Sim 2 Discussion

[NetsGM]

It's up.

Went 7-0.  But damn, look at the rest of the east  

And Emeka's down for another 3 games.

[RaptorsGM]

Well Yao certainly loced the fast pace.

41 pts, 11 rebs, 7 asts, 5 blks vs he C's. That's a hell of a game.

50/16/5 vs the Bucks. Amazng

Lost 2 very, very close games, thinking about leaving the pace at fast for a few more sims.

Too bad that the Spurs go 4-4

[BullsGM-old]

Considering my schedule, not a bas sim AT ALL, even though I went 3-6.  I'm still only 0.5 games out of a playoff spot

I lost to the Pacers (3 times), the Nets (by 2), the Clippers and the Wiz.  I beat the Wizards, Magic and Spurs.  

Mercer exploded, hes now averaging 25/4/8 with 2 spg for the season.  

Griffin played great as a 3rd option, 16/11/3 with 1.3 bpg

Dean Drew calmed down with the defense but is still averaging 15/4/3 with 1.8 spg.  I'm going to have to look at the Opp FG% to see if he's still holding his own with the C defense

[SpursGM-old]

Yeah, I agree.  I was hoping for 8-0.  


Actually I tried some changes in the first sim (reducing press & trap to sometimes) and it backfired big time.  I averaged almost 4 more turnovers per game than my opponents.  

Restored those this time as well as switching my focus to outside.  Lost to the Clippers & Bulls on the road and to Jazz & Grizzlies at home.  Brought my t/o differential down to under 2 a game.

1 big downer....Hobson broke his skull in the final game and is out 55 games.

Need to analyze further......

[SunsGM]

Went 4-4 Pretty happy with the sim wasent great but it kept me right around the middle of the Conf.

I usually dont post in these discussion threads, but I actually have something to say this time around....

Garret Petit is a Bastard!

I've never beaten the Nets and I'm actually used to loosing to them, i'm not happy about it. though, and I look at the Box score and  held the Nets to 88 pts (a combo of slow pace and Good def),force Boykins into 7-27 shooting,and pretty much hold Okafor in check, but Petit once bales the Nets out. Thats probally why he's the best player to ever come out of any of out drafts(even going back to the old league) and may be one of the first to go into our hall of fame.

Thats all

[HawksGM]

I knew my 4-4 start was too good to be true.  I go 1-7 and now I must play with my lineup.  Jameer Nelson needs to stop his horrible shooting (props to the CelticsGM for calling that).  The thing I'm most impressed by is Matthew Marion.  He's appearing to be a good all-around player for me and I'm liking what I'm seeing from him.

[CelticsGM]

went 1-6 with my new lineup which is hardly a surprise (I always lost big time when changing more than two positions simultaneously - FBB is very strict here - thats why I'll wait another sim before panicking)

Ginobili went down for 3 games (including my win) but I hardly lost a beat then. Van Exel filled in nicely and the losses both were by 1 pt (@ Knicks and @ Nets in OT with Emeka). What's more puzzeling is that I got blown out 3 times WITH Gino - despit him doing all I wanted: Holding down opposing SGs (Keogan 10pts below his average), scoring, rebounding.

The good:
- Rookie PG Elliott with a 6/11/10 game in 30 minutes (+ 3stl, 5 TO)
- Lenard knocking on the door
- holding opponents to 42% shooting (three under 38%)

The bad
- My team completely forgot how to shoot. Everyone but Lenard. 39% on the year.
- Leader Radmanovic unable to shoot and worse on defense, his speciality last season. Take a seat, man
- I'm getting outrebounded big time most of the time. Hardly a surprise considering my ratings (but that also was different last year with the same people)


Less changes are to follow.

[SixersGM]

My frontcourt is scoring half my team's total points TD (37.5ppg and Tanner 19ppg).

With the absence of ginobili, my young guys are stepping up like what i expected.

[NetsGM]

HawksGM has gotta be near suicidal.

Tanner scoring 20 ppg on 53% shooting with 3 blocks.  Schenk scoring 17 ppg with 8 apg on 52.8% shooting, 51.5% from 3 pt.

And, of course, Carmelo scoring 22.7 ppg with 7 boards, 4 assists, 1.6 steals on 49% shooting, 42% from 3 pt.

[NetsGM]

Thats all

But he scored below his average

And I hope he's not the first one into the hall.  Because that will mean for some odd reason he retired before TD or KG.

[NetsGM]

Thinking part 2 deleted? Why?

Because it was the 2nd post you've made in the thread that literally said nothing.

If you're going to post, say something in your post.

Tanner scoring 20 ppg on 53% shooting with 3 blocks.  Schenk scoring 17 ppg with 8 apg on 52.8% shooting, 51.5% from 3 pt.

And, of course, Carmelo scoring 22.7 ppg with 7 boards, 4 assists, 1.6 steals on 49% shooting, 42% from 3 pt.

But still, his team is pretty good.

lol, Tanner is surprising the hell out of as is Schenk.  But Melo I knew would eventually come around, I just thought he might not re-sign with me.  But yea I'm now trying to keep my young guys but isn't gonna be easy if I keep losing.  Jameer is a headache percentage wise.

[BlazersGM]

Not a great sim,won 2 and lost 3 at home,lost and won one away,for 3-4,first trashed nuggets by 35 points,then lost by Sonics at home by 23(they made 17 points advantage in last quarter) then beat Hawks by five away,lost to Nuggets 144-139 in OT !!!,lost to Suns by 3 at home,got trashed by Knicks 20 points at home and beat Wizards.Its a young team still so better things are yet to come.....altough was hoping much more after team went 5-1 first sim with losing only to Detroit in OT and playing more away,this time they performed bad at home.

[NetsGM]

I'm just dumbfounded.

Right now the 4th seed in the east has a .889 winning percentage.

 

Nets: 13-2
Pistons: 12-3
Pacers: 11-3
Hornets: 8-1

Combined: 44-9
