SSBA

Lost about half the boxscores from Sim 11 though, oops.

Playoffs:
http://rosters.ssbabasketball.com/playoffs.htm

Well, I sneeked into the playoffs with a pretty strong 4-2 finish!

However, if I win even 1 game vs Dallas I will be surprised. Man that backcourt is good!

3-4, cant say im too happy, after holding #2 all season we ended up #4 in last sim but still i really wanted to
avoid playing Clipps and Wolves so this is fine in my attempt to finally pass round 1, hopefully we'll make it.

Too bad we're pretty weak at C but if we pass rd1 Cunningham will be back.

Sim started with a nice perfomances by Hoffa 44/16 and Telf 14/5/17 in win over Sonics.

Then we played our next opponent in PO's, after 3-0 Grizzlies won our final one by 3. Hoffa a weird 19/18 5blk 9to's
game.

Got completely demolished by Sixers, Hoffa again with a large number of TO's, 8 this time.

He dropped 30/15 on Rockets next one.

THEN CAME OUR SECOND LOSS to KINGS, JESUS CHRIST how's that possible.

Finally win over Wolves and loss to Warriors to finish this season.

and NO awards for Blazers this season :(

Shane Wedge all leagues 3rd ?? how ? why ?

lost another 4 straight to start the sim, in danger of dropping to 8th seed, before we won the last two and sneaked to the 5th seed. If that is a good thing or not we'll see. Would have preferred to drop to 7 and both get the Sixers and avoid the upper bracket.

Fact is, the Celtics are playing unbelievable lousy ball as of late and we need to regroup to even take one game from the Pacers, who get RonRon back for the first game as well (but will miss Tanner for the first two)

Let the real season begin ...
 :cheers:

Won all three games to finish the season 56-26.  Heading into the playoffs with a 11 game winning streaks. :cheers:

Ugh. I'm really disappointed, the fellas limped down the stretch with a 1-4 record and actually missed the playoffs - I feel, seriously, like I let the sim-people of sim-Jersey down after their storied history in the L. Got leap frogged by both MIA and CLE who had real nice sims (at 6-4 and 5-1  :shock: respectively, stupid Andre Stocker...sorry just sour grapes there. Its actually that Berkowitz who carried the Cavs almost single-handedly into the playoffs). I went with the same DC as the previous sim when we went 5-3 (primarily younger with encouraging results). Now in retrospect, I wonder if I shouldn't have given the vets more of a role in such a crucial sim - but then again, I did look as though I was in a pretty comfortable spot in the standings....

Ah well, onto rebuilding the team more in the image that I envision for them....which is a little brighter than what they have been in the SSBA since I took over the reigns - a bunch of losers.  :oops:

Wow. Just wow. I thought I was screwed when I saw that I lost a very critical game to the Heat, the team that was right ahead of me in the standings. But they went on to win the next 5, jumping to 6th in the standings. Berkowitz was an absolute monster. He averaged 26 and 16. I'm really glad I made that trade for him. The Cavs won 17 of their last 20 games, which I think is pretty amazing. We have a tough Round 1 match against the Raptors, but we match up well and definitely have a shot at winning it...

Happy to get the #2 spot in the west, and got a nice matchup with the TWolves, we split the season series 2-2, but lost the last meeting with them on day 110. Hinrich was all second team. easily my most seccessful season ever. hope to carry it over the the playoffsand make past the second round for the first time since the second season of this version of SSBA

Congrats to the  playoff teams. And to Yao for winning his 87th straight MVP award.
Nuggets were happy to get 2 rookies in the top rookie teams.

I have to say, the East is very talent heavy and have to be the favourite to come out of the playoffs on top. Should be fun to observe.

20 PPG and 10 RPG plus 1.8 BPG....why not?

nice :) got to the 7th spot..i dont want to meet hornets in the first round  :D it's sixers and the heat...thriller in manila part 2  :D fortunately tyler is out for the whole playoffs ...i got a chance here  :D better send tyler to a rehab institution....

I can't remember when the last time I had a 50 win season. Anyway, Im just happy that my team end the season on a high note. Hopefully, they can continue their success up to the play-offs. Although, Im not really expecting much from them, especially with my best defensive frontcourt player on the sideline.

After Tyler's severe depression.. There are rumors that Dr.J might also have the same kind of sickness, after not being in any of the rookie teams. This season was such a disappointment for Dr.J

had to finish the season without artest and tanner but won all 4 of this games. :shock:
priddy is a monster.  :hail:
His last 4 games were: 15/16 with 2blks; 13/18 1blk; 13/19 with 4blks and 19/21 with 2blks
since tanner will be out at least for 3 games priddy will now start and hopefully reach 20+rebs
the celtics are a great offensive minded teams but normally i match very well against them.

Lenard and JO both get well deserved awards. :tup: If they can keep their scoring pace, i hope i can play the celtics even till tanner is back.
lenards highlights of the last sim: against minny 25/7 and 2blks; 26/8 4stls; 28/4 4stls; 32/6 and 2blks
JO had games of 24/14/4 and 5blks; 39/12/6;  36/13; 34/13; against mehta 30/19/5 and 4blks; 34/16

so finally some PO fun  :cheers:

would have been a nice season had my team made the playoffs. next year will certainly be a different sotry.

Hmm.

Finish with a nice 5-1 sim, losing only one game to the Hawks of all teams (who the hell is Lenny Smith?!).

Murdered the Celtics by 36 points, which I will have to admit, felt really good, Tom. Max dropped a simple triple double with 10, 10 and 10.

Congrats go to Max who was an all-league first teamer after I forgot to move him back to PG. Also, Chills is credited with an all-defense first teamer which is great to see. And, Butler gets all league 3rd team SG, which was also great to see.

First round matchup with the Cavs should be interesting, although I don't think he matches up quite as good as he thinks. Won the season series 3-1, but of course, never faced the Berk/Stocker frontcourt which is sure to give me trouble.

Manning/Gertsl are in for a handful with Chills, who will more than likely be the catalyst for this series. I also really think the SG and PG matchups favour me.

Hmm... This season was a mystery to me, how I went from a 2nd round playoff team last year to a terrible team this year...
But, the last couple sims should me that Andre Iguodala makes for an interesting PG...  Lot's of TO's, but also pretty good assists and gret rebounding.  He must have come very close to a triple double about 10 times as a PG.
And, it looks like Ron Brewer is going to be a a very good shooting guard.  He played quite well as an option.  With a good TC, he will be the Warriors SG for years to come...

8th place beats lottery.

Rex Mehta Defensive Player of Year and 1st Teamer.  Best blocks per game average in SSBA history.  What a year.

Butler and Lenard make the All League team over Marion. What a joke ...
 :bash:

FBB is a bitch as always

butler was nominated for SG since marion is listed as a SF i am pretty sure only lenard was his competition. don´t know if marion reached enough games to be considered but lenard deserved the award imo since he shot almost 50% and avg, over 25pts 7rebs the last 5 sims.

That may be the reason, but Marion still played 70 games and averaged 25/8/3 and 2 steals on 48%/41% OVER A FULL SEASON. Don't get me wrong, Antonio is a nice stud, but this is robbery.

Also from the laughable award show: BEN GORDON made the 1st team defensively !!!!!

Apart form the real-life comparison (which is pure comedy in itself) Ben may be one of the worst PG defenders in SSBA. He get's steals, plenty, which is the reason for being awarded, but that's it. Check box scores, opponents regularly shot 50+% against him with 10+ assists. That's a 1st teamer DEFENSIVELY ???
