Preseason Sim 1 discussion

[GoldenStateGM]

Well, my team is not good right now...
The guy I thought would be my point guard of the future had a bad training camp...
But, some very good performances from this preseason...

Don Collins earned himself a starting spot, and showed he deserved it.
19 ppg, 4 rpg on 47% and 43% shooting as a 2nd option.  Not bad for a late 1st rounder last year.  He will get the nod as the primary option in the next preseason sim.

Michael O'Neal had the best set of games he has ever played.
15 ppg 5.8 rpg, 3.7 apf, and 2.8 spg on 47% and 40% shooting...  Wow.  If only he can maintain this type of performance.

[BlazersGM]

dammit, I wish the Blazers weren't doing so well 

I can give you hope, i always do great in pre-season and then suck in regular, its like a curse, just look at DJSL, i always do 10-3, 6-0, 14-3 pre-sim and then go to lotto pick in regular season, ITS LIKE A CURSE.

That's why i hate pre-season, i rather shouldnt post DC.

Charles Phelps !!
24ppg 8.3rpg 5.3apg 1.5spg

Livingstone !
22ppg 5rpg 10.1apg 1.3spg 56 % FG 90 % FT 51 % 3pts

Buehler learned to shot !
15.3ppg 11rpg 2spg 57 % FG 79 % FT 67 % 3pts

If they can play at least close to that we could have a nice record.

[MavsGM]

Worse record in the league, my backups stinks like feet. .  Really wanted to see what Jeremy Palacio can do as a #1 option but he didn't take enough shots. .  Rookie Frank Johnson did well with 18/7 as a third option but shooting % in the low .400 but he's a rook.

(I did sim 17 days, so every team has played at least 10 games.)

Any idea how many days you will run in sim 2?

[RaptorsGM]

Very very interesting sim for the Raptors.

Didn't really expect this team to be able to play .500 ball.


Zollner, very impressive. 15/11 with 2 blocks AND 2 steals. He'll start at C this season.

Also impressed with Arbogast, whom I drafted way back when. Never had a chance to start, that's why I love preseason. 22/8 on UNBELIVABLE numbers.

[CelticsGM]

Scott Provost is nice surprise. Guess i have a tougher battle for the starting spot at Pg than i expected. Scott shot a high % and lead my team in scoring and ass while only being a third option. 

which "team" exactly do you mean? You call Curran, Cronin, Knight, Dickau and Provost a team ???

I will run the sim to day 34, another 17 days, to make it even.

why not run the same 17 days so we can make comparisons?

at least i don´t call them franichse saver...
and no matter how you turn it 18.4 pts 4.7 rebs and 7.5 ass with good shooting is a good performance no matter waht you call a team.

Not necessarily. Kind of the blind leading the naked ...
And I'm not sure who should be my franchise saviour, and what franchise exactly needs to be saved, and from what (I see a few,led by Ivan, but the top 8 teams hardly need rescue here).

Regarding the preseason sim:
... because in real life you also don't play exactly the same opponents twice to "test" matchups. We'll learn enough from that simmed days 18-34 too I believe.
