SSBA

have fun...

HIHIHI

I really like the makeup of my team. Really solid perimeter D and shoots pretty good. My big man needs to improve the post D though. I also have a big frontline with Podoloff standing 7'5 and Stockton at 7'4 playing the 4 and 5. awesome basketball.

Stockton may eventually play the 2nd best basketball year of his 10 year career. :D

We still suck, but now at least I have someone to build around. Tom Chamberlain lead the league with 27.9 PPG on beastly percentages (.476, .892, .431).

Brian Shaw could easily be the biggest steal in SSBA history, bigger than Tom stealing 2nd rounders and turning them into roster fillers. hihi. jk


19ppg, 7 rpg and 8.4 rpg despite his 4.2 topg, but is only getting paid 2 million each year for 6 years

No Box Scores???  hmmmmm...

Well, looking at the stats Morris and Chapman played solid...  Morris just might earn himself some minutes...

EDIT - Oh yeah, Brian Shaw is still a turd...

LOL at us.

Did everyone put their backup line-ups ?

I predicted a 2-11, and we go 10-3, lol.

Ervin and Kerr are insane, Ervin can now shoot as well, not just defend. Gerald Green is good, and Skiles has insane offensive %.

Well, I tried the small lineup, and it didn't work...but that was kind of expected.  Let's see how the real lineup works...

Played with my rookies and still managed over 500. stan avg. almost 20/10 with 3 blks. harpring looks like he improved a lot. lets see what the real lineup can do.

The team went 6-7, which is pretty disappointing. And to add to the disappointment, Granger looks like he isn't ready to contribute until maybe after a one or maybe two solid TCs.

But there are few bright things in this sim..

Karl Malone
The dude went 22ppg 9.3rpg .547FG% in only 27 minutes of action per game. I guess that he's better playing the starting PF position and not the SF.

Drazen Petrovic
He was showing his all around game with his 15.9ppg 4.4rpg 6.6apg and 1.6spg. He's now in limbo between becoming my starting SG and being the back-up PG/SG.

Chuck Murray
Last year, I had a hard time inserting him in the line-up because of his very poor rebounding performance. But he seems to be a much improved rebounder this year. He's grabbing 11rpg opposed to his 8rpg average last season. With this 3rpg improvement, this allows me to let Karl Malone play his natural PF position and insert Granger or Drazen in the starting unit.

Rod Strickland
Non option. 21ppg 6.8rpg 9.3apg and 2.8 spg. Lived up to his contract so far..


That's all for now. More news to come after preseason 2. :D

there are no box scores available.
would make it tough to judge a sim without those, so i wait with my analysis till it's up.

Sorry, my error in simming (still figuring out all the little quirks in FBB).  There won't be any box scores for this sim.  But see the thread on holiday scheduling.

Just trying to be clear on PS1 depth charts. Were they used, or did everybody get CPU'd?

definitely the DC's posted.

no cpu would start Twyman, Webster, Warrick, and Wright ...
;-)

Haha, thanks.

I ran it for 30 days this time.  I was verifying the upload process.  Boxscores are available.  Of course, the results of a resim can vary.

now you made my Kersey trade even more tough to decide :p

Sim 1 - 10:3
Resim - 11:9

Kersey played just 1 game, the whole team played almost equally on offense, but defense without Kersey was much worse, it affected whole team.

I guess ill have to wait sim 1 to see if presim1 was just a "bug" or we can really be that good even without Zeke to decide on Kersey's faith.

Really tough choice, so GMs (you know who you are) ill wait for sim 1 to see if its worth giving him cheap to get cap and good pick, or keep him and compete.

For some weird reason. I am happier with the second sim.

Despite the lackluster game my team played, Joe D made a case for his enjoyment in playing for our team and have requested not to be traded. Shooting 25ppg at a remarkable above 50% on both FG% and 3point percentage.

Adam MacCulloch is a stud for a 21st pick, IMO.

I think we are set to go this season.

Nick Anderson is also playing great which makes it hard for me to decide on who to start on my frontcourt. But we shall see on preseason sim 2.

Karl Malone 20ppg 9.5rpg 2.8apg 520FG%
So his numbers flirting at 20ppg and 10rpg is not a fluke. His numbers makes me think twice on whether to start him or Trey Wooten at the PF position. He'd be playing the SF position, once I replace Drazen with Jamal Mashburn. And we'll see how he'd play at the SF position.

Drazen Petrovic 20ppg 5rpg 3apg 468FG% 891FT% 451 3pt%
He's really the type of SG that I wanted. Too bad for him that I've already placed Jamal Mashburn as the face of my franchise, so far. Mashburn's scoring and his ratings is too good to pass up at the SG position. Thus, this might mean Drazen would play a valuable role as the team's sixth man this up coming season.

Rod Strickland 22pg 5.6rpg 9.6apg 2.8spg
Rod's been flirting with triple double numbers his whole career. Damn, if he could keep his TOs up, he might end up having atleast five quadruple double by his career ends. His TOs is so far hurting my team's progress. But the positives definitely outweighs the negatives when it comes to his game.

Obviously, the talent is there. But I just need to find the right chemistry and maybe insert Jamal Mashburn next sim would help my put me back into play-off contention.
