Sim 2 Discussion

[NetsGM]

When I said my success was short lived, I didn't need to be proven so right 

The fact that I couldn't stop anyone is going to lead me to 

[BucksGM]

Won all 3 on the road and dropped the home game to the 8-9 Suns, go figure.  5-1 on the road is nice.

Mehta's averages "fell" to 23/16/4.5 blocks.  Still leading the league in rebounds and blocks.  Tobey's at 16/8 and I have a few players shooting out of their minds (Baron and Harpring).

1-7 Sim.

#1 Pick... Come to Papi

[RaptorsGM]

This was a great sim and a terrible sim.

The great - Tied for best record in the league, Boykins continues to score a large amount, Swift has blown up, Max and Chills make for one of the best backcourts.

The bad - For some strange fucking reason, the Spurs are leading the West. I was expecting a top 10 pick. I might be getting a sub 25 pick. Damn. This was going to net me my future starting SF.

[SpursGM-old]

WOW.  7-0 sim for the Spurs.  Started off beating the Pacers (revenging a close loss in the first sim) with Jefferson & Van Exel still injured.  At full strength beat the Wolves 3 times, Pistons twice and the Heat.

This team is turning out to be very well balanced.  All 5 starters had at least one game of 20+ pts...and 3 starters are averaging 17+ while the other two average 11.  Rebounding is definately a team focus with sim 2 averages being Uner (5.9), Snyder (6.9), Mitchell (7.7), Griffin (11.0), Jefferson (8.0 - with 1 game where he fouled out in 6 minutes), Gooden (13.1).

But I have to keep my excitement in check since 5 wins came against just 2 teams.  However this is the type of play I expected from this team after basically completely overhauling my team in the offseason.

[BlazersGM]

Satisfing 4-4 sim considering it was a really tough schedule. Now that i fixed my DC team looks better, some lil changes
just needed.

@Mavs +8....great away win in Dallas, Williams turned out good as 1st option, 21/5, Telf 19/9, Bosh 19/10 6blk, Hoffa
18/15, Clement doesnt seem to like sitting on a bench.

@Raps -13...another satisfing perfomance by Williams, Buehler went down last game, i wonder how much that had influence
on this loss, his backup wasted way too many balls (19) WTF !!

Knics +10...Buehler back, did well on stopping Larry +/- while leading my team with 16/15, Hoffa 15/6/14 is putting some
small numbers as 2nd option but team seems to work better not having him waste 25apg.

Clipps -11...we really suck at home so far, however another questionable game as Hoffa was down with injury down.

@Pacers -5...life without Hoffa is impossible, altough Cunningham did decent job 21/14.

@Warriors +4...Cunny again led the team with 22/13, Williams added 17/11....Cunny seems to be totally into Hoffa style of
play putting those numbers this 2 games.

Nets +41 ... WOW...my first win over Nets and what a blowout, i know they have injury problems but also we were without
Hoffa, so its about the same. Cunningham impressed again 33/14, Buehler added 29/11, Williams 19/5/9, Telf 15/15 4stl.
Williams and Clement did excellent job on defending Lord and my frontcourt of Cunny/Bosh FO 1 of Nets centers and almost
other too (5PF)

@Hornets -10...not suprised, Telf 27/10 and Williams 21/7/7 had a good game, but Cunny couldnt repeat the previos 3.After
all its Yao and Dan.

[BlazersGM]

...now i can just keep wondering would it be possible with Hoffa on board to win those Clipps/Pacers/Hornets losses, im pretty sure 1 win more would be as Cunningham cant defend shit, but he was excellent on offense like Hoffa tough (except vs Hornets).

But my team looks really good, they can definitely beat every team now.

[MavsGM]

What an ugly sim.  Went 1-5 but won five POG awards.  This sim we're giving up too many points. 

[HornetsGM]

Still crushing teams, but not as much as the 1st sim. Down to a +19 ppg differential. Yao is unreal right now 37/14/4, shooting 56%. Livingston has really benefitted from playing next to another ballhandler, as he is down almost a full turnover from last year. I am pleased with Wolkowyski, even though I still have trouble spelling his name.

[CavsGM]

I'm disgusted, but it has only been 11 games. Things should start to pick up soon...

[BlazersGM]

Still crushing teams, but not as much as the 1st sim. Down to a +19 ppg differential.

its what made me wondering, i lost only by 10 to mighty Hornets in NO and without Hoffa, i wouldnt win most likely, but it showed my team is really good, and when healthy it can definitely be one of the contenders finally.

[SixersGM]

2 things im glad that happened in this sim..

1st, the sim one's bug is over.

2nd, my team is playing how it is built to be..

[CelticsGM]

still within striking distance of the top seed in the Atlantic, only two losses to the Sixers (the fist coming by 8 after losing the 4th quarter by 14 !!!) - all without my best frontcourt defender - kept me from the lead. Will be fun to see how i match up with Samspon back - and the Sixers new frontcourt in place. Expect this battle to go on for the season.

otherwise a 5-3 sim, not bad. As mentioned, two losses to Sixers and one to Lakers, but road wins over Suns, Grizz and Nets. Nice. Also handed the Raptors one of their few losses which makes me very very happy ...
 

[HawksGM]

Larry Hughes has really disappointed me.  I guess he's no longer the sidekick to a start that he was in Utah.  Maggette went down for 2 1/2 games and that hurt but my team hasn't performed to my expectations.  I thought we would be closer to .500 but I was way wrong.  Dwayne Wade and Paul Maggette are doing what they can to keep me afloat but its not enough.

[JazzGM-old]

Well two sims are down and I'm sitting pretty well. Dial is a nice force in the paint giving me a very rounded 12.2ppg 9.3rpg 2.4apg 1.5spg 1.1bpg 1.1TOpg in 32.3mpg, on .420 fg% and .780 ft%. Theus is averaging the most minutes for my team coming off the bench for 3 positions and providing good rounded numbers as well, especially with assists. Dial has had 2 25 point games as well as a 17 rebound game, good signs for a young guy with A potential. Despite Murray's ratings at PF, he's been a big surprise averaging 18 and 10 as a 3rd option. Hardy is producing very moderate, but well-rounded numbers. Most significantly however, he's been holding his opponents to poor shooting (~41% oFG%) which is all i can ask for in a great non-option role player who shoots the ball very well. My starting PG, SG, and SF are all shooting great percentages around the court, now if only Rivera and Dial's percentages could improve in the future... Despite Murray's scoring, I'm going to make Dial my third option since he shoots a little better from the field. I feel I could be a little bit better defensivey as a team, but I'm still young and overachieving IMO. I feel my current standing in the west is a bit inflated, but I won't complain, with no picks, I'd rather have success this year, even if it means a first round exit.
