2020 NBA Playoffs (Coronavirus Edition) [COMPLETE]

Post by jytreberg »

Since it doesn't look like our big sports leagues are getting back to playing any time soon, I thought we would simulate them here on CC. First up is the NBA.

With about 64-67 games played out of an 82 game schedule, the NBA playoff picture starting to take shape before the season was suspended in early March. Four teams had already locked in their playoff berths (Milwaukee, Boston, Toronto, and the Lakers) and there were some decent gaps between the 8th place team and the rest of the field vying for those playoff spots. So, while some of the seeding might have changed over the last month of the season, the teams in the tournament probably wouldn't have changed much.

So here's the tournament. All games are 1v1, Automatic, Sequential, Escalating, Chained, Fog, Trench, 30 Round Limit. Each "series" will consist of 7 games (premium only), the higher seeded team getting the extra home game. You will need to win 4 to advance.

When signing up, I just need to know what map you want to use as your Home Court.

Once the sign-ups are complete, I will seed all players by their score at the time of the tournament starting and assign them to a team. Highest player score = team with the best record. Lowest player score = team with worst record.

Player List:
1. BrassD-Canada
2. molespe-San Francisco
3. jytreberg-North America
4. NickJP-Age of Realms 2:Magic
5. DBandit70-Ziggurat
6. Steve Ayers-Cricket
7. chidone-Castle Lands
8. swimmerdude99-Czecho Slovak Fragmentation
9. All Black Rugby-Rail South America
10. shoop76-Arms Race
11. actorday-Woodboro
12. paulgamelb-WWII Poland
13. frank_tank-13 Colonies
14. Enter Smith-British Isles
15. Bklyn-TBD
16. vykingsfan64-USA

Current standings and playoff picture as of the shut down on March 11th are included below for reference.

Just a reminder, you don't need to select a team. I will seed players by their scores when the tournament starts based on the NBA team seeding.

What map do you want to use as home court? Teams will be assigned based on player score once the tournament fills.

Sorry for the delay getting the first round games out for this one. I'm waiting on map selection for one player, but got all other games out this afternoon.

First, the teams determined by player scores:
Player/Team List
Player/Team List


And now, here are the match-ups:
Round 1
Eastern Conference
1. Milwaukee Bucks-swimmerdude99 vs. Orlando Magic-paulgamelb
2. Miami Heat-molespe vs. Indiana Pacers-frank_tank
3. Boston Celtics-shoop76 vs. Philadelphia 76ers-jytreberg
4. Toronto Raptors-NickJP vs. Brooklyn Nets-Enter Smith

Western Conference
5. Los Angeles Lakers-All Black Rugby vs. Memphis Grizzlies-BrassD
6. Utah Jazz-actorday vs. Oklahoma City Thunder-chidone
7. Denver Nuggets-vykingsfan64 vs. Houston Rockets-Steve Ayers
8. Los Angeles Clippers-DBandit70 vs. Dallas Mavericks-Bklyn

Please note these are not strictly top points vs. lowest. The teams were assigned to players based on the order of point totals for all teams which were then split into the two conferences and assigned match-ups accordingly. The rest of the match-ups will be based on winners playing each other as below.

Conference Semifinals
Eastern Conference
9. Winner 1 vs. Winner 2
10. Winner 3 vs. Winner 4

Western Conference
11. Winner 5 vs. Winner 6
12. Winner 7 vs. Winner 8

Conference Finals
Eastern Conference
13. Winner 9 vs. Winner 10

We made it to the conference finals. Our Eastern Conference match-up looks similar to what we might see IRL with the Milwaukee Bucks hosting the Boston Celtics. in the Western Conference, we have a team from Los Angeles, but not the one expected IRL with the Los Angeles Clippers hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder for the right to go to the NBA finals.

Updated standings below with winners in BOLD.

Just in time for the ACTUAL NBA Playoffs to start, we are getting to the Finals of our edition here. In the Western Conference, only one team changed and that was the Portland Trailblazers taking over the 8 seed from the Memphis Grizzlies. Our Eastern Conference still matches the real life match-ups for round one.

On to our Finals. Chidone's Oklahoma City Thunder took down the second seeded LA Clippers led by DBandit70 in a blowout 6-1 games match. Things were only slightly more even in the East with shoop76's Celtics taking down swimmerdude99's top overall seed Milwaukee Bucks 5 games to 2. While probably not the finals we'll see in the Orlando Bubble in a few weeks, it should be a great match-up with four games on Arms Race! and 3 on Castle Lands.

Best of luck to the two finalists.

Updated standings below with winners in BOLD.
