finally back on track. all we need were some easy home games to be back on track  8)

It's getting frustrating losing so many close games.

7-2 sim, and it's getting to the point where each undesirable loss makes a huge impact on my chances to catch Tom and/or the Bucks for home court advantage.

Two losses to the Heat by 2 in Miami (woulda helped) and by 3 to the Clips in LA (ouch, woulda really helped).

Offensive efficiency was a little better, but the TO's are high enough often enough that they seem kinda risky moving forward. Not too fussy on that.

it will be tough to catch TOM now that he finally recognized that short is an overpaid benchwarmer and shouldn't get a single min PT.
I wish i would earn 10mill for doing that  :lmao: hey tom do you need an immobile shooter  :lol2:

Hm....

William Brice went down and I REALLY struggled offensively.

Unfortunately he's out another 10 days too.

Pretty satisfied with this sim. At 5-2 we didn't lose any ground to the Nets, and considering I was without leading scorer Wedge to start the sim (went 3-1) and without leading defender Tyler to end the sim (went 1-1) it's ok.

Priddy was great replacing Wedge. 15ppg, 13rpg, 2.5bpg, fouling out Eric Wu in 18 minutes in a very important victory over the HEAT. His defense wasn't good, but beating the Heat & Nuggets is more than I expected.

Team defense is still our main asset, and that's what we get our wins with ...
8-)



btw, Tyler will be out another 5 days but luckily we only play ONCE during that time span !

2-3 sim, first losing sim of the year.  Losing Mehta for a game and then 5 more days next sim doesn't help, especially when Game 1 is at home vs. the Nets.

rooting for you, Bucks !!!
;-)

5-1 sim, with the only loss to the Pistons.
This team  has really settled into their roles, and I found finally the combinations that seem to work.
Having Bennet Fuqua come off the bench as a 3rd option has been really effective.  His shooting has improved alot as an option, and Barton and Collins can easily handle the scoring load when Bennet is on the bench.
Holding on to the Western Conference lead by a thread right now...  :cheers:

Ouch. Bigtime ouch.

This team is wildly inconsistent both offensively and defensively. It surprises me how we can go from a 7-1 sim to a 2-4 sim. Foul trouble seemed to be a bit of an issue amongst my bigs. Despite Borgmann playing well this sim, I might put Xavier back as an option despite his high turnovers.

Stats:

C-Zollner
25.2min, 7.3pts, 7.5reb, 0.5ast, 1.7stl, 1.7blk, 41.9%fg

PF-Borgmann
30.2min, 16.3pts, 8.5reb, 1.7ast, 1.2stl, 1.5blk, 46.2%fg

SF-Xavier
37.0min, 12.2pts, 5.5reb, 1.7ast, 0.8stl, 2.2to, 45.8%fg

SG-Magic
40.3min, 22.7pts, 7.8reb, 5.5ast, 1.8stl, 3.2to, 45.5%fg

PG-Evans
40.7min, 19.7pts, 5.2reb, 10.7ast, 1.8stl, 3.0to, 55.7%fg, 64.7%3pt (11 for 17)

I've never seen a guard so great with % as Evans this season, unreal.

3-5 sim, not too great, but we did set a record for most points in a game for the franchise, 144 against the Lakers.  Lost 2 to the Raptors, but didn't lose much ground far as the 8 spot is concerned in the East.

:moon:

 :lol:

4-5 sim for the Raptors, starting to believe that this squad can in fact have success while playing with each other. Think I will tinker a bit by making the pace normal and trying Mike at the 3 as opposed to Buck.

Scored 96.6ppg this sim. Gave up 93.6. Big improvement there.

Swift @ C = 10.9ppg, 9.8rpg, 1.4bpg

Mike @ PF = 18.7ppg, 11rpg, 1.4bpg

Buck @ SF = 18.4ppg, 11.6rpg, 0.9bpg

Schader @ SG = 10.2ppg, 3.6rpg, 3.4apg, 1.7spg

Ransey @ PG = 18.7ppg, 5.6rpg, 10.4apg

Dailey @ Bench = 9.7ppg, 2.4rpg, 1.4apg


Loving the balanced scoring still...Big 3 are scoring 55.8ppg, all at basically equal share. Dailey has been great off the bench, and Swift and Schader are doing their parts. We're close.
