Kobe winning a 6th ring; sounds like a nightmare. Hope you can have a miraculous comeback in this one. Lovenani for the win!

The Los Angeles Lakers Are The 2014-15 NBA Champions
Lakers 94, Bobcats 91

Charlotte erased a 14 point fourth quarter deficit but it just wasn't quite enough as the Lakers used a dominant third to defeat the Bobcats and win their 18th NBA championship. Kobe Bryant had a poor 11 point, 4-16 outing, but his teammates stepped up and held Charlotte to thirteen points in the third period.

Beal and Love had spirited efforts for the Bobcats, but they just couldn't quite get it done. "It's really disappointing to see it end like this, but we'll be back next year", commented a confident Kevin Love.

Kobe Bryant was named the 2014-15 Finals MVP, winning the award for the third time.

LAL 33 23 24 12 | 94 - Bynum: 11 pts, 20 rebs; Gasol: 11 pts, 11 rebs, 8 asts; Ginobili: 17 pts, 6 rebs
CHA 27 28 13 23 | 91 - Love: 18 pts, 14 rebs, 7-8 FG; Beal: 18 pts, 5 asts, 4 rebs; Walker: 14 pts, 4 asts

I'm pretty done with 2K12 but I did sim/GM the 2015-16 so expect a quick recap or two of that. If I'm so inclined, I'll sim 16-17 down the road, but I'm mostly focused on the new one. Stay tuned though.

2016 NBA Playoffs

Bobcats Defeat Raptors In 5 Games
Ray Cer and the Toronto Raptors were thrilled to return to the playoffs. Unfortunately for them, the Bobcats were a team on a mission and steamrolled the Raptors with a gentleman's sweep.

Bobcats Take Out Nets In 6 Games
Last season, the Nets gave the Bobcats a scare in the first round. Once again, they were not pushovers, but Love and the Cats were too much as Brooklyn goes down in 6.

Bobcats Return To Finals, Defeat Pistons 4-1
In a rematch of last season's conference finals, Detroit was no match for the improved Bobcats, who advance to their second consecutive NBA Finals.

Bobcats lose to Spurs in NBA Finals

The two best teams in the league faced each other in the finals, and once again, Charlotte comes up short. Led by finals MVP Carmelo Anthony, the stacked Spurs were too much for Charlotte and raise their fifth banner. Congratulations to Melo, Chris Bosh, Martti Must, Bradley Rice, Kenny Young and the San Antonio Spurs.

Your team kicked ass. They probably would have won the next couple as well. IIRC you were the starting center averaging 18 and 8 as per your career averages. Kenny had something like 13/2/4 on efficient scoring.

Thanks for all the interest, guys. This story has been a lot of fun and I appreciate all the support, even when this section was on life support. This one is officially retired.

Sit, X, badreligion, Martti, Valor, hova-, dare, z02 (I mean, rise), Podolski or whatever you're calling yourself these days, Grinch, Axel., Thierry, newc, Justine, I can't name all of you guys off the top of my head but thanks for following and participating in this. :chug:

Too bad you were never able to win a championship but great job taking the Cats to back to back finals appearances (NJ Nets anyone?) (Y)
Thanks for the shoutout, this has been a pleasure to follow :chug:

P.S. I (finally) made the All-Star team! :lol:

Sucks to see you fall short again, but at least it was to a more likeable team this time. Martti and I made a good duo :)

Anyway, congrats once again on a great story and thanks for the shoutout (Y)
