Sim 12 up.

Congrats to Emeka for his 2nd straight DPOY (and 3rd of his career), and to Pettit for his 1st team all-nba selection.

I tied my best record ever, going 66-16.  Last 3 years: 197-49 (.801 winning %)

nice, and here we go vs the bastard Kings, they won't be Kings for a long time  :sw:

100% healthy for the playoffs!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHIED!!!

YES! :)

bLAZERS, your wish come true. :lol:

yeah it did "b...h"  :lol:    :D

The beautiful thing about winning the #1 seed is the Hornets and Pacers are on the other side of the conference :)

Man, the Celtics lost ANOTHER tiebreaker. That really sucks.

ei...guys i wasnt able to log on to the internet last night so i wasnt able to set my DC...last night my internet connection wasnt working...can i still redo my DC?? i need q rich back from the IL

And i have NO IDEA how KG ended up in the first team selections. He didn't even make the playoffs!

Well I didn't make the playoffs, which is fine with me... 8)
My pick jumped from like 12th to 7th this last sim. Maybe I can even get some lottery luck...
Congrats to Hornick who make the all-rookie team and Strait who made the second team.

3-4, played 6 games without top scorer Russell, finally in PO's, 41-41 (like i predicted hehe), Russell back for PO's,
soph Buehler All-Defensive 2nd 2 years in a row, not a bad thing for 26mpg sub/starter sophomore.

Congratulations to Yao on his 4th STRAIGHT MOST VALUABLE PLAYER AWARD!

Poor 3-4 sim but managed to hold onto homecourt. Interesting matchup with the Heat, Yao vs. Duncan.

Yao vs. Duncan
Jeferson vs. Tskalidis
Dickau vs. QRich
Perry vs. JRich
Max vs. Khoury

Season Series: 2-2


Day 1: Heat 95 Raptors 85 - Ray and Duncan had their way with Holman and Pietrus, neither of whom starts anymore.

Day 14: Raptors 116 Heat 96 - Yao and Duncan traded blows, but my team had the depth to eke it out.

Day 66: Heat 100 Raptors 89 - Finally see the Duncan at C, vs. Yao matchup. Altough I fully expect the Heat to start Duncan at PF for our series.

Day 84: Raptors 98 Heat 91 - Duncan could not handle Yao and was completely shut down, but the rest of his team played very good. Outscored him by 19 in the 4th Q.

OH dude, that really sucks, but unfortnatly I don't think there is any possible way unless Bods redoes the whole sim.

huh? i wasnt aware of that last two season...was that a new rule? a new update of FBB?

3-5. My oPPG rose nearly a full point that sim.
Wallace means so much to my team, at this point I feel I will be lucky to get out of the 1st round. However, I am 4-0 against the Magic this season.
Maybe a 1st round series can go 7 games and Wallace will make it back for the 2nd round.

My pick is currently #5 in the draft, so that's definitely a plus.

 :D

This happened last season, and there is no way to change it. It is FBB's rule, not Bods's.

i wanna say nice Job to the celtics... you made me proud  :D  your pick is now not that valuable.... a 7-3 run... a perfect way to end the season  :lol:

this sucks.

the injury filled season ended ... with some more injuries (that probably cost me the playoffs).

After doing everything that's possible, beating Sonics, Hornets and Clippers on the road, and Suns, my backup C Booth went down. Great. I lost to Yao (when C Borchardt of all people now had to play 30min against him) and to the Wolves. The final win over the Raptors - again on the road - just showed what might have been possible.

ONE DAMN WIN MORE and i'm in. Depressing.
(somehow i hear a deep sigh of relief out of swampland)


This team will stay together and get another chance to show it is a top 4 team in this conference (i choose to ignore the laughters from Pacers and Kings here). 2012 here we come ...

 :cry:

What about Blaze laugh  :lol:


joke  8)

If only the All-star game wasn't resimmed (Jonas was invited) and he wasn't injured for a lot of days, I could have 2 ROY players in my team (bolinger and him) :D

Anyway, this sim has been a learning experience for my team. Im looking to sign the guys whom I signed with the minimum and did step up in the loss of my key backcourt player. It was trully a blessing in disguise that Bolinger and Jonas did get injured.

Could not have asked for a better regular season...
Wsetern Conference Champions!!! Except for the Final game (come on, Hinrich really gets injured in the last game of the season...  In a game that does not matter.)

Dirk wins the player of the month award.

Dirk and Hinrich both are 1st team all league selections.  Congratulations guys!!!!

Don Ruffin is a 1st team all-defensive player.  Well Done!!!

Worst fear comes true, though.  Kirk Hinrich is out for the entire first round of the playoffs, 10 days with broken ribs.

Just an announcement, QRich will be suiting up.

Nice. Too bad for the Raps though.  :P

Eh, I wouldn't want it any other way. Failed internet connection should never make that big of a difference,

Best part is i avoid Yao or TD. Have some fun with them nets.

Nobody told you to play Borchardt.... :wink:
Yea it is always one win here or there and it could be blabla...  8)
If your team ever loose a game with out any ifs???
A top 4 team in your division maybe but in the conference yea that is worth some laughters...

As i said, simply ignoring it ...

But it will be great fun to toy around with the Pacers next year and take that 2nd seed back where i feel it belongs. Oh, did i say 2nd seed? Correct that to 2nd best record. Forgot the 2nd seed is impossible cause our division provides the perennial top seed in the East for some time now ...
 :lol:

And remember my words:
Wiz are hard to beat with that schedule, Cavs will drop big time, Pistons actually try to lose it, and Bucks are hard to catch without tiebreaker advantage.

True.True.True.True. F..k.

But i sure didn't count on beating the Hornets, Raps and Clips away ...

to whom do we send the dcs?

how many POs did you play here  :wink:
As usual to bods.

just wanted to type something :D

anyway, since I'm at it.. I hate my mathcup with the Hornets. :?

Wanna give it to me?
 :wink:

yes. :oops:

bods, we need a trade exception:
Celtics trade the complete lineup to the Magic for their complete lineup. We need actually 2 exceptions, one to do the deal NOW and the other for the 41mio salary differential. I tried to make that up with veteran FA signings but it proved to be almost impossible ...

Believe me, i don't care if i'm located in Beantown or DisneyWorld, as long as i get some playoff action ...
 8)

YEA try to avoid me  :wink:

:D

btw, bods, not that I want to pester you, but I was wondering when the player contract extensions will be released?

Now can you ever stop with this?

Just to keep things in perspective, on day 103 (right before Stro came back) i lost to the Wiz at home, scoring 10 in the 4th, shooting 31% for the game (21% in the 4th) and lost by 5. I win and i finish 7th and travel to Indy for some extra fun.

If i were you i'd frame this box score and put it on the wall as a reminder WHY you were able to get to the Conf Finals this year:
http://ssba.phillyarena.net/boxes/103-1.html


 :wink:

They are without Big Ben, you know?

for the majority of it.. if the game lasts until game 6 at least, I think her'll have him back.. but then, the series will then be done however. with the magic winning it 4-1... :D j/k

good luck to all playoff teams...  :!:

Miami, you'll need it :D

Well, not hinking much of my chances with Hinrich out.
Daniel Holt is going to have to come up very, very big from the PG spot, and I do not think he is ready...

HEY IVAN, TAKE A LOOK !

That's how you deal with adversity, with some casualty, not the constant whining of the Kings and Celtics ...
 :)

Bu, the team is confident...  At least Dirk is.
Dirk really found his rhythm at the end of the season, and if he can continue his amazing play, the Warriors have a shot, even with their heart and soul injured on a cheap shot by Billy Snodgrass (watch out Billy!!!)

And, it should be interesting to see how Luol Deng will play as a 2nd option to Dirk.  Deng has been brilliant offensively this year (48% shooting), so if he can step up his game, that would be very, very nice.

If Holt can get about 8 apg, and continue shooting well like he did during the regular season, that would be all that is necessary.

In this series, Hinrich's defense will be sorely missed.  He held Harris to 27% shooting in the 4 games they played against each other, and Harris had a less then 2:1 a:to ratio.

I hope you taught your protege well...

On a non-playoff note, the Hawks finish the season with a 5-3 sim, and we set a team record for wins in a season.  the way I look at it, any improvement is good.  We will try and keep the team together by re-signing Kobe, Traylor and Dampier (barring retirement) to see if we can't make more of an improvement and make the playoffs next season.

wow that is a big loss not only loosing one of your best defender but without anyone as a third option as well. Bron against Dirk will be exiting but without kirk harris will have some big games.
Could be that the mavs are up for a sensation  :wink:

Third option???
Who needs a third option?   :D

The old gameplan was to put Nowitzki in the high post, and run a perimeter pick (Ruffin) for Hinrich, and to also have a post pick (Finley) for Deng.
This gave Nowitzki the option of taking his man down low, taking the shot from the high post, or passing to either Deng or Hinrich.

Either that, or we ran a double pick to get Nowitzki free on the perimeter, and had Deng flash to the post, while Hinrich passed to the open man, or took his own shot.
 
Now, the Warriors will be altering their strategy.

Dirk will stay in the high post with the ball (where he is most effective), but the Warriors will either run a double pick to get Deng free, or will post Deng up on the inside.

The old double pick to free Nowitzki play will still work, but teams will likely sag off of Holt, to double Nowitzki.  Holt will have to make the open looks he will get from double teams on Nowitzki.

If Dirk can average what he was averaging for the end of the season (about 40 ppg), and Deng can bump up to about 25 ppg, as long as Holt can get about 10 ppg, the offense will be OK...

My matchup with the Clippers should be a helluva series.  During the year, they beat me by 9, 1, and 1, and I beat them by 7.  So through 4 games this year, we're only separated by 4 total points.  And all 4 games came in the second half of the year, which is when my team crapped the bed.  It will be interesting to see what transpires.

Finished up with a 2-4 sim to end up ninth in the West again....and one of 6 teams in the league that finished 36-46.  Had a couple small injuries during the sim that played havoc with my lineups.  Played 5 of the final 6 on the road losing the first two games by a total of 8 points.  Then won two games but once the team was officially eliminated they mailed in the final two days of the season.

But with the entire team under age 30 the Spurs are looking forward to healing over the offseason and coming to TC ready to improve.

No, that's not how i deal with it. I would probably smash my entire PC.

I have the same record as the Blazers and Jazz but somehow I'm the 8th seed. :x .  Never played well against the Warriors, I think my team match up better against the Kings or Grizz.

you lost the season series 1-3 to both, what you expect ?

I'd still like to find out how FBB breaks a tied season series or a 3-way tie where it's not clear who won the seaosn series. This is completely undocumented ...

FBB probably does it like in real NBA i believe

I doubt that since the NBA goes by conference record in case of a tied season series, and FBB does not. I guess it does a tiebreaker draw.

We're having this conversations every time comes playoff time. And we always forgot the right answer. :)

'cause there's no answer  :idea:
