You have the 3rd worst record in the league, so probably.

No surprise. Quite cool how Seattle drafted a dynasty though.
Nice. Hopefully we can get someone to carry me to a championship.

2004 Playoffs Conference Finals and NBA Finals
Bracket after the 2nd Round
Conference Finals - it's @hobbers vs. @The Cat, @Solius and @weetee! hobbers will have to do it without Pau Gasol, who is out injured.
First blood goes to the Seattle Supersonics!
Best performance: Solius with 26/6/12 (22.7 GameScore)
The Spurs strike back!
Best performance: hobbers with 34/9/18 (40.7 GmSc)
The Spurs have taken the lead!
Best performance: hobbers with 26/8/14 (30.5 GmSc)
2-2, we're even again!
The good news is that Pau Gasol is back for the Spurs.
Best performance: hobbers with 35/3/14 (34.3 GmSc)
Pau Gasol being back couldn't stop the Supersonics from taking a 3-2 lead. Potentially just one game away!
Best performance: Solius with 34/4/12 (34.4 GmSc)
And there it is, the Seattle boys (Solius, weetee and The Cat) are going to the finals again! It's been a few years since last time. There they will face the Chicago Bulls, who've been really impressive so far in the playoffs. These are clearly the two best teams in the NBA this season.
Best performance: hobbers with 29/15/9 (37.4 GmSc)
NBA Finals
108-91
Again our boys get a good start!
Best performance: Jermaine O'Neal (Seattle) with 38/6/3 (31.5 GmSc)
102-89
Extending the lead, this is easy!
Best performance: Jermaine O'Neal (Seattle) with 31/12/1 (23.9 GmSc)
106-102 (OT <- one period of overtime)
Is this going to be a sweep? That's 3-0 already. Chicago have been so good so far, but it sure seems like weetee, Solius and The Cat are too much for them to handle. Well, and Jermaine O'Neal, who has been the best performer for Seattle in all three games games so far. The bad news is that Seattle's usually-starting Center, Jeff Foster, has been injured - as has back-up PG Charlie Bell.
Best performer: Vince Carter (Chicago) with 39-10-6 (34.6 GmSc)
96-113
The sweep is called off, and it was quite a convincing victory by the Bulls too. To make matters worse Seattle have suffered a third injury now. This time it's PF Scott Padget, who often starts and always gets a decent amount of minutes. He started this game after the others were injured.
Best performance: Solius with 29/6/8 (25.9 GmSc)
84-99
That's two quick ones, what are our boys doing?
Best performance: Vince Carter with 39/6/10 (39.3 GmSc)
97-104
It's 3-3! Are we going to see the reverse sweep in the finals? Are Solius, weetee and The Cat just going to let it slip out of their hands after being one game away from being 2x NBA Champions? Previously-injured Scott Padget is now playing through a sprained foot in a desperate attempt to avoid humiliation.
Best performance: Vince Carter with 24/10/7 (26.6 GmSc)
99-95
Crisis averted! It was close, but Seattle managed to bring it home in the final minutes of the game. That makes the Seattle Supersonics 3-time NBA Champions and all of Solius, weetee and The Cat 2-time champions! Congratulations!
Best performance: Solius with 34/6/5 (25.3 GmSc)

Impressive. Feel like me and jobbers have been hard done by though by being too good immediately. Better to be shite and get high picks for your team.
You had 4 separate small injuries, totalling 25-ish games. You're actually not tanking, the Cavs still think they're 'contending'. Well, we'll see when the new season starts.Feck's sake.
I was injured. Unless I wasn't injured, in which case, we were tanking.
Edit: but it's not a good sign when the team with the regular season assist and scoring leader finishes 2nd to last in the Conference.
Probably. You've got a 3% chance of signing a new contract though, so you just better hope you end up with a good team and not an even worse one. hobbers has 15% chance. That means there's a non-zero chance you guys just swap teams, because they both suddenly have money.
Yeah in your face @BenitoSTARR
*sad hammer noises* I thought we were friends. I thought you’d understand what it’s like to be a tool?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Proper final - TV ratings must have been off the charts!
Shout out to that imaginary kiddo who played B-Ball with me as a barefooded little lad at the Copacabana when everybody else was playing football.
Draft and Free Agency are probably coming later today, but here's something:
That makes it an even 30. There will be an expansion draft, where they can select one player from each team up to a maximum of 14. Teams can protect 8 of their players from selection. I suspect all of you will be protected, so this probably won't have much of an impact. But 4 of you (altodevil, hobbers, Stobzilla, The Cat) have expiring contracts, and Charlotte will probably have some money to spend on salary.

Those four end up in one single team and I might consider retirement.
Yes we're doing it. We're making the super team.
I actually really want to see them on a team together.
It makes it more satisfying when we show them how feeble and insignificant their human efforts are.

BenitoSTARR is our MVP for 03/04! He beat hobbers by a tiny margin, and in fact was behind him for most of the season. Solius rounds out the All NBA 1st Team, with altodevil and Dr. Dwayne appearing in the 2nd Team, as well as V.O., oneniltothearsenal and P-Nut in the 3rd Team. altodevil, hobbers, Solius, oneniltothearsenal and BenitoSTARR all also appeared in the All-Defensive Teams, and no points for predicting that altodevil would become the Defensive Player of the Year. Again. On top of that, Solius was both semifinals and finals MVP - and he, The Cat and weetee all won their second championship ring.

Oof sounds like my buzzer beater was crucial in the finals.
You know I actually missed that, but yeah you probably saved the title right there.
That's sick, nice spot
@nimic we see you trying to sneak your LeBron James Atlanta team into the championship!

04/05 Draft and Free Agency
New
04/05 Draft and Free Agency (and some trades!)
So, I just realized that quite a few trades actually take place in this game during free agency. The reason I didn't notice is that it puts those trades in the previous year, and I stop checking trades after the trade deadline. Because it's the trade deadline. The only reason I noticed this time is because... well, we'll get to that.
First, the draft! The top 12, anyway.
Free Agency:
@The Cat has signed a new contract with the Seattle Supersonics worth $5.7M/yr through 2008. The Cat knows a good thing when he sees it.
@Stobzilla has re-signed with the Memphis Grizzlies for $3.78M/yr through 2008.
@altodevil has signed with the Los Angeles Lakers for $14.26M/yr through 2009. It's not Seattle, but they do spend a lot on coaching and physios.
@hobbers has decided he wants to try something new, and so has chosen the newest thing around and signed for the Charlotte Bobcats for $14.44M/yr through 2009.
Trade News (only big trades involving you or your teams)
It seems like the Miami Heat are actually going for it. @oneniltothearsenal can decide for himself whether this seems worth it.
This marks the first time the 76ers have been Cafite-less since we started this thing. I guess they're tanking, but was it really worth it getting rid of a young, good and not very highly paid @reelworld? Their loss is his... gain? Time will tell.
A clear statement of intent from the Nets, getting rid of older or worse players, plus some draft picks, to acquire @sebsheep.
Now that's surprising! @weetee just won his second title with the Supersonics, and they decide to turn him into 3 other players (and a worthless draft pick). I guess they might have started regretting handing him that massive contract, though it did lead to a couple of championships.

Lakers baby - who cares about the roster, I'm a Lakers centre.
Now that you mention it I could manipulate this to my heart's content. I could fix the draft, change all star participants, maybe even change the playoffs. So much power...
Have Charlotte already done the expansion draft?
Yep. It's not extremely impressive, but you being on it makes it a top 10 team.
What a great move from my top 3 team.
Finally Eastcoast!
Feck the Sonics - ungrateful bunch. Top teammates though.
