Sim 9 Up

[NetsGM]

Still more mediocrity

[MagicGM]

best sim for a while now. Dwight was a man on a mission.

[BlazersGM]

poor 3-2 sim with 2 losses to non PO teams argh....but regained #2 record, still 3GB Clipps, could be better i've we had
won at least 1 more.

@Wizards 97-106....damn loss in D.C, they made a terrific run scoring 39(over my 22) in 2nd period, later it proved to
be decisive.
Buehler led scorers with 19/10, Hoffa in just 19mins added 17/8, Clement 16/6/6, Telf 15/8, fine overall perforamnce,
too bad Hoffa didnt play more, things might get different.

vs Suns 99-105...unacceptable home loss to Suns, started really bad this sim losing to 2 non PO teams...Hoffa dropped
33/22 2blk, no help from bench again, they need to take more responsability dammit.

finished with 3 straight wins over 2 good teams.

vs Grizz 98-91...Hoffa 34/14, Telf was great, Clement great all-around game but after a long time was shooting poorly.

vs Grizz 101-85...another one....Hoffa 31/13, Telf 19/6/8, Clement see above, Buehler fouled out before HT.

@Rockets 116-104....Clement felt quilty over 2 game poor offensive performance, dropped 23/7/6 on fantastic shooting,
Cunningham 22/5/15 excellent perfomance that left Hoffa playing only 21mins altough he was doing fine, 17/10 good
shooting...even scored a 3 pointer.Telfair 13/16 fantastic leadeership once more.

Battle continues....

[CelticsGM]

That was some fun sim to watch.

The Celtics Pride went 7-2 and showed some interesting versatility. We beat the Nets (84-79, holding them to a season low in points) and Jazz (77-74) in defensive battles, as well as some high scoring affairs. Raptors kicked out collective ass but we got revenge too. If not for a close 2pt loss to the Magic i'd call this a great sim.

Everette Strait got a nice welcome and provided 10/5 from the bench on a whopping 60% shooting. If Griffin weren't such an important part of my offense (18ppg, 10rpg, 2.5blk) he'd get the starting nod.

Julius is a phantastic offensive player (like matching Maximilian with 21/8 on 8-9 shooting in my win over Raptors) but probably more of a scorer than distributor (just 6.4 ass). Still my team is sharing the ball very well (25apg on just 11 TO tops the league), so i can take that. But let's see how Trumpy fits in this team now ...


Next sim will be the toughest of the year. Only 5 games but i travel to the on-a-roll-Heat twice, to the hornets and to the Mavs while hosting the tough Suns inbetween. This will likely make or break my season quest for a top 4 spot. Can't wait to find out ...
 

[RaptorsGM]

Well, that's was a fun season....but now it's over.

Starting PF, and leading scorer George Boykins goes down for the rest of the season and all of the playoffs.

And the Raptors take another 3-4 TERRIBLE sim. Boykins started every game this sim, so I am still completely dumbfounded how a team can be a streaky as this....but it doesn't matter anymore.

[HeatGM]

wow...im really on-a-roll.... 25-6 after sim 4....and 18-2 after allstar break... im just happy that my team is learning slowly but surely how to shoot... taking a lot shots made my team a better shooter...like they say...practice makes perfect.... ....lets go heat.... be the real champ in the NBA and SSBA 

[HornetsGM]

Yao Ming is having the best season of his career. Looks like I'll have home court advantage throughout the playoffs. That's big.

[GoldenStateGM]

5-1 sim for the Warriors, and slowly catching up to the Kings...
I will quite enjoy it it if I pass the Kings

Andre Iguodala led the team in scoring this sim, he might be ready to take on first option status.
the Finley brothers are playing very well at the 4 and 5 spots.

And Tinsley...  Tinsley is just playing the best ball of his career...  A lot of guys have really stepped it up in Dirk and Hinrich's absence...

[SixersGM]

Pretty satisfied with this sim, I guess the changes paid off..

[SonicsGM]

I figured, with my team likely out of it, that I would do something drastic this sim, and it didn't work.  In fact, it could have been one of the worst moves in the history of the SSBA.  That's right, I started the high schooler, Desmond Brothers at the SF position, allowing him atop my offensive options list.  Here's what I got out of the young stud:

0 points, (0-4 FG), 5 rebounds, 3 TO in 25 minutes
8 points, (3-3 FG / 2-2 3-pt), 3 steals, 2 rebounds in 24 minutes
4 points, (1-2 FG) 4 rebounds in 27 minutes
3 points, (1-3 FG), 8 rebounds in 26 minutes
0 points, (0-1 FG), 5 rebounds, 5 TO in 28 minutes
6 points, (2-3 FG), 3 rebounds, 5 TO in 26 minutes
10 points, (5-7 FG), 9 rebounds in 26 minutes
0 points, (0-3 FG), 2 steals in 21 minutes
3 points, (1-5 FG), 2 rebounds, 2 steals in 30 minutes

A grand total, in 9 games, of:
3.8 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 2.4 TOPG, 41% FG, 50% FT, 50% 3-Pt

He's going back to the injured reserve!

[MavsGM]

Back 2 back good sim for the Mavs.  Melo and LeBron starting to play well together and Harris is having his best season as a pro.

I'm sorry, trev, i didn't even realize my win came against Billy Joe Kim (also voted POTG). That sucks. I really hope you come back next season with the same team and prove that this season was no fluke.

Don't be so harsh at these young guy. Stuff like that simply doesn't work. You don't get production just by making someone option. It doesn't even work for proven vets, I can give you a list of top players who's production immediately is cut in half when they get the "burden" of offensive option or worse, #1 OPTION !!!

Some like it, some not. And C offensive guys at age 18 belong to the latter group ...

Haha, thanks.

Yeah, I'm not going to change much. Perhaps a few tweaks (neccessary due to the hard cap), but mostly the same team.
