Sim 6 - 7 - Allstar Discussion

[NetsGM]

Nope, draft preview is exported from FBCB.  After it's exported, it can be re-imported 1000 times and stay the same.  Draft preview won't be affected.

[KingsGM-old]

Shit, there is no way i can repeat this sim:

Win over Nuggets by 22 and 18 , Grizzlies by 30 and 21 +. Just complete destruction of the opponent.

Damn!

[NetsGM]

Results back up.  All is well.

[NetsGM]

Hm...

5-3 rather than 8-0.

Now the #2 seed in the east, Dalembert injured.

Thanks, FBB.

[RaptorsGM]

You think that's bad. I go from 12-3, 4th in the East, 1 game back of 3rd to 8-7, 6th in the East, 4 games back of 3rd.

FBB is more luck than skill.

[NetsGM]

Dunleavy had a nice sim 7.

14 pts, 8.8 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals, 46% shooting, 46.6% 3pt as a non-option.

Of coourse, Dirk made him his absolute b*tch.

But outside of Dirk the next highest scorer against him in the 2 sims was 13 points, so not bad overall.  Oddly my offense failed me these two sims.  But my rebounding kept me in it.

[RaptorsGM]

Fuck, I hate FBB. Let's compare.

I forgot what it feels like to have a really good sim  

After going 9-8 the last 2 sims I wasn't all that impressed, but this 12-3 sim has gotten me homecourt advantage in the East, just 1 game back of 3rd. My 21-4 record at home is tops in the league, I believe.

Well I had another bad sim, and I'm very unimpressed again. I'm actually tied for 4th in the East again, but my now record of 18-7 at home is nowhere near tops in the league.

Raptors 112 Bulls 98 -- Yao went off with 43, 12 and 7 blocks. In total I had 6 guys in double figures, including Leo Sanders who played 11 mins off the bench and went 5-5 for 10 points. Max had a good game with 15 pts, 7 asts, 6 rebs. Dickau also played great with 13 pts, 9 rebs, 7 asts. Great to see the team total for assists was 29.

This time I still won, 86-85. Yao had 22 and 17. Max still had a good game with 22, 6 and 4. However, instead of having 29 assists, I had 18.

Wizards 80 Raptors 75 -- Ouch, at home no less. When you have a young team, you have to be prepared for losses like this. Shot just 35% as a team. Yao was the leading scorer with 21 pts and 16 rebs. Jefferson added a double double with 13 pts 10 rebs, but shot just 5-14. However, the big reason was Max went down with an injury just 3 mins into the game. This was the 2nd straight sim that Max has gone down, which is unfortunate.

This time I won, 107-98. Still shot poorly as a team, but at 39% instead of 35%. Thankfully, Max did not go down with an injury this time, and Yao had a much better game with 33 and 13.

Raptors 86 Magic 76 -- A tough, scrappy win by my guys. Yao came through with 35 pts and 10 rebs to lead the team. Garcia was able to chip in 10 pts and 11 rebs in JUST 17 MINUTES. Arbogast logged 44 good minutes at PG, scoring 9 pts and dishing 7 asts. His defense on Mangrum was acceptable.

Still won this game too, 113-73, a blowout. Yao had 44 and 16, and Jefferson had his breakout game here, with 23 and 14. Max shot just 1-10 but had 13 assists.

Raptors 117 Pacers 95 -- HUGE 22 point win over division rival! 5 players scored 14 or more points for me. Yao led the way with 35 pts 9 rebs. Perry had a great game with 18 pts, 6 rebs, 4 asts, 4 stls. Arbogast logged another solid amount of minutes, getting 15 points and 9 asts. This was probably the biggest win of the season as I try to hunt down a top 3 spot in the East.

Instead, the Pacers get me by 3, despite my guys holding them to 6 points in the 4th Q. Yao had an even better game with 34 and 20. However, Perry did not contribute, and Max failed to score a point.

Raptors 80 Sixers 73 -- Another great defensive win. This team is showing me that they can win a defensive game OR an offensive game. Yao had a phenomenal game with 25 pts, 21 rebs and 7 blks. And finally, FINALLY Jefferson showed his true colors with 21 pts, 16 rebs and 6 blks. I am really hoping for Jefferson to develop into a better defender to eventually succeed Yao at C. Arbogast had another good game, proving that I have THREE starting quality PGs on this team.

Well, no, got tooled here again. Still a defensive battle, but Sixers take it easily, 90-80. Every single player on my team except for Sanders has a very, very sub-par effort. Terrible.

Raptors 106 Pacers 90 -- WOW. Another HUGE win over the Pacers! Yao carried the team with 41 pts and 19 rebs. Jefferson had his second straight good game with 17 pts on only 9 shots! Dickau and Perry were both strong on the glass, getting 9 rebounds each. No wonder Jefferson only had 5. Arbogast turned the ball over 8 times, welcome to the big leagues, kid.

Ok, still tooled the divison rivals and they HAD JO this time. Won this game 101-77. Yao filled up 31 points and 19 rebounds. Max broke out of his slump with 19, 8 and 5. Jefferson scored 19 points on only 5 shots, way better than before. Perry also had a great game.

Raptors 96 Wizards 82 -- Yao had a triple double, only the 2nd of his career, with 43 pts, 16 rebs and 10 blocks. Dickau and Jefferson both scored in double digits. Another defensive win, which is great. The addition of Jefferson seems to have helped the defense quite a bit.

Well, still won this one too, 86-77. Yao didn't manage his triple double, but did have 28 and 15 to lead the way. Jefferson was very solid, as was Tayshaun, who started in place of an injured Dickau. Great. Max had another 1-10 game, just beautiful.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So half way through the sim, I'm at 5-2, when last time I was....6-1. However, I have now lost Dickau.

[RaptorsGM]

And now to look at the second half of the sim, where the real fun begins.

Raptors 120 Pacers 79 -- WHAT!?!? A 41 pt win over the Pacers? That's it, I'm tanking so I can finish 6th and face the Pacers in the first round. A 41 pt ROAD win against a top 5 team in the league, that is just amazing. Yao had 41 and 18. Jefferson added 22 and 6 rebounds. Ahhh.....now I see that O'neal was injured for this game...and 1 of the other ones, that's a bit of a buzz kill  Max was back for this game, and had 16, 6 and 6.

How in the hell can you go from winning by 41 the first time, to losing by 29 the second time, A SEVENTY POINT DIFFERENCE. FBB is on crack. Of course, was still without Dickau, as Tayshaun took his place and did nothing. Yao had 42 and 14, Perry played well, and everyone else deserves to be shot, most of all Max.

Raptors 110 Cavs 94 -- Yao had 39 and 19 to lead the way. Max chipped in 16 pts and 11 asts, while Dickau had 18. Overall the team shot 50% which is great, Max makes a huge difference in that regard. Jefferson was able to hold Rookie - Sophmore MVP Strait to 11 pts on 5-16 shooting.

Yeah, still won this game too. This time Yao had 51 and 13, a great game. Max shot 1-11. Holy fuck, what the hell. Jefferson, Prince and Perry all had decent games.

Clippers 107 Raptors 102 -- Ahhh, 5 pt loss to a top 3 team. Perry got torched by Maggette. Yao had 39 and 13, and Dickau had another really solid game with 13, 8 and 7. This kid has the potential to develop into a consistent triple double threat.

Still lost, just not as close this time. Dickau returns to get bruised by Brand. Jefferson and Dickau both had decent offensive games, and Max had another terrible game.

Raptors 109 Grizz 98 -- A good win against a good team on a bad streak. Yao had 41 and 14 with 6 blocks to lead the way. Max chipped in with 20 pts, 10 asts and 5 rebounds. Jefferson had 12 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists.

Still won this game too. The best part was FBB finally shows some consitency as the results were pretty much the same.

Raptors 106 Hawks 95 -- One of those must win games for a young team with hopes of making a run. Yao had a great game with 46 points and 12 boards. Perry stepped it up, out playing Kobe to get 19 pts, 7 rebs, 4 asts, 5 stls and only 1 turnover. In contrast, Kobe had 15 pts, 1 reb, 3 asts and 3 turnovers.

THis time I ruined the Hawks by 50. Yao had another great game of 51 and 17. Jefferson, Dickau and Max all played allright. Perry was again great defensivly against Kobe.

Raptors 113 Heat 112 -- A big overtime win against TD and co. Yao fouled out in only 31 minutes after getting 19 pts and 11 rebs. And his backup, Sanders, came in to play a HUGE game with 21 pts on 8-13 shooting. Sanders was clearly the differnce as the rest of the team shot terribly. I thought Sanders was a great 2nd round choice when I drafted him, and I still think that now.

This time I lose by 11, getting outscored by 15 in the final frame. Quite a few good individual games by the guys, but nothing together team wise. 4th Q collapses are something I really don't need right now.

Raptors 112 Spurs 80 -- It's great to get these blowout wins where you play great offense AND great defense. Yao had 38 and 12 to lead the way. Dickau chipped in with 21, 5 and 5. Max had 15 pts and 12 asts. Jefferson shot poorly, but was still able to get 13 and 6. However, he struggled to keep BJK off the boards.

It was a blowout win again, except this time I get beat by 15. A 47 POINT DIFFERENCE. This time around Dickau still plays well, but Yao plays terribly. Sanders had a decent game off the bench, and Max played well. Jefferson shot 2-13, and again Kim killed him on the glass.

Hornets 106 Raptors 85 -- Tough way to finish off the sim, but this young team is never going to beat a top team on the road. Yao and Max both played well, everyone else did not. Again, Perry got killed at SG, I'm wondering if his height is preventing him from playing adequate defense. I'll have to change his position to see what his D goes to.

Made it a little closer this time, but lost Perry. Nothing else to comment on.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So for the 2nd half of the sim, I go from 6-2 to 3-5. I love you FBB. And instead of having no injuries, I lose my starting SG for 5 more days. Fuck.

[RaptorsGM]

I guess I can't be too angry, I'VE SEEN WHAT THIS LINEUP CAN DO, AND IT'S A 12-3 SIM, NOT A 8-7 SIM. SO FUCK RIGHT OFF, FBB!!

[RaptorsGM]

Looking at the All Star stuff....


No idea how Max doesn't get in the 3 pt shooting contest when he is shooting 46.5% from downtown.

Who is Mitchell Hernandez??

Good to see Max starting at PG for the Sophmores. He had a good game.

Was hoping to see 1 of my rooks make the team, but oh well.

Yao leads the East in scoring despite getting ONLY 6 SHOTS. Thanks, Livingston. No Emeka??

No Max in the 3 pt again.

Still don't know who Mitchell Hernandez is.

Max doesn't start this time, But has the most assists in the game.

Still no rooks, but none really deserved it.

This time Yao leads all scorers with 25 before fouling out. Still no Emeka.

[RaptorsGM]

On a much more positive note, Merry Christmas, or for some of you, Happy Holidays.

Guys, remember, I don't want to sound like anyone's mother, but it can't be said enough...this is the season where there is always alot of drinking, and always alot of driving to be done. Please, please don't mix the two. All of you guys are valuable to this league, if one of you gets thrown in the slammer, the league might fall apart. But seriously, don't do it.

Other than that, Happy Holidays, guys. Have 1 for the RaptorsGM. And if you don't drink, have a virgin eggnog on me.

And know that I will have 1 for each and everyone of you

[KingsGM-old]

WOW! This team is just sick! 15-2 in the last 17games!!! Mavs got my number twice.

[PacersGM]

@raptors   L a blowout; the raptors pardon YAO deserved this win - he fouled all of my bigs out (no one could stay more than 25 mins in the game) FTs advantage at the end 49 raptors 16 pacers
hawks       W Jo leading the way with 48/10 marion went to the IL in this game
hornets    W like last time without marion but this time with JO 27/9
sixers      W still without marion but artest and Austin (maybe he rembered getting no contract from the sixers   ) shot combined 7/14 from the 3P
raptors    W another try by YAO to win a game from the FT line but this time JO 28/8 could counter and had some help from Artest 24/5 and Rocky 24/5 a solid win even without marion again max had his troubles
Grizzlies  W i really like the def effort my team showed against the grizz
allowing only 35% from the field JO 26/11 and Artest another great outside game with 21 (marion is still hurt - great to see my team can take some injuries)
@bucks    L a blowout loss; my team wasn´t even on the floor only JO with some success
mavs       L great teamplay by the mavs congrats; marion came back with 28/9 and JO 23/20
sixers      W Jo with 24/10, marion 27/4 and foster...   20/20
bulls        W both JO and Marion with 27/10 amare had almost a triple double with 27/8/10blks wow
@suns      W Jo with 28/14 held the suns under 40% Fg%

so overall i had some winning series of 4, 5 and now i have 3 in a row
i finsished both sims with 12-4 great
but the next sims will be even tougher: i have 12 games in 12 days ...
next sim 3 times the nets why??? last sim 3 times raptors now nets come on give me a break  
if i can stay in the top 3 after that i will be very satisfied.

i wish all of a Merry Christmas, or for some of you, Happy Holidays.

[PacersGM]

bods please help me out. can you explain me this:

i checked some of your scorings, by the way i feel sorry for sammy going down twice in a sim.
but the problem is this: if i figured your depth chart right
C: Dalembert, Darko, Dalembert
PF: Emeka, Gooden, Gooden

how could it be that in the last game of the sim aginst the bulls emeka played at C and Darko at PF
Emeka Okafor C 41 4 17 0 0 3 7 13 3 3 1 1 4 11
Drew Gooden PF 32 3 7 0 1 3 4 18 3 3 1 2 3 9
Darko Milicic PF 20
in the rest of the sim emeka played Pf
FBB is really crazy  

[KingsGM-old]

Tinsley and Forston played great. Bibby was out for some time and Tinsley really fullfield all the expectations. Although i had even better sim and was first in pacific, the warriors had even sicker one and now they're the first. Got to catch them until the end of the season.

So let me start with this complete domination:

+ 26 against the Clips: Hoffa with 54pts/18rebs, Bibby 18/13 and Forston 18pts and 13boards. I'll start this man, he's superb.
+ 8 vs the Suns: Hoffa again with 50/13. The whole team was 50% from the field and 50% from the 3pt land.
+32 vs the Sixers: Tmac 47/7/6, Hoffa 26/10, Fortson with 17 boards and again astonishing 58% from the 3 pts land.
+25 against the Sonics: Mcgrady 39/9/13, Bibby 25/7, Hoffa 21/10/5, Turkoglu with 12pts in 15 minutes. 54% from the field, 61% from the 3  
+13 vs the Grizz: Bibby 17/13, Fortson 13/12 and off course Tmac with 26 and Hoffa 23/6. Posey had strong game too with 18pts and 6 boards. Only 46% from the 3pt land this time.
+14 vs the Nuggets: Hoffa 35/19, Tmac 29/9/7, Tinsley with 8pts and 11asists. Easy W.
+14 vs the Blazers: Player of the game - Danny Forston with 18pts and 15boards. Tinsley with great overall effort: 7pts, 5steals, 6asits and 7boards. Nice...
+ 1 only vs the Suns: Tinsley had his best game so far as he chipped in with 11/12/5. Hoffa was his usual self with 35/11 and Camby with 4 blocks and 11 boards.
+12 vs the Grizzlies: Hoffa 33pts/17 biards, Tracy 29/7/11, Forston 14/10 and Camby with 7pts, 4 blocks and 11 boards. Outrebounded the Grizzlies by 18. I like that.
+13 vs the Rockets: Hoffa with nice 49/13 and whole team was 53% from the floor. I'm really shooting well lately.
+16 vs the Sonics again: Hoffa and Tmac combined for "modest" 63pts, 24boards and 5 steals and Forston with 4 blocks and 13 boards.
+ 30 against the Sonics again: Bibby came back with 23pts and 16 asists. Add to that Hoffa and his usual 37/19 and Tmac 25 on 55% of shooting and 55% from the 3 and Sonics never had a chance.
...and the last game of the sim complete destruction of the second placed Nuggets team. Crushed them by + 29. Tmac and Hoffa were at the top of their game. Hoffa with incredible 31pts and 22boards and Tmac with 36 on a 15/19 shooting ( ).  Bibby had a strong game too with 21/10 as the Kings went for 53% from the floor and this time 70% from the 3. We're not taking them much, but hit almost anything we shoot.

Great performances and a great sim for the Kings. Now, lets take that 1st seed.
