SSBA

up

I went 3-3 and more analysis to come later, but MELO HAD 69 on me!!!, that's totally unacceptable

Charles Phelps continues to improve with his play and my team continues to play .500 ball.  A large improvement for me comparing to other seasons.  Hav got a selection to the all-star team meaning he's a top 2 PG in the east.  My defense was not good in 2 games mainly against Dwight Howard and the Melo incident.  I now have the dillemma of trying to make a move to get into the playoffs or stay the same and hope that my team can pull it off.

Went 4-4, didnt like the loss to Nuggs, but its about what ive expected, so i am satisfied
with this sim, Iggy is really suprising me with his play so im thinking and trying to find
him a starter place on this team, but then again he seems maybe to be better coming off
the bench....he came out big time in win over Jazz at Salt Lake with 39/8/5, one of best
perfomances overall in last seasons by any Blazer.

thats trully amazing, not just for Melo but for any player, even Yao or Dirk, its above limits.

i know, it's crazy, i couldn't believe it when i saw it.

i actually hate my team, -cause they-re all pretty much even always, nobody scores like 40, its always like 3-5 players with +- 20 points and frontcourt with 10-15 boards, its good, but i never saw any big numbers,
i like the fact i have depth now, but i want to see some player stepping out like some do on other teams damn  :lol:

Real good 5-3 sim, with losses @ Mavs, @Hornets, and at home vs. Warriors, then I beat them the next day in GS.

10 games over .500, and only a 1.8 pt differencial, speaks volumes to my team's success in close games.

Melo had a big sim, including the aforementioned 69 pt effort vs. the Hawks.

Only all-star was Melo, felt that Max maybe derserved the nod over Lord, but Lord is a dynamic scorer.

One great scorer does not bring you a title. I have 6 or 7 guys on my team who can score 20. That makes your team much more dangerous!

6-1 this sim and half of the games without JO and/or Marion
man i love my depth  :D
it seems that everyone can play next to artest and defend  :lol:

a short recap of the games:

PACERS 105 Nuggets 96 marion with 27/11; JO only played 20mins; with miller now here my passing and shooting really increased; team shot over 50%
PACERS 95 Raptors 98 my second homeloss of the season and i don´t care; JO went down with an injury so boozer could show some of his skills finishing with 18/10 great team play with 6 guys in double figures and artest my leading scorer with 18
Pacers 94 BULLS 87 wow can´t believe i can beat the bulls without marion and JO; Allen had 20, Artest 21 shot 56 from outside thanks to allen and artest
Pacers 96 CAVS 90 the second win without both of my leading scorers; again did it with great defense; this time boozer went nuts - had almost a triple double 23/21/9 that is an amazing game; miller joined him with 21/8 in 28mins before fouling out and Allen had 14/7; maybe they played with a chip because of the trade  :wink:
PACERS 104 Suns 90 still without marion but JO returned for 30/17/5 with 4 blks; boozer had 20/11 of the bench; miller 14/11 and 5 stls and ray played kobe almost even.

and now to the biggest game ever played in SSBA history:
PACERS 154 vs Celtics 119  :lol:
no this is no joke; my team scored 154 without an OT and recorded also 43 ass; the celtics had only 17!! i am not sure but maybe someone can check it out... 154 and 43 should be the best performance here in SSBA history
and for the blazers: no there was no man scoring 50 or something
this was perfekt teamplay....
JO 38 in 28mins...
marion 26/7/5 and 5 stls
boozer of the bench 25/16/5
artest 23/5/6 on shooting 11/18
rocky 16/4/12
miller 12/5/3
my team shot 63% from the field, 50% from outside ... great defense from the CELTICS  :twisted:
Pacers 114 SPURS 95 back to normal life; JO 32/9/5; marion 23/8/3;artest 20/6/6

only JO made the ALLstar game but as SF  :shock:  i never listed him there..

very nice sim of 7-1 :D

Al Roseau had a 7 blocks performance. too bad it was a losing effort to Amare and co. who simply schooled Dwight and the rest of the gang.

Agrobast was simply impressive as he steeped up into the struggling William Brice who was hobbled with fouls as Agrobast came up with a 16, 4 and 7.

Against the Hornets, Al Jefferson simply schooled Yao (I can live a life of dream), as he registered 20 and 8 as a backup.

Dwight had one of his best games with 43 and 12 as he stepped up into Brice's ridiculously abysmal being schooled by Joseph Gomes into a career-low 3 of 15 :D David Hollister also registered 10 rebound in 17 minutes.

Haha, oh my goodness. What a game ... and it's nice to be part of history here, no matter that i lost.

Absolutely, ultimately a flawless offensive performance from the Pacers. I take my hat off to this incredible display of scoring power
 :cheers:

EVERYONE was clicking at the same time, and the result was amazing. It sure did help matters that the Pacers hardly played any defense too - their all league D let me shoot 52%. Chauncey apparently was going 1 on 1 at Rocky all evening, while JO must have been delighted to foul out Stro in a few minutes to have some fun with Ivan the rest of the way. Also, Ron surely was a happy camper not having to follow Lenard through 500 screens but feasting on young - and overmatched - Schabinger this time.

A bit disappointed that Calvin let Booze off the line today. Carlos barely made noise against him this series so far, so that will have to be discussed.

Overall, a game for the record books, and again, props to the Pacers !!!


went 3-3 this sim with another disappointing loss to the Hawks who have my number this season. Phelps did nothing against Gino, yet I lost again. Too bad its too late to try starting Lenard AND Gino against them now (as the season series is over). You can lose to Magic and Pacers.

Beat Rockets, Knicks at home and Bulls away, which leaves me a healthy 7 games above .500 for the tougher first half of the season. Nice. And now lets attack ...

woow the east is scary

all the top teams only lost one game in this sim and the rest is also way over 500

one thing i don't like at all, and this won't go down without some action to be determined, is scoring 119 points on a mere 17 assists. What is this? A Highschool Allstar game with just 1-1 play?

Speaking of AllStar games. With Lenard, a sure East selection, injured, Celtics had no representatives in the actual games this weekend, but still came up with a big winner:
Chauncey took the 3pt shootout crown from Pettit, highlighting his very solid season so far (9 assists while lowering his TOs to 2.6 is all i look for)

it was nice to see Brice on the 3 point contest. Could have been better with him and profit :D

of course it is highschool ball. tell your coach to stop showcasing all the youngster who can´t pass.  :wink:

Well, a 5-2 sim this time, not bad...
First game with Jackson Finley starting was against the Suns, and there seemed to be some offensive issues in that game, as well as some defensive ones.

Both Finley's played well in their new roles, and I will give them another sim or two to settle into a rhythm.  Jackson Finley is a very effecient scorer (46%) from the center position on this squad, and his rebounding was excellent (11.7 rpg in 32 mpg)

Only worry is the defense.  Jim Finley gets about 1.5 spg and 1
5 bpg, and Jackson cannot match that.  

And Congratulations Dirk, on receiving the All-Star MVP Award.
And also to Kirk Hinrich, on his 2nd All-Star game appearance.

Preston Barbosa got robbed in the Slam Dunk competition!!!   :D

BTW, Eddie Uner has snuck up and truly become one of the better point guards in the elague.

And just a curiosity...
Dirk Nowitzki, in my mind, is definitely an MVP candidate.
Leading the league is scoring by 6 ppg,shooting 50% from the field, and he is averaging 7.7 rpg and 4 apg from the small forward position.  His defense is not stellar (1.2 spg and 0.9 bpg), but he has not even won a player of the week award yet...
Conspiracy????   :o

3-4 sim but loss twice to the Hornets - both games by 1 point.  Loss to the Pacers in the final game but without my starting PF/2nd option Kim who was down 2 1/2 games.  Other loss was to the Mavs.  Beat teh Knicks, Sonics & Nuggets

Big news was the player of the week honors for PG Eddie Uner who has been amazing all year.  First time ever for a Spurs player.  Uner was also a member of the west All-Star team (again a Spurs first) and split the PG duties with Hinrich.

no that is just a sign of a great team... if i am right the clippers have also troubles to get such awards.

Weird. Looking at some of the players who have won player of the week (Khoury for example), Dirk should have a few.

Hell, this last week, Carmelo had back to back games of 69 and 51 points, and Dwight Howard takes the award.

I had another very nice sim, but was disappointed that Shaun didn't make the AS team.  :evil:

Wow...just realized that Gasol went out in game 1 without contributing in that game.

In what will be my toughest sim of the year, I went 5-3 without Gasol.

That is because I moved Gordon to SG.  :shock:   :lol:  Anyway, Uner deserves that spot as well.

I don't have many awards and records... but I do have a title. And that is what we play for right?! :D

BTW, Kings of the Rebound? Take a look at Chandler and Brand in the all star game. A combined 26 rebounds in a combined 58 minutes!

Neither Emeka or Pettit have ever won a player of the month.

Heck, Emeka has 7 POTW and Pettit 6.  In their careers.  That's less than 1 POTW/year.

At least you team held him below 81. :bash:

Our record so far is only 73... Looks like some players have some work to do ;)

Well, they suck then...  You should trade them  8)
Only 10 POTW for Dirk in his career.

But Since Yao has 24 (an entire year season's worth), and Garnett has an amazing 39!!!, well, there are not that many to go around...

Telf has 1  :lol:
