08/09 Trade Deadline Update

@altodevil (LAL) @Salt Bailly (DET) - just what the Lakers needed, more good players.

@Salt Bailly (DET) @V.O. (NJ) - Deron comes in

@V.O. (NJ) @Skizzo (OKC) - Deron goes out (you can't explain that

)

@Solius @reelworld (ORL) - not the move of a team with ambitions on second thought, getting rid of a PG might not be a bad idea when Solius and reelworld are both PGs themselves.

@Samid (GSW)

Imagine if Turdcats finish season with this sort of ratio... and then I inexplicably re-sign with them.

Joke is my motivations were fame and winning

You're famous in this thread old bean x

 

[weetee]

Joke is my motivations were fame and winning

Same as me. I secretly suspect the fame attr. being a bit broken hence being happy with mediocre teams as long as you‘re the most famous player there.

But I mentally retired long ago.

 

[altodevil]

Wow, Minnesota made 7 out of 11 finals. Some run.

 

[Salt Bailly]

1 outta 2 ain't bad.

@BenitoSTARR can't quite replicate his 2005 win, though this time he did make it to the final only to be beaten by LeBron.

Great shooting from Samid, but sadly that means The Cat is out.

Solius is out in the first round - what an upset!

Spoiler: BenitoSTARR

BenitoSTARR joins P-Nut, Samid and Kyle Korver in the 2nd Round, but this means reelworld is out.

Spoiler

Spoiler: Samid

Now P-Nut and BenitoSTARR need to shoot at least 28 to have a chance.

P-Nut is out!

Spoiler: BenitoSTARR

So is BenitoSTARR! It's Samid vs the Destroyer of Cafites, Kyle Korver.

Final Round

Spoiler: Samid

Tiebreak!

Spoiler: Tiebreak Kyle Korver

Spoiler: Tiebreak Samid

Kyle Korver has done it again! He seems to have the Caf's number, though Samid did very well to get this far for the first time.

All Star Game

West: @P-Nut, @oneniltothearsenal, @Dr. Dwayne, @Samid, @altodevil (injured)
East: @BenitoSTARR, @Solius, @hobbers, @V.O., @reelworld

08/09 End of Season and Playoff Bracket

Final Regular Season Table

Made the playoffs: @altodevil, @Stobzilla @P-Nut @oneniltothearsenal and @The Cat in the West. @Solius, @reelworld, @Salt Bailly and @BenitoSTARR in the East. No huge upsets, though Solius and reelworld managed a significantly higher seed than expected. It should also be noted that P-Nut's Grizzlies are on a terrible run of form, despite making it.

Missed the playoffs: @Samid, @Dr. Dwayne, @Dan and @Skizzo from the West. @hobbers, @V.O., @weetee and @sebsheep from the East. Several upsets, most notably V.O.'s Nets, who were tipped to finish 3rd. hobbers... well, no need to trigger his PTSD. Safe to say he probably won't be renewing his contract this off-season. Samid's Warriors were also expected to barely make it.

Finally coming into my own as all these old codgers start to deteriorate

At 59 overall, just be thankful you didn't have to buy a ticket.

 

[nimic]

@Skizzo and @reelworld, you two are eligible for early retirement since you're below 60 (barely, you're both 59). Mind you, you're also 27 and 26 years old respectively, so there's every chance you might still improve. Let me know what you want to do as we start getting into the playoffs. At least reelworld might want to see how it goes first, given you're in the playoffs. No reason to retire if you're set to compete for championships.

I'm a 5 time All Star!!

Don't listen to him, you've had decent career so far. He's just jealous.

 

[Skizzo]

@nimic I’ll see it out a bit longer. Waiting for that post-30 peak to hit.

 

[Solius]

@Skizzo and @reelworld, you two are eligible for early retirement since you're below 60 (barely, you're both 59). Mind you, you're also 27 and 26 years old respectively,

Basically like sending them to dignitas.

Have I escaped the shithole yet

I'll see it out a bit longer too @nimic

 

[reelworld]

Just realized that @BenitoSTARR, an SG lead the league in blocks ahead of @altodevil, a center. While @altodevil a center lead the league in steals .

 

[altodevil]

Easier to block smaller players

Shows the heavy lifting I’m doing.

 

[nimic]

Ooof. 58. Is that a record for me?

It is. It's the 2nd highest points scored by any of you, behind BenitoSTARR's 62. You had a 56 high before (and many others in the low 50s). It's also your first time with GameScore over 50, at 53.6.

You shot 9-11 from 3.

 

[reelworld]

@nimic just wondering why my player does not take as many shot? I thought with the shooting ability and offensive IQ stat I gave him he would at least try to shoot more

 

[nimic]

9-11 was an outside job.

 

[nimic]

@nimic just wondering why my player does not take as many shot? I thought with the shooting ability and offensive IQ stat I gave him he would at least try to shoot more

I think it basically boils down to @Solius. Also all 4 best players on your team are guards, and you're the 4th, so you're pretty much playing playmaker.
