Title: Re: Sim 11 Discussion Post by: SpursGM-old on December 15, 2006, 06:21:57 PM 5-1 with five road games.
A quick glance at the boxscores shows Swift & Jefferson working well together. Once Stocker returns from IR I will have a solid 3 man rotation age 30/30/29. Title: Re: Sim 11 Discussion Post by: NetsGM on December 15, 2006, 07:14:23 PM Well, I'm very surprised - a 4-1 sim, and right back into the playoff picture in 7th place - right when it seemed to be. A nice feat for a young, young team starting two rooks and a 2nd year guy for the vast majority of the year.
We only have six games left, but many of them will be tough: 3 against the teams right around us in the playoff hunt (Hawks, Heat and Raps), 2 against the Sixers and one against the hot Spurs. Going to be a big test of how the kids handle the adversity and stress of a playoff race. A 4-2 record should do it, and 3-3 might, which would seem to make the two most winnable games against the Sixers crucial - gotta bury 'em: in itself a good test for the kids. Rook report: Kevin McHale right now is perfect in his role of 6th man: ready to contribute against second units, and ready to step up when needed (as he did two times when JeffRob fouled out). Chris Cho has been a nice sparkplug all year, though he's fading a bit. Down to 17.9 ppg, and a FT% thats dropping like a stone - but still, a success of a year for the 9th pick. Ian Magliore has been a bit up and down since returning from injury, but still averages over 9 assists per game - and looks like a steal at 14. Jordan Payton had a rough year and is currently out of the rotation. I suspect that he might play better under different settings and in a different role, but I'm not chancing anything this now. Still a good prospect with good potential. Title: Re: Sim 11 Discussion Post by: BlazersGM on December 15, 2006, 07:26:47 PM Now Tom this not Ty Effect i've mentioned last sim ! i was on 50 %, with Ty i went 5-1 last
sim and now i went again 5-1, with no changes except Ty is backup for Hoffa and Booz since then. ITS TY EFFECT BABY ! Best things, we beat Mavs away and now we stand a chance competing vs them in PO's, season series being 2-2. I know, i I know Emeka didnt play, but beating them in Dallas i think even Emeka wont have easy time fighting with Hoffa/Booz/Ty trio, all 3 did great in that game, too bad Emeka wasnt there to see how we can really play them in Dallas but we'll see that soon i hope in PO's. Next game was probably the worst Hoffa had in his career, we did beat Jazz but he shot 0-7 Tyson stepped in tough brilliantly, and Phelps is definitely become a true player. Beat Wolves then, lost my only game to Grizz at home (same as last sim loss to Warriors at home). Trashed Nuggets and finally beat the Suns in Phoenix pretty easily. We're 10-2 since Ty came into town, playing same b-ball but obviously he is making a big impact up front 'cause we strugled all season in rebounding since he came as we had no adequate sub for Hoffa or Booz. Our #2 spot is sealed now, and hopefully we wont play Warriors who're dark hourse for us. Wish Ivan made this trade possible long before to have a better record, but doesnt matter, we're at #2 for sure, so let's start the party ! cant wait for PO's.

Title: Re: Sim 11 Discussion Post by: HawksGM on December 15, 2006, 11:49:20 PM 7 teams for 3 spots, this is madness. I'm getting a shot at my first playoff, hopefully Mike Evans and Joe Carroll can carry us there.
Title: Re: Sim 11 Discussion Post by: PacersGM on December 16, 2006, 04:00:34 AM yea hawks are right even wiz are still in the hunt for a PO place. even celtics could still drop out :shock:
this sim was possible the craziest since i joined this league. :screwy: had my best first quarter effort ever with a 24-4 :bounce: rout against suns, even with artest going down in the first min and lenard injured in the second half and marion already out for the season. still i managed somehow to beat them. after that i lost to the wiz behind 30 points of peters who is noemally benched deep in my rotation. :D split the series against 76ers with lenard and artest coming back strong in the second game. :cheers: my schedule should give me a good chance to fight for the 8th spot. the deciding matchup could be possibel the hawks since i play them twice. if i can split this i should stay ahead of them. And please no more injuries.. :hail: |
