In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Good god my team is ass. Hopefully my 'winning' motivation gets me to a better squad pronto. hobbers looks like a monster, both stats and appearance wise.
Feel bad for the Doc, worst team and not even making the starting five.
Hobbers drank way too much of his KoolAid I guess.

Can I register for the 2000 draft? If so, put my name in please!
Sure! Go to this thread and fill in the required stuff, and I'll add you to the 2000 draft.
Give you guys a chance to find your feet for the next couple of seasons before coming in and shaking things up
Get me off this shite team. I can't even start because these scrubs in Charlotte. At least it looks like I'm improving a lot.
Put his jumping and endurance down to zero as punishment.
Done!
What? FfsThat could be because @sebsheep used 825 pts in his build not 725

Delete Player? Bit harsh. Put him last in the draft!
When is Big Billy Benito Singleton getting drafted?
97/98 All Star Weekend
Again nobody in the 3-Point Contest, and again the same participants in the Slam Dunk Contest and the All Star Game.
@Salt Bailly is very ambitious, to the point where he doesn't always manage to complete his dunks. Still, at least he was there.
@altodevil was again selected for the All Star Game, though this time he didn't play as much, or as well. This time he actually won, though. He ended with 4/6/2 (points, rebounds, assists), as well as 3 steals and 2 blocks.

97/98 Playoffs
97/98 Playoffs are here! I'll do it round by round in one post later (with spoilers), but first I'll just present the teams. I predict that the next few seasons are going to be a lot busier than this one, as you're still mostly on bad teams. This year actually sees fewer of you in the playoffs than last season, surprisingly.
First of all, here are the regular season standings.
Eastern Conference
In the East, two Cafites made it to the playoffs this year. @Salt Bailly has now made the playoffs in all three of his seasons with the Bucks, though he is yet to make it past the First Round. @Dan will have his second outing, this time quite impressively as the #3 seed. Last year he made it to the Conference Semis. @altodevil's Cavaliers take a step back from last year, while @Dr. Dwayne's Knicks and @oneniltothearsenal's Hornets are miles away. Dr. Dwayne seems okay with it. oneniltothearsenal? He gone.
Western Conference
From the West, only @Stobzilla and the Grizzlies make it, as the #8 seed. @hobbers and his Trailblazers are quite far away from making it, though not as far as the @Solius - @The Cat Superteam. Sorry, that should say Supersonics. Still, at least this means that 4 out of the 5 worst records are teams with Cafites on them, which means it's quite likely that some of you will be getting new friends in the draft.

What happened to prime Bulls?
Pippen and Kukoc are still there, but getting old. Jordan signed with Toronto in 1996.
ROTY candidate surely? First year starting centre leading his team to the post season.
Really wasted on these Portland chumps
97/98 Playoffs and Season Review
Playoffs
I was going to be a bit more comprehensive, and use spoilers to create tension, all that good stuff that maniak does in his classic CM Experiments. But then this made all that rather redundant.
Yes, everyone went out in the first round. Only Dan managed to take a game off his opponents. Here are their playoff stats:
Points/rebounds/assists
@Dan: 14/4/2 (and 2 steals)
@Salt Bailly: 15/8/1 (and 3 blocks)
@Stobzilla: 9/11/3
Not a bad set of performances, all things considered.
Season Awards
Teams
@altodevil with another good showing, though he dropped from First to Third Team All-League since last season. @hobbers also with his second showing in the All-Defensive First Team. Quite surprisingly none of our rookies (@Solius, @Stobzilla, @The Cat) made it onto the Rookie Team. In their defense, it was quite a strong rookie class, and all of the selected rookies improved surprisingly much. Solius was 6th in voting, Stobzilla 9th.
Individual
Another Defensive Player of the Year award for altodevil. I can also reveal that hobbers was 4th in voting for that award. Also, @oneniltothearsenal was 3rd in voting for Most Improved Player.

attributes go up, stats go down. Must be the teammates at fault.
I'll take 6th in voting.
We'll likely get another Caf prodigy in our draft pick right? Since we were dogshit all season.

Assuming you don't get screwed by the draft lottery. For those who don't know, it's not a straight "worst to best" in the draft, at least not for the high picks. The worse your regular season record is, the higher a % chance you have to get a good pick. So the worst team has the best chance to get the #1 pick, but they're still statistically more likely to not get it. That's how Salt Bailly ended up on Milwaukee, who only had the 9th worst record, but won the 1.3% chance to get the #1 pick.
Am I right in thinking it was originally a straight worst to best but they introduced the lottery to change it because teams were tanking deliberately?
Yep, I think so. Not sure how much it worked, but hey.
@Damien how many people can I tag atm? Can I get like... 25? Only 17 people in this now, but I'm nothing if not an optimist.

Done.
