Sim 2 Discussion

[BullsGM-old]

With pierce and mercer, you kinda had to expect that.

Mason's looking a lot like a real life Baron Davis.  Great points + assists, can shoot the rock, but turns it over.

Yeah, the good thing is that they make up for it in other areas, like shooting.  I could live with the TO's if Mercer keeps shooting 55% and Pierce keeps averaging 29/8/5

BTW my former players Curry and Barry are playing great, although Darko and Sasha stink.  I knew Curry could average 18 PPG, he did for me when I took over for the last GM in my first season.  But Barry is playing unreal, to improve at 33 and go up 6 ppg (from 12 to 18 ppg) is crazy.  I could see Barry being a Mutumbo type player where hes effective until he's 40

[BullsGM-old]

Well then again, Barry is a 1rst option on the Celts when he was either 3rd or none on mine last year

[MavsGM]

Wow, Mutumbo still in the league and going strong, wondering how long he will play.

Judging from his 'Severe Migraines', I'd say not much longer

Yes, you gotta go with what life gives you ...

Got W #2, which is good (nah, forget about the other 4 games).
Snow's coming along (with on 10-11 shooting game, albeit vs Stuodamire), which is very good
Barry, Eisley and Hoiberg showed they still have something left, which is good (for their trade value )
and I probably found a rela player in Strong which is very surprising

Darko is a Mystery which is bad
I still get outrrebounded big time which is bad, too
Spirit's still high, as it's far more fun to lose 114-116 decisions than 75-87 stinkers, which is positive

and it's 4:20am now which is HORRIBLE. G'd nite, folks

[BucksGM]

I had another miserable sim, although the race is on for that top pick.

The only bright spots are Harpring and Tinsley.  Once Harp's FG% gets up there he may be putting up about 15/11/3 blocks, and Tinsley's averaging about 21/6/8 so far.  But the rest of the team is shooting for crap and Diddle's been a disappointment.

tmac is currently the best player in the league; 3 games with 40 or more in the this sim...  

[NetsGM]

Congrats to Chauncey on the triple double (16 pts, 10 assists, 12 turnovers).

Lol.

Of course, outside of that game chauncey really hasn't had turnover problems (only one other game above 4).  Of course, that one game did just tie a record.

My team's so very bi-polar.

Home: score 99.7 ppg on 47% shooting, 38% from downtown.  Give up 84.6 ppg on 39% shooting.  + 6 rebounding differential.
Road: score 83.8 ppg on 40.8% shooting, 33% from downtown.  Give up 96.2 ppg on 45% shooting.  -8 rebounding differential.  1 more turnover per game than when at home.

What?  How can I demolish teams on the glass at home, get killed on the road.  That seems to be the root of my problems.  Such a drastic departure.  16 ppg swing in points scored, 12 ppg on defense.  go from winning by 15/game to losing by 13.  I hate bi-polarism.

Opposing C's are shooting 35.6%.  Opposing PF's 38.5%

 

[GoldenStateGM]

Well, my sim was just atrocious... atrocious...
First thing I learned...  Pau Gasol cannot play center.
14 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 2.4 apg, 1.8 bpg, 3.5 tpg  35% shooting... Worst performance ever by Gasol on my team, by far.

2nd thing, Lamar Odom is a good PF...  
24 ppg, 12.5 rpg, 2.4 apg, 3.8 tpg on 44% shooting...

3rd, is that Devin Hinkle apparently lacks some stamina, but he can play
28 mpg (starter), 6 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 0.5 apg, 2.3 spt, 0.5 bpg, 1.3 tpg onn 55% field...

4th, is that Marko Jaric must have done some drugs in the offseason...
28% shooting

5th is that Kirk Hinrich can do everything but shoot, his best quality from lat year....
14.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 8.3 apg, 1.8 spg, 2.3 tpg on 43% field and 31% 3.

And Finally, that Brian Cardinal is back..
20 mpg, 9 ppg on 62% field and 57% from 3.

Only good things...  Hinkle played well at the SF, let's see if he can continue in the next sim.  Cardinal will get more time since Odom is gone, and he can still light it up.  And Hinrich's rebounding and steals are a huge improvement over next year.

Let's hope Lebron brings a little magic to the Warriors next sim...  
Of course, in 14 games, I have played 5 at home.  And in the next sim,. the circus is coming back to town, because I have 8 of 10 on the road.

But after the next sim, I will have 34 home games left, compared with 24 away games.  Going to have to do well at home to make it back in the playoff race.

Only had 2 people miss last week.  1 has been replaced.

[RaptorsGM]

The time has always been put in by all of our members. Way to go. This happens every year, too.

We have a good group of GM's.

[PacersGM]

Now if everyone would put their star players on the block before they trade them, this would be a perfect league.

so maybe i should put redd,artest and jo on the block to statisfy you?
possible that one will be gone till next sim so keep coming with pms for them.

[RaptorsGM]

Calm down and take a damn joke.

Christ this league is so damn uptight. Maybe we should just get rid of the message boards completely and just run a sim.

I thought this was for fun, guys. That's what you all keep telling me, then you can't even take a joke.

[PacersGM]

so who can´t see a joke when it is posted...

can´t you see the sarcasm run all over  

never meant to hurt you
