I'll do sim 7 Sunday night, then Sim 8 Tuesday morning.

Way to go Robinson. He had a busy all-star weekend, leading the Sophomores to a win and getting MVP, participating in the 3PT shootout and also the all-star game in only his 2nd season. This kid has a bright future, that's for sure. Berkowtiz was an all-star as well, marking the first time in a while in which two Cavs made it. We had a decent 3-2 sim, losing to tough opponents in the Magic and Raptors.

I don't know why Shane Wedge (sophomore) and Phil Hubbard (rookie) were not in the rookie/sophomore game .... interesting.

2-3 sim, whoopty doo.

Mehta an all star, for the 3rd time in a row.

3-0 sim! Look out!
Short is up and down in scoring, as high as 24. But what is really impressing me is his rebounding from the wing.

SG Robinson (13pts 11reb 5ast) robbed PG Mike Evans (26pts, 7reb, 5ast, 1blk) of the Rookie game MVP.

ex-Nugget Jeremy Polacio making the All-Star game with averages of 12pts 4reb is a slap in the face to the game itself.

wat a nice sim..beat the hornets 2 straight games...ladon is making yao shoot really bad  :D only lost to the knicks?  :screwy:

anyway..it's a surprise that my big 3 is in the allstar game...and all 3 are starters...i think  :D

Fuck this. i knew it will happen. Bods left his team and activity of the league droped to the minimum. enough of this bulshit, i want him to have a team.

what the hell are you talking about?  if by activity of the league you mean the schedule sims are done at, no, that as an odd circumstance.  I definitely do not plan on pulling many 28 hour workdays in the near future.  If you're talking about activity of the GM's, then I disagree.

bods has a life too, my dear. and even when he had a team, we still had sim delays!

btw, 1 loss to the celtics would have been a swept otherwise. damn brice got injured.

another sim another injury. this time JO had tos it down. Still had some tough losses but one bright win over raptors behind some great team game thanks to english.

He's just upset that everyone doesn't agree Magic is the best ever.

Or maybe that hes out for the rest of the regular season? That's a tough break, but they happen.

And I'm not sure if your comment regarding league activity as it relates to Bods stepping down was directed at me since I replaced him, but however it was meant, meh. I find the guys in here very knowledgeable and committed.

As for the sim, more losses. And, yes, I now regret dealing Ford in the second last deal I made - It was part of a plan to reload by injecting some youth and to see if O'Neal-Macy would step up with their own opportunities, which clearly didnt happen. That proved to be the final straw in my O'Neal experiment, but I am pretty pleased with Macy-Brewer-who should give good production and dirt cheap. That, plus what is looking like a nice pick, plus the cap space I've created for the off-season, should help to end this pain - all good things to those who wait (and make the odd bad deal I guess  :().

3-2 sim but still was enough to stay on top.

Had fun with eastern conference

Bulls 104-86 (Phelps 27/6, Hoffa 25/16, Telf 17/10) and Hornets 98-67...Yao did miserable against
Hoffa who dropped 20/19 5blks on him on 50 %. Boozer added 18/16 and Phelps 19/6.

Especially Telf did great holding Livingstone to 2-11 while shooting 7-10 himself and getting 4
stls.

back in West Warriors 100-107 (Hoffa 39/13) and Suns 94-103 had fun with me.

Finally a nice 91-76 win over Clippers left me on top. Hoffa another great game 25/22, Phelps
led with 29/6, Boozer 15/7/12.

Had Phelps knocked out in dunk contest, Hoffa performed great 17/14 at his 9th ASG....and Phelps made his debut ... bravo  :tup:

Frankly, i have no idea. I was pretty drunk last night.


I know you're kiddin.


No, nothing about you. Off course not. It's just that feeling that the competitive spirit and rivarlies are not there where it used to be. But nevermind.

Continued success breads rivalries.  Raptors, Hornets, Pacers, (et al) and I had a rivalry because we met in the playoffs every year.  More sustained success and we'll see more rivalries.

And I hadn't even seen Magic got injured.   :shock:

Yeah, he's done for the season.

so Sim 7 is supposed to happen today now? then back to Mon, Wed, Fri?

Sim 7 will be tonight (probably late), then back to M-W-F (which is really Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday morning)

Excellent stuff, thanks Derek

Tony Parker really suprised me. Started for couple of games and had pretty solid numbers;

*19pts, 9as, 7rebs vs the Rockets
*18pts, 14as vs the Grizzlies
*19pts, 4as, 3rebs vs the Knicks


I just need 10 or more W's and that's it.

Cannot wait till CelticsGM see this :lmao:.  Jeremy Palacio is an all star. :moon:.  He did pretty well in the all star game too.  In 21 minutes, scored 14 points on 5/6 shooting, 4/4 FT and 2reb, 3ast.  Also went 5-0 for the sim, two back to back OT win to start off the sim.

Guess I have to eat crow here ...
 :cheers:

but on the other hand, when guys like Majerle (http://rosters.ssbabasketball.com/players/player109.htm) and Duer (http://rosters.ssbabasketball.com/players/player136.htm) who played all of 4 games - 35min total - this season makes the rookie ASG too, you know FBB has some serious all star selection problems ...
 :bash:


Honestly, taking a closer look at the SF competition out west he even might have deserved it (mostly because of the numbers he got on the Nuggets): Deng was injured, Maggette didn't get enough starts ... but i'd have the Spurs Mitchell and the Suns Roan ahead of him.

Glad to see both Dr.J and Donta Smith joined the Slam Dunk competition..

Somebody needs to tell Donta SMith to stop joining the slam dunk competition.

I miss the old times were we had to fear the next mass pm  :D from raptors or sonics just making another big trade. We all worked so hard to win it all or at least beat bods  :tup:

i am not sure why activity declined in the last 2 seasons. I know depth chart positing is still at a top level but now i have to wait a week or 2 before i get an answer if i am getting one at all for my pms. And trades are only happing now with the new gms and maybe celtics who is still acting like a newbie after all the sim seasons  :lol2:

 
As i said, the better GM's know each other is more harder to trade, let alone make a steal.

I just looked at his profile this is his second all star appearance.  His first came in 2004 when he was with the Cavs.  Mitchell and Roan over Palacio? :screwy:

Lol, KG a All Star MVP at the age of 38!

Roan puts up 15ppg, 5rpg and 3apg and actually has to PRODUCE for the Suns to win.
Now look at what Palacio does for you (like this last sim): 9ppg, 3.5rpg and 3apg, which is just about his Mavs average for the last 3 sims. WOW. AllStar numbers for Jerry.

Hey, I know he WAS an AllStar when he was still leading a team, but he's not even option anymore, let alone worthy of an AllStar berth ...
 :?

Palacio was definitely all-star worthy when he was with me. He was great, probably my best player. However, he has clearly declined since then.

What do you mean Roan has as to produce for the Suns to win.  He not even their best player.  It's irrelevant to compare Palacio's stat with other SF because Palacio is not even an option on my team.  When you combine Palacio's Nuggets numbers with Mavs numbers to other SF, I'm sure their points are the same, less rebs but more steals, ast and less TOs.  Since when you have to be an option to be an all star? 

Polacio has played, what, 10 games for you? The whole season for me and 80% of the time was 2nd option. And that didnt help his stats.

You don't have to be an option but 9ppg will get you in the Rookie game at best, nowhere else.

Palacio has played 30 games for the Nuggets and 19 for the Mavs and his scoring average dropped by 3.5 points already. Be assured that not only it were JUST his Nuggets numbers taking him to the ASW but this also most likely has been his last AllStar appearance, unless you suddenly start making him option for a season (and in that case say "hello lottery") ...
