Notes:
I am going to input the three team trades later on this evening when I have time to focus and make sure the trades work financially, but wanted to get the results posted for everyone earlier rather than later.

SS

5 game winning streak with a win over the Jazz despite injuries to key players in Mayo, Teague, and Zeller. Somehow, we just keep pulling out the wins.

DeMar, despite a bit of a shooting slump, led us with 22 points and 7 rebounds on 8-21 shooting...Tough. Channing Frye everyone, with Bogut in foul trouble, he again, stepped in and put up 19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 assists on 8-11 shooting.

George Hill continues to run our offense the way we want, going for 18 points, 7 assists, 2 steals on 4-6 shooting while being agressive and getting to the free throw line (9-10). David West with a double double of 13 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals but struggled shooting on 4-14 shooting. Jamaal Franklin started for the injured Mayo going for 11 points. DJ Cooper added in 11 points off the bench while Bogut produced a double double of 10/10 with 4 blocks before fouling out.

We had no business winning tonight...22 turnovers to their 17. Less assists, steals, blocks...It was our ability to get to the free throw line that won us the game, and us hitting our free throws (other than Franklin's 1-4 FT). We managed to foul out Mike Conley and Devin Harris. It looks like Nic Batum might have killed them...2-10 from downtown.

MEMPHIS 85 - 123 OKLAHOMA CITY

Our team filled the stat sheet with more than 10 at every team category (including steals, blocks, turnovers, assist, rebounds, FTM, 3ptM, I mean, just everything). This was a win we had to secure.

THE GOOD:
-> Everything, but:

THE BAD:
-> Nene is out for 10 days. Ouch.

Absolutely destroyed the Warriors.

W: New York Knicks 117 @ 100 Brooklyn Nets
Ricky Rubio: 32 points, 8 asists, 4 steals, 3 rebounds
Chris Bosh: 23 points, 15 rebounds, 3 steals

Nothing like beating the Nets to forget the end of our winning streak and start a new one  

Rubio was rested after sitting out most of the game against the Blazers, so he got fancy scoring 32 points to forget that game.
Even if it wasn't one of our greatest games, we forced them to 26 TOs while only committing 12 ourselves, and that maximices the changes to win ballgames a lot.

So productive night overall for the Knicks across the bridge   

Thanks SS. Anyway, we lost another game, this time against Toronto on the road. At least Paul will be in full health in 2 days.

Lost again vs dallas the free shoots destroy us, we win the rest of thing but a lot of diference in fauls with shoot i found fail fastbreak points and fauls for me. But i learn this we have 82 games and except playoffs doon't change much.
Good game bestname, is curius dallas three losses, two denver and two washington. 7 of 14 of my losses. I don't know but i think that have different think in your philosophy and now i know this. 3 place in the west good position for playoffs, we have improve things

Did not realize that we are 3-1 against the Jazz. Lucky for them, we very likely wont be in the post season...

I don't believe i found the mistake and why you win jejej

Looks like the file hasn't been updated yet, but we didn't have any games this sim.

WOW didn't get my roster in on time so my depth was set at default after trade...Glenn Robinson REALLY ? lmao...you're welcome Jestor.

Bledsoe 12 minutes Burke 9 ? Cmon DDS....how could that be the default "auto" lineup lol

Sigh... Another loss. One bright spot was Kanter getting a double double on very efficient shooting. We hope he continues to provide these types of games. Eric Gordon was LOCKED DOWN by Iggy. This is one of those games Gordon has to just move past. Evan Turner should not be taking 17 shots in any game..

no games for us. just waiting on the big trade to go through.

Magic now 13 - 34

Another shocking night for the Magic.

San Antonio 68 @ Orlando 110

Giannis and Wiggins lead the way again.

Giannis - 22 pts, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 TOs
Wiggins - 22 pts, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 0 TOs

Off the bench, Taj has 14 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Story of the game - Orlando 47.2% from the floor, the Spurs hit only 30.8% of their shots.

Next up…

Sacramento comes to the Magic Kingdom

L vs. DEN

We visit DEN and apparently Monroe had this game circled on his calendar. He took it to Cousins and ended up with 30/10/5. Cousins had 15/12/2 w/ 4 stls which is solid but he lost this matchup. Holiday almost had a triple double. Asik shutdown Hibbert and DEN did a great job defensively as a team. Meeks started for us and Barnes played off the bench but it wouldn't have mattered anyway, we lost by 12.

Next up is MIA.

103-94 W

Didn't realize we were scheduled tonite but good win for us at home against an unpredictable Cleveland team as we were led by Iggy's 23pt 6reb 4ast 1stl 2blk performance while Thompson had 16pts 16rebs 4blks and Kaman with 8pts 10rebs.

We have a very solid rebounding squad thanks to the perimeter guys being capable to rebound.

I wonder which teams are in the Top 5 in rebs?

Good game RobIII

I did a bad change in strategy. If Rubio plays free, they destroy our defense easily. The partition of shootings of the Nets has been horrible (Matthews, Lee and Okafor have thrown more shots than Curry), in this case the triple-double of Curry is worthless.

Congrats Jamal.

lost at DET -101-117

wow nasty game at the best team in the East. POR players decided to take a day off here. Lillard tried to carry the team with a career high 55 points but DET are too good for one player. They played great but we were disgracefully bad

Beat the Blazers at home but man Lillard went off with 55 points.  Luckily the rest of my guys played solid defense and the rest of their team didn't do too much, but man hes good. 

We had a good contribution from everyone especially Dre with his 22 and 11 with 4 blocks.  Even Wilson Chandler threw in 18.

Got a win over a good team which is surprising. Actually, we seem to only be able to beat good teams with all our wins against teams over .500 with Indy being the worst (Detroit, Miami, LAC, Houston, Indy and Chicago). Can't even beat a lower team.
