Sim 6 Discussion

[GoldenStateGM]

Forgot to mention....
So we know that Carter led the Warriors to victory in his first game against the Raptors...
Well, Pau Gasol led the Warriors to victory against his former team, scoring 39 pts and pulling down 13 rebounds, along with 6 assists...

Love the revenge factor....

BTW, Michael Stewart's defense went down from a B+ to a C on his positional change from C to PG, just an fyi.

Sure, it had nothing to do with personnel

Not exactly our greatest week, but for the most part it was people who generally don't miss.

Very good Sim for Okafor.  21.2 pts, 13.8 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.2 blocks, 43.5% from the field.

Still not great shooting, but better.  Needs to hit his damned free throws though.  got 10.2 attempts a game...problem is he shot shaq-like.

He's been an absolute beast on the boards since being moved to c, and his points are up.  I'm liking that change.  14.2 boards/game since he moved to C, very good.  8 out of 11 games he's had 15 or more boards .  Also putting up 21.5 pts, shooting 43%.  All up from when at pf.

Okafor and Dalembert combined for 23.8 boards and 5.6 blocks

My offense STRUGGLED.  82.2 ppg on 41.3% shooting.  I'm not worried.  Okafor had his best sim and Pettit shot 52%.  My role players simply couldn't throw the ball into the atlantic.  But getting Okafor on track made me optimistic.

Defense was great (87 ppg, 43% shooting).

Slow back my to's and hit my open shots and I'm confident.

Played exactly 41 ppg, on pace for 54 wins, next sim I'll have drastically improved my bench.  I'm excited.

Well, Gasol averaged 25 ppg, 11.5 reb, 4 assist, 2.4 blocks, and went to the line 9 times a game(at a 79% clip), on 42% from the field.  Played some great defensive teams though, so that FG% should get better.

Carter averaged 25 ppg, 6.8 reb and 3 assists on 54% field, 47% from 3.  Moved him to a third option, and he shot very, very well.

Only problem was Hinrich this sim..
Averaged 6.4 points, 8 assists, 4 reb on 40% shooting...
I had just moved Hinrich back to my 2nd option, and it did not work well, accept for the assists.  Going to actually try him as a primary option...  He never looks for his own shot, so maybe this will get him to take 3-4 more shots per game...  He is still shooting 51% from the field overall.

Averaged 94 ppg, and gave up 91.4 ppg... As a team, shot 44% from the field, and a blazing 43% from 3.  Have a feeling having a great passer like Gasol in the post is really helping my outside shooters..

[PacersGM]

i can tell you a thing or two about having a great passer. O´neal avg.
something like 28pts, 14 rb and 4as with 3blk. I really hope he will be this seasons MVP.
Artest is shooting over 50% from 3 and so on.
As long as o´neal isn´t getting in foul trouble i will be alway in the game.
Sadly my only loss in this sim was another 2 point loss. Have to give credit to the clippers. Chandler played almost the entire game and killed me. the clippers also shot about 85% as a team from the line.

sorry to spoil both of you but the only pf worth a spot in the allstar game would have been TD.

Yeah, Amare's 28.3ppg/10.3rpg/2apg/1.3spg/2bpg/.528fg% definately makes him unworthy for all-star consideration.  

[GoldenStateGM]

OK, Wow...  The Sonics have at least 3 and maybe 4 lottery picks in the upcoming draft...

I doubt it will be four (warriors will make the playoffs), but I do expect to have something like the first, third and eighth pick or so.

I'd be happy with that.

Thanks for the vote of confidence...  Still looks like 2 top 10 picks, and 4 top 20 picks...  Impressive..

Make that three top tens with the addition of NYK.  However, the Hawks are looking to improve now as well.

[CavsGM]

More like four top ten picks. Unless the Hawks really improve.

[RaptorsGM]

Yeha, I don't expect anything big from the Hawks either.

Thanks! I really like how my young team is playing.

About that game... it would have liked to be there!    It was a great game between to very good teams. The battle between Brand and O'Neal must have been huge!

[GoldenStateGM]

Actually, let's say the Hawks had not lost Tanner for 9-10 games, which began an 11 game losing streak...  If they go 4-5 in those games with Tanner, their current record of 14-25 is then  is now 18-21...  Add to that the fact that Daniels is a HUGE upgrade over TJ Ford, and you are looking at a team that is at least a 0.500 team...
