Sim 1 Discussion

[JazzGM-old]

I start off the season with a 4-7 games at home, I feel I can go 6-1 winning all 4 at home and going 2-1 on the road.

[NetsGM]

Holy Hell.

I just checked my schedule.  WTF?!?!

Play 7 games in the first sim.  ALL 7 ON THE ROAD!.  Incredibly tough ones against the Pacers and Raptors.  Also get the Bucks, Grizzlies and Pistons.

God, if I can break .500 I'll be thrilled.

[HawksGM]

I got Celtics, Jazz, Bulls and Magic twice.  I see a 2-3 sim but wouldn't be shocked with a 1-4 Magic are tough but I think I can pull off a split

[KingsGM-old]

I wouldn't be surprised if i go 0-7...

[RaptorsGM]

I play 8 games.

Raptors @ Lakers  --Looking for an easy win to start off the season. Haywood may be able to slow Yao, but he can't stop him.
 Raptors @ Heat  --Yao should have his way again. Another win. It will be interesting to see the Okur/Mihm matchup.
Celtics @ Raptors  --Another win, hoping to start off the season 3-0. Celts don't have a post defender with better than B+ defense.
 Nets @ Raptors  --Biggest test of the first sim. Okaofr/Yao matchups have been historically very fun to watch. Could be first loss of season.
Raptors @ Celtics  --Wait, didn't we already play Another win here, hopefully.
76ers @ Raptors --Another tough, tough matchup. Mihm sometimes has a tough time defending the top PFs. However, Skinner is giving up 9 inches and alot of pounds to Yao.
Raptors @ 76ers --lol, see above.
Raptors @ Celtics --WHAT?? 3 times in one sim?? We only play 4 times the whole year, and 3 of them in the first sim.


Overall, hoping to sweep the Celtics, beat the Lakers, beat one of the Heat or Nets, and split with the Sixers. That's 6-2.

[RaptorsGM]

A side note, I know that Winnipeg just got a crazy storm, and power is out in alot of places. This is where the BullsGM lives, so if he doesn't get his DC in, that would be why.

[JazzGM-old]

I wouldn't be surprised if i go 0-7...

your starting lineup can match up with just about anyone in the league

Marbury, Tmac, Pietrus, Gooden, Miller with Moiso off the bench isn't bad at all, just need to help out some of your other bench players which you're trying to do apparently by putting your picks up for trade.

Marbury is much better than Francis whether ratings show it or not. And Brad Miller probably only went down slightly with defense which brought him to a B+ like NetsGM had alluded to in another relevant post. Will you be in the top of the league, no, will you be a playoff contender?...probably with a low seed.

[BullsGM-old]

9 games in 10 days, 5 on the road.

I play the Hornets, Nuggets, Heat, Jazz, Kings, Pacers, Grizzlies, Cavs.  Ouch. I play the Hawks once, I think the best case scenario would be 4-5 or 5-4 for me.

that is crazy with the 9 inch difference

Oh..lol.

Forget what I said about the Bulls

[BullsGM-old]

Just got power back yesterday, you know I couldn't miss sim 1  

But honestly, it was crazy, 110 km winds, something like 200 mm of rain at the airport, huge trees were uprooted, cars were flipped, telephone poles were destroyed, fences blown off... and this is Winnipeg we're talking about

[RaptorsGM]

Yeha, I saw the pictures on the News...scary shit.

And man, I wish we could borrow 50 mm of that rain or so

[GoldenStateGM]

My schedule is very light...  4 games, away against the Mavs and Suns, and home against the Clippers and Lakers...
Hoping to go 2-2 this sim, and see if this new team clicks...

[CelticsGM]

I play 8 games.

Gotta love those schedule makers. Guess I have a chance for some good start to the season if I can surprise the Raptors again (like last season in the first sim). Does it get any better then going against the best right away? Fresh legs, no injuries, no excuses, just PLAY !

In addition to the best-of-three series with the dinosaurs I have games in Clipperland and Atlanta coming as well as a chance to entertain the Knicks, Timmy's Sixers and the Magic. A .500 record would be a nice to kick off the year, but since there i no pressure on my guys we can just take a relaxed approach.



Now sweepin the Raptors would really make my day ...
