Solius and altodevil are a problem
<3 and a nice dunk on topCongrats @BenitoSTARR you deserve it this year.
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.@nimic what's my stats this season so far? Is it bad enough to not be selected to the All Star game?
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.
feck off Nuggets, you're shit. I want out.
Unfortunately each day is basically a new round of games.3 days is only 1 round of the bo7 right
How about we go into my injury likelihood modifier and turn that to 0
This is how professional disappointment feels.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 amuchsomewhat better record last season.
The West is strong though.
Dude..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.
I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing. I am a hammer.Dude..
..it‘s the Knicks.
You're 24, steady on.Thinking about retirement already. Cashed in good, got my rings..no need for this kind of humiliation.
New Jersey Nots.New Jersey Nets, more like New Jersey Next right guys?!
Really? Work fine for me.Pics aren’t showing?
Make me into a monster.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.
I can see them ok.Really? Work fine for me.
Weird. They’re little blue question marks for me.Really? Work fine for me.
Sign me up!!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.

feck yeah!2005 NBA Playoffs 1st Round and 2nd Round
Bracket:
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 ClintonsHornets. 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?
Nah that would suck, let our careers pan out and then shove in a new breed.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.

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.Nah that would suck, let our careers pan out and then shove in a new breed.
I think that 0 height thingy worked out quite well, right?To be clear, if you want to add somewhere you have to deduct somewhere else.
