Not a big fan of my schedule...  Play 15 games in the first 15 days, and a total of 18 in 20 days......  Not much time to make adjustments, cause a quarter of my season is done in 2 sims...  I'm just hoping I got lucky, and did good on my depth chart...  My 1st 10 have some pretty tough games too @Nets, Mavericks, Wizards, @Sonics, @Twolves...  I'd be very happy if I ended the sim 6-4...

I'll be starting and ending the 1st sim against the Pacers.. I'll have 7 games in this sim.. 5-2 would be good for me... hopefully... with the improvement of Dwight, I do expect him to contribute more.. and probably Pavel as well.. he's coming of the bench.. and my 1st and 2nd string at the C spot is at least 7'2 in height.. :D hopefully these guys produce.. and if one goes down, I still got a quality C on curtis...

also, 4out of 7 games at home for me...

Bah... 14 games in the first 2 weeks...
And a 8 game road trip    :shock:   and 7 are back-to back  :shock:   :cry:
What, is the Circus in town in Oakland????

4 games at home, and 10 on the road...
If I come out of the first two weeks even close to .500, I will be happy.

25% of my away games in the first 2 weeks...  Insane.

In all my schedule figures out to be 31 games in 35 days, with 19 Road games...   :(  does anyone else's schedule even come close to as awful as that???  included in the is 2 stretches of 6 road games in a row, right next to each other, it ends up being a stretch of 12 of games 13 on the road... :shock:

Well, the way I see it is; in this sim (for some reason) he has very good defense. He is 6'10 (taller than Juwan Howard who would play PF) and only 1lb lighter than him.

So really, he is bigger, has the same inside scoring as, and plays better defense than, my first choice PF...

...throw in A for outside and it might just work.

Anyway, if all else fails I move him back to SF and Diop/Howard comes in at the 4. I'm really just experimenting specifically to get Summitt some court time.

Considering that I played my rookies heavy minutes I'm happy with 3-3 to start.  I needed them to get some floor time so I could evaluate them before the 2nd sim when I play 10 games.  Second youngest team in the league and played 3 road games in 3 nights.  So as I said I'm happy with a .500  record.

Good enough for the 8th seed in the west.   :P

No, only half of it.  :lol:

I have already planned changes for the next sim.  Kittles & West will come off the IR and a couple rookies will go on it.  But I wanted to get some stats so I can evaluate which rookies to play.  Also the few vets I have will see more floor time.

Those boxscores are a relief, the 3-6 record doesn't seem as bad.  I lost to the Nets twice and the Kings once, that was expected.  I lost a close one to the Nets, and Ferry detroyed me vs the Pistons (39 points, hes averaging 27 for the year :shock: ).  I beat 2 quality teams in the Wiz and Kings.

7-0?  Wow.  Especially nice since I went 4-0 on the road, after I was terrible there last year.

On day 7, in the 5th game of the season against the Griz, Ray Allen messed around and (almost) got a triple double.  Final game stats: 54 points, 9 boards, 9 dimes.

Then, three days later against the Rockets, he drops 39 with 10 rebounds and 10 assists.  He took home 4 POG awards, and only lost out on a 5th due to Redd knocking down a higher percentage.

I'm pretty pleased thus far.

Eastern Conference Musings:

Glad to give the heat their only loss.

That's amazing from Petit.

And DANIELS. 18,8,5. I can't believe he's worth 18ppg at C, B offense.

AMARE   :shock: 33 and 12. On a losing team though.

Expected better things from Dwight Howard after a fantastic TC.

Wow. Sixers were awful. Too bad.

Oscar Ferry. Oh my goodness. WTG Pistons. I traded that pick for Boozer.

Cavs PG situation haunts them.


Title: Sim 1 Discussion
Post by: NetsGM on April 08, 2005, 09:19:16 AM
I was able to retrieve the boxscores  :!:

Pettit:  :shock:

28.8 pts, 6 boards, 4.8 assists, 2.7 steals, 48.7% shooting, 84.7% fg, 56.8% 3pt.

Not only is he putting up bigtime stats, but he's doing so at an incredible efficiency.  As a rookie #1 option.

I'm going out on a limb, but I think this kid could be something special :)

Emeka a "quiet" 21.3 pts, 12 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 3.1 blocks.

biggest surprise of course is Daniels.  I was expecting 12-13 pts and 7 assists.  17.6 pts, 5.4 boards, 8.1 dimes, 2.6 steals to only 1.9 turns.  Actually a little low on the assist to turnover ratio than I expected ("only" 4.3/1).  But if he puts in 17/8 I'm almost unbeatable.  I put him as the 3rd option (for the first time in his career) and he really responded.

Of course, when you have two players combining to score 50.1 pts, probably the best inside/outside combo in the game with a 2 guard that can create and distribute, Daniels probably hasn't had a contested shot all year.

Top 2 offensive options combine for 50.1 ppg (top 3 for 67.7).  My starting pf/c each average over 11 rebounds and 3 blocks/game, combining for 23 rebounds and 6.1 blocks nightly.  My starting backcourt average 46.4 pts and 12.9 dimes nightly.

And all the while I'm scoring 101.1 ppg and only giving up 88.8.  That 88.8 ppg is the 4th in the league, scary because I'm playing at a fast pace :).  Opponents only shooting 40.6% against me (3rd in the league) and I'm forcing 16.7 to's/game (3rd in the league).

Even I wasn't expecting this much success.

Okafor and Pettit's first game together they combined for 77 points (40 for Okafor, 37 for Pettit) and 11 assists (7 for Pettit and 4 for Okafor).

For the Sixers, Iverson just hasn't been able to throw the ball into the ocean (34.5% shooting, 21.7% downtown).  Those are both down over 10% from last years numbers (3pt down 16%).  I wouldn't worry.

Yet.

I'm worried about Ferry stealing Pettit's ROY.

Raps, you traded:
Ferry (26.8 ppg, 9.2 rpg) and Daniels (17.6 ppg, 8.1 apg) for Boozer (19.9 ppg, 9 rpg).  

Then you passed on Mercer (22 pts, 4.2 rpg, 9 apg) to take Ellis (6.1 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 3.6 apg).

:lol:

Still, Daniels probably hasn't seen a contested shot all year.  As long as you're not Eric Snow you probably should score 15 ppg as the 3rd option with Emeka and Pettit.

You beat me by 1, but Pettit and Okafor absolutely owned Carter and Boozer.

Wow again.  After looking at the team stats, the Nuggets are averaging 107.3 PPG, and only giving up 87.  A 20 point differential?   :shock:  I don't think that'll last much longer, unfortunately, since my starters at the 1, 2, & 3 aren't real good defensively.  But if I can keep filling it up, maybe it won't matter.  

Sorry to post twice, but I'm still in shock.  After being primarily a defense-first team last year, the move to an offense-first team this year has started out quite nicely and unexpectedly.

By faster, I mean I'm changing the pace to "Normal" from Slow.

And Boozer will get more time. Too bad Ostertag will have to suffer, but that's how it will be.

Also, my focus has gone to a balanced offense, as I have alot of scorers outside.

And Ellis WILL start. Finley will be a great boost off the bench, and should still get decent minutes. Ellis is my 3rd option now.

I'm going to explore trading Vince.

THe Hawks go 3-5, which is ok...bright spot was from Josh Smith who was incredible starting at SF when Al Harrington got injured....Marques Baly had a big game when Harrington got injured also....Tanner has his goods and his bads...he had a game where he scored 16 pts and shot 29 times...then in the last game of the sim he had 36/13/4 which is good....he shoots better from three than he does from the field....7'4 shooting 31% doesn't cut it for me....he's played good but needs to step it up....Strom has been solid like I expect....Antonio Burks has been impressive in limited time also...overall Tanner is just ok and i'm gonna have to work w/my lineup to see what combinations work the best

Yeah, Tanner's under 1 points per shot, Pettit's at 1.35 or so.

I doubt he averages 29 ppg the entire season.  He'll come down to earth eventually.  Probably in the 24-25 range.

And I think at least a good part of that is having an inside option like Emeka.  That should make him more efficient that he normally would.

But 2.3 three's made a game at 57% is ridiculous.

That 3 point percentage will likely come down a bit, probably to the 40%-45% range...

Even though Biedrins did not improve greatly in training camp (+1 defense), his play has improved.  That extra defense is letting him stay on the court more, and he is averaging 17.4 ppg and 8 rpg in 31 mpg....

When Jason Richardson improves his 3pt percentage a bit (now 31%, hopefully up to 37% by mid year), he may be averaging 25 ppg.

Brand is still amazing. He is a true all star. He does not score like some other PF's do, but he does all the things. He is a top PF for assists and blocks.

That's because he's surrounded by A- outside guys in Billups and Jackson.  So if guys come flying at him to contest his shot, he just swings it around to either one of them, which explains his 7 assists per game.

Everyone seems to forget that Araujo was traded, along with Jalen Rose (IR player) and his monumental contract (15.6, then 17) for Finley, who has been good for me, and is an expiring contract this year, when this is the best FA class.

Now, I'm not going to have enough money to sign a top guy, but when I made the Araujo trade I THOUGHT I was going to.

And I also got Pavel, who I traded with Bosh for Mihm and the 6th.

So I turned Araujo, Bosh and Rose into Mihm, Finley and Ellis. Araujo is the best player of the 6, but my combination is a heck-of-a-lot better than the combo that I traded.

If Nick Collison ends up being a good player (now that I traded him away, and he jumped to an A potential with a B+ inside), I might be in the same boat.  Although for a B+ inside, he has always shot a bad percentage....

You can have him, if you can pick him up.  BTW, he is 290 pounds. :lol:


I think I can squat that... does that count?  If not I will head to the gym right now and get to work ;)

Rough start to the season. 14 minutes into my first game Arenas recieved a broken jaw and missed the next 9 games and is out for another 14 days.  :(

God I wish we were simming tonight :)

I'm hoping to be 14-4 after the next sim.  Although I'll settle for 13-5.

Much easier schedule.  No really tough games until my last 3 (Mavs, then at Kings and Clippers).

5-2 isn't so bad, but it's who I lost to. I beat you, I beat the Heat. But I lost to teams I should have beat.

Anyway, just need one move. Too many scorers on this team.

Stats are overrated, what matters are the Ws.


True but when you get both it is even more fun!

BTW, and off topic, I'm fairly happy right now.

I won about $150 during march madness, and I put $100 on a Hawks+11 over the Raptors, and Iverson over 8 assists.

It pays $250

And there's 8 for Iverson. Just need one more.

And it's 41-25 Hawks :)

I'm in the money, I'm in the mon....

Well, I have 7 games in the next sim, and 6 of them are on the road, and 5 of those are back to back, and they are against some very tough teams...
If I go 2-5 in this next sim, I will be satisfied...  Not thrilled, but satisfied...

Opposing SF's are shooting 40.3% against me :)

Go Battier.

Of course, C's are shooting 36.3% against me.

PF's only 36.7%

Scary frontcourt.

Long story short?  You better have some high scoring guards when you're playing me.
