Congrats @BenitoSTARR you deserve it this year.
<3 and a nice dunk on top
So close and yet so far. Surely I win 1 when all these old codgers retire
@nimic what's my stats this season so far? Is it bad enough to not be selected to the All Star game?
You're not quite an All-Star. I think it has more to do with your conference being stacked with good players, than you playing any worse than the last two seasons.
2005 Playoff Bracket

2005 NBA Playoffs (Final standings and Playoff Bracket)
Let's see how things turned out in the regular season.
Truly a tale of two conferences! Far more Cafites made it in the West, and the three that didn't make it (@Dr. Dwayne, @Stobzilla and @P-Nut) definitely should have made it, and we strongly expected to. From the table we can see that Dr. Dwayne's Nuggets made a late push, finishing the season with a 7-3 run, but that was sadly just enough to put them a single win behind 6-8th seeds. Sad for them, but not sad for @The Cat, @Dan and @Samid, whose teams were all expected to miss the playoffs. @reelworld's Phoenix Suns also performed better than expected, though the two teams that dominated the West were @altodevil's new Los Angeles Lakers and @Solius' sadly solitary Seattle Supersonics.
In the East, only @V.O. missed out unexpectedly, which might make @Skizzo feel some vindication after the mid-season trade, though he of course also missed out with his new team. @BenitoSTARR also misses out, signifying just how far the previous Champions have fallen. @oneniltothearsenal, @sebsheep and @weetee round out the bottom of the conference. If they're lucky they might just draft their way out of the bottom next season. @Salt Bailly and @hobbers both make it, if slightly less convincingly than they were expected to. hobbers at least has the excuse that he was injured for significant parts of the season, and Charlotte were essentially useless without him.
Before we begin the playoffs, I have some bad news.
The Cat
hobbers
Yes, that's a new hobbers injury. It's a small one, but the timing is very bad. He'll probably try to play through it, but we'll see how that goes.
Now for the playoff bracket:

Let's see how good I do on my lonesome.
feck off Nuggets, you're shit. I want out. 
I was quite surprised that you missed out. You have quite a good team, and you personally had your best season yet. It makes no sense that you had afeck off Nuggets, you're shit. I want out.
The West is strong though.

3 days is only 1 round of the bo7 right
How about we go into my injury likelihood modifier and turn that to 0

I expected to be on my holidays by now
Unfortunately each day is basically a new round of games.
There's also no injury proneness mechanic, unless it's hidden (which I really doubt since I'm in God Mode). Unfortunately for you there is a "how much do teams spend on health" mechanic, and you've consistently been on teams that are bottom 7-8 in the league there. Make better choices, jeez.
This is how professional disappointment feels.
I can win a dunk, I can win a 3 pointer, I can win 2 NBA titles, I can be MVP.
But can I carry the Knicks anymore? I sense they are becoming unworthy.

Thinking about retirement already. Cashed in good, got my rings..no need for this kind of humiliation.
I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing. I am a hammer.
You're 24, steady on.
If hobbers gets healthy he could easily mince through the weak east. Even from 3-0 down.
New Jersey Nets, more like New Jersey Next right guys?!
New Jersey Nots.
Over the next off-season I am going to allow anyone who wants to move up to 50 rating points around (excluding height), but a maximum of +20 in any single stat, so that's something you can start thinking about if you want. You can also change your positions if you want.
Edit: I said "want" a lot in this post, but I refuse to edit myself.

Can I exchange 50 points to just have my contract annulled and give me 20 points in being less of an idiot picking my team
Or I'll give 50 points for Bobcats to put into their facilities.

I'm trying out stacked spoilers for the regular rounds. Spoilers on spoilers on spoilers. Let me know if the amount of spoilers is too damn high, and you would like me to go back to putting them one by one like some kind of asshole.
1st Round
Minnesota and @The Cat take a surprising lead against @altodevil's 1-seed Lakers. Same with @Salt Bailly's Washington Wizards over Atlanta in the East, and @Samid's Houston over New Orleans.
Well, those leads didn't last long.
And there they are again! At the same time, Seattle and @Solius have taken a very commanding 3-0 lead over @Dan's Utah. I don't think anyone expected much of a fight, but let's see if they can avoid the sweep. That also goes for Charlotte and @hobbers, who has been playing with an injury throughout the round so far. Can he save the Bobcats on his own? altodevil picked up an injury only 10 minutes into the game, but it seems like he'll be able to play through it for the rest of the round. It's bound to hinder him, though. Then again, he's playing against the Cat-less Timberwolves, so let's not show too much sympathy.
Well, that answers that! 39 points from the star wasn't enough to do it. We also have to say goodbye to Dan, and we might not be far from having to say goodbye to altodevil at this rate, who has decided to play through the injury.
The Los Angles Lakers stave off elimination for one more round, while @reelworld and the Phoenix Suns are through to the next round with surprising little difficulty. @Samid's Houston Rockets are in danger of letting New Orleans get back into the tie. Meanwhile in the East, the 65-17 Chicago Bulls have been crushed by the Boston Celtics. In their defence, their two best players were injured, but that's one less challenge for any eventual Cafite challengers.
We've got some thrillers on our hands. altodevil has led the Lakers to a 3-3 tie with The Cat's Timberwolves, and Samid is in danger of losing to New Orleans after having a 3-1 series lead. The Cat is still injured, but he's going to play the next game anyway.
The Cat is out! 3-4 was a much better result than I think anyone could reasonably expect for him and his new team. We've also lost Samid, but the same applies there. Maybe Solius can avenge him in the 2nd Round.
2nd Round
What's up with higher seeded Cafites dropping game 1 against their opponents?
And then evening it up for game 2?
That's more what I expected. Solius and the Seattle Supersonics should be able to take out the New OrleansHillary Clintons Hornets. reelworld is doing very well so far with Phoenix, but realistically they shouldn't have much of a chance against altodevil and the Lakers either.
I should stop predicting things.
And Phoenix have taken the lead again! Is altodevil going to let reelworld take away his chance at a title in his first season in Los Angeles? Judging by his recent comments, he seems more interested in the weather and the vibe (and probably the nice facilities). Solius seems poised to move on to his 4th Conference Finals.
reelworld has done it! He's not the most flashy player, but then I guess he doesn't have to be to beat the least flashy player in the game. Except that player usually makes his team win anyway, so what happened here? Now we just need to settle who he'll face in the Conference Finals: Seattle or New Orleans.
Phew! Solius looked at the possibility of going out, said "nah", and promptly dropped 37 points. Though he scored 50 in a loss earlier, so I guess his teammates also helped a little bit. There he'll face reelworld and the Phoenix Suns. Yet again we have a Cafite v Cafite match-up in the West, and no sign of Cafites in the East. Come on East Coast Cafites, where's your pride?

Weird. They’re little blue question marks for me.

Sometime before the stat change can I get an overall view of my team's players please?
Nah that would suck, let our careers pan out and then shove in a new breed.
You can't change too much anyway, that's why I capped it. Let's say you worked on things over the summer. Or did steroids.
To be clear, if you want to add somewhere you have to deduct somewhere else.
Not a fan too
I think that 0 height thingy worked out quite well, right?
