Sim 8 Discussion

[NetsGM]

Will be done tomorrow night, probably late.

[CavsGM]

Alright, gives me time to work on my article...

[BlazersGM]

cant wait to see how my crap team goes this round

[NetsGM]

Up.

[BlazersGM]

I finally quited to experiment and its a good thing definitely, best sim of the season so
far, now i can quit experimenting and finish the season with same DC and tactics like i
first wanted, i was just changing it -cause i wanted more wins, but now i saw finally this
tactics are the only way to get a good standings before playoffs and hopefully play the
Kings heehehe.

Sim went 5-1 with loss to Heat only.

Wolves 83-75 This team i always have lots of problems, or better i always lose, but last
2x i won, its the team i least want to play in POs.
Hoffa had a fine game 27/15 2blk, Telf 16/8 3stl, Bosh added 12/11 2stl, Buehler is shooting
45 % from field this season with his B-, quite impressive for me knowing he was B- before
as well but his avg. was about 33-35 % before.

Grizzlies 132-118 Honestly cant remember when my team scored soooo many points.
Hoffa again leading with 35/16, damn i curse him for droping to B+, i can just imagine
what he would be able to do with A- cause he scores a lot but not on a high % like before.
Bosh is playing great all season, another great game 26/14 2blk, Buehler 25/11, Telf with
17/16.

Pacers 108-101 This was a really nice win, Hoffa commanding with 32/11 3blk, Telf 20/9 5stl
Buehler 16/12, Bosh added 14 boards and 2 blocks.

@Heat 97-107 Heat ruined what looked like to be best sim in my SSBA GM career, Hoffa posted
26/13 3stl, the rest was pretty equal.

@Suns 111-108 tough one but we won, Hoffa again with 29/9 leading the team, Bosh 23/10 4stl
2blk, Telf 16/11.

@Bucks 111-77 +44pt demolition of Bucks, Hoffa 28/13, Telf 24/10 and WOW 9 steals.


Taking a look now after mid-season some interesting facts, Hoffa is a monster still but if
he kept his A- inside this team would win more and he would be on top, too bad.
Tsakalidis is really a pleasant suprise avg 8.4rpg and nearly 2bpg in 29mpg.
Bosh is playing his career season 10ppg 8rpg 1.5bpg in 29mpg on 47 % FG.
Buehler now playing SF is not getting as much rebounds as before, he is on 9rpg but he is
scoring much more 13ppg comparing to past seasons and shooting really good from field
45 % despite his just B- abbilities.
Houbregs lost his place but seems to not want it back either, his worst shooting season,
only Damon Jones on entire team is shooting a bit worse then him and he is still A- out
shooter.
Telfair is playing in my opinion his best season and too bad Clement doesnt have room here
cause in those little 12mpg that he plays he always contributes a lot, 50 from field and 3pt
 and 78 from FT...having that potential and after this TC, he could be a player of the
future, actually he-ll be in DC instead of Russell next sim.

[BlazersGM]

and i just love how former home team losers play this season, with 21/7 at home Blazers are #1 in West division, a team that used to be a road team is now the best home team in West, i dont even want to know what happened, but it really pleases me.

[HornetsGM]

I hate the Nets. I have to pray for an injury to one of their players. Screw beating the best, I want a championship.

Don't worry.  If I win another championship, I think I'm going to go through with that plan I discussed 2 seasons ago.

ye ye ye ye, trash talking again no ? hehee

[JazzGM-old]

Wow so the Jazz back in the top...kind of deceiving though considering my record but I'll brag a little while I'm back on top, I've found some good settings and my team is playing pretty well, Jameer Nelson is having his best season and Kaman's small TC improvements might be proving the difference as to why I'm not struggling as much as last year. I don't know how I fair against the teams in the West with better records, but I do know that if I was to pull out a 2 seed, it'd make things a little easier for me come playoffs. The only disappointments for me this season is well first...turnovers and second is that Phillip Meyers isn't taking advantage of my settings, every other year he's been tops in the league with 3pt% and the year I want him to just go off, and he's being a putz. Oh well, otherwise I'm pretty content just seeing how this carries out as playoffs get closer

[PacersGM]

wow this injury bug is heavy this season.
i had a 10 games sim and wanted to check how i would perform with different settings. Only Marion wanted some timeout for 8 games. So Kobe played with the wrong settings at SG great  

After Marion come back i had a surprise win against the NETS  

[SonicsGM]

Nick English with 8 steals against the Lakers.  Nice to see him have a great game.

By the way, Jamal Sampson is a gamer.

If only I had some Defense at the SG and SF positions, my team might even be good.

[HeatGM]

a nice 6-1 for the heat   holding on to the 8th spot of the eastrn conefernce...boy it's a competitive conference... i found my true starter for the team and that is molina... he's been performing great for the last two sims... i hope this would continue  

[KingsGM-old]

Bah....4-4, bad sim. Won the first 3 games and then droped the next 3.

Chrushed the Pacers by 42 who were without Marion but the next time lost to them by 9 again without Marion.

Off course, lost to the Spurs (i'm grossly interested what's my overall record against them, i think something like 3-20) and Mavs off course. 2 teams i just can't beat for years.

Tim Duncan is playin his best ball of the year;

*32pts, 3blocks, 3ste, 11rebs vs the Sonics
*33pts, 4as, 18rebs, 5ste vs the Jermaine and the Pacers
*31pts, 18rebs vs the Celtics
*25pts, 18rebs, 3bl vs the Spurs
*43pts, 12rebs vs the Celtics again

Booth was strong as well;

*6pts, 4bl, 6rebs vs the Sonics
*13pts, 6bl, 8rebs vs the Wolves
*13pts, 8bl, 11rebs vs the Pacers


Oh, and congrats to Tom on the FIRST Celtics win over Kings EVER!

[CelticsGM]

4-5 sim. Not completely unexpected but mediocre nonetheless.

The bad: a one-point and a two-point road loss to non-playoff teams.
The good: beat the Pacers, Kings and Warriors, three better teams (but also lost to Kings and Warriors)

Ivan Strong did reasonable well starting at C averaging 13/8 while shooting 45% from 3pt and 84% from the line, whereas Lenard had some bad outing connecting on barely 38%.

Reed again with a solid 8.2apg on just 1 giveaway (NICE ratio), but his 10ppg on 35% worry me (as do his 58% FT). Trump had 8.5/3 in half the minutes on 58%, hitting trifectas on 67%. Guess the PG spot will see further experimenting ...
