Interesting that the Clippers went from probably the most popular pick to win the West going into the season to the #1 "waning" team in the entire league off of just one more year of predictable Kawhi/PG injuries.

Shows that it's a good thing RealGM are not real GMs.

Amazing job ElectricMayhem. Those postmortem were amongst the best General Board topics of the last few months.

This is sweet. The amount of orange in the last one shows how loosely people throw that out.

I feel like there needs to be a 4 option between Rising and Treadmill on that last one. Treadmill has a negative connotation. But I believe there is a state of maintain/competing.

Its how i would classify a team like Milwaukee. I don't expect them to rise - they finished with the best record in the league this year and were champions 2 years ago. But they don't need to rise - they just need to stay healthy and compete. But it also feels wrong to call Milwaukee a treadmill team because they are championship caliber. I would also put Miami in this category. They will probably lose some free agents and be slightly worse next year, but i don't want to call a team that made it to the finals a treadmill.

Yeah the only 3 teams with small orange bars just recently did a complete tear down and have key young players to rebuild around.

Looks like 2/3rds of the entire league is treadmilling

for a guy chilling out in the hills of Kobe and eating that epic beef, you produce some great work. Others have said it, but you've done a hellof job here. The visual representations of your poll results are telling and informative. gannbatta ne!

Yeah I agree, it might show a little more granular information at teams on the edge if they are trending up or down.

Great job on this Electric Mayhem. I love this end of season recap series.

ElectricMayhem you've done a hell of a job and are to be commended. Really love the effort you put into the postmortems of every team out there.

Enjoy the off-season and best of luck to your Pistons.

Thanks for the work and effort ElectricMayhem......... :beer:

And so ends another season. I enjoyed it and thought it was a good one. Looking forward to the start of the 23-24 season in October, meanwhile I will be dutch-ovening my cat for entertainment.

We could find some gems in the 2nd round, just not Jokic.
