This season couldn't start soon enough, we're resorting to the metric vs imperial debate  Laughing

Few games to start off with in the first sim. Sonics, back to back with the Hornets, Grizzlies, and Bulls for a total of 5 games. But these are pretty good teams. I'm hoping for a 3-2.

I'm pumped.

I'm going to leave my focus at outside up until the all-star break, probably with a fast pace.  no matter the results.  

For the last 2 years, I've pretty much either had my offense at balanced or inside, with my pace at slow.  I've done this for 22 out of 24 regular season sims.  I think I've held Pettit back.

I'm excited to see the results.  I'm hoping Pettit responds by being top 5 in the league in scoring, that Billups increases his scoring, and Emeka chips in by picking up his 13 boards, 3 blocks, and a guaranteed double-double.

This is the year of the Pettit.  Be warnred.

switching the focal point of an organization is always tough.  For me it was Tanner before he was even on my team and he's not a #1 option so I'm still in the process of finding the right guy.  You have the convenience of having Petit already there.  I think he'll respond w/28 or more ppg and Emeka will probably be a dominant defender and rebounder.  Then there's Sammy and Chauncey, o boy wish i had that to fall back on if the plan doesn't work

I'm sort of hesitant with changing my gameplay.  I'm using the same settings I had before the injuries last season, so I think I should do well.  As always, I'm hoping Mercer and Pierce control their turnovers.  I'm hoping for 7.5 between the 2

Yeah, I've got some options Wink

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.

And, if it doesn't work, I can always switch back.

I just wish Dalembert and Battier were a little more of 2-way players.  But I guess I can't be greedy.  Last year Billups dropped 20 a night when I switched to outside, if I can just get 18 out of him that would be great.

I'm ALWAYS hesitant of change.  Always.  

I mean, shoot, for 4 of my 5 starters, this will be the 3rd straight year starting here.  For the other one it's his 2nd.  I've turned down top 3 picks 2 straight years for dalembert, and he's only the 3rd best player on the team.  I'm very, very hesitant of change, especially when things are working.  I was like that with my old Nuggets team as well (up until the last year, it was all Telfair, Pietrus, Carmelo, Swift and Pavel for 2+ years).

But I'm glad I experimented the last 2 sims last year, that rested my fears.  Either way, even if it's an utter failure, I'm positive I can make the playoffs with this club.

Nets, just in case you already entered the settings for people who have their DC's in, I changed my pace from slow to normal

I'm doing the exact same thing I did all of last year...just put everything at Normal, and trust in my player's abilities.

Damn.  I couldn't shoot to save my life.

Not worried about that turning around though.  As I said, I'm sticking with this philosophy until All-star break, good or bad.

Wasn't expecting to do much better than 4-3 with all 7 games on the road anyhow.  Nice win over the pacers.  Good wins over the pistons and suns as well.  but when i lost, i got killed.

Battier out another 28 days Sad  This is not good.  Johnny Salmons is gonna have to step up big.    But that'll be a big blow to my defense.

But man...the percentages.  36.6% for emeka.  37.5% from dial.  41% from pettit.  40.7% from billups.  Those numbers can't continue.

Ugh, 2-3...Z played great, averaging 21, 11 and 3 on 58% shooting. Fletcher was superb as my backup PF/C, averaging 11 and 6 in 24 MPG. Odom needs to play better, and Ward perhaps set a record with his 10 TOs in 26 minutes. I think I need to slow down the pace. Andre was terrible himself as well.

Look at Gatling.  24 ppg with a 2/1 assist to turnover ratio.  He and Garnett are tough.
