Sim 3 Preview/Discussion

[BullsGM-old]

6-0

Beat the Pistons twice.  Dean Drew = steal of the Draft

This team is only going to get more deep once I get Crawford

[SpursGM-old]

Went 6-4...a little better than I had hoped for.  Need to look at the results more closely.

East is loaded at top but every non-playoff team is below .400  


EDIT:  I am even more impressed with my showing....Arenas missed 7 games due to injury and I still went 6-4.

[BullsGM-old]

Yeah the Hawks (9th place) are 4.5 games behind me.  I don't want to jinx anything, but hopefully I'll get my first playoff berth this year

[BullsGM-old]

Pierce has taken the injury bug from Chicago and given it to Golden State.  Hinrich out 51 games, ouch

Mercer is quietly improving his ass/to ratio.  This sim (6 games) 9.5 apg/4 topg which is great for his standards.  He went from averaging 8 apg/5.7 topg in the first sim to averaging of 8.4/4.7 apg for the season.

[KingsGM-old]

2 -3 without Marbury for the most of the part. Still don't have a clear answer on what should i do. I'll wait one more sim. Or the deadline the latest.

[BullsGM-old]

Wow, 2.5 games seperate the Grizzlies (3rd in the West) from the Kings (2nd last)..

[KingsGM-old]

This kid Lousietti is just a great starter. 2 games starting over injured Marbury and he went for 15pts, 3s, 9as, 7rebs / 21pts, 4st, 9as, 6rebs. If he could only have better defense i would start him.

[RaptorsGM]

lol.

0-8.

Yao loves the fast pace though.

[KingsGM-old]

I hope you won't take that 1st pick away from me!

[RaptorsGM]

It might be cloes, cause I'm running at a damn fast pace until everyone catches up with Yao.

[CavsGM]

Wooden, I deeply apologize for not using you until now. Averaged 9, 3, 3 and 1 with good shooting in 19 MPG off the bench. Very nice indeed.

Sure we cannot defend at all, 3rd worst in the league, but neither can the opposing team...
2nd in scoring, 5th in rebounding, 8th in blocks, and 3rd in TO. This has gotta be the surprise team of the year. Up until this point, at least.

[HawksGM]

4-3 sim for the Hawks.  Trenton Dench had a very strong sim at the point.  Jameer didn't shoot as much at the 2 which is what I like.  The big thing of the sim was beating the Hornets twice.  That's a shocker to me how I could beat the Hornets, but Dench held his own if not even outplaying Shaun Livingston who I think is probably the biggest nightmare in the SSBA.  I'm happy with my sim and in 9th place but closer to last than 8th.

[SpursGM-old]

2nd best thing about this sim....my draft pick is now lower than the Raptors.  

[HawksGM]

Dench amazed me this ism with his ability to be a very solid starting point.

His averages were:
Points: 17.7 with a C C scoring rating, go figure
Assits: 5 not bad for C+ handles
Rebounds: 6 very good for a 6'1 PG with a D+ rebounding
Steals: 3 what I expected him to be good for
Turnovers: 2.5 not good but I'll take it as long as we're winning games.

This is the most exciting thing that I think has happened to my team since I drafted Tanner, but hopefully this turns out different, although Tanner is becoming what I thought he could be now.

[CelticsGM]

My Celtics did start their first baby steps in the right direction. A 2-2 sim is not what I was expecting but there were some positive signs.

Playing the @Spurs, @Nuggets, Bulls and @Hawks I was hoping for a sweep but apparently curing my shooting woes takes some time.

The defense was there for sure holding the opp down to 41, 38, 37 and 34% shooting. But apart from a 63% fg%, 123pt breakout game vs. the Nuggets my offense was still hovering around 40% while scoring 83ppg.

Rebounding was slightly better but still cost me the Spurs game.


Now let's see what the future brings. A lot more home games for sure so all post season aspirations are very well alive ...
