NOTES:

Atlanta - Player Instructions already entered.  Thanks for making my first sim harder than it had to be.

Oh no....our catalyst, Tyson Chandler.....just tore his achilles. Out for the season.

1-1 sim. We were able to hold off our Western tormentors Houston Rockets but unfortunately Deron got injured the game after that might be the difference in our lost to the Spurs.

So... one sim and we drop from 1st to 4th in the division with two losses. Yay!

Did not have any games this sim.

Funny, a lot of people questioned the moves by the Chicago Bulls...including myself, but right now, the Bulls are clicking right now. 7 game win streak right now. Denver drops their first of the season against Brooklyn. OKC Thunder continue to struggle too. Lots to talk about during this sim...Tough tough loss for the Warriors too, that hurts a lot.

2-0 sim beating the Dinosaurs and Fakers on our home court.



Satisfying sim I suppose but still going to hurt from the loss of Tyson. He really lifted our team with his elite FG% and allowed us to have a deep bench. I'm confident Kanter can pick up the slack but man really gonna miss him.

I just don't know this game well enough to get a win at the moment. I know Pierce will be taking a seat on the bench though. 21% from the field through 7 games. He's earned it.

Booker out for the season but I forgot to take him out last sim.

So where is the DC thread for Sim 6? I need to take Deron and Biedrins out lol

Beat the Bucks 98-83. Rose had 29 points 7 assists 6 blocks 2 steals and 4 rebounds. Splitter had 19 points 9 rebounds. Noah had 20 rebounds. The team shot an abysmal 38% but held Milwaukee to 36%.

Rose hurt with a strained abdominal. 86% 11 days.

I appreciate your modesty but I have no problem saying we got the hell beat out of us by 27, no gray area for us in any of our games. Either team'll blow us out or we will blow teams out.

It is good however to see Harden not only continue his offensive assault but also move from the Top 10 in TO's.

Great game rhoxxy.

haha it's the respect that you deserved for being such a great sportman. Nice game Willy.

missing the league file and it seems that my depth chart was not uploaded

lost at LAL 116-123

Good tough game. We played well overall but had 20 TOs which is not going to work on the road. Lillard had 32 with 8 rebounds and 8 assists but also led us with 7 TOs. Westbrook scored 26 with 5 assists but struggled with fouls with 5.

It's still early but man... looking back at those season previews Greg Anthony has been pretty damn good with those darkhorse picks of your Bulls and the Nuggets as well.

@rhoxxy I appreciate the kind words man, it pays to be a good sport, win or lose cause as quickly as James Harden's pic is in the banner it could just as quickly be replaced, it's a competition and you never know when a team's turn has come and gone so best to stay humble and appreciate the ride while you can.

W vs. BOS - Hayward destroyed Barnes on both ends but Cousins stepped up again and we got the win. Dieng had a great game too - 14/9 w/ 4 blks (19 minutes) but had trouble with Okafor (22 points).

W vs. OKC - Solid win, Cousins and Howard had a great back and forth but the difference was Barnes outplaying George in this one, Barnes had 34/6 on 50+ FG% and 2/4 from 3  with 1 turnover while George had 18/6/5 w/ 4 blks but turned it over 10 times.

Overall


Parker and Smith have been very inconsistent but everyone is contributing scoring on different nights and our center rotation has been giving us good minutes.

DEN 93 @ BRO 100

Rondo : 17 pts, 16 ast, 12 TO
Lopez : 32 pts

Excelent game by the Nets. I know we lost a lot of balls for Nuggs pressure. Pekovic was fouled out quickly (only 18 mins) and Hickson didn't play good game.

W: New York Knicks 103 @ 90 Indiana Pacers
Ricky Rubio: 17 points, 12 asists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals
Chris Bosh: 28 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block

After a tough loss at home the team went to Indianapolis with the win in his head.
We didn't get scared by the big names we had in front in Kobe, Dirk and LeBron, and played like a team to make them suffer defensively and struggle offensively.
Bosh had a great game, and couldn't be stopped by Dirk in the post.
Meanwhile Ricky did what he often does, make his teammates better with 12 asists and a solid performance with also 17 points, 4 rebs and 3 steals.

For the Pacers it was only LeBron all night, with some flashes from Kobe sometimes, and even though he (James) went for 30 points, it wasn't enough to get the W at home, as the Pacers trailed by as many as 24 points in the third quarter.


W: Boston Celtics 69 @ 126 New York Knicks
Ricky Rubio: 27 points, 10 asists, 10 steals, 5 rebounds, 0 TOs
Chris Bosh: 18 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals

Tough game for Dennis and his Celtics tonight at the Garden.
But it wasn't what it looks like by looking at the scoreboard. It was a 11 point game at the break, and we increased the lead a bit more in the third. But it wasn't until the 4th when our guys started hitting from everywhere and made the huge difference.
Curious thing is that our starters didn't play much, but the second unit had something to prove to his coach and played better than ever in their increased minutes: 18 points from Koufos, 16 from Belinelli, and 14 from Babbitt.

But another game we have to speak about our guy Ricky Rubio. The kid went crazy on this one, with the second triple double of the season with 27 points, 10 dimes, 10 steals to go with 5 rebounds in 34 minutes of play!
Rubio leads the league in:
-triple doubles (with 2)
-double doubles (with 7) two more than Vucevic, Bynum, Howard, Favors and Love
-steals (3.6) tied with Rudy Gay
-and now second in asists with 12.8 (Rondo just passed him with 12.9)

Forgot to mention, we now face both Miami and OKC in the next sim.. Let's go Knicks!  

Beat the Wolves to go to 4-2 with Melo and Jameer banged up a little. Have some tough games coming up though where we're going to need everyone to step up to get the wins.

Drummond with a near triple double with 24 points, 13 boards, and 9 blocks. Bogut on the other end had 7 blocks for Minnesota.

#FreeEnes!!!

I believe it will be a hard season for us.
Schröder is struggling to stay on the Court actually.
On Top rubio just injured Dennis while putting up a triple double.

anyway, I like this SIM because Im always happy if I see NY win and OKC or Minnesota lose games ... So it was a bad SIM for the GM inside of me and a great one for the fanyboy/hater part

Ricky Rubio has been playing fantastic basketball to start this season. Just masterful.
