I cannot read any of that? I’m on mobile I have no idea what happened. But how the feck am I in a slam dunk contest with 19 dunk skill?
 
After this playoff run I dont want to sign with the Heat again. Jealous of the Caf partnerships so I want a team that wants the best all around player in the NBA

Round 2

Good start by our rookie, but is it enough to get into the final round?

@BenitoSTARR is a veritable veteran at this point, and 28 could well be enough to put him in his 4th straight final round.

@V.O. with the untimely misses, that means he's out. Now we only need to avoi-

I will cut you @Solius, I swear to god.

May @P-Nut have saved his final round appearance with that last set?

The first perfect shooting of the evening. I guess Solius has had a lot of practice today. That means it's - yet again - BenitoSTARR vs. Solius for the shooter crown.

Final Round

26 would be good for most, but it's the worst BenitoSTARR has shot today. Solius has shot 30, 28 twice, 27, 26 twice and 25, so who the feck knows what's going to happen.

And we have our second repeat winner! That makes two for Solius and two for BenitoSTARR out of the Cafites. Are the rest of you really going to let those two schmucks dominate this thing?

Final and full stats:

Okay, time for the All Star Game!

Let's take a look at the teams.

ZB3bniZ.png


@Solius, @altodevil, @Dr. Dwayne and @Stobzilla return for the West. @hobbers was selected but is still injured. Will Stobzilla get to play this time? Half the team plays his position. For the East we've got @BenitoSTARR, @V.O., @oneniltothearsenal and @reelworld, who gets his first all star appearance (the number to the right in the stats).

Finally, here's a sneak peak into what your teams are spending, and what they are spending on. Pay also attention to the "strategy" column, which indicates what your team is trying to accomplish. Someone should tell the Sacramento Kings that they currently lead the Western Conference.

That ankle has robbed me of a guaranteed all star mvp and first ring.
 
Robbed of ASMVP, and now I find out that secretly all along the Sacramento ownership has had us training in a rented warehouse, coached by a recovering alcoholic who played high school basketball 25 years ago.

This fictional world is built entirely to torment and waste altodevils life.

Woe. Woe is me.

It could always get worse. Who do you not want to face in the playoffs?
 
Oh don't worry, he'll be back before the playoffs. And just to make it more interesting, the Spurs are currently the 6 seed and dropping, while you guys are the 2 seed.

I've said too much.
Stats or it didn‘t happen.

just k. You‘re doing gods work here..
 
My guy obviously didn't fancy the 1000 tie breaks and dutifully bowed out. We'll be back.
 
2003 Playoff Bracket
2003 Playoff Bracket and Regular Season Standings

Okay, the regular season is over and it's time for another round of "which Cafite will win the NBA this time?" First, let's take a look at the regular season standings. I've added the Streak and Last 10 stats this time, so you can tell how close you were to making or not making the playoffs.

Eastern Conference

TziKMJg.png


Almost everyone who was predicted to make it, made it. The only exception is @reelworld with the Washington Wizards. In his defence, the East turned out to be quite strong this year, or at least very even. As expected, @BenitoSTARR made it with the Knicks, trailing the scary Bulls. @Dan's back in the playoffs with Philadelphia, 5 seasons in a row where his team weren't good enough. The 3-seed is quite surprising, but it's worth noting that the5 games separate the 3-seed and the 7-seed.

@oneniltothearsenal is back in the playoffs as well, as expected. His team is actually pretty decent, but are they strong enough to take down the top 2? Cleveland is also back in the playoffs, not having made it (or been particularly close) since @altodevil's first season at the team. Now the team belongs to @V.O. and his sidekick @Skizzo.

Western Conference

y6j1nV4.png


We've got a lot more missing out in the West, and a couple of them are quite surprising. @Samid missing out was expected, as the Rockets are very much a work in progress. @Stobzilla and @P-Nut also ended up in their expected 9th spot, though note that their record puts them one game behind a playoff spot. It's even worse for @sebsheep, with his Trailblazers only missing out on tiebreakers (:mad:). We've also got the Nuggets with @Salt Bailly and @Dr. Dwayne as low as 12th, though they were only two games from making it.

If you look at the L10 (last ten games) stat, you can identify what happened. Both the Golden State Warriors and the Spurs went 7-3 in their last 10, while all our close calls had losing records at the same time. That also means that the Spurs were definitely out of playoff contention before @hobbers came back and dragged them back in it. Other than that, both @altodevil's Sacramento and the Seattle trio of @weetee, @Solius and @The Cat made it, as expected.

That means that the bracket looks like this:

Seattle San Antonio will be a great series if hobbers is fit.
 
That’s worthy of a final and one of us will go out straight away.
 
Golden state warriors! They conceded about 80 points in the 1st half the other day and I'm pretty sure that's bad.

@BenitoSTARR, @altodevil and the trio of @Solius, @weetee and @The Cat are off to a very good start. @Dan and @oneniltothearsenal's teams seem evenly matched.

atl7i2e.png


@hobbers is on the verge of being eliminated, but @V.O. and @Skizzo have brought one back against the 2-seed Knicks.

DEDTQjK.png


That's the end of hobbers in the playoffs this year, but to be fair this season is a bit of a write-off for him considering the injury he suffered for most of it. He actually played pretty well, but the rest of his team just wasn't quite up to the challenge. In the East, the Cafite v Cafite match-ups are completely even at the moment.

Nj2tcrE.png


That's altodevil and the Sacramento Kings through, which shouldn't come as a big surprise. In the East, Miami and oneniltothearsenal have taken the lead against Dan's Philadelphia, as has BenitoSTARR's New York. Surely the 2-seed are going to put away the 7-seed Cleveland now?

G9B4yaE.png


Nope! V.O. and Skizzo are fighting back, and it's now 3-3. It would be a huge upset if they can defeat the recent 2-time champions. We already have a smaller upset in the East, as oneniltothearsenal has led the Heat to putting away Dan and the 76ers. Though the difference between the 3-seed and the 6-seed only amounted to 3 regular season wins, so they shouldn't feel too bad about it.

e2ucDbg.png


Huge upset averted. Still, under the circumstances this is an impressive return to the playoffs for Cleveland. Still, their journey ends here. We've got another Cafite match-up in the 2nd Round. Immediately you would think that the New York Knicks would be strong favourites, but then Miami did already defeat a "better" team, and the Knicks struggled to put away 7th seeded Cleveland. In the West we'll have to wait until the Conference Finals before we could get another Cafite match-up. Our two teams are the 1st and 2nd seeds so they should do it, but crazier upsets have happened.
 
Dreamed about this the other night..press conference with Alto having a vodka based drink sitting next to a huge ass chrome Smeg toaster. We also played ball I think but fortunately I forgot all about the faces. No hammers too.

2nd Round

No surprises so far.

LiZ7W1v.png


All Cafite games are going more or less as expected (sorry @oneniltothearsenal), but surprisingly the Chicago behemoth that I've been building up just dropped a game to Toronto.

UgMcpC3.png


And Chicago dropped another! The three other games all look like they could well end in sweeps. oneniltothearsenal has actually been playing very well so far, it's just that starting places 3 to 5 are all in BenitoSTARR and New York's favour.

G73pPNp.png


@altodevil and his Sacramento Kings have completed the 2nd Round sweep over the Phoenix Suns. The closest games was 97-84, which is also the one where Phoenix scored the most. BenitoSTARR and his Knicks also completed the sweep against Miami and oneniltothearsenal, but all of those games ended within a 5-point margin at most, so it was much closer than it looks. Chicago pulled it back to 2-2 (I told you they were going to be the end boss), while the Seattle boys let one slip against Minnesota.

Xb2IdyH.png


Not quite a sweep, but that's @weetee, @Solius and @The Cat through to the predicted Conference Final, where they will face altodevil and his Sacramento Kings. That's actually all the Cafites settled for this round, but the remaining match will decide who the Knicks get to face in the Conference Finals, and very well might decide the West's opponent in the finals.

TyaDKaA.png


I'll be honest, this is not what I expected. What looked like a real challenge for BenitoSTARR in Chicago, actually turned out to be one he didn't have to face at all. That makes it all the more likely that we'll see a Cafite champion, as Toronto surely can't handle any of you... could they? They did just take down Chicago, so maybe they're the real final boss - the one you don't see coming.

Conference Finals

Ja0u6z9.png


Okay - I swear I didn't know Toronto was actually going to win the first game when I wrote that last thing. I'm a strictly one-game-at-a-time guy. One game doesn't necessarily mean anything either... is definitely what altodevil is telling himself right now, as the trio of Solius, The Cat and weetee take the first game.

5K5e04F.png


Sacramento even it up, but disaster for BenitoSTARR and the New York Knicks!

Ovh1BoH.png


mfdgW7i.png


And that's Sacramento in the lead now! In the East, Toronto has taken a stunning 3-0 lead. BenitoSTARR is still playing, but he's clearly reduced.

x12oDHg.png


XjxUVqz.png


That's an extremely surprising outcome. Are we really not going to end up with a Cafite NBA Champion even though there were 5 of you in the Conference Semis? I guess the winner between altodevil and The Boys will decide that - and they seem very well matched!

ol1L6mi.png


Sacramento take the lead again, is this the end of Solius, weetee and The Cat?

oL7TIxw.png


3-3, what a thriller! It all comes down to game 7. Anyone could win this! Well, except BenitoSTARR.

m4UwRIC.png


It's Ninja Sacramento! I was just about to call this an upset, before I realized altodevil's team was the 1-seed with a very good regular season record. The Cat, Solius and weetee will be disappointed, but they got to the Conference Finals where they took a very good side to game 7. Not a championship, but not bad at all. That means altodevil will face Toronto in the NBA Finals. A Toronto side that has just taken out the 4th, 1st and 2nd seeds in the East.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
Just get this write-off season over with.
 
I just realised the Knicks are spending the most on scouting, coaching, and training facilities. Benito should be walking this league every year with that setup.

Meanwhile Sacramento is among the worst in the league for everything. And yet I rise from the ashes.

Appropriate gif, considering LeBron is coming this draft.
 
I'm glad Benito and alto became friends again after the whole stunner thing.
