New
07/08 End of Regular Season + Playoff bracket
Final standings
No big surprises in the West, with @altodevil's Lakers, @The Cat's Timberwolves and @P-Nut's Grizzlies making it. The Lakers set a new regular season record with 75-7. Scary. @Stobzilla and @Skizzo were some distance away, but then they were expected to be.
In the East, we've got one Cafite making it who wasn't expected to (@Dan with the Bucks) and one who was expected to make it but didn't (@Samid and the Cavs). Other than that, the most disappointed Cafite is probably @weetee, who didn't make the playoffs with the Hawks' 41-41 record, which would have easily been enough in the West. @Solius & @reelworld might be disappointed to miss it with the Magic (given their playoff record), while @Dr. Dwayne and @oneniltothearsenal shouldn't have expected to make it in the first place.
We've got several making it in the East (@hobbers with the Bobcats, @Salt Bailly with the Pistons, @BenitoSTARR & @sebsheep with the Knicks and @V.O. with the Nets), but they're all on pretty good teams so there's no predicting their playoff results.

You're good, but I might be more impressed with oneniltothearsenal adding 20 wins in a 29-win team.
I guess you're not that far off.
Estimate all you want, I'm all about real wins baby.
@sebsheep let me know if you want to retire and let a younger generation take over next season. And also design that younger generation.
Was going to see if I got a ring this season but this message doesn't give me hope
A ring you say?
Why was that reply so fast?

Upset in the East! It's not going to be a 3rd season in a row for Chicago in the finals, instead we'll have altodevil's Los Angeles Lakers against the Washington Wizards (with rookie Kevin Durant who is poised to overtake all of you).
Might be last chance for sneaky 2nd ring before Durant dominates.
Then again, if we win, he'll just join my team.
1 more season in purgatory then maybe I can join a team that has some ratings higher than 5/100

BenitoSTARR is the MVP again, while altodevil wins Defensive Player of the Year and reelworld is the 6th Man of the Year. altodevil won both Finals and Semifinals MVP.
Cafites are still dominating the awards teams, but that might change in the next few years as younger players like Kevin Durant take over. Ironically some of you may really benefit from no longer being by far the best players on your teams. You might actually win something (FAO: hobbers).
Salt Bailly and oneniltothearsenal make the Defensive 3rd Team, with BenitoSTARR on the 2nd and hobbers and altodevil leading the 1st. In All-League we've got Samid and oneniltothearsenal on the 3rd Team, Solius on the 2nd and P-Nut, altodevil, hobbers and BenitoSTARR on the 1st.

Reminder: You can retire the following season if you're below 60 rating and want to start over again (with either the same or new build). Above 60 you've got every chance of being a starter for a championship team, so I won't let you off the hook no matter how much you hate Charlotte.
And of course I can still add anyone else who wants to join. Just be aware that you might get stuck in Charlotte. Or you might win 3 rings. Anything is possible.
