I went 0-5, probably the most embarassing moment of my ssba career the Raptors beat me 130-76 and Yao had 69 points on me, unbelieveable

LOL
owned.

Really not a bad sim for me, considering my schedule:

61 Hornets @ Nets W
62 No Game
63 Hornets @ Wizards L
64 Hornets @ Supersonics W
65 Hornets @ Timberwolves L
66 No Game
67 Hornets @ Mavericks W
68 No Game
69 Hornets @ Nuggets W
70 No Game

I did lose the top spot in the central division, but that's to be expected. I am 5 games ahead of the Magic for the 3rd spot in the conference though.

Now, I played some solid teams, but I lost 2 games at home which was very disconcerting.

My defense was poor.  gave up 46.9% shooting, 37% from 3 pt.  But I still had more points per shot than mjy opponent (1.15 to 1.13).  So what happened?

I turned the ball over like crazy.  I was -5 per game in turnovers.  17.2 is unacceptable.  Earl Boykins had a terrible ballhandling sim.  8.8 assists to 3.5 turnovers.  That's not what i signed him for.  And it completely negates his offensive production (23 ppg, 50% shooting, 38.5% 3pt).

Pettit was good (28.5, 4.3 assists, 48%, 44%).  Okafor struggled with his shooting (17.3 ppg on only 37% shooting, a season low 0.88 pps), but did collect 13 boards and 4.5 blocks, and held starting pf's to 37.6% shooting.  he's the only starter that can hold his head high defensively.  Dalembert held his own defensivley, and did a great job on Hoffa (16 pts on 6-20 shooting) and Biedrins (6 pts), but let guys like Swift, and ben wallace shoot far too effectively.  

Bailey did chip in 2.25 assists in only 7 minutes off the bench.  Darko had 2 solid games (10 pts in 11 minutes one game, 6 rebounds the other), other than that didn't do much.  

I guess when I turn the ball over like that, I will lose.  But damn i'm upset with some of my guys defensively (particularly Battier and Pettit, who just didn't get it done this sim).

Well, some good news, some bad news.

The Good News:

Yao's 69 points against the Hawks. Shatters the old record of 58 or 59.

My team finally caught up wth Yao. 6-3 sim.

The Bad News:

My pick is now 4th.

The Sprs pick is now 13th.

as promised...(based on games since arrival on respective teams)

Booth:

30.4 mpg, 10.3 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 1.0 apg, 0.67 spg, 2.7 bpg, 1.1 TOpg

Kaman:

29.6 mpg, 7.9 ppg, 10.7 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.62 spg, 1.4 bpg, 1.6 TOpg


Booth +0.8 ppg, -1.0 rpg, -0.3 apg, +0.05 spg, +1.3 bpg, -0.5 TOpg


ADVANTAGE BOOTH, however I don't need Kaman's scoring, so it's good that he's rebounding better, and I have Curran getting more minutes to make up for loss of shotblocking. I'm tempted to start Curran at C, since it appears Kaman will do roughly the same as a backup and I could get more PT for Joe Smith, however, I don't know how much I like having a 6'9" center.

You keep saying "your team is catching up to Yao".

Do you realize that Opposing starting C's are shooting nearly 4% higher against Yao than they did last year?  That their points per shot has gone from 1.06 to 1.14 points per shot against yao?  That yao's fouls per minute have gone up?

That's ok.

I went 6-3.

Domintated most games.

[BullsGM-old]

Beat the Magic twice, the Kings and the Mavs but lost some tough ones against the Rockets (twice, first game by 1 point), and the Heat.

So decent sim overall, went 4-3 but should have been 6-1

Lakeshow is on the up-and-up

What is that, your first winning sim all season?  While you've "waited to catch up to Yao" (who's not playing as good of defense as last year despite going UP in ratings), you've gone from a 60 win team to a team that won't be .500.

Rebuilding year.

I could play at a normal pace and probably sneak into the playoffs as the 8th seed, lose in 4.

I'd rather try to find a style of pace that could lead me back to 60 ins next year.

[HornetsGM]

How does a 7'6 310 lb center crack the top ten in minutes played running a very fast pace?

[BullsGM-old]

Man, I need to get that 5th seed, right now I'm 1.5 games back of it.  I match up really well against the Magic

[NetsGM]

so you say you could win more games by running a normal pace but you say you're trying to find a pace that best fits your team?

:confused:

(I know that isn't a real emoticon, but I should find one for it)

He's the best player in the league, that's how

Believe me, I'm shocked that he likes the fast pace.
