Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 07, 2005, 12:01:02 PM Wow... The West playoff picture is still very murky...
The Sonics currently in 5th with 6 out of 9 at home... but with a killer schedule coming up (Bucks, Wolves, Rockets, Kings, and the Rockets again) Will most likely make the playoffs... The Jazz currently in 6th, with 4 out of the next 5 at home... but against some tough competition (Kings, Bucks, Magic) also likely to hold a playoff spot... Warriors in currently in 7th, with 3 of 6 at home, also against tough competition (76'ers, Mavs, Magic, and Grizzlies) Playoff spot in jeopardy... Denver currently in 8th, with 3 of 8 at home, and some tough games ahead (Wizards, Bucks, Magic, and Hornets) Playoff spot in jeapardy And Portland close behind in 9th with 4 of 5 at home, Kings, Wizards and Heat being their toughest competition... if they do well at home, a playoff spot is theirs... Wow... coming down to the last week. One injury could seriously change the standings right now... Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: KingsGM-old on March 07, 2005, 01:17:38 PM what's up man? it seems like you and i are going head-to-head in the 1st...
any predictions? Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 07, 2005, 01:53:12 PM I don't know... I may fall out of the 7th spot right now... I am a little nervous that I actually might miss the playoffs.
But if we do go against each other, it should be evry interesting... The Kings have swept the season series... But you have not see Ben Wallace in a Warriors uni yet. I seems that most of the time it is either McGrady or Bibby killing the Warriors... I just hope the additions of Barry (A-) defender and Wallace (A+) defender make a difference... And I think they will ;) We will go to at least 6... But Wallace is going to make a HUGE difference... Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 07, 2005, 01:56:20 PM But the prediction... Warriors in 7...
It comes down to bench play, the Warriors just have much better offensive and defensive punch coming off the bench. Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: RaptorsGM on March 07, 2005, 04:09:25 PM I expect to fall out of the home court advantage race with Finley being out for 10 days.
This is Vince's time to shine/ Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: KingsGM-old on March 07, 2005, 04:11:27 PM Quote from: GoldenStateGM But the prediction... Warriors in 7...

I really want a top 2 pick, bad.

Don't count on it, I have 9 games this sim, 0-9 baby! :) Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: NetsGM on March 07, 2005, 05:04:17 PM Well, I've got 2.5 games on ya. If I even go 2-3 in my last 5, all you have to do is go 3-6. I like my chances ;)
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: RaptorsGM on March 07, 2005, 05:05:09 PM Yes, but let's not forget the lottery is just that - a lottery.
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: BullsGM-old on March 07, 2005, 05:40:12 PM ^ Killer of fun :)
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: BullsGM-old on March 07, 2005, 07:59:46 PM OT question, but when exactly will the draft order be revealed, during or after the postseason?

It's after. I think it's the first thing after the Championship game, Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: NetsGM on March 07, 2005, 08:07:34 PM After the season, after the free agent extension period.
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: SixersGM on March 08, 2005, 08:22:33 AM I hope i could somehow get into the top 4. :(
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: RaptorsGM on March 08, 2005, 01:53:42 PM I could potential have the top 3 picks :)
I would just love to get ONE top 3 pick though. Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: RaptorsGM on March 08, 2005, 05:18:41 PM Man, I actually hope I get caught for 3rd so I dont have to play the Sixers..
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: RaptorsGM on March 08, 2005, 05:29:42 PM Shit son, it's up already.
Another 6-2 for me :) Finished the season on a 5 game win streak Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: RaptorsGM on March 08, 2005, 05:33:32 PM Argh, Wizards crawled back into a playoff spot.
My 2 picks that are set are: 24th and 13th. My 2 lotto picks: 4th and 6th. I'm happy :) Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: LakersGM-old on March 08, 2005, 05:42:26 PM DAMN! I didnt think id get that bad with my trades before the deadline. Although if Bosh and Pavel develop into the players i think they will it wont seem that bad.
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: NetsGM on March 08, 2005, 05:44:37 PM Check-in:
http://ssba.phillyarena.net/files/check-in.htm ARRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bulls caught me! We're both tied for 2nd/3rd. Should be an interesting lottery day. (boy, I can't wait for that day to get here. No offense to the playoff teams but you don't hold my interest). Dangit. "Big" wins over the Bucks and Hawks did me in. Congrats to Emeka for ROY, All Rookie first team and All League Third Team. Regular Season Award Winners and Playoff Bracket are up. Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: MavsGM on March 08, 2005, 05:45:48 PM One win short of 50. :cry:
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: SunsGM on March 08, 2005, 05:49:08 PM arghhh hoped to end season on a up swing,
finished 3-4 to end with a 37-45 record. not as bad as some other teams, but i should end up with a top 10 pick out of it. its still up for trade by the way. pm me offers if you like! Kobe was all first team and all def first team hopefully my core of kobe amare and nash will meld well with the draft picks, or free agents, and i can make a run next year. Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: BullsGM-old on March 08, 2005, 05:51:13 PM Hahah, Nets > Bulls (and thats a good thing for me :) )
And I agree with Nets, screw teh playoffs, lets get to the draft! :) Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: BullsGM-old on March 08, 2005, 05:56:02 PM My picks are sitting at 2, and 8 right now. I'll need some lotery magic with the Clippers pick.
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: JazzGM-old on March 08, 2005, 08:01:22 PM Finished 5-0 (8-2 in last 10) and pulled into the 5th spot of the West. Playing my best ball at the best time of the year.
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: RaptorsGM on March 08, 2005, 08:12:23 PM Still can't believe my team won 49 games after me trying to tank for over half the season.

Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: HawksGM on March 08, 2005, 09:38:38 PM I have the most lottery balls which is what I wanted....now I have to hope to get the #1 pick which is probably highly unlikely...never seen it in any of my FBB sims...
Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: MagicGM on March 08, 2005, 09:59:58 PM damn though my standing went up to the 5th... 2 of my big guys who plays a vital role for my team is down.. Woods and haywood... damn!

Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: CavsGM on March 08, 2005, 10:14:10 PM Tied for the 8th worst record with the Clippers. Can I hit the top 3? I can hope...

Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 09, 2005, 09:25:48 AM Went 4-2 in the Sim, and beat Dallas for the first time ever :D
Also climbed to the 6 spot in the West.. Bless the tie breaker. But I so do not want to see Garnett in the playoffs.. shudder... And Congratulations to Big Ben Wallace for making the All-Defensive Team... Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: OldNuggetsGM on March 09, 2005, 01:46:11 PM The only team to finish with a winning record and not make the playoffs... :(
The loss of Camby really hurt me; 0-2 in the games he missed, 4-2 with him. Oh well. A good learning experience overall. I should now be able to focus in on the draft and free agency with a much better handle on things. Title: Sim 12 Discussion - Playoff race Post by: Anonymous on March 09, 2005, 08:18:41 PM niiicee i got 8th seed...that makes zach wanna resign :)
