Title: Who will make the playoffs first?
Post by: NetsGM on August 19, 2005, 01:49:05 PM
Alright guys, in 4 SSBA seasons, we have 6 teams who have never seen the postseason.  Who will make it first?  (if you think 2 will make it next year, pick the most likely)

I think it will be the Bulls first with the Celts being a close second.

The bulls almost made it this yr, and with either a resigned Pierce, or the possibility to bring in a big free agent. they'll be that much better.

the celtics have made some good moves in his first 2 or 3 seasons in the league, and with another offseason of positive moves, he could possibly move into the playoff picture next yr

I'm gonna be an oddball and say the Lakers.

The Bulls are just cursed.  Otherwise I'd vote for them.

That and the fact that the Eastern conference is scary tough.  

Haywood is one of the best centers you never hear of.  Brent Mercer and Bosh fill out a great fc rotation.

Stephen Jackson had a tremendous bounce back year.  Dwyane Wade has been steadily improving.  And they should have a top 6-7 pick.  This team had a nice 2nd half.

Bulls are just too good to not make it soon.

i'LL go with the Celtics. They have pretty nice core of young players and they were only one game away from this year playoffs.

bump.....


Looks like the Bulls will make it....unless they have a monumental collapse in the last two sims.

Spurs are holding onto the 8th spot in the west although they got no love at the beginning of the season.

Celtics, after a slow start, are fighting to slip into the playoffs in the east.

Knicks, Hawks & Lakers are still searching for that right combination to get them to the promised land.

I'm not trying to get ahead of myself here, but it looks like the Cavs will make the playoffs for an incredible 2nd time. Whoops, probably shouldn't have said that... :?

Voted for Celtics, they're on a big run last few sims, being worst in the league if i remember good, and coming on the edge of PO spot, great job

Well the Bulls are pretty much in the playoffs, so I think they're a given. But Celtics could make it too.

Amazing! You DID post that BEFORE the sim, so YEAH, so much for following the temptation ...  :cry:

Funny thing is, you STILL have a chance to make it into the postseason (although hardly much noise there now) with a favourable schedule next sim. But still, you should've waitet just a tiny little ...

 :wink:

And the fates displayed their fickleness...Ray Allen broke his leg and will miss the entire playoffs....unless I make it to the Finals.
