I think this is the year that Alex & the Nuggets finally get it done and hoist the coveted D5 Championship Trophy! Good luck to both teams & GMs, should be a hell of a battle. Alex English James Kay

This is the first time anything other than a 1st or 2nd Seed has reached the Finals since our first season, nine years ago!!
That being said, Charlotte did finish with 59 wins so it's not your average 3rd Seed.

Wow. That's a very interesting box score.
Charlotte pulling the Bucks-series "no one wins at home" thing again?! Well, it's WAY too early to say! But there it is anyway!

How do six Nuggets players take more shot attempts than Pascal? Harden I get, but Theis? Lee? Ish Smith?

How do six Nuggets players take more shot attempts than Pascal? Harden I get, but Theis? Lee? Ish Smith? I mean, I guess part of it is that he only played 21 minutes. But, that's just as big of a question mark. He DID have 4 fouls, but Tobias actually had 5 and Vuc fouled out, both playing more minutes. So, definitely odd.

Without PG, one could argue Charlotte would’ve lost to Orlando potentially in R1 and definitely Milwaukee in R2. He has been carrying this team and you could say regardless of the series outcome, he should be the playoff MVP

It's interesting that the sim gives home court advantage to the higher seeded team, not the team with the better record. Did the NBA ever do that? As I'm aware, the team with more wins usually gets HCA - the 02 Nets were a higher seed than the Lakers, but the Lakers got HCA because they had more wins.

Although I think, as we've seen these playoffs, home court doesn't necessarily mean advantage in the sim

I'd like to point out that James Kay has clearly paid off the refs. He has 92 free throw attempts compared to my 50. He should be disqualified.
