SSBA

Wow.

Can't remember the last time I didn't lead the atlantic.

With Brice and Howard playing out of their minds, Orlando's record isn't so surprising.

my experiment turned out pretty bad. Schabinger may be a star in the making but he is no starter now.

Only went 2-3 this sim with truly forgettable home losses to Wiz and Blazers and a Warriors knockout allowing 52% shooting ... only to come back home and putting a rare loss on the hornets holding them to 36%.

Lenard is back to his 2011 form even registering a game with 4 blocks.

Back to the more efficient lineup next sim ...
 :?

very happy with my sim, Kaman was out for 4 days of it but the move of Jones to PG was excellent, he gives me an awesome assist to turnover ratio and improves the scoring of everyone around me. Kirilenko had 2 triple doubles this sim and has been close numerous times this season to others. Hughes broke out for 42 in a game and brought his average up and then almost had a triple double of his own. If Kirilenko keeps this up, hopefully we'll see him as a player of the week/month soon.

The Hawks with yet another winless sim.  My rookie Charles Phelps stepped in at the starting SG this sim and performed well averaging 17pts, 8.4 rebs, 5 asts, 2 stls per game.  I've always like this kid, he can rebound from the 2 guard spot and he can score with decent percentages.  I think in a few seasons he could be a very effective guard alongside Hav.  He will need a few tc's to do so but I'm optimistic with him.

Damn, i went bad more or less, i made few changes, but all my losses except 1 were by few
points and to powerhouses so ill give this tactics another try to see, i also noticed that
 almost all of the players raised their avgs, it seems the tactics are only problem cause they play great but
somehow and for some reason some games are lost.


Telf seems to be drunk this sim, never saw so many TOs

@ Celtics 116-111 Shultz with 30, Telf with 28/16 4 steals and htht 7 TOs

vs Wolves 98-104 Shultz 25/7, others pretty even stats but bench miserable.

@ Clippers 94-115 Buehler 19/12, Telf with 15/7/6 and record 12 TOs WTF

vs Spurs 112-87 Houbregs with career high 40, Telf 28/7/10 3 steals and blocks and 7 TOs
AGAIN, Schultz added 24/5/9, Haywood a nice presence under boards as usual wityh 17 rebs.

vs Sonics 81-114 The worst defeat in a long time.

@ Jazz 122-124 8 players with over 10 points, Shultz leading with 31, nice rebounding,
Hayman 11, Finley 17 and Buehler 15 boards.

Very weird sim.

Well, 7-1 sim, with a single loss to the Heat.

My big three have been awesom so far this year.  Dirk is unbelievable so far this year, scoring at an incredible rate.  Best offense of his career so far.

Luol deng has carried over his great offensive performance from last year, and has just added 1.5 rpg to his repetoire.

Kirk's 3pt shooting is off, but his FG% is 48%, great for a PG.  

Ruffin is continuing his great defensive performances, and Finley is playing quite nicely at center...

But Dirk at 38.6 ppg... how could he not be the player of the month?

So much better. oPPG drops a whole 5 over 6 games. Can;t believe the Magic right now.

Tied for 6th in the East, I'll take it. Only 1 home loss so far, so if I can get a top 4 finish, that might be good.

Melo still #2 in ppg.

So happy with this team right now. 4-2 sim, but one loss comes without Gasol.

game by game breakdown before stats are crunched:

Bucks 107 Raptors 87 -- Bad way to start a sim. 1-14 from 3 certainly didn't help the cause at all. Melo had 28, and Max had his first career triple double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Congrats, Max!! Gasol left after 5 minutes, so both losses were without my 2nd leading scorer and starting PF.

Raptors 103 Sixers 89 -- Melo exploded for 39 points. Childress is an amazing player, he had 12 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists from the SG position. Simply amazing. Good all around game.

Raptors 108 Jazz 79 -- Big win. Melo had 34 on 13-23 shooting. Garcia had a career game, getting 22 points, 18 rebounds. Amazing. Childress chipped in 16 points and 12 rebounds....and Max had 13 points and 12 assists. Great.

Wolves 108 Raptors 106 -- Ahh, heartbreaker. Up by 4 going into the 4th Q too. Played with just a 7 man rotation. Max had a huge game with 26 points, 13 assists, 7 rebounds. Melo added 27 and 10. KG simply ate up Garcia though.

Raptors 97 Nuggets 76 -- Another great defensive performance. Melo had 33 and 8 to lead the way. Max had 20, 7 and 4. Held Berk to just 9 points, and Butler to just 7. Wow.

Raptors 88 Heat 83 -- Needed this win, as this could have been a major let-down. Gasol came back strong from injury, getting 25 and 13. Melo was held to just 14 points by Qrich, a C+ defender? Wow.

8-0

this was the best sim ever i had as a gm.
some really amazing facts:

scored an avg. of 110 points and only allowed 91
no position could shoot more than 40% against my team
hold the opp. under 40% from the field and under 30% from outside
JO had his usual .... 33/13/4 with 2blks and shooting over 50%
Marion with a solid allaround game .... 24/10/3 with 2stls
Artest with maybe the best sim of his life as an third option....
20/7/4 shooting 50% from the field
rocky increased his ass avg. by more than 1 and hold the opp. pgs under 35% from the field and 25% from outside (such guys like: butler, harris and perry)

this sim i had plus differentials in points +19, rebounds +8, ass +6, stls +2 and took 8 more FTs

thanks.:D I really like how this modern days Stockton-malone has performed :D


my only lost came from the suns.

quick recap. had 5 player scoring double figures on the 1st game.

Elton schooled Dwight with a 31, 17 performance. bull crap :D

had one of my best game against the nets. perhaps my 1st win on them for a while now. :D Okafor was just too much a force for Dwight with Emeka blocking 5 of Dwight's shots. (Dwight getting schooled). What impressed me is that I had 3 players who had double double on points and rebounding against the Nets. Too sad that Lincoln schooled William.

Al Roseau had one of his best game with a 12, 12 and 6 blocks against the Memphis. :D

A lackluster performance from my boys caused a loss agains the Suns. Kobe pretty muched schooled my Profit:D with only Dwight coming into the game bringing his shoes with a 37 and 16 performance.

A 1point win against the Sixers is just unjustifiable.. :D

Some interesting observations:

Old man Booth still has got it, getting 9rpg, 2bpg as starter holding down young (Maggette) and old (Yao). Together with backup Etan Thomas (12rpg, 1.4 blocks) they give me all i need at C

Lenard was just great. 30ppg on 50% shooting, even holding down arch rival Vlad to 1-9 shooting (and Dirk to 16-30  *lol*)

Surprise: Billups apparently still wanting to be option: 17ppg, 7apg with 1.5 TOs (great !!!) on 62% shooting (55% from beyond the 3pt line)

And Manu has earned a starting spot too. 8ppg on 61% shooting with great defense will give him the nod at SG again.

btw, if anyone cares. the best highschool player last year will likely get his NBA debut this sim with my man Hollister down.

wow my schedule is crazy i will play almost 50 games till the ALLstar game but none will be against the nets.
maybe there is some fear.... :lol:

Crapped the bed again.  Scrapping the Odom at center experiment.  Butler hasn't played anywhere near last year's level.  Disappointing season all around thus far.

Disappointing 2-7 sim.  Lost a couple of close ones....only 2 wins were at the Suns expense.  Tried having both PF & C as options and it seems to clog the lane too much.  I need to figure out my big man rotation and who will be my 2nd & 3rd options.

Only bright spots were that making Russell a non-option seems to improve his game and Uner continued his solid play at PG.

Mavs are leading the midwest division since we traded Dirk away.

That was 4 seasons ago...  Why mention it?

I'm going down, down, down.

Forston experiment failed.

Here is another segment of Stat Central, with your host: trevc3!!

C: Robert Swift: 37.3mpg, 10ppg, 10.2rpg, 2.7apg, 0.8bpg, 1.7spg, 3.2topg, (4.2FGMpg, 9.8FGApg = 42.3%)

This sim's ranking: B+ ... Those turnover numbers are atrocious....but on the other hand, it's nice to know that when my starting C can stay on the floor, he is good for a double double with decent assist and great steal numbers. But 3.2 turnovers is amazingly high for Swift.

PF: Pau Gasol: 23mpg, 14ppg, 7.5rpg, 2apg, 0.5bpg, 1.5spg, 1.5topg, (6FGMpg, 11.5FGApg = 52.2%)

This sim's ranking:A ... Played just 5 minutes in the first game of the sim, and played full mins in the last game, leading us to victory. His stats could be confused with some amazing numbers off the bench.

Reserve PF/C: Leo Garcia: 37.7mpg, 10.7ppg, 11rpg, 2.8apg, 1bpg, 1.5spg, 2.8topg, (5.2FGMpg, 9.8FGApg = 53.1%)

This sim's ranking: A ... Again, turnovers galore....but still, filling in for an injured Gasol Garcia averaged 12 and 12 in his starts, wth 3.5apg and 2.2spg...this are fantastic numbers and just shed light on how bright the future of the Raptors organization is with Garcia expected to be the future starting PF.

SF: Carmelo Anthony: 41.8mpg, 29.2ppg, 7rpg, 2.8apg, 0.2bpg, 1spg, 4topg, (11.2FGMpg, 25.7FGApg = 43.4%)

This sim's ranking: B- ... Terrible percentage, scoring way down and poor turnovers....but still helped the team win without the other star....tough to get too down on him.

SG: Josh Childress: 40.3mpg, 13.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 3.2apg, 0.7bpg, 2.2spg, 1.3topg, (4.7FGMpg, 10.5FGApg = 44.8%)

This sim's ranking: A+ ... I don't give out A+'s for no reason...but when you starting SG averages a double-double, that's A+ material. Plus, good steals, turnover and percentage numbers. Chills is the real deal.

PG: Max Guiterrez: 38.5mpg, 17.2ppg, 6.3rpg, 8.8apg, 0.2bpg, 0.3spg, 1.2topg, (6.5FGMpg, 12FGApg = 54.2%)

This sim's ranking: A+ ... Wow, amazing. 17, 9 and 6 with 1 turnover per game. This kid is going to be the best PG in the league, book it.

Celts played spoiler to my perfect sim, but 6-1 ain't bad. I'm very happy with everything right now. My only thought is that my large amount of home games thus far might be inflating my win rating. Anyway, how can anyone complain about being 17-4?

Because we want to put up another banner.  Like the one below.

Hmmm very interesting comment...
maybe lincoln will suddenly decide that he wants to play baseball  :?:
or brice is going to retire after all this 20/10 games  :roll:

Reminds me of the Sonics' claim about English last year...

Magics will claim that Brice is the best pg in the league next year.  You heard it here first.

Yeah, the # of great pg's in this league is very high.

Livingston, Brice, Alphonse Butler, English, Lord, Max, Hinrich.

If Earl Boykins were still starting, you could probably make a case for him too.

There's just a ton right around the same level.

Bibby!!!!!!!!!















 :)

Brice has C potential, and has B- defense.

Lincoln has B potential B potentail.

I said Max is GOING to be the best. Maybe next time instead of rolling your eyes you could do some research.

And i'm GOING to regret that trade, if not already :?

man i can´t believe how often the magic can do this trick. brice is b- at SG at PG he is b+
maybe it is not me who should do his homework???
there is no reason to believe that he can´t improve anymore.

I was supposed to :D

but probably not. since Brice's natural position at 2. but seems to be playing better at 1. :D
