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) I think that I can win more games next year if I can build a team that CAN succeed at a fast pace, yes. |

Just looking at things on a per minute basis.
Yao's points per shot are exact same as last year.
His minutes are up. If you extrapolate his points/minute and rebounds/minute up to the minutes he's playing this year, he'd be averaging 34.5 and 14.5. In otherwords, 3 points less and pretty much equal rebounds.
His increase in points can be attributed to an increase in shots, the lack of peja.
His defense has gotten worse despite being a higher rated defender. And your team is losing despite your pg getting older.
:stillconfused:

:stillconfused: It's not all that confusing if you really, really want to think about it...I shouldn't sa much else though. |

You want your draft pick. Yup. I'm kinda pissed that it went to 4th, bt I obviously can't tank, it's against the rules. I want that top PF. |

remember that tanking is a subjective measure, and saying things like that probably isn't good publicly. the rules page lists possible things that indicate tanking, they're not the only thing.

I'm looking to the future, thats what you have to do in a rebuilding year.
I'm going to make my pace "very fast" this sim to see what happens, it's just an experiment, and I see nothing wrong with it.

well, now that he is admitting that he is going after the pick, and that 'experimenting' is just pretense... The line may have been crossed.

How?
Where does it say that I can't experiment? Where does it say that I can't play around with settings to see what works best/will work best next year.
I must have missed that part.

going 1-5 wasn't too good.
I would figure my team would be better suited for a slow pace, given that I have strong offense at all 5 positions, and it'd be easier to stop the floodgates defensively.
But apparently all it did was up my fouls and create even fewer TOs.
So I guess I'll try the exact opposite conditions this next sim. And if that doesn't work, it's probably trade block time.

it appeared to me that you were admitting that your true purpose was not 'experimentation', which I think is fine. It looks like you're saying that your real purpose is chasing those top PFs.
I won't nominate you, but I agree with the Nets that you probably shouldn't have said that publicly.

What IS tanking? WHO decides what the best DC/settings are for each team? IMO, the only thing that can truely be called tanking is not playing best players. |
