lost at home against bucks. took care of the rest of the schedule with increased defense performance and a monster howard on the other end. he had several 30+pts, 15+rebs and 5+blk games. And he was finally also a POTW  |

4-3 sim and just 11 days/8 games to go, with a good handful against lesser teams. On the fringe of the playoff picture, and feeling alittle better about that as Milner's return draws near. Our biggest issue has been offensive flow - too many TO's, low percentages - his return should be just what the doctor ordered.
Still really regretting the deal I didn't make, but I am loving Woot's 3.5bpg and how Kersey had a stretch of games this sim which reminded my of why I'm so fond of him. Schmalzy has been superb when he has played, but is having a hard time staying on the floor d/t injury.
Lost handily to East powerhouses (Pacers and Hornets - actually, *almost* snuck one out against NO), and manhandled the East's powderpuffs (Celtics).
Gonna do a wee bit of tweaking to the DC and we should be good to gather some momentum heading to the second half.

nice to be 2 deep with starting calibre guys at every position
Starting PG Maxi went down for the next 4 sims, in comes Malcolm "in the middle" Trump averaging 18/5/11 and 1.8topg leading my troups to a 4-2 sim. Puzzeling? The homeloss to the Magic, just one of these days ...
Antonio Leanrd's farewell was an 18ppg simon 54% shooting. Thanks Toni for all you've done for this franchise, much of our success was only because of you. Probably the most underrated player in the whole league, whereever you end up at the end of this season, it will be a very very happy team (unless you stay on the Kings, but hey, it's warm and the cali beaches are close there at least)
The game settings didn't exactly help, so let's change some more.
And will that Atlantic crown be important this season: it maybe the difference between facing the Bucks away in rd1 and Pacers in rd 2 (if,if, i kno) or the Hawks at home in rd 1 and Hornets in rd 2 (if again ...)

... getting the season series to 1-2. congratulations. just 6.5 more games to make up ... oops I forgot you're the poor injury-riddled squad, well then watch how that's done in style. And don't be ashamed to inquire about my roster depth, i'm sure we'll find some 3rd stringer that could start for you ...  |

I'll be watching (closely) for how much panache you have as a coach, even though I don't think our injuries and players are that comparable. With Milner active, I know we'd see a different result in head to head results - and still probably will when all is said and done. You can keep your castoff group of geriatrics and 'never-weres', but thanks for offering. I'll see you at the end of the season, if my old eyes can see down that far  |

btw, position changes were not done sorry was too frustrated about the already posted deals that didn't work. I would appreciate if the veteran gms here put more effort into their trades. about 70% of the deals can't be done on sim day and i am wasting my time finding out for them. it will be done for next sim. @TOM last time i checked it was day 41 your deal could be done. And currently we have day 40. |

well can?t see an easy PO opponent in the east. with nets still in PO run and milner soon back we have at least 10 teams that could make the PO. And all are tough to play. I expect some even to improve through trades. |

nope, once day 40 has been simmed FBB changes to day 41 (see status line), so the trade could have been performed before exporting/uploading. But no big deal ...

never said there are easy opponents, but in the Central Bucks look damn strong now (as you found out yourself), Hornets are defending champ for a reason (despite getting weaker now), and the Pacers big 3 are always good for a win or two (when healthy). And the Atlantic winner - and only him - can avoid all three in round 1 ... but i agree, trades/injuries will make a few teams even stronger (Nets, Bucks) or weaker (Hornets,Raptors) soon, and the jury's out on the rest so far ... |

Correct. If Pacers opens FBB now and looks at the bottom left of the screen it will say Day 41 |

Well I followed up a 7-1 sim with a 3-6 sim, but its my own fault for adjusting the lineup to move Xavier back to the bench. Turns out we struggle offensively and need him to start.
My starting frontcourt only averaged 24/14.5 COMBINED last sim, and that is a cause for concern. Not sure why Borgmann is playing so poorly compared to last season.
Evans won POM which is nice to see, he has been distributing nicely (10.2ast this sim to 3.2to) and shooting very efficiently (50% from FG and 3PT this sim).
Magic was off the charts though this sim: 30.1pts, 7.8reb, 4.0ast, 1.6stl, 3.2to, 51.5%fg

Arrggggg. Ralph is out for a while. I've been wondering how I'd do without him, and now I'll see.
