Can we see the difference in w/l for the Bobcats when I'm fit and when injured?

Well I'm spoiling your standings for the All-Star update, but you were 30-13 before you get injured (including a 50.8 GameScore performance in a loss), and from then until the All Star break you go 4-14. I'm pretty annoyed at how your stupidly good season is being ruined. You haven't actually lost any skills to the injuries (which can happen), but it's bad enough.

I'm pretty sure hobbers is now missing out on 2 MVP seasons in a row because of injuries. The crazy part is that if he drops 6 rating points for next season, more than any of you have so far dropped between seasons, he'll "just" be as good as Solius, the clear second best player in the world. So I think he's still got some chances. Charlotte are dire, though.

04/05 Trade Deadline Standings and Trade update

First the regular season standings:



Injury update:



It's hard to overstate just how bad the Charlotte Bobcats are without hobbers. This is the Spurs all over again, although they still managed to make the playoffs despite his injuries. We'll see if the Bobcats can do the same.

Trade update: again, only including significant trades involving you or your teams.

@The Cat, @Solius



@reelworld


@BenitoSTARR


@V.O., @Skizzo



@Stobzilla, @P-Nut


@Stobzilla, @P-Nut, @hobbers


@Samid, @hobbers


Finally, a peek the new teams of The Cat and Skizzo.

Detroit Pistons


Minnesota Timberwolves

I don't think Charlotte realized what they were doing when they signed you. They are desperately trying to be bad.
I imagine whatever money they invested in playing staff and facilities in the real world has all been spent on 1 week of my wages

After Tim Duncan the Heat are sinking faster than Arsenal last season after Saliba went down.

But maybe we can get another Cafite if someone joins the sim! @Šjor Bepo @Jim Beam @Moby you lads are into basketball right?!?!

2005 All Star Weekend

Standings update:



Dunk Contest

We've got another Cafite participating this year! I didn't do any fancy spoiler stuff, because I honestly expected it to go like all the other times (and also I don't even know how exactly I would do it). But then...



@BenitoSTARR has won the flipping Dunk Contest.

Three-Point Contest



Loads of familiar faces again. Previous winners @Solius and @BenitoSTARR return, as do @Samid and @P-Nut. Remember how @V.O. was injured last time, and so that's almost certainly why he wasn't in this one? Well...



@hobbers still injured, it goes without saying. Just look at the standings.

1st Round - 4 advance

Tim Thomas: 15
Michael Finley: 22
Jason Williams: 26
Kyle Korver: 25



24 puts Samid in the middle, which means we're definitely not getting all 4 Cafites through no matter what.

BenitoSTARR is through, at worst the top 4 all get 26 and all move on.

P-Nut is through with a good showing. That means Solius needs at least a 26 for a chance to go through.

27 is enough! That means we'll have BenitoSTARR, Solius, P-Nut and Jason Williams in the 2nd Round.

2nd Round - 2 advance

Jason Williams: 25

Great start by P-Nut, unless both Solius and BenitoSTARR shoot 29+ he's in with a chance to make his first Final Round.

Good shooting, but is it enough? This also means that we definitely won't have our sixth straight Solius against BenitoSTARR final round. BenitoSTARR needs at least 26 now.

Close, but he did it! That makes it a P-Nut vs BenitoSTARR final!

Final Round

I may have accidentally moved on from P-Nut's shooting session without taking a screenshot. I've got you covered though.



27 to win for BenitoSTARR, 26 to force a tiebreak (don't you fecking dare).


He's only gone and won both the Dunk Contest and the 3 Point Contest in the same year!


All Star Game

Let's look at the teams! Only a single Cafite from the East (BenitoSTARR), mostly due to V.O. and hobbers both being injured.



Samid makes his first All Star appearance, while @Dan and P-Nut both return for a second year. Perennials Solius and @altodevil are also there, of course.





It's a win for the West!

I swear you've been copy pasting this entire thing for the past 6 seasons
