Final standings
We haven't had this many in the playoffs from the East in years. Lil-Nut might be bitter to see his former teammate make the playoffs with his new team, but he's the one with time on his side. Skizzo is still improving, and apparently he needs to improve a bit more before. He's a great dunker, though, so that's something.
Dr. Junior and Dan II both made it comfortably, despite being "just" above the threshold. There really isn't that much separating their 76ers and Cavaliers from the teams above. SebJr got traded into a potential Finals run. Durant isn't quite what he was, and nor are the Wizards, but they were the clear underdogs last year and that didn't stop them. At the top of the East we find the newest superteam (?), the Knicks. reelworld II, Two Nil and Stobzilla II are all children of players who didn't see much playoff success. Maybe they feel like they have something to prove?
Oh Solius. You were on a really bad team, then last season that team was merely pretty bad, and now that team is still pretty bad but you signed for an even worse team. In fact, this Kings team is the worst team on record - by MOV, though not... you know, record. Above them you've got BenitwoSTARRLET, you for some reason decided to leave a good team and join Solius' previous bad team. Though it's possible the team she left wasn't going to be all that good anyway, as P-Nut and the Nuggets just barely missed the play-in-tournament. The late push was too little, too late.
hobbers did make the play-in with the Warriors, though with a less than impressive record and less than impressive form. The 8th seed (after the play-in) means he'll face his lad Nobbers in the play-in, along with Heine, Sonius, altodevil and all the other Spurs players. They're supposedly the best team ever, this time both by MOV and record. Though as I've mentioned before, the previously best 4 teams all failed to win the championship. They're also so top-heavy that a few injuries might prove disastrous (again).
Certainly that is what weeweetee and Lil' V.O. are hoping for. Their final record is very good, though after a merely decent start to the season it took a 22-3 run to get there. They've not got the incredible records of the last few seasons, but then again they didn't eventually win the championship in any of them anyway, so maybe it's not such a big deal?
Finally, we've got two merely good teams, who will have to put up something special to have any chance at beating the top 2. First they will have to beat each other, though, as sontodevil, The Cub and BenitoSTARR's Grizzlies host Pepper Bailly's Timberwolves in the 1st Round. Minnesota's away record suggests that Memphis' home court advantage will prove decisive.

Thanks nimic. Any chance to see which team(s) won against Spurs in the regular season?
Starting the playoffs with some knocks I see :/
Ah great the sim has already decided to start warping space and time to give us all injuries again
Spurs clearly overmotivated + team facilities lacking. + the Curse of Hobbers of course
Oh yeah, forgot about those.
San Antonio Spurs:
Chicago Bulls:
Charlotte 95-89
Memphis 98-97 (with sontodevil out - and altodevil)
Minnesota 109-106 (with Pepper Bailly out)
those games are probably the ones like when Warriors are getting bored with winning so Kerr decide to give Draymond the clipboard and call playsOh yeah, forgot about those.
San Antonio Spurs:
Chicago Bulls:
Charlotte 95-89

One of those games we prolly tried something crazy like ask Alto to shoot or something

Some people haven't logged in since the last update, but they'll just have to try to read the last two in the right order. If they care. If they don't care I will injure their players, so help me god.

Yay!
I feel we are always up against Memphis

Not always. Only in 2020, 2019, 2017 and 2016. In 2018 they lost in the 1st Round, or it would have been the same.

I like my reduced role. My daughter is an idiot motivated by wining and joins the worst side.
Me at the Kings.

I'm afraid there's going to be a mid-playoffs break. At least I'm not leaving you on the NBA Final now. This time I'm leaving you on the Conference Finals.

Forgot to tag @Dr. Dwayne
And @sebsheep (can you tell I'm in the middle of packing?)
Sometimes the Bismarck sinks you. 
Oof. Bye Houston.
Perfect playoff run inc?
shite team building. Losing to Jazz and Phoenix despite being favorites is unacceptable. But spurs made the experiment pretty boring anyway.
If Knicks win this, it'll be fecking legendary. Got to run past Durant AND Spurs super team
Seb when he realises he's only 8 game wins from immortality =
Not Houston!?!? This feels strange
Easy mistake after that performance.
Feels like I'm carrying KD at the moment.
Let's go @reelworld and @Stobzilla! Finally a good playoff team for us, Durant is going down.

@hobbers @Heine @Solius @altodevil @reelworld @oneniltothearsenal @Stobzilla @sebsheep
No matter what happens, at least one Cafite will see the NBA Final for the first time. Kevin Durant and his Wizards have had such an iron grip on the East that none of reelworld II, Two Nil, Stobzilla II or SebJr have made it. None of the Knicks trio have made the Conference Finals before, for that matter. SebJr has, but was defeated by his current team.
Will the Spurs gang get to their 4th Final? Players grumble about them having broken the league, but they're still "only" sitting on two rings, for all their talent.
Preview
What a shocker, it's the Wizards vs the Spurs again. Although it's actually genuinely a little bit surprising to see Washington in the Final for once. hobbers' Boston teams get a lot of stick, but this is on paper the weakest Washington team in years. Though it should be pointed out that the SebJr trade happened fairly late in the season, so the regular season record might not be a reliable measure.
Can they beat the Spurs gang, though? I doubt it, but they've done it before!

Bah I hate Durant!
A lot of people have asked me if I'm the assist king. The answer is yes.
fecking hell Durant
That's six-time MVP Kevin Durant to you.
He is back! Now get on with it!
Still not GOAT though right?
