Gaming The RedCafe NBA Simulation 34/35 | Season Review + Draft | This will never end (FALSE) | BasketballGM

Just a very quick regular season update, the ~25 game mark (since I am already doing one for the trade deadline and the all star weekend anyway)

My meta game is awesome though. But my really big pay check also hinders Seattle to bring in a top guy who can actually score (or defend) and not just be a catalyst for your progress.

Imagine me getting paid so much more than you! :lol:

Oh I wouldn't worry about that, you guys are so far above the salary cap that you're never signing a star again until the entire team is broken up. The best you can do is keep re-signing your current players and get cheap veterans.

The GF means the player can play both guard positions and both forward positions. So what they don't have in the starting line-up is actually a Center.

Do they have a hammer?

03/04 Trade Deadline Update
Trade Deadline

First a standings update for you all to agonize over. New York is doing surprisingly poorly, as is Sacramento. Are we really going to not have Benito 'The Little Hammer' STARR or alto 'is it altod evil or alto devil' devil in the playoffs? Right now onenil 'Florida Man' tothearsenal looks more likely to be missing, and the Cleveland boys are surprisingly far behind too.

There are definitely more trades after I upped a value in the settings. You guys still haven't been directly involved, but some of your clubs made some big moves all the same. Don't put too much stock into the WS (Win Share) if there are many players involved. If you trade away 3 mediocre players for 1 good, the three might generate the same amount of WS, but they take up 3 playing spots to do it.

@Solius, @The Cat, @weetee & @Samid

@Stobzilla, @P-Nut & Samid: I can't tell who is trying to tank (be bad for a high draft pick) with these trades. Both the Grizzlies and the Rockets?

@Dr. Dwayne - trading away your star for worse players and picks? The Nuggets aren't playing to win.

@altodevil - all that for one player, he better be worth it.

So we get a shot at Top 10 picks in two fairly decent draft years AND I should now be getting more touches with Kobe gone?

Stobz might be on the re-up in Memphis.
 
03/04 All Star Weekend
All Star Weekend

Slam Dunk Contest

You guys just didn't generally make dunkers, so this is one competition you're not dominating. @BenitoSTARR is in it again this year, but he couldn't beat out the dunk king Vince Carter.

xziUOdE.png


3-Point Contest

Again heavy Cafite participating, though less than last year. @V.O. is officially out injured for the all-star weekend, so you won't see him in the game either. That means we're left with @BenitoSTARR, @Samid, @P-Nut and @Solius.

PQv4zNm.png



1st Round (4 advance)

Tim Thomas: 20
Kyle Korver: 28
Chauncey Billups: 23
Jason Williams: 18

DvEA5E8.png



Samid needs one of the remaining two to shoot 24 or less if he wants to go through.

J8vBrJq.png


P-Nut is through with 26.

8S64Xfk.png


Solius is through with 25 too - that means Samid is out.

2nd Round (2 advance)
Kyle Korver: 25


oDDo5Du.png


P-Nut with 25, that means we'll have a tiebreak round unless both BenitoSTARR and Solius beat it or both don't beat it.

DZ0Ej9M.png


Good shooting by BenitoSTARR. Solius needs 25 or more now.

UnkSGQO.png


And wouldn't you know it, it's the same final round as the four previous contests. Solius against BenitoSTARR monopolizing the contest, though they aren't actually the two players who shoot the most 3-pointers.

Final Round
Iq2XVrj.png


Bad start by BenitoSTARR. Is he going to let Solius win three times in a row?

12FFSIA.png


He is, and he does! Only a single instance of a Cafite scoring more than 26 this time, that's surprisingly low. This really was up for grabs, but in the end the same old guys had the grabbiest hands.

All Star Game

Teams:

@BenitoSTARR, @oneniltothearsenal and @reelworld returning for the East.

aQmP0CY.png


Cafites make up nearly the entire starting 5 this time. @hobbers, @Solius, @altodevil and @P-Nut, with @Dan just happy to be included.

nogBFPz.png


@V.O. and @Dr. Dwayne out injured, sadly.

All Star Game

And the East wins!

All star game in the 2nd year. We're looking to dominate soon!
 
2004 Playoff Bracket
2004 Playoff Bracket

Quite a tale of two different RedCafes this year. Disappointment in the East, quite the opposite in the West (maybe except if your name is altodevil)

East: @BenitoSTARR is the only one who makes it, and barely at that! A 2-8 losing streak is not a particularly good sign. @Salt Bailly and @oneniltothearsenal miss out by just one game, while @reelworld was far from it. @Skizzo and @V.O. are probably the biggest disappointment, going back to the old Cleveland ways instead of getting back into the playoffs as expected. I'm rather disappointed in you easterners.

West: The only one who didn't make it in the west was @sebsheep, but he wasn't expected to either. That said, in the end even the worst record in the West was only wins away from making the playoffs (which also means that Salt Bailly and oneniltothearsenal would have made the playoffs if they were in the West). @Dan and @Samid are surprisingly in, as the 4th (!) and 8th seed. The rest were expected, though @altodevil might be disappointed that the reigning NBA Champions only barely made the playoffs. @P-Nut, @Stobzilla, @Dr. Dwayne, @hobbers, @weetee, @Solius and @The Cat will all duke it out in the playoffs. There's bound to be heartbreak.

Carrying the side again. Bulls will eliminate us but I’ll have a word with their coach to see if he fancies a new signing.
 
64 - 18 in the regular season. Got to be favourites again surely. Last dance for this team?

You went 17-0 in your Division (you, Portland, Golden State, Sacramento, Los Angeles (x2) and Phoenix). I'm not entirely sure about the significance of divisions - I think they may just be teams you play a bit more than the others? It's a weird system.
 
Bum ass team. Terrible coaching and facilities. Joke of a front office trading away our championship core and future picks for one player. But annoyed my player mentality is meant to be winning and yet chased the money.
 
Alto constantly moping around the locker room drags team morale down..who‘d have thought.

I‘m printing that out and hang it on the wall - show my fam what‘s happening in real life.

Let‘s crush ’em all. Still time for a wee legacy at least.
