It's a repeat of last season in the West, with altodevil and the Lakers taking on The Cat and the Timberwolves. Last time Minnesota came out on top, and they would go on to win the title as well. We had a different result in the re-run of the 2nd Round match-up from last year in the East (New York vs. Orlando), but the winner will again take on Chicago. The Bulls are even stronger this year, and back then they took out Orlando. Will BenitoSTARR and Dan do any better?

It's another Minnesota - Chicago final! Last time The Cat's lads took a convincing 4-2 victory. This time Chicago are stronger, though.

We've got @The Cat back in the playoffs, with a chance at winning his 4th ring! He's up against a seriously strong Chicago Bulls though.

Close but no cigar for The Cat and Minnesota. Still, they had the 7th best record in the league going into the playoffs, so getting that close is quite the achievement.

I'm the best player but still get shafted.
 
Damn thought there was a chance there. They could rule for a few years now unless we get lucky with a free agent, a Caf one ideally.
 
But be careful what you wish for, you have actually made the Conference Finals and 2nd Round in your two seasons in Orlando. Some people barely see the playoffs.
Speaking of those: hopefully Lebron ain‘t kicking me out already.

Sort of feel like my guy is worse after I rebalanced him.
 
Give us some advanced stats too, we're roughly halfway through our careers - who's fairing the best?
 
But be careful what you wish for, you have actually made the Conference Finals and 2nd Round in your two seasons in Orlando. Some people barely see the playoffs.

I could live with being poor if I hadn’t seen such riches.

Cool that the retooling to offer a little bit defensively is showing up in the stats and awards... Shame that the actual season played out the exact same way as always. :(

Other random stuff I noticed

  • Dr. Dwayne once shot 25 free throws in one game, and scored them all.
  • hobbers has by far the highest GameScore in a game at 54.1 He went 46/10/12 with 7 steals and 6 blocks... and still only beat Atlanta by 3 points.
  • oneniltothearsenal once had 10 turnovers, but also 37/20/12 and 6 steals.
  • Only four players have scored 50 in a game: Solius (12), Samid (4), BenitoSTARR (2), hobbers (2). If Dr. Dwayne had hit one more free throw in that game he would done it too. Solius is the only one who has done it in the playoffs.
  • Nobody has tried 40 field goal attempts (shots) in a game, but Solius once had 39.
  • Two players have scored 10 3-pointers or more in one game: Samid and V.O.
  • reelworld once had 27 assists
  • Solius was blocked 9 times in one game - and still scored 37.
  • Dr. Dwayne has made the most guaranteed money so far ($169.52M)
  • reelworld is featured twice in the top 5 of the "most lopsided trades" stat that the game can generate, based on the total amount of wins added. Both times because his pick was traded. You can't blame them, that pick could have turned into anything - even another reelworld.
  • Fun add-on to the previous fact: one of those was the 1999 Seattle Supersonics trading away the pick that would turn into reelworld (that they had gotten from Indiana in another trade) for a 52-rating player. He would peak at 54 and retire a few years later. At this point Solius, weetee and The Cat were already on the team, and just about to become really good. They could have had all four.
  • The 2005 Phoenix Suns were the 7th worst NBA Final team ever.
  • The 2001 Seattle Supersonics are the youngest championship team ever. The 2006 Minnesota Timberwolves were 2nd, and the 2000 New York Knicks 3rd. All had Cafites.
  • Solius currently has the 7th highest career rating improvement in history, from 55 to 86. Dr. Dwayne is 10th with 45 to 75, and hobbers is 17th with 63 to 91.
