preview for that one), the age of your squad, etc. You'll have some egg on your face if your team suddenly improves a lot. The grass not always greener on the other side. Although sometimes it is. Statistically the grass is greener 50% of the time.

Just to add, reelworld II and sontodevil can do it without using their one time, if we're going by the "3 years at the same team" thing. The Cub chose very poorly, on the other hand.
So to recap:
- anyone can break their contract one time with their team, at any point.
- if you've spent at least 3 seasons on the same team, you can also leave. Let's call it Bosman 2.0.

Yeah, I'm still going. I think Bucks have enough chance to built a contender but failed to do so
Feel like I might be ready for that free break
The cub and sontodevil looks more alike than I remember them
Whoops, I'll fix it in a bit

Teams not bad, Jokic and Collins could be good.
But west is stacked and facilities mean the boys above may not improve.

First game goes to Houston! weeweetee with a great game, and the Rockets managed to contain Durant. Is this the recipe?
1-1! Rockets scored about as many points as game 1, but the big difference was in the Wizards' greatly improved scoring.
Washington take the lead! a 50-bomb by Durant, and getting 23 and 20 points out of C.J. Miles and Noah Vonleh couldn't quite compensate. weeweetee 1-9 from three, while Lil' V.O. had a very good game.
I can see the numbers right in front of me, but I'm still not sure how they add up. The Rockets got 20+ points out of 4 of their starters, with 14 for the last one. They also held Durant to "only" 30 points on 26 shots. And yet they lost?! The Washington bench made the difference here, it seems.
It's over! No matter how good the opposition, you just can't count Kevin Durant out. They gave him 19 free throws, and he made 18 of them. There was just too much fouling from Houston.

Serves you right.
If you were highly intelligent like me you'd figure out what multiple of 40 you were on before posting and bump it as necessary.
Your mum is a multiple of 40
feck sake. @V.O. I'm all out of ideas, guess we both need keep on improving til we're 99ers.
I can only think that it must take more than a year to fully get rid of @hobbers' Harry Kane-tier bad juju.
Maybe he signs with the Wizards.
I figured we should just shoot Durant, but your plan is much better.Maybe he signs with the Wizards.
