Sim 3 Discussion

[MagicGM]

it saddens me to have a 3-6 sim which has not happen for a long time now. Al Jefferson was missed this sim, his contributions were sorely missed by the team. Ivan litwack made some noise as my 12th man, and is looking for some PT.

[SixersGM]

Bad sim.. 



Injured Fuqua.. 



Mavs won over Jerold's Heat 

[PacersGM]

Nice.

4-1 sim (though none against top opponents) and only a 1pt loss to Nuggets away from a 9 game in streak myself.
Marion set a new Celtics team high with 48 pts and the team a new record with 135 pts against Rockets (on 62% shooting, nice game)
Julius cooled down a bit, 7apg and 3topg isn't what i look for (but 28 team ass per game show we spread the wealth there), but hey, he's still a 2nd round pick rook

Anyway, i have big big defensive deficiencies this season and i won't outscore opponents forever, especially in the playoffs. These need to be solved !
 

 

maybe you should recount your wins
and if you can´t win at home against nuggets you should better stop telling everybody how good your team is

lol pacers on a 9-0 win streak even without artest...
beat the hornets in OT... sure some of the teams where lotto teams but i take any win i can get this year.

 
how about ONE of the 9 teams was a playoff team (maybe 2 if you include the poor Nuggets who entertain a spot on a losing record) ...

hey mathe genius! 
Last time i checked nuggets where a PO team, sonics, cavs and suns are not the best teams but still close enough to 500 to respect them.
And a OT win against the hornest is something you can be proud of.

[KingsGM-old]

Bah, subpar sim. Lost the first 3 games and then won the next 5. 5-3 overall. Still just a one game out of the first seed in the West.

[CelticsGM]

I did that ? Oops, sorry, but couldn't find it here.

My win total is 12, my loss total is 8, my record in games decided by 8 pts or less is 1-6, my point diff is 8.8 (3rd) and the size of my sneakers is 11.5

I know that we are miles away from beating teams like the Nets, Hornets, Raptors or even Kings in a series. Speaking of Hornets, it's definitely not ME who can be proud of an OT victory over Hornets cause my Celtics got beat up badly in NO/OKC ...

Anyone still want to call the Melo trade a steal for the Mavs, with Boykins averaging 21.6 and 10, and Jackson getting 15.7 and 5.8, after being benched the first sim.

Raises hand.

Well, bods, a 14-1 record since day 3 of the season with road wins over Nets, Magic, Pacers, Kings and some more over Nets and Hornets at home, ALL coming by 10+ diff is something to acknowledge.
 

And you tell me he could have gotten these results sans George/Luke but with Melo too ?

[BlazersGM]

winning sims continue thank god....im still only team to win all games at home, a 9-0 record.Buehler went out for 9 games,
4 more in next sim, its gonna be very hard without him.

+32 vs Jazz....Hoffa 35/9, Clement excellent with 24/7/7, Telf 13/7/13 stl, Buehler 11/12 3stl 3blk, Juan with double
digit as well.

-20 @Warriors....starting lineup good, Hoffa 20/14, Clement 18/5, Buehler 18/8 4stl, Telf 11/12 3stl, no help from bench
unfortunately.

+15 vs Hawks....Hoffa 27/13, Clement 20/7/5 4stl, Buehler went down.

+14 vs Lakers.....Hoffa with 39 3stl 4blk but just 5 rebs, Juan added 22, Clement near triple 16/9/9 3stl, Telf 14/12.

-36 destruction in Orlando....Hoffa usual 25/15 but 10to's my god, absence of Buehler is way to big for this team.

+10 vs Jazz....Hoffa monstrous 42/22 2blk performance.


....now lets see how this team will survive next sim without Buehler, a 50 % sim would be very satsifying...i except to
see Clement as MIP at the end of the season definitely, and soon to replace departure of Schultz completely altough
already his stats are even better.

[NetsGM]

The fact that you are playing well for a 2 sim span doesn't mean you couldn't have played well with carmelo, yes.  And the fact that you couldn't add the pieces to play well without giving up carmelo doesn't mean it couldn't be done.

Because Melo does....what?

He scores alot. 26 a game. He rebounds average for his position, and his an a:to ratio just above 1. He steals 1 ball per game and blocks 1 shot per sim.

As far as I'm concerned, Melo is good for 26, nothing else. I'm filling that void with a 22 and 10 PF, a SF very comparable to Melo (with 10 ppg less), and a mid first round pick next year when mid first round picks just became very valuable.

Perhaps Bods is still feeling the effects of day 17 and 28?

"play well" ... hehe, i'd call that KICKING SOME MAJOR ASS, thinking WHO he beat and HOW.
I'd even go so far as proclaiming the Raps the team to beat this season. Not quite the DJSL Nuggets but still the hottest commodity currently.
 

But true, one can always do better in trades ...

[KingsGM-old]

Oh please, this is ridicilous. Team to beat after one good sim?

[NetsGM]

As far as I'm concerned, Melo is good for 26, nothing else.

so we are calling Boykins and Jackson multi-faceted players?  Both with their B+ defense, with Boykins 0.8 blocks/game and 1.2 assists/game?  Both with less assists than turnovers?

You're playing well right now.  That doesn't change my opinion on the trade.

Perhaps Bods is still feeling the effects of day 17 and 28?

Perhaps I have learned after a 70 win season last year that what happens in sim 2 or 3 is meaningless.

It's not often we agree.  But I appluad this post.

[RaptorsGM]

2 good sims. 18 games into the season is a pretty fair estimate of how things are going to go.
