SSBA

Has probably been delayed until friday.  There's a slight chance I get it done this afternoon, but don't expect it.

Since we might have a looooooong wait for sim 12 we could as well start the sim discussion meanwhile.

Magic currently hold the 6th spot, just a tiny game ahead of the Heat (make that 1.1 games since i won the season series) and another one (make that 1.9) ahead of the Wiz.

Having the worst schedule among those I could end up 7th or 8th in a hurry. Celts have to play @Hornets, Nets, Raptors and Knicks and entertain the Magic and Pistons. It's no reach to see me going 2-4 or even 1-5. Tough sched to end the year.

Heat travel to Grizz, Suns, Wizards and Kings and have the Hawks at home. Expect them to go 2-3, maybe 1-4
Wizards travel to Raptors twice and Sixers whild holding court to Bulls, Pistons, Heat and Cavs. Anything less than 5-2 would be a major surprise.

So combining those results the Wiz move to 6th and face the Raptors while the Celtics at #7 go up against the Hornets (who I see winning the remaining 4 games and win the Central). That leaves the Nets for the Heat, as mentioned before not something they wanted to avoid completely ...


So, and who advances then? Wait, wait, we'll see. Making baby steps sometimes get you ahead too ...

Damn, I was looking forward to spending the morning looking at the stats.

I really wanted to have the time between the last sim and the playoffs to determine how best to make my lineup, but I guess I can do that in a day.

Will the Jazz hold on to their very volatile playoff spot.....could be out for the first time, but I end all of my games at home, so I predict a yes.

Any idea what time the sim will be Bods?

up.

BTW, you can change your IL's for the first round of the playoffs.  I simmed up until the playoffs, saved, proceeded to the playoffs, output the html, but the save's still back after the last day of the regular season, so IL changes can be made.

Ugh, terrible 3-5 sim, and now have to face one of the Hottest teams in the Heat.

yuhu....im starting to pray for a lotto, next season expect big things from Blazers, Hoffa
im sure next season will be 35/15 guy how his stats went up since he joined and with a good
rookie addition im ready baby.

Went 5-3 this sim, i could regret the CPU 3-5 last sim that took me out of playoffs, but i
like this lotto possibility more this season.

Sonics 109-105 Hoffa 37/20 2blk,Telf 22/6/13 3stl, Cunningham posted nice number 11/13
after coming back to the team after a long time.

BUEHLER seems to not handle SF position as he does PF.

Cavs 126-109 Hoffa destroyed cavs with his 2nd 51p game at Portland + 7r and 3blk,
Tsakalidis added 17/11, Telf did his job with 12 assists and 4 steals.

@Lakers 103-83 Hoffa 35/15 3stl, Houbregs 25/7 showed few lessons to the bollywood guys.

Pistons 99-96 Hoffa 20/10 in 26mins, Telf 17/9 10 STEALS ! thats sick.

Lakers 110-76 Hoffa 36/12 3blk, Buehler 17/11 4 blk, Houbregs despite his poor D rating
did great job on Wade.

@Pacers 83-115 Hoffa 25/15 only worth mentioning in the demolition by Pacers.

@Suns 81-114 Another demolition, but without Hoffa and away so it was no suprise, Cunny
stepped in fine with 18/11, Buehler did well with 14/15 but they couldnt do more.

Grizzlies 91-106 Houbregs 27 lead all scorers but team was shooting miserable.

LETS GO FOR A TOP 5 PICK PLEASE !

P.S  :lol: Hoffa was named POTW and POTM,as wel AL2nd  :lol:

Pettit didn't win one post season award, and Brice was 1st team all-ssba at SG

 :shock:

This program seriously gives Pettit no love.

I have no idea whats going on here ...

Must have happened last DC:
http://ssba.phillyarena.net/boxes/101-1.html

And, since it wasn't bolded, I didn't look to change it.

It's fixed (well, for the playoffs, at least.  Obviously can't go back and retroactively fix a mistake).

Yes, of course I wanted to put my best scorer, a SF, to backup PF where he's a C+ defender, in the most important sim of the season.

Yes of course I wanted to start a C defender in his place at SF

Yes of course I was well aware that losing the seedings battle with the Wizards would result in having to face the Nets in round 1 (as i had posted earlier)


Plan worked, assured the 8th seed on behalf of losing the season series to the Wiz. Will now have a chance to entertain the team that won more games in the last 2 than the Celtics won in the last 5 seasons. I just hope it's not too late to pick up a starting C from FA before the playoffs, as Etan Thomas seems more suited to backup PG.

Ivan Strong hasn't seen a DC spot at backup SF or backup PF, let alone starter, since SIM6. Strange thing.

But my fault that I haven't noticed Strong suddenly played a prominent role in my linup. Since Lenard was listed SF for half of the sim11 games it wasn't obvious to me.

Wasn't trying to say it was you.  I obviously screwed up.  Mea culpa.

Don't worry. Shit happens.  :wink:


But anyway, to get to the top you have to beat the best. And looking at the season series i'm not sure anymore the Hornets are a better matchup for me than the Nets.

Went 2-2 against the 65win team, both win by 15 or more at home (against a depleted Nets team), both losses by 3 or less on the road (against a complete Nets team).

Damnit Yao, you better not choke in the playoffs like so many Hornets have in the past...

Never led me past the ECF, even with that dream team I had going on for a while.

TD missed out on the All-League teams, Tmac just 2nd team behind PG Brice, undrafted C McAllister all rookie first team. Plus Baron Davis, Rocky Elliott and Chills on the all-defensive teams.

Guess the selection commitee met in an Irish pub again ...
 :shock:

I agree, those guys just love :bods:

Three of my guys made the all rookie second team, and Adams would have made the first team if he was listed at center. So now my two lottery picks look to be 6th and 7th. Not bad. Who knows, maybe one of them could end up being top three.

meh, how did Brice make the SG when he is playing PG?

anyway, this season has probably be the most fruitful season for the magic. Finishing with a decent record, and 3 player awards. :D

Because he's listed as the SG on your team roster.

How the fuck does Carmelo get passed over by Kirelnko and Richardosn? for all league 2nd and 3rd teams? Brutal.

And Dirk should have been MVP.

Chills gets second team defense, awesome.

oh ok. :D

Ugh, not at all impressed by this sim.

Wizards 106 Raptors 88 -- Terrible D by Gasol on Barner. Melo had 28 points. Shot just 38%.

Wizards 81 Raptors 80 - Argh. Frusterating inability to score, 35% from the floor. Melo had 24 and 10, as the only bright spot.

Nets 104 Raptors 96 -- Only 8 points, makes me think I might be able to beat them next year or the year after.

Raptors 93 Sonics 90 -- Melo with 27 and 17 to lead the way. Max another POTG.

Raptors 89 Bulls 77 -- Great defense. Gasol with 16 and 20.

Nets 104 Raptors 97 -- Only 7 points this time.

Raptors 101 Spurs 83 -- Swift had 19 rebounds, team shot 43%.

Celtics 86 Raptors 84 -- Frusterating again. Gasol had 21 and 15.

wow a nice 4-1 sim... but i was already expecting this....the 3 wins are against teams below .500 , a win to a playoff team and loss to the kings....

im impressed with my teams defense....shultz, bradmiller and haywood are playing great...richardson playing extra good....khoury his usual numbers... maybe this team is good enough to reach the second round of the playoffs...i can only hope  :lol:

too bad for the celtcs.. he really wanted to avoid the nets... i guess your prediction is a bust..

you were in a hurry making this report ???

Exactly, i didn't forsee that (except you finishing 6th). But the Nets are ok, Hornets would have been a terrible matchup too.

it doesnt matter no ? important is to go all the way, i personally dont care if i lose 1st round or finals as long as the ring its not in my possession it doesnt matter, you have to play Nets, Hornets or whatever sometime.

We're ready for the title. That's all i can say

ahhh, you made me laugh again, stop it  :lol:

Mind your own (and invite Celts as well) lottery bussines.

I do, we-re(me and celts) already doing some Macumba stuff on your team so dont expect big things  :lol:

Where's yours? ;)

And I don't have much time for 3-5 sims right before the playoffs. Decided to focus on DJSL sim isntead :D

its what ive tought :P

good luck in PO btw  8)

Woohoo, finally I can update my Sig. :cheers:

Big time comedy again.

First await the MONNNNSTER Wolves, tying the Kings 2-2 in the regular season. If (big IF) they climb that hill, most likely the Warriors await them, who also tied 2-2 for the season (including a 2pt loss and 5pt loss at Sacto, one without Dirk).

I doubt we have to look any further. The early guess on the next TD injury is day 133 btw. (hey that guy is 34, give him a break).


And Ivan, poor boy, i'm currently as far as you are this season, without any superstar. And SORRY to whoever holds my pick, non-lotto in this draft is just bad, bad luck ...
 8)

Everyone's healthy for the playoffs, mission acomplished.

Went 6-2 with the loss against the Pacers (without Bibby) and a Clippers (almost won without Bibby & Mcgrady).

Tinsley stepped up big replacing Bibby almost the entire sim and Andre Igoudala is just a all round monster!

*106 - 78 W vs the Rockets: TD with 30pts, 3b and 19rebs, Iggy with 20pts, 8as, 11rebs.
*90 - 73 W against the Bulls: TD 24pts, 7blocks, 13rebs, 5as & Iggy with 20pts and 7as and Joe Smith with his biggest game as a King with 16pts and 10rebs. Tinsley with strong game as well: 4pts, 2st, 7a, 9rebs.
*111 - 85 W vs the Lakers: Tmac came back and immidietly went for 44pts, 7a, 7rebs. Off course, Duncan with monstrous 26pts, 8blocks, 4a, 18rebs. When healthy, this guy is still #2 in the league. Iggy with usual 18/6/7 and Tinsley dished out 12asists.
*106 - 96 W vs the Grizz. Tmac with nice 35/6/5, TD 29/20, Tinsley 14/14 and Iggy 11/4/9.
*119 - 98 back to back W against the Grizz again. Tmac 38pts, TD 32pts, 12rebs, Iggy 15pts, 6as, 8rebs and Bibby came back from an injurie andhad a nice 13pts, 11as game.
*108 - 98 W against the hot Heat team. Tracy 35pts, 6a, 7rebs, Duncan 30pts, 10rebs and 4blocks, Iggy with another solid 16pts, 4as, 4rebs game to seal the deal.

And as far as League All Team -...............what the f?? Who the hell is Birce?? Tmac & Duncan & Pettit got completely robbed!!! Complete nonsense!

Thank you.

Get back to me on that PM I sent you, too.

Commish, i think you made some minor mistakes with my DC as well. Joe Johnson was supposed to get some burn, i had him as 2nd backup to Mcgrady and 3rd SF backup as well but he wasn't playing at all.

I wanted to see is he any good.

You don't need to play him to find out because I know, and thus can tell you, that he sucks!  :rrofl:

 :)

Oh man, I feel bad for you. It must be a tough life being the Kings GM and never getting through those damn playoffs. But at least you have something everyone will remember you by: The Most Powerfull Duo In History Of The SSBA That Never Won Anything aka TMac & TD!
