Regular Season - Sim 27

I've got to get my guys to shoot better. I neglected to see who I was playing against, otherwise, I would have put Welsey on Harden as he's got our highest defensive rating at the 2/3 spot...Almost a 30 point loss.

two more wins for Indy and we're on a 6-game win streak.

These two games were wins over MIN and MIL- the first of which marked Lebron's FOURTH 50-point game in his last eight games. Love led Minny with 27/18 but Minnesota lost 120-113.

The 125-117 win over Milwaukee may have been the best games for Parker and Nowitzki in Pacer uniforms. Parker had 23/9/9, while Dirk had a promising 21/7 on 67% shooting. Pacers shot a blistering 58% and were able to win despite a 15-rebound deficit on the boards. Faried paced the Bucks with an impressive 25/18.

BRO 74 - 88 OKC

Seems that Brooklyn tried to zone us hard, and if it was not for our defense, we'd have lost that game.
1st time our team didn't respond well to being zoned. Everyone bricked lots of 3pts and Howard got very few touches.
Great to see 23 assists to 6 TOs, and they created 0 steals by playing zone, so we took care of the ball very well on this one.
Good team effort defensively. JR Smith almost shot us out of the game, along with Brewer who took 5 3pts and sinked none of them. But in the end Kemba, PG and Bullock off the bench were enough to beat them in one of the worst shooting performances (if not the worst) from our team.

A win is a win and I'll take that over a great shooting night but losing the game.
18-12 and back to .600
Competition for a PO spot at the West is very though, with Minny 3 wins over .500 and still out of POs.
Gonna keep playing the best ball we can to consolidate a playoff spot.

Barely lost a tough game to Indy in which LeBron's 23 FTs cost us the game.

Then we went to Washington where we took down John Wall behind Chandler Parsons' 28 points.

We go to Phoenix next after already losing to them once this season. Can't drop another one.

Wow great team , rizzo your team soon will be the best in the west. But utah will continue play hard.

Back to back games vs. PHI, we won both.

@ away:

Barnes put up an efficient 24 and Cousins had a great game with 18/17/5 w/ 3 stls. The match-ups I was looking at were Thabo/Wade and Hibbert/Bynum. Thabo made Wade work for his 24 points and held him to 8-25 shooting and while Bynum put up a 21/7 game on 9-12 shooting he fouled out in 17 minutes. 


@ home:

We held PHI to 74 points and Thabo once again did a masterful job defensively on Wade who turned the ball over 11 times. Hibbert held Bynum to 4/13 on 2-12 shooting and for all the talk of Hibbert being foul prone it was Bynum who fouled out again. Hibbert had a nice line with 14/15 w/ 2 stls and 8 blks in 29 minutes.

Next up TOR.

Dragic performed admirably for us in our first effort under our new system. Dragic shot 65% to score 39 points this game and is now north of 50% from the field this season.

MKG also had an awesome game with 39 points on 73% shooing, 10 assists, and 4 steals showcasing his awesome all-around game.

Win at TOR – 118-101
Solid win on the road. Lillard had 36/9/5 on 50% shooting. We made 14 threes on 52% from downtown with Beasley going 3-3 for 12 points in 13 mins. We were outrebounded by 11 but had only 8 TOs.
Win vs ORL – 95 – 131
Good home win and I see there was a lot of garbage time as everyone played in double figure minutes. We shot 66% from the field, 45% from three and 89%from the line. Grabbed 18 more rebounds and blocked 9 shots. Lillard led the way with 25/13/6 and LMA chipped in with 22/8

Lost to the Pistons on the road. Will be interesting when we play them at home to see what happens.

We have scrimmages against each other on the road...the guys take it really seriously.



However, we also lost to the Pelicans on the road.

L: New York Knicks 99 @ 118 Los Angeles Lakers
Ricky Rubio: 8 points, 10 asists, 2 steals
JaVale McGee: 32 points, 9 rebounds, 2 blocks

Lakers killed us with their great shooting night.
Bosh and McGee had a greagt night, combining for 54 points, but no other Knick stepped up offensively in LA.
Chase had an specially awful game, as he went 0/15! But we can't blame him for a bad game, since he's been playing great the whole season for us.
