I'm just wondering, in theory a slower pace would mean less turnovers right?

It would mean more TO's for your PG because he handles the ball more.

Raptors 115 Heat 106 --Nice payback from the last defeat at the hands of the Heat. Davis had 31 points and 11 assists, huge game for him. 4-4 from beyond the arc for Davis as well. Yao was awesome with 27 points and 16 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Raptors 108 Bucks 86 --Donta Smith actually got the better of Peja, but Yao came up huge with 26 points and 15 rebounds. Mihm was awesome as well, with 18 points and 19 rebounds, good enough for player of the game.

Raptors 106 Lakers 93 --Peja saved us here, as Mihm fouled out, Yao had 5 fouls and Davis had 4. Peja had 41 points and 12 rebounds, which is just a monster game. Yao completely shut down Haywood. Lovelette played extended minutes and looked good.

Raptors 102 Cavs 87 --4th straight win by 9 or more points. Davis came up big with 24 points and 12 assists. Peja had 27 points and 11 rebounds, another great game for him. Yao had 21 points and 16 rebounds.

Raptors 96 Celtics 78 --Another blowout. Peja had 34 points. Mihm had 18 points and 10 rebounds despite getting a good rest period on the bench. Yao shot terribly, 4-18, but did grab 18 rebounds.

Raptors 128 Spurs 80 --Wow, talk about blowouts, but 48 points takes the cake. Peja had 40 points in 43 minutes. Yao was huge with 35 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists. Davis had 22 points and 14 rebounds.

Mavs 110 Raptors 79 --Haha, another blowout, but I was on the wrong end of it this time. Had no answer for Dirk. Araujo and Damp kept Yao off the boards, he had only 5. Mihm had 20 points and 18 rebounds, but for some reason felt the need to take 26 shots, 10 more than Peja. Oh well, it's only 1 loss.

Overall, I'm so thrilled with this team. I have EASILY the best rebounding tandem in the League, with Mihm and Yao BOTH being in the top 5. I also have the best scoring tandem in the League with Yao and Peja both in the top 10.

My big 4 has come up huge. Love this team.

Off to the same start as last year, please don't repeat last year.

Not necessarily.  Slower pace means less possessions.  Less possessions generally means less turnovers.

why in the world webber and miller gets every single game in foul trouble?

netsGM; i've put fred jones in the mix 2 sims ago and he's still haven't played a single minute, why?

You put him at 3rd string at 1 position.  Especially with the amount of minutes McGrady plays, I wouldn't expect him to play unless an injury occurs.

Think of him as Kevin Ollie on the Sixers.

[CelticsGM]

Guess I was wrong on a couple of trades

Magic - Grizzlies: Everyone ripped the Magic who went 5-2 since, while the Grizz, who I thought got their All Star Lineup complete, went 2-6. Talk about chemistry here ...

Cavs - Warriors: Again, the Bay Area guys went 3-7 WITH BronBron, the suddenly teaming Cavs left week 4 with a not so shabby 3-3.

This might not be the world, but at least it shows that even the "losing" GMs knew something we other "experts" didn't ...

[KingsGM-old]

Wow. 6-1 again.

I rule.

TO's are way down for Baron. He's leading in APG again too.

Breakdown will come later.

your schedule was laughable...you played against only one contender and you were blowned away...

if he continue to play this many minutes, does the danger of injury increase?

3-3 is not as good as I wanted.

I lost to the Kings twice by TWO points each time.

Take a look at Shaq vs the Kings in game two:
42 Points, 24 Rebounds

Joe Smith against the Pacers: 22 Rebounds

[NetsGM]

Kings: not that I know of, no.

No offense, but your team is laughable.

I'm 17-5, leading the Eastern Conference. It might have something to do with the fact that my team is good, and not just that my opponents were weak.

And I played the Heat, who last I checked were contenders.

no shame losing to powerhouse...

[KingsGM-old]

Kings: not that I know of, no.

but how does it affect on overall play? i see tmac numbers are down from 33ppg to 31...

i mean, if there is no affect then we can play our starting lineup for 48 minutes?  

[NetsGM]

Your starting lineup won't play for 48 minutes.

This is what we mean by playing with your lineup.  Play McGrady more.  Play McGrady less.  See what it does to his productivity.

I do not know everything about the program.

nothing vs your team, you have one the best teams out there but the last 6 games were;

bucks - one of the worst teams in the league

lakers - one of the worst teams in the west

cavs - 2 games above .50 + they're up and down with all these trades

celtics - nuff said

spurs -  one of the worst teams in the west


that's my point...
