A winnable game in Golden State but still a loss  

No games for us, but.. Man what a game from Tyreke. He IS the real deal when he can dominate the ball.

Just like our last game against Charlotte, this was an ugly win. Granger, Parsons, Bogut, and Love all shot below 50%. However, Bogut and Love both ended with double doubles as we dominated the boards against the Lakers missing Horford. Blatche is still playing 20 minutes for some reason, which shouldn't happen. Still need to fix that, he's been getting too many minutes since Cauley left the lineup with an injury.

Jeremy Lin was the one who really kept us in this game though. Lin slowed down the "best point guard in the league", forcing him to shoot 11/25 from the field and 0/5 from 3, with 4 fouls and 7 turnovers. Lin shot a ridiculous 80% from the field which made our team FG% a bearable 48%, but I don't want to know what we shot without taking into account his percentage. They shot 44%.

Next sim we play at home versus New Orleans, who we beat not too long ago in their building. It'd be huge for us to go up 2-0 in the series against them.

Can we talk about Wiggins scoring 17 points in 18 minutes? To bad stupid Tyreke Evans lit them up!

Also noting Jordan Hill trying to play up to his contract with 10/16/4 off the bench LOL

And Stuckey, 21 points in 11 minutes.. This guy wants more minutes BI! Also, Hibbert AND Cousins fouling out together.. I knew some day it would happen hahaha still was a close one, ATL almost got the W.

It's official. We need a shake-up. Lebron scores 50 points on 30 shots and still can't pull off the win against Washington. 100-94 Wizards win as Wall (34/5/5) and Blake (20/10/ had outstanding games.

L vs. CHA

Our stars showed up, especially Parker but man did our role players blow. Amare went back to his PHX years and went to the line 29 times! Hibbert and Cousins simply couldn't handle him. 

CHA did a great defensive job, holding Okafor, Thompson, Mathews and Thabo to a combined....

5/31


On a positive note Barnes played MKG to a draw pretty much and had an efficient game against the best perimeter defender in the league and Parker continues to produce (24/2/7) but turned it over a ton.

Next up DAL.

Heat 108 Rockets 105

CSL Scoring Leader Heat SF Kevin Durant does the Nae Nae as Rockets SG Terrence Ross draws the foul

It was a tough battle as the reigning CSL champs came to Houston riding high on the scoring run Kevin Durant is currently having as he led all scorers with 37pts while F Danilo Gallinari paced Houston with 25pts 4rebs 5asts 3stls and 1blk while C Bismack Biyombo contributed with 20pts and 12rebs. In what was set to be a duel between the top two scorers in the League, Rockets SG James Harden sat out for the second game in a row watching on as Houston lost in back to back games (the first to the Pelicans in New Orleans 119-99). Harden is scheduled to return in about 10 more days.

It's tough but I expect it to be cause teams can kinda key in on us individually a little harder than before but I think we'll be able to step up and perform um a little better than we have...it was a close one tonight and I thought we'd be able to pull it off... Ok thanks...

With another couple of days off, Houston should be seeing the return of Tristan Thompson soon as he'll join Reggie Jackson who has come back after sitting a few days with a sore back.

No games for the Knicks this sim

Win vs DEN – 94-126
Uncharacteristically we had 16 TOs which is not good. Lillard had 5 TOs but otherwise dominated once again wth 35/15/7. We also got a huge boost from Meyers Leonard off the bench once again with 11/13 and John Henson with 15/9. We shot 55% and 57% from downtown. While DEN shot 40% and only made 1 of 12 from three. Both teams had 6 players in double figures

No games, but Boston up next.

Nice surprise to take one away from the Hawks. Much respect to BI and his squad, it seems the only reason we were able to sneak a win had to do with getting Cousins and Hibbert into early foul trouble. The pair combined for only 46 minutes of action before fouling out. Thomas Robinson also fouled out after only 11 minutes.

Jordan Hill had a surprising game - 10 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks in 30 minutes of action, in-place of Varejao who fouled out after 18 minutes of action.

Stoudemire. Man I love this guy. He only shot 33% from the field on 15 shots, but he scored 33 points as a result of his extended vacation at the free throw line. For those keeping score at home, that's 2.2 PPSA.

Finally, it deserves mention here since I feel he flies under the radar too often, but MKG had a pretty typical outing. 18 points on 50%, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, 4 blocks.

Now we get ready for Miami.

That's weird, because it seems like 3 *really* prioritizes the franchise player who can carry a team singlehandedly, much moreso than 1 or 2.
