Going to start a rivalry post. Go ahead and fill out what you think of your biggest rivalry. If you want, fill out more than one rivalry, but try to do it on different posts. If you get posted as a rivalry, go ahead and respond.
Who is your biggest rival?
How do the two teams matchup?
How is the series going to go this year?
My biggest rival is the Clippers. Being on opposite ends of the country and in completely different conferences makes this a surprise rivalry. But that GM just pisses me off so much. He thnks the team he built is so great, but they play like a bunch of white kids in a 6 foot and under league. If you can guard them on the outside, they don’t stand a chance. His team sickens me. His logo sickens me. Everything about that GM sickens me. He just so happens to be my brother, but that is a coincidence.
His strength is outside. He has good shooters and a decent post game. He does not, however, have any defense. I have the guard play to keep up point for point with his team. I also have the defense to force multiple turnovers from both outside and inside. Our benches are pretty similar. I definitely like my top bench players with Cassell leading the charge over any of his bench players.
Last year, the Heat won the series 2-0. I don’t see any difference. I expect the differential of scores to be greater. Anything less than a double-digit win to this piece of crap is going to be a bad game. I also expect to keep him to fewer than 100 points in the season opener. I have the better team now, and the better potential going forward. Don’t expect this rivalry to be close anytime soon. This year is going to be easy for the picks: Heat 2 – Clippers 0

Who is your biggest rival? I'd have to go with the Kings and Warriors equally.
How do the two teams matchup?I apparently match up horrible with the Kings. I apparently match up well with the Warriors.
How is the series going to go this year? Tbh probably splits in both.

My biggest rival is the Pacers and their GM, Pauly P. We are not in the same division, but are in the same conference. It all started last offseason when he took multiple shots at my team. I retaliated and thus a beautiful rivalry was born. Although, I gotta say, last season it wasn't much of a rivalry. I crushed him in almost every game and won the series 3-1. I think his team is overrated and that Stacey Augmon is bound for a T-Mac like career of first round exits.
His strength is his star power. Stacey Augmon and Patrick Ewing form a very formidable duo that not many teams in the league can match. But other than that, not much. An aging Larry Bird and an okay point guard make up the rest of his team essentially. His depth is mediocre at best. Hubert Davis and Darrell Armstrong are going to be too much offensive firepower for him though.
Last season, as I mentioned above, the Magic won the series 3-1. This season I predict a more even series split of 2-2. I don't have the team I had last year, but I predict that he still won't be able to beat my mediocre Magic team 3 times. After this season, all will be right and I'll be back to dominating the series.
*Don't get me wrong, his team will be better than mine this year. I just have a feeling we will split

Those losers over at the Lakers and Warriors would be the Kings rivals.
The matchups are funny because the team's change each season. Overall it's a circle of the warriors usually beating me, I usually beat the Lakers, and the Lakers usually beat the warriors.
My team took the biggest step back so they'll finish ahead of me

If we went back to last sim league. The Grizz are probably my biggest 'rivals'. We've played in the playoffs like 8 times. Already 2 in this league out of 3 years.

In this league, I would have to say I have 2 rivals... Pistons and Knicks.
Pistons is a more personal rival mainly because it does go back to PR sim league as well... and we saw the hype from last season in the preseason, throughout the regular season, and the playoffs.
Knicks would be only in this league and that is because in 3 seasons we matched up in the playoffs 3 times, and my series record against them is 1-2. With the new owner in I'll be looking to continue on with our rivalry too.
Matchup wise last season I think everything matched up evenly with Tray. I think I had a better overall team than the Knicks, but they had D-Rob which kinda negates any advantage I have.
Sadly, these rivalries won't be as fun this year, and I expect both to sweep the season series (although I may steal a win against the Knicks if they lose D-Rob again).

I have no equal.
But the Pistons are a team I love to crush. The Hornets used to be in old PR but I swept them 2 seasons in a row.
Pistons/Raptors is one of the oldest rivalries here dating back to me calling out Tray for posting only once a month.

When it comes to the Pistons' rivalries, there are old rivalries (Bucks who are playing in the D-League this season) and new rivalries (Celtics because you know), but one constant has always been there - the Raptors.
This mainly goes back to the PR season that we ended up tied for last place and only had each other to compete with. It then fed into a GMOY race that surprise, surprise I lost. That culminated into a quick exit in our first playoff series in 5 seasons. Raptors had the upper hand for the majority of the time there. I also coined his nickname "the Great One" for my own Pedro Martinez calling the Yankees his daddy moment. The first few season here were largely owned by Toronto to.
But...then the wind changed directions and I dominated them in the 1992-93 regular season and booted them from the playoffs in 6 games. Having the purely more talented squad again this season, things are looking bright in Detroit.
The Raptors are one of the more improved teams this season and should easily challenge for the division title I am defending. It should just feed this rivalry even more.
Look for the Pistons to win the series and be higher in the division because it seems like a poetic way to finish this post.
When the series finally levels out, what will you have then Soundwave?

I don't have a rivalry. I just dislike every GM in this league. You guys are a bunch of derpy turd eaters with bitch tits.

Who is your biggest rival?
I don't have one but I'm in the market. I'm considering starting something with the Lakers because we are in the same division, I know O'Hard outside of the league, and O'Hard just offered me a trape deal for Bradley that was so bad it was offensive. I think that a rivalry could be brewing with the Mavs though because both our teams have bright futures and I think we'll run into each other in the playoffs over the next few seasons.
How do the two teams matchup?
Horace Grant and Seikaly will be the death of me, which makes me really bitter because I offered max deals to both. I match up well against the Lakers because we're both guard heavy so I look forward to those matchups this season.
How is the series going to go this year?
I think I'll win the Laker series but lose the Mavs series.

BTW, my team is a perfect matchup vs Pistons. My 2 best defenders match up with his great overrated purples and I'm better everywhere else in the starting lineup. LJ is a new cog that will help him, but I may have help coming too.

I guess offering someone who averages 6 more ppg, and out rebounds your starting center at the 3 spot is pretty offensive. But what do i know ? |

The Kings have your pick and are in your division sir. Gotta figure it out soon. You've got talent for sure |

My biggest rival: I've never had a huge rival, in the old league I think I eliminated the Bucks 2 or 3 straight years. And started the Fuck Soundwave movement. But like Tray said it's now the Pistons
How we matchup: Well I beat him head to head in a 7 game series so there's that. I also beat him head to head for the GMOY, and I swear he's still not bitter about it.
How will the series go this year: I think we'll split 2-2 both winning at home, but that's no fun I'll take the regular season 3-1, he's still too focused on the Raptors.

Gotta focus on the threat in the division first. Don't worry, I'll focus long enough on you when the time comes. |

Well I know the rockets would love for me to say that they're my rivalry....BUT they aren't. They have to do something before they get the privilege of being name a rival of mine. I've won the conference and the division. The rockets have done nothing. The spurs have done nothing. And I allowed the Grizzlies to win it last season with my rebuild taking place. So that being said, I'd have to say my number one rival to me is the Golden State Warriors. They knocked me out in the first round two seasons ago and were the straw that broke the camel's back and forced me into my rebuild. That series loss was unexpected and devastating. So I would absolutely LOVE to meet them in the first round this year and get another crack at Kemp(no pun intended).
Unfortunately for the warriors I think they may have taken a step back from that dominant team they were last year and two years ago in the regular season. I think I match up with them very well. Obviously Kemp will most probably get his, but I don't see my team having a problem with Scott. I have very good perimeter defenders and I foresee lots of turnovers for Dennis Scott.
I will say I'll take the series 3-1, but wouldn't be surprised if we split. But regular season means nothing. I want him in the playoffs. I want him badly. I need my revenge.

Do teams without a prayer really get a rival?
I'll say fuck that guy who never gets his D/Cs in.
He's my rival. What team is that?
I think we all know who's gonna win that season series.

The Pacers don't have a rival. I think the way coltsguy runs his teams all the way back to PR league is a joke but that doesn't mean the Magic are my rival I don't enjoy beating them more than anyone else. We embrace equality in Indy.

Have you made your rival your bitch yet or are they taking it to you so far?
Split with my rival, but I am dominating the shit talking. He is a sand bagging son of a bitch that's too afraid to post something.
