went 2-4. There are still needs to apply regarding my trade.

but it was a good deal IMO. But I think I played my starter too long in the court.

Arenas, to begin his Magic career, started off with an impressive 9 out of 13 in FG's while shooting 80% from downtown during that game. to top it off, he ended up having 29points.

next game against the blazers he didn't shoot very well, but him and kidd combined with 9 steals.

against thw wizards, unfortunately a lost, Kidd almost went crazy being 2 steals away from a very rare quadruple double with 19points 10 rebounds 11 assists and 8 steals. damn it! damn Vince Davies should have played wrecklessly..

Arenas has toned-down a bit with his tunovers though.

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.

I agree partly.

It reminds me of my first year here when winning wasn't as important as seeing who of my kids can play and what play setup suits me better. Could I have won more games always playing the best lineup? Sure. But I wouldn't learn anything from it.

So this "experimental" linups were part of the rebuilding that made my team now (no need to comment on my "success" with that strategy now, guys). I hope you get the point.


Just one tiny difference.
It looked a lot better with my team since I DIDN'T HAVE MY 1ST RD PICK ANYMORE ...

Hey, I'm CELTICS not HAWKS !

lol

actually I got that quote from Dion Glover of the atlanta hawks

[CelticsGM]

So the first sim after my (probably) last big deal of the season. Snow and pet project Darko are out, Chauncey is in.

Now what happened?

First I lost all home games (Pacers, Clippers and, unacceptable, Kings) and won all road games (Bucks, Suns, Wizards, Blazers). Opponents shot 51% in losses, held them to below 40% in wins.

Switch to inside focus cost Lenard and Gasol some shooting%, but Jamison (63%), Billups ( 8ppg/4apg on 58%) and Elliott shot way better. For the sim my team was around 47% which is fine.

What puzzles me though are two things: In the losses my opponents got hot from SG: TMac 16-27, Maggette 12-19, Carmelo 13-22. Wasn't I supposed to have some D there? And though my PG defense was great this sim with Elliott/Billups here comes Starbury for a monster game (12-15, 7r, 8a, 2st, 1bk).


So all in all the way up continues for the Celtics, but the playoffs more or less depend on getting a hot streak soon and avoiding any extended losing streak. Need to go 23-17 or better the rest of the way to even have a slight chance, so the experimental things will stop now.

you missed a big point. you tried a lot different lineups and strats. The raptors aren´t even trying this. Or can you explain why wright is getting any playing time? why he never tried to play yao maybe one sim at PF?
why he didn´t change anything after lossing all games after a sim? Only reason: it is against his goal.  

[RaptorsGM]

PacersGM, your missing the BIGGEST point : You're not the RaptorsGM, and you have no business telling me how to experiment with my team. It isn't up to you if I play Yao at PF. I'm not open to suggestions regarding how to run my team, I'm experimenting with my own plan in mind.

Heh, I forgot to take out Rasoh, big deal. I won 6 games last sim. That makes me look pretty good after losing 5 of 6 last sim. It proves my theory that my team CAN win at a fast setting.

[RaptorsGM]

^^^^That might be a decent deal for you Nets, just so long as he keeps "trying to get a higher pick"...

BTW this is the New and Improved RaptorsGM laying off this comment so as to avoid an argument.

Obviously, you're drunk.

First time you've ever made me laugh out loud before, Kings.

That struck me as hilarious.

[KingsGM-old]

And yeah, Kings are rebuilding. All offers are welcome.

[PacersGM]

Heh, I forgot to take out Rasoh, big deal. I won 6 games last sim. That makes me look pretty good after losing 5 of 6 last sim. It proves my theory that my team CAN win at a fast setting.

heh i never tried to tell you how to run a team. i just made my point why i think this is a very thin line you are going and i think it is a form of tanking.
And i already posted that you win last sim. but not because of your superior settings. you win because it seems that in FBB there is something that will give you an advantage if you play lineups like the sixers did a view seasons ago. In your last sim you had no backup for your C or PF . so a SG/SF played there.
Biggest question is how demarr is off the IL without your knowledge since i can´t see a depth chart where you posted it.

You talked about Wright not playing.

You talked aout Yao playing PF.

That sounds to me like you are telling me what I should be doing.
