Sim 11 Discussion

[HeatGM]

WOW...had a great great run....6-2 despite the injuries... went 5-0 without Q rich and 1-2 without Al harrington ...the MLE harrington has been stepping up without Q rich... and Carl harping has been spectacular... the trade for harping with okur really works great for me.... i know sits in the 9th spot from the playoffs... i need 5 wins straight and the bucks to go 4-3 to tie it.... i now have my full roster back...lets see what its all really about... iv never beent this excited on a sim except when i won the championship...

next 5 games:

Knicks @ Heat -W- i dont want to under estimate the knicks but im    
                         expecting a win HERE....
Heat @ 76ers- L- this is my only tough game in the sim
Heat @ Hawks- W- easy win i hope
Heat @ Bulls - W- it will be a close game but i think this game can be won
Bucks @ Heat- W- This will be my crucial game of the season... i NEED to
                           win this one....

5-0 is posssible.... 4-1 is realistic.... but other than that would be very very disappointing... i need the bucks to lose lose and lose...

...
But with the 3-3 sim I'm in pretty good shape to hold onto that 8th spot, 3 losses ahead of Miami (and I have the tiebreaker), and 3.5 games ahead of Boston.
...

But looking at your schedule on day 12 I would still put the celebrations on hold: Kings, Clippers, Magic, Heat, Bulls, Sixers, Hawks. I don't see too many easy W's there ...

And are u sure there isn't a draw in case of a tie (no matter of the tiebreaker)?

[ClippersGM-old]

Damn, just when Gordon would jump into the recordbooks with 9 steals against the Knicks, Mercer gets 12 steals! Oh well, I'd rather get championship rings than records in the books. Not that I am already thinking about a championship party in LA... but dreaming is allowed right?!

[MagicGM]

Kidd had a triple double. Al roseau had some nice games.

[BucksGM]

And are u sure there isn't a draw in case of a tie (no matter of the tiebreaker)?

I'm not sure but obviously having a tiebreaker makes sense when I've won the first 3 games against the Heat.  

In a sim league based as much on realism as possible, I'd assume the tiebreakers exist.

But then again, I've gotta hope it doesn't come to that.  I expect the Heat to go 4-1, which would make my magic number 3.  Given 4 home games and an away at the Hawks, I think I can go 3-4, which would make me hard to catch.

[RaptorsGM]

The Raptors want to thank Yao Ming, Chris Mihm, Peja Stojakovic and Baron Davis for their hard work and commitment during the season. They will be given the next 10 days to rest.

Last year I played for best record, and while I got it, I also lost Peja for the first half of my series vs the Hornets. I won't let that happen again.

We will have to see how a team of Cato/Austin/Sedran/Springs/Lovelette does

[RaptorsGM]

And touche, Nets, you are the offensive team you said you would be.

You will no doubt pass me as I rest my starters next sim. I'm assuming you won't rest yours if you are looking for 52 wins.

[SonicsGM]

Just out of the playoff picture looking in now.  The Sonics face a less-than-stellar group of opponents to finish out the year.  However, most of the games are on the road!!!!

If only the Zydrunas trade went through on time!!! argh

Ah well, the Sonics shall fight to get into the playoffs, and utilize the depth to break into a second finals appearance.
