13th place in the Eastern Conference is... Lockback's 31-51 Milwaukee Bucks!



Reporter comment: "Look, they're all headcases. Absolute wackos. All of them. It also doesn't help that there's maybe 1 good shooter on the team in the modern NBA. It's just not going to cut it, especially with how tough this conference is."




13th place in the Western Conference is... Red Rox's 32-50 Los Angeles Clippers!



Insider comment: "He was a bit cocky. He sent the playoff rotation to the commish.. and didn't make the playoffs."

Scout comment: "I'm actually not too sure why they were as bad as they were, but their guys put up good stats. Same pattern, bench wasn't great. Their starting lineup is all 26 and younger, which is still quite young, as well as Barnes and Green who haven't quite come into their own as finished products yet in the NBA. I think this is a team to look out for in the coming years."

Two teams having "bench was too short / wasn't great" as comments is giving me unjustified hope the Thunder did alright (i.e. 42+ wins).

12th place in the Eastern Conference is... Chronicles' 32-50 Brooklyn Nets!



Scout comment: "They did what they could with this roster. Amen played pretty drat well, so did Clax and Bey. There's something here for the future."

Reporter comment: "Booker had to do a lot of heavy lifting. The other teams just had more firepower. Their GM was interesting. Some brilliant moves, some head scratchers, but he has that sort of personality that makes you want to see what he has in store for the future."



12th place in the Western Conference is... Mr. F's 36-46 Portland Trail Blazers!



Reporter comment: "These guys could really score. They were at the bottom of their division in record yet had the most PPG.. just had zero interest in any defense. Their GM also had an interesting strategy with some overpays. If he cleans that up, there was some real potential here. Coby White blossomed here almost averaging 20 points, while Harden had 25 and Klay had almost 20 as well."

11th place in the Eastern Conference is... Blind Pineapple's 32-50 Atlanta Hawks!



Insider comment: "The players felt a little deflated that their GM overpaid so much. There was some real talent here that could've been better taken further with a clear star. It's okay though, they tried the best they could.. and hit up Magic City after the home games."



11th place in the Western Conference is... IcePhoenix's 41-41 Minnesota Timberwolves!



Reporter comment: "Honestly, Timberwolves should be proud. They made it competitive until the end almost making the playins, missing it by only a game. The West was way more difficult than anyone imagined this year. LaVine averaged 30 ppg, Edwards averaged 24 ppg.. the deep bench was just a little thin. If he was able to hit a player on those last few days of bidding, things would've gone differently for sure."

Woof, I thought my Bucks would do better than that. The team didn't quite come together right but that's brutal.

Also 41-41 coming in 11th is really rough.

and advanced to be the 7th and 8th seeds in the West!

and advanced to be the 7th and 8th seeds in the East!

Doltos had to claw his way from the 10th seed - last year's runner up is unkillable!

BWV's team struggled more than people thought - a similar story though, outside of Powell his bench didn't offer that much. All of his starters put up solid stats and percentages. Tatum struggled from three more than you'd like to see (32%).

IRL I think your team would make it - sims are always iffy gauging young players though who haven't hit their stride. Tinge on the young side but all your guys work together well imo.

Denver makes easy work of Memphis and New Orleans deep team pulls off the upset versus the top heavy Doncic-Bam Spurs!

Miami had too much firepower for Orlando with a thrilling OT win in game 1, while Cleveland reverse swept Detroit who started off the series 2-0.

Yeah the sim is just for fun, the goon vote is the real quiz.

Unless the Heat win it all in which case the sim is the fairest reflection of GM skill and general coolness and sex appeal.
