Sim 6 Discussion

[MagicGM]

went 1-2 with some experimentations.

[SixersGM]

3 key players in the injured list
Good thing i got guys like Malik, RIP and Caron Butler to step up in the holes left by my injured players..

Anyway, I went 4-4 this sim. TD had a good game where he scored 51points while RIP had his share scoring 31points.

[NetsGM]

Kenyon Martin over Pierce is an absolute joke...

Yeah, evidently I have ruffled a few feathers with my position changes.

A healthy PP still would have been over Martin, IMO.

And nah, I don't really care.  All-star means nothing.

But Pettit > Allen.

[RaptorsGM]

Hornets are happy to have 3 representatives on the All-Star team: Shawn Marion, Kenyon Martin, and the young Shaun Livingston (who appears to have been the starting pg).

BTW, Yao's 5 shot attempts may be due to the fact that he had limited playing time b/c of foul trouble...

Yao gets 5 shots in 19 minutes with 5 fouls. Billups plays 2 more minutes, gets 12 shots! BTW, Duncan also had 5 fouls and gets to play 28 minutes.

Honestly, who cares, really, when the finals in the DUNK CONTEST are a 6'5, 6'2, 6'0 players. FBB can be stupid

[KingsGM-old]

Hm...went 4 - 2. Was hoping for 5 - 1 but ok...

1 point loss to the Clips. Damn, i think i 'm something like 0 - 15 in 3 seasons against them  

Very satisfied with Marbury, he's really playin great and James is good also.
Broderick Louisetti is turning into a real nice player;

vs Lakers: 14pts, 7reb, 9a
vs Spurs: 10pts, 5as
vs Hornets: 16pts, 3as, 7reb

And some weird results; against the Clips 6 guys in double figures,

Tmac: 35 pts, 8 reb
Miller: 16pts, 16reb, 3 bl
Marbury: 16pts, 17as, 7 reb
+ 3 more guys with 10 points each and still lost the game. Man i wonder what do i have to do to beat that team. The Clips are really deep and had great overall effort too.

Against Hornets: Marion murdered Tmac with 32 pts, 14reb, 4st and 2 block leaving Tmac with 5 fouls and only 8 points and i still won the game
 

But what's really making me happy is that the Kings are becoming one of the best reboundings team in the league. In last 2 sims my team outrebounded almost every team. I hope this will continue.

hmm i am not sure but i think there have been dunking contest with guys shorter than 6´0 so that is not so surprising...

i think that petit lost against allen because orlando deserved an allstar and the nets had already two. with kidd injured i believe that allen was the only choice.

the east is really deep if you look at Allstar roster there are at least four maybe 5 guys who could or shloud have been there also.
like kidd,pierce,pettit maybe lamar and carmelo also...  not to forget amarre

[RaptorsGM]

Yes, but the 6'0 guy we;re talking about is Allen Iverson. HE DOESN'T DUNK!

Might as well have been Earl Boykins vs. Mason Mercer.

[PacersGM]

AI can still dunk but it isn´t worth an invitation to the slam dunk contest..

i am not sure but i heard a rumor that earl can also dunk. would be funny to see a contest between earl and nate...

[NetsGM]

Yes, but the 6'0 guy we;re talking about is Allen Iverson. HE DOESN'T DUNK!

This is a SIM.  His jumping rating is probably more like when he came out of georgetown than now.

(Yes, each player does have a "jumping" rating).

BTW, for dunk contests:

[PacersGM]

another example of a guy under 6´0 who will be in a dunk competition for sure....

[OldNuggetsGM]

Went 4-1 this sim.  Finally beat the Clippers.     I think that now takes my record against them to something like 1-22 over the last few years.  

Anyway, Vince Carter went down for 3-and-a-half games, during which the team went 3-1.  So that was definitely encouraging.  Camby disappeared this sim; w/o running the numbers, I'd say he averaged about 25 MPG.  I definitely need him to play more.

Carter and Boykins both made the All-Star Team, with Boykins getting a nice 6-1 A/TO ratio in the game.  Carter was busy, starting at SG and appearing in both the 3-point shootout and dunk contest.

[HornetsGM]

Wow, Marion had a real test this sim against some of the best shooting guards in the league. He faced Kobe, AI, Gatling, Ginobili and McGrady. Here's how he faired against them:

Marion : 33 ppg (48%), 11.4 rpg, 4 apg, 1.8 topg
Oppos: 16.4 ppg (50%), 2.8 rpg, 2.8 apg, 1.4 topg

Considering the level of competition he faced, I am very happy with these numbers.

[GoldenStateGM]

An OK, sim, nothing to complain about...
3-3 sim, with some very tough games away from home. 1 games at home, won both.   Won 2 of 5 away, which is not bad, especially against tough competition.

Turkoglu is injured again, 2nd time this season.

Araujo finally made the All-Star game, which is well deserved.
Hinkle made the Sophmore team, also well deserved.
Little disappointed that Hinrich was not on the All-Star team.  He is quite close to Bibby statistically, I am sure it was a close vote.

[HornetsGM]

Hm, I'm pretty happy with my team right now.
I am a little worried about the offseason since I have to re-sign 3 of my current starting 5... However, all 3 have pretty high loyalty, so I should be able to get it done.

Add on an almost certain top 5 draft pick (a very conservative estimate), and my team is looking pretty damn good.

[NetsGM]

only played 3 games this sim, but wow.

PPG: +21.7 (108.3 vs. 86.6)
RPG: +12.6 (58.6 vs. 46)
TOPG: -1.3 (13 vs. 14.3)
FG%: +8.5% (47.4% vs. 38.9%)
3pt%: +10.8% (36.3% vs. 25.5%)

Excellent offensive display.  Excellent defensive display.  And talk about an excellent rebounding display, WOW.  

Last two sims have been incredible.
