Well, I lost Mihm for a few days, which could explain a few of the losses.

Chauncey Billups for Kelvin Cato..good trade

[KingsGM-old]

as usual, started off slow, 2-4...just like every year, all 6 games crazy close.

bibby 21ppg,10apg,5rpg
mcgrady 30ppg,6rpg,4apg
miller 15ppg,10rpg,1.5spg,1.5bpg

and my favorite; kings 118,raptors 117

HOLY ISH!  I was expecting 1-6 and I got 5-2!!  

I won 5 straight, I destroyed the Pacers, destroyed the Wizards, beat the Pistons by 8, beat them again by 2, beat the clippers by 8

Man Pierce is a beast!  27/8/5

Mercer with 24/8

Griffin with 16/10/3

There is a downside though, Mercer and Pierce have a combined 10 tournovers per game...

[NetsGM]

Well, the C's did get their first win.

Chauncey Billups for Kelvin Cato..good trade

What are the Nugs record?

4-3.  Exactly what I predicted.  I just didn't predict the right wins.

Beat the Pacers....Lost to the Blazers?  Huh?

Emeka's been amazing.  Sammy's been amazing.

My starting pf and center average:
Rebounds: 12.7 and 12.4
Blocks: 2.7 and 4.4

And Emeka's getting 24.6 ppg on 44.8% shooting, 67.5% ft.  Don't expect that to last.

Pettit struggled.  Don't expect that to continue.  45% shooting, but 31% from downtown.  

Billups was downright amazing.  14.7 ppg, 11.1 apg, 2.4 tpg, 46.8% fg, 50% 3pt, 91.7% ft.  I think he's learning how nice it is to get easy shots from Okafor and Pettit

Tanner with 14.6, 10, with 4.1 blocks.  Hey Hawks, if you don't want him, I'll take him.

Damn, look at hoffa.

Opponents are shooting 39.7% against me, but drilling their 3's (46.3).  Luckily they're not shooting many against me.

[BullsGM-old]

5-3. Cool.

Peja!! 33ppg. Yao!! 24ppg, 12.6 rpg. Mihm!! 17.7ppg, 13rpg.

Baron!! 14.4ppg, 11.6rpg.

Eddie House...you suck.

Depth!! yeah, I don't have any.

You forgot to mention 6.3 turnovers per game for Baron...ouch

Looks like me and you will have turnover problems all year

[BullsGM-old]

Nets, you were right about outside shooting, Griffin is 86% from the FT line

Yesterday night I was bummed, but now I feel real good about my team.  Although its only 1 sim, I beat some quality teams, like I said I was expecting to go 1-6

[RaptorsGM]

The Breakdown:

Raptors 108 Knicks 83 --Nice way to start the season with a 25 point blowout. Peja scored 40 on 14-21 shooting. Baron had 20 points and 10 assists. Yao had 18 points and 15 rebounds.

Raptors 99 Magic 94 --Nice 4th quarter comeback. Peja had 27 points. Yao had 20 points, 8 rebounds. Casey Jacobsen came off the bench and scored 15 on 5-6 shooting. Mihm had 14 points, 16 rebounds.

Kings 118 Raptors 117 --Lost a heartbreaker. Peja scored 42 points on 14 of 26 shooting. Yao had 26 points, 12 rebounds. Baron Davis had 19 assists.

Knicks 95 Raptors 92 --Another touch loss. Peja and Yao both scored 33 points. Yao had 15 rebounds to go along with that. Davis had 16 points, 13 assists. I had only 6 guys score.

Raptors 97 Magic 96 --Wow, GREAT game by Peja. 47 points on 20-29 shooting. 7-8 from downtown. Yao had 28 points, 12 rebounds. Davis had 11 points, 17 assists. Again only 6 guys score.

Raptors 96 Cavs 93 --Very lucky to get this game. Yao fouled out in 23 minutes. Peja had 26 points and 13 rebounds, a great game for him. Davis had 24 points and 8 assists. Yao had 23 points in those 23 minutes that he played.

Celtics 92 Raptors 86 --Shot only 38%, so couldn't expect to win. Peja had 28 points. House had his best game with 11 points and 8 rebounds. Yao played a terrible 21 minutes going 2-12 for 8 points and 14 rebounds.

Raptors 95 Sixers 93 --Ended the sim on a nice note, beating the Sixers. Yao had a fantastic game with 36 points, 19 rebounds, 8 assists. Peja chipped in 21 points, and Davis had 12 points, 11 helpers. Bo Outlaw gave me 36 great minutes.


Overall, pretty happy with my sim. Once I get Mihm back I will look like a pretty good team. House is still a huge question mark, as the SG of the opposition was the high scorer 4 out of 8 games. I'm happy with the minutes Jacobsen gave me off the bench. He could play his way into the starting lineup.

As of Yao, he needs to get out of foul trouble, although I understand that he would have more fouls without Mihm in the lineup. If Peja continues to score like he has been, and Baron can GET THE DAMN TURNOVERS DOWN to respectability, I'll be just fine.

bulls; i bet that 1 win you thought was vs kings

[BullsGM-old]

bulls; i bet that 1 win you thought was vs kings

Lol, yeah either you or the Wiz

[RaptorsGM]

I still don't get the Sixers. This is the 3rd year of .500 ball with Dunkin stealing the show.

Warriors are going to be very disapointed.

Oh, I am, but oh well...
My team, outside of Gasol and Odom could not hit a shot.

I will do the breakdown later, but Hinrich has not shot well.  I may have to move Odom out of the primary position, and move him back to number 2.  He just racks up those turnovers so fast...  But oddly, my team is ranked about 6th in total turnovers...  maybe he just gets them all.
Marko Jaric lost his starting spot.  Going to give Hinkle a try next sim.

[KingsGM-old]

well the main reason for my slow start is probably the fact that i released 3 players (piatkowski, padget and gates) and i signed potapenko, fred jones and varejao but they haven't played a minute so far, so i was practically 7 or 8 man team in the 1st sim

[RaptorsGM]

Hmm..I take almost 10 shots less than my opposition does...probably due to turnovers.

[BullsGM-old]

Hey Kings, what did I tell you, 10/7 with 1.3 SPG from Vlad Rad.

Lol, EXACTLY what I said he could average

[KingsGM-old]

damn, i got 70% from the 3 point line vs clippers (bibby 6/6 and tmac 5/6) and i lost the game
