Otherwise nothing longer than 8 days ...

So enjoy ...

[BlazersGM]

We killed your championship team!!

[CelticsGM]

ouch.

Horrible start into the season for the Celtics. If not playing the Bulls three times we might be winless.
Made some very bad calls, like
- thinking Sam Perkins still has it (he hasn't)
- believing Kenny A wouldn't turn it over in bunches (he does)
- guessing Joe Kleine would be the best starting C (he isn't)
- hoping we would play D (we don't, gave up 119ppg !!!)
- assuming the frontline could block shot (it can't, near-league worst 3.3bpg)

Of course, playing both finalists from last season doesn't help, either. But we lost 4 more games (3 at home) by a combined 75 pts !!!

Things can only get better. Definitely ...
 

[HawksGM]

Hawks are happy with the first sim of the regular season.  Hakeem and Lionel Simmons are both shouldering the scoring load with each scoring around 27 per game.  Injuries will be the death of me, unless the rookies step up, which is doubtful.  Everyone is playing their role right now, if the guys keep this up we will definitely have 1st round home court.

bah.

[MagicGM]

terrible sim for my team.

My opponents made 47% of their shots. Yikes. About time I go back to my lineup last year.

Still some key highlights for my team. Monta is balling. We shot bad too. damn

Gasol aint ready for primetime yet.

[BlazersGM]

Pretty impressive sim, all my starters had some monstrous games. Joe dropped 41 on Mavs, Ervin had 19rebs and 7blocks against
Celtics, Kerr career-high 20 assists vs Mavs, Bargnani 44pts at Hawks and another near triple double.

But last game we didnt function at all, Sixers killed us at home. Suprisngly we top league in APG, and unsuprisingly in BPG.

Kerr is posting insane numbers 24ppg 11apg 1.7spg 4.0rpg 53%FG 90%FT 59%3PT but his topg are "high" at 2.3topg but i guess
its caused by change in pace.

[RaptorsGM]

Good 6-4 start, didn't really think I'd have a winning team until after FA/TC. Now things look good. I really like Diddle's scoring and would like to find a different home for Archibald to open the floor for Diddle. As is, I'm getting very, very balanced scoring with 6 guys getting 10+ and 4 big contributors in Sap/Dids/Parks/Cock.

[MavsGM]

3-5 sim but we outscored the other teams by 4 points a game, so that's a good sign.

[Iverson2Korver43]

I like the fact we are 6-0, but I'm not sure I like the way it's getting done...  Outside of leading the league in APG, Brandon has dropped off in almost every other category...  Chapman and Bias are playing great...  I would like to see 1 more BPG out of Welp...  Hubbard is still playing great off the bench at the ripe old age of 36...

[PacersGM]

well Tom told you that you can challenge the hornets for worst record
well that is the only thing that makes fun for me at the moment. team is really horrible at scoring and i need a third reliable scorer.

[SonicsGM]

Okay start, I guess, for the Sonics. 3-4 record (3-2 with Danny Manning, who missed a pair of ugly games) is okay by me. As long as we can tread water before the addition of Buck Williams, I am happy.

Parker Thurmond: 19.3 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 2 APG, 2.3 BPG, 1 SPG (I like this guy a ton)

[HornetsGM]

Hey!, I'm actually not doing too bad -- I have a positive ppg differential (+2) (though I have a losing record). There are lots of worse teams than mine. Granted things might get worse when Buck and Newcomb are gone.

[SixersGM]

I just thought that we were on a hot streak.

Offensively, Glen Rice, Jamal and Rod Strickland is stepping it up offensively by increasing 3-5ppg in their scoring.

Defensively, we definitely got hurt A LOT losing Jonathon and Granger. By giving up 102ppg (ouch) and not having our usual 10bpg production as a team. And while Andrew Bynum is struggling by his .403 FG% and 8rpg, it's nice to see that Chuck Murray is trying to carry the load on the defensive end.

Well, one thing I've learned in sim leagues is to never trust too much on the first sim.
Because we're going to get a relatively higher or lower stats than the normal. 

[HeatGM]

forgot to input my DC... 2-3...not bad... penny is still penny.. while everybody is playing below average let's see how my team will compete with a good DC

@sixers... i think bynum is playing well at the defensive end...2.3 bpg and 1.1 spg....the reason your defense went down is trey wooten not living up to his standard a season ago... he went 1.9bpg from 3bpg..
