Sim 12 done

[BlazersGM]

Nice, Hakeem finished again as a league leading scorer, won All-League 2nd Team, sweet. Hopefully hell improve his shotblocking like in real life and be a true monster.

And Porter made All-Rookie 2nd, ridicolous tough.

15,4mpg 3,9ppg    1,9rpg    2,5apg    LOL.

[GoldenStateGM]

Well, nice way to end the season, going 7-1, and Barton winning the final Player of the Month Award.  The 2nd Pacific Division title, and homecourt in the playoffs through the Western Conference.

Congratulations to Bennet Fuqua, a very, very deserving 6th man of the year.
No other Warriors received any awards this year.

Kings may be the worst team for the Warriors to play, since we split the season series with them, 2-2.

Mehta with his 3rd Defensive Player of the Year in a row (4 total) and 7th 1st Team All SSBA in the last 8 years (he settled for a 2nd Team one year).  Was the last player of the week with a 14/16/14 block game. 

 

who was the poor fellow Mehta got 14 blocks against

...

oh, Patrick Ewing.
Equally stunning is the fact Ewing tried to shoot 37 (THIRTYSEVEN) time against the defensive player of the year (converted 12 for 30 pts). I don't know if you have to have zero game intelligence or no brain at all to act like that

(there is a certain species of wasps that show a similar behaviour like Ewing. Once they start a task they are unable to stop the action until it's completed, even if the surrounding conditions changed and there's absolutely no chance to suceed when proceeding. Interesting comparison ...)

That's one thing that bugs me about FBB -- I'd like the ability to micro-coach my team a bit more.

[NetsGM]

It'll be nice if the new version of fbb ever comes to fruition.

[CelticsGM]

That's one thing that bugs me about FBB -- I'd like the ability to micro-coach my team a bit more.

that's not a problem for FBB. It DOES have the option to coach a team, make substitutions, change game settings within the game. But you can't run a sim league that way.

Well, maybe the finals, hmmmmmmmmm ...

That is good news, last year when that McCormick guy got it, he got shafted - or as we say in RBSL - "Causwelled".

[NetsGM]

bucks nets should be fun to watch. really hope nets will advance because bucks have played my team really well this season.
not that pistons will be easy. they have almost identical team stats in all important cats.

Well, then I hope so too. Richard Milner is pasting this "quote" on the locker room wall as we speak.

[CelticsGM]

As far as I remember, "pasting quotes" doesn't win you a series.

[RaptorsGM]

Wow, thats the first I've heard of a prospective new version...I thought heavyreign disappeared

[BucksGM]

Well, then I hope so too. Richard Milner is pasting this "quote" on the locker room wall as we speak.

Well I did account for 20% of the Pacers' losses by winning 3 of 4. 

Besides, it's not like playing the Hornets is much better than the Pacers in Round 2.  And the Nets had a really good 2nd half.

[NetsGM]

I know, I know....but the "Milner Nets" did OK against the Pacers two, accounting for 12.5% of their losses.

I'm making all of these references to Milner being motivated because, obviously, he's the heart and soul of the Nets - without him (pro-rating our win % without him), we would have missed the playoffs - and in fact are quite terrible.

But, with him....we're not far off the best teams of the East, which are the best teams in the league. So, when someone says they look forward to playing us/him, when he leads the team to a near .700 winning percentage....he gets a little fired up. 

For the record, we went 3-2 in our "Milner games" against the Elite East teams (the four teams that ended up ahead of us). The unfortunate thing is that we we only played the 5 games against the Elite (of 15) with him in the lineup and got slaughtered the rest of the time (1-9) - so I don't really have a sense of how we stack up against the best, and have NO idea how we stack up against the Hornets/Celts since both season series were finished before game 51.

I'm perseverating on this abit, I know, but Milner/Schmalz are getting up there, so my window of opportunity is now, next year...maybe the next one, and I really wanted to enjoy butting heads with the best this year to see where we stand. I thought we had a great crack at winning the division and home court advantage for a bit, too.

Which of course, makes all my yammering moot if we got booted in the first round in MIL.

Nah, he came back and promised a new version and claimed he was working on it full time.... yeah right!

Take our money and run, I bought it and I need new codes for my league, took forever to get. Fortunately, someone cracked the game instead! LOL

You could have asked.  I have a 'work-around' that I made myself.  Ask Hawks.  It works.

[WizardsGM]

I have a patch for the old version, didnt pay a cent.
