Notes:
DAL - OJ Mayo already has that instruction, and your other instructions were invalid. You cannot do drive at the expense of threes. You can do drive at the expense of shooting.

Did you at least put the instructions in? I had specified that if I was wording it incorrectly, to simply adjust it so that it works. And I had forgotten that I already gave Mayo that instruction about a week ago. Thanks Dylan.

Anyways, lost a close one to Denver. DeMar has been our scoring machine as of late but he's struggling to take care of the ball.

Win against Memphis 115-103. 

Ty Lawson scored 31 points and Tyreke Evans had 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in yet another win. Kawhi had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 5 steals, and Shelden Williams and Glen Davis were both solid, with 11-7 and 10-8 respectively.

We're now 8-2 since the trade. Anyone still think we're an automatic win? We're legit.

No I did not. Wanted to make sure you know exactly what you are inputting before I actually do it. You can just post the correct ones for the next sim and they'll be inputted.

A loss on the road to the Lakers. We got dominated inside the paint and that's the whole story.

Anyway, thanks Dylan for taking over the sim.

Thanks for the sim, got crushed by the Knicks by 22 on the road. We are a terrible road team.

Next up Minnesota.

CHARLOTTE 86 - 104 OKLAHOMA CITY

Finally a win after 3 straight games at home. We had a nice advantage on steals, less TO's and did well on the offensive glass, and that lead to more shots. Even though they shot the ball better, we had 15 more shots, which lead to more FGM and even 3PTM.

THE GOOD:
-> Won the battle for the boards, even though Howard played only 25 minutes and is still playing injured.
-> Deron finally appeared in a OKC game. That can be considered his "debut".
-> Nice games by Brewer and Bullock.

THE BAD:
-> George and Howard shot the ball awful. They shot better as a team than us overall much because of our 2 best players having off shooting nights.
-> Howard fouled out in 25 minutes. Still we got the win so nothing to complain.

Huge game tomorrow. LeBron returns to OKC for the first time. Let's see how well George will do against Bron Bron.

No interest in showing myself get stomped so any new vid requests since I got the hell beat outta me by Jamal's Knicks?

We're in the midst of a brutal road trip. So there's our third straight loss in a 122-104 drubbing vs. Utah.

Lebron had 43, but his next biggest help was Tony Parker, with just 12/4/4. Kobe was held to no field goals in 28 minutes, while Conley and Ibaka run wild on us. Derrick Favors played only one minute for Utah but they still can away with an easy win.

The schedule doesn't get easy anytime soon, as we'll have to wait ten days before we play a below-.500 team again. Our next five games are against OKC, Denver, Atlanta, Detroit, and Minnesota- four of which are on the road.

A matchup preview of the King coming back to OKC would be nice

Was thinking tonite's simmed games but I could make that happen. That's a good storyline and set to be a big game.

Finally got back on the winning side with an ugly defensive win over the Pistons. The Celtics are within striking distance now.

Win vs MIN - 85 - 120

Big home win vs TWolves. Lillard with 30 and 17 assists. LMA celebrated his new extension with 29/10. We shot 56% from the field, 46% from three and 82% from free throw line while MIN went 36%, 36% and 69%. We had 10 TOs vs 18 by Wolves. We also had 41 points off the bench even with Beasley injured. For Wolves Love had a decent game with 19/10 and Mclemore had 16 but it wasn't enough

W: Houston Rockets 99 @ 121 New York Knicks
Ricky Rubio: 14 points, 14 asists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 0 TOs
Chase Budinger: 21 points, 6 rebounds

Another blowout win at home, this time against the powerful Rockets.
A 27-39 start of the game, to go with a 13-32 third quarter, made the 2nd and 4th quarter Rockets wins useless.

Only Harden and maybe Danilo showed up tonight for Houston, while it was a complete team effort for the Knicks, with 7 players scoring in double figures, and Rubio orchestrating the show, as always.

Wow utah 122-104 indiana without favor stranger game with the bench play good sundiata gaines in only 12 minutes 11 points 3 assist, devin in sg starter stop kobe with 0-8, i don't like a lot of points but depend the offensive pace and field %.
Next game vs lakers at home without wesbrook will see.

Lost to Portland big time. Oh well. Getting used to losing at this point.

L vs. CHI

Hibbert got the better of Noah with 29/14 and our adjustment to get Rudy Gay more involved worked, he had 32/5 off the bench. Barnes continues to blossom with 29/7/2 but CHI did a great job on Cousins, no one has been able to hold him to a 10/9 night this season. Lowry had 10 assists but couldn't score on Rose who went off with 27/10.

CHI edges ahead for the 2nd seed. This ends a 6 game winning streak so I can't complain, next up BKN.

The battle of Florida goes to…

The Heat

Orlando 101 @ Miamia 130

The Heat beat us with only 8 players taking the floor (3 of which played a combined 33 minutes).

Wiggins has 20 points with 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Giannis had 19 with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Killed on the boards - 44 to 37. Also only had 19 free throw attempts compared to Miami's 41.

Next up…

Miami comes to Orlando…revenge or another ass whipping?

Suns zoned us hard and Jameer was throwing it up thee like it was going out of business.  Can't lose like that to a team we should stay closer to whether were on the road or not.
