I know its very, very early but man, Ward is a dissapointment so far. 5 games, 24 mpg, 5 ppg, 4 rpg, 3 apg, 4.4 apg, 38 FG%, 50 FT%, 33 3P% Don't forget all the turnovers...  He'll be alright, year just got started... |

qucik statement to my only loss. both teams shot incredible weak but this is expected from the first game of the season. Nets did it with offensive rebounding and block shots. Since i didn´t expect to win this matchup i am very pleased with my start.

...
can't wait to see how my roster would go with Dwight already getting healthy...
Well, since you lost your first three games with Howard still healthy and went 4-2 without him I wouldn't want to wait on that too much ...  |

As everybody around here, I had a great first sim, at least to my (lower) standards. Most of the time, going 3-5 is nothing to be happy about, BUT ... ... three of the five losses came from the Raptors - including their closest win, a 7pt nailbiter at Air Canada C., in another loss Kaman and Darko held Yao to 25/9 & fouling him out in 26 min. ... the other two losses were @Clips and vs. Magic, which is acceptable ... it is HOW my guys played that made me happy. Radman getting 21ppg, Kaman shooting .750, Jefferson finally performing (10/7 and 1.5blks in 20 backup minutes), Darko big surprise, Eddy getting 8+ boards with C+ rebounding, Johnson & VanExel shooting .640 ... and my team getting 11stl with 12.5 TOs per game - which is amazing for me ! On the downside, Geiger and Lenard had a tough time so far, but they'll come along. And with such a frontcourt, I can hardly complain  I feel very good right now and even though I got swept by the dinosaurs, I see good things ahead. For the first time I feel like having found a balanced lineup I will stay with for a while (minor corrections aside). Too early to proclaim that the Celtics are back, but the foundation has been laid ... |

Yeah, I've got some options That's why I think the two best teams in the east are, far and away, the raptors and I. We can beat you many different ways, on both sides of the ball. Inside or out. Slow or fast. The past two years I've tried to put the defensive clamps on people, and it worked (106 regular season wins the last two years). But this year I'm gonna run you out of the building. sorry thats the first time you are way off with your statement. yea raps and nets are the best teams in the east but not for their abilities to beat a team in so many ways. it is simple the fact that both teams have an incredible 1-2 bunch. My team is at least as good in changing strats as yours an i believe that the wizards are also. And yes Artest will avg. something like 8ass during the season. Last year i tried it after my trade for carmelo and he avg over 10 in one sim but he also had some problems staying in front of the quicker guards and turned the ball over too many times. I will try a lot of different lineups this year maybe even small ball and run every one out of the building Actually, that's where you are wrong. I don't win just because of my 1-2 punch. Now, I do have easily the best 1-2 in the League. But to win in FBB, you have to create a 1-2 punch, and THEN fill the holes with star players. I have Yao and Peja, averaging 67 points and 24 rebounds per game. That's is incredible. But then I have a PF who is among the best in the League at rebounding and shot blocking. I have a PG who is the league's best distrubutor, and one of the best defenders. I have a great bench with Cato, Crawford, House, etc. It's not about having a great 1-2 punch. The Sixers have had an amazing 1-2 punch for years (Dunkin' and Iverson). WHat has it got them? |

sorry but tim and AI never avg the same amount of points rebound or anything like you did. i think the next best 1-2 punch is now KG and -Gatling.
yea you have great role players who could be stars at other teams like baron but i still believe that it is the star players who are the difference between win and loss. Look at the Mavs the have possible more talent and depth than anyone else.

Look at the Mavs the have possible more talent and depth than anyone else. From a pure scoring perspective, KG and Gatling are next. It'as only been one sim do far, but while KG is the best all-around PF, Gatling has not done much more then score. 3 reb and 3 assists, bad for a SG, although like I said, only one sim so far. I think the key is having a 1,2,3 punch... A third player who can carry the load when one of the stars fouls out, or has a bad game... Wolves have that as well, with KVH... |

Look at the Mavs the have possible more talent and depth than anyone else. Look at the West leading Kings. They don't have a 1-2 punch, they have a bunch of talent. Same deal with the Rockets. It's not about 1-2, it's talent. Tell you what. Get a copy of FBB with the same ratings of this League. Put Yao and Dunkin' on the same team. Best 2 players on 1 team. Fill the team up with marginal players. I'm not saying scrubs, just guys like Fisher. I doubt they would win 50 games. |

Now that Livingston has been moved back to PG, his defense jumped up to an A- from a B+. C+ in, B+ out, A- handle, A- def, C- rebounding, A potential, all while being a 6'7" PG... Has anyone ever seen a PG win MVP in SSBA?  Because Livingston, in 2 TC's, could be the first ever... |

I disagree. You're not going to get 5 stars. I agree that you want role players. I would consider Mihm, Dalembert, Billups, and Battier roleplayers. But what you need is 2-3 roleplayers who excel at their role, not do things adequately. Dalembert is the best in the league at blocking shots, and one of the best rebounders. Mihm is one of the best rebounders in the league. Battier is one of the better all-around defenders. Even Davis, while an all-star, IMO is a supersized roleplayer. You can't get Shaq, Marion surrouned by Kirilenko, Kidd and Pettit |
